Analog Devices MAX17558

Description

The MAX17558 is a dual-output, synchronous step-down controller that drives nMOSFETs. The device uses a constant-frequency, peak-current-mode architecture. The two outputs can be configured as independent voltage rails. Input capacitor size can be minimized by running the two outputs 180° out-of-phase. The IC supports current sensing using either an external current-sense resistor for accuracy or an inductor DCR for improved system efficiency. Current foldback limits MOSFET power dissipation under short-circuit conditions. The IC provides independent adjustable soft-start for each output and can start up monotonically into a prebiased output. The IC can be configured in either PWM or DCM modes of operation, depending on whether constant-frequency operation or light-load efficiency is desired. The IC operates over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range and is available in a lead(Pb)-free, 32-pin TQFN, 5mm x 5mm package with an exposed pad.
