Analog Devices Max16990 | Demoboard MAXREFDES1017

Description

The MAX16990 is a high-performance, current-modePWM controller with 4μA (typ) shutdown current for wideinput voltage range boost/SEPIC converters. The 4.5V to36V input operating voltage range makes this device idealin automotive applications such as for front-end “preboost”or “SEPIC” power supplies and for the first booststage in high power LED lighting applications. An internallow-dropout regulator (PVL regulator) with a 5V outputvoltage enables the MAX16990 to operate directly froman automotive battery input. The input operating rangecan be extended to as low as 2.5V when the converteroutput is applied to the SUP input. The MAX16990 operatesin different frequency ranges. It can be synchronizedto an external master clock using the FSET/SYNC input.In addition, the MAX16990 has a factory-programmablespread-spectrum option. It is available in compact 12-pinTQFN and 10-pin μMAX® packages.
