MAXM17516 Datasheet, PDF (1/14 Pages) Maxim Integrated Products – Offers Flexibility for Power-Design Optimization

MAXM17516
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
6A, 2.4V to 5.5V Input,
High-Efficiency Power Module
General Description
The Himalaya series of voltage regulator ICs and
power modules enable cooler, smaller, and simpler
power supply solutions. The MAXM17516 is a fixed-
frequency, step-down power module in a thermally-
efficient system-in-package (SiP) package that operates
from a 2.4V to 5.5V input supply voltage and supports
output currents up to 6A. The device includes a switch-
mode power-supply controller, dual n-channel MOSFET
power switches, a fully-shielded inductor, as well as
compensation components. The device supports 0.75V
to 1.8V programmable output voltage. The high level
of integration significantly reduces design complexity,
manufacturing risks, and offers a true plug-and-play
power-supply solution, reducing the time to market.
The MAXM17516 is available in a thermally-enhanced,
compact 28-pin, 10mm x 6.5mm x 2.8mm SiP and can
operate over the -40°C to +125°C industrial temperature
range.
