Regulator with Dual LDO Controllers
General Description
The MAX15022 is a dual-output, pulse-width-modulated
(PWM), step-down DC-DC regulator with dual LDO con-
trollers. The device operates from 2.5V to 5.5V and
each output can be adjusted from 0.6V to the input
supply (V_AVIN). The MAX15022 delivers up to 4A (regu-
lator 1) and 2A (regulator 2) of output current with two
LDO controllers that can be used to drive two external
PNP transistors to provide two additional outputs. This
device offers the ability to adjust the switching frequen-
cy from 500kHz to 4MHz and provides the capability of
optimizing the design in terms of size and performance.
The MAX15022 utilizes a voltage-mode control scheme
with external compensation to provide good noise
immunity and maximum flexibility in selecting inductor
values and capacitor types. The dual switching regula-
tors operate 180° out-of-phase, thereby reducing the
RMS input ripple current and thus the size of the input
bypass capacitor significantly.
The MAX15022 offers the ability to track (coincident or
ratiometric) or sequence during power-up and power-
down operation. When sequencing, it powers up glitch-
free into a prebiased output.
Additional features include an internal undervoltage
lockout with hysteresis and a digital soft-start/soft-stop
for glitch-free power-up and power-down. Protection
features include lossless cycle-by-cycle current limit,
hiccup-mode output short-circuit protection, and ther-
mal shutdown.
The MAX15022 is available in a space-saving, 5mm x
5mm, 28-pin TQFN-EP package and is specified for
operation from -40°C to +125°C temperature range.
