Miniature step-down regulator with MOSFETs
A Maxim Integrated Products product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jan 14, 2011
Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX15040, a low-voltage (2.4 to 3.6V), synchronous switching regulator in a 2 x 2mm wafer-level package (WLP), for use in telecoms and server equipment.
This miniature step-down regulator integrates MOSFETs to simplify design, minimise EMI, improve reliability and save board space.
Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX15040, a low-voltage (2.4V to 3.6V), synchronous switching regulator in a 2 x 2mm wafer-level package
The MAX15040 operates from a fixed 1MHz switching frequency to further reduce total solution size, as it allows all-ceramic-capacitor designs.
Offering efficiencies up to 94 per cent at full load current (4A), this point-of-load regulator minimises power loss in applications such as telecom, networking and server equipment.
Other features include an enable input and power-good indicator for power sequencing, adjustable soft-start for controlled turn on and the ability to safely start up into a prebiased output.
The MAX15040 provides +/-1 per cent output-voltage accuracy over temperature and is fully specified over the -40C to +85C extended temperature range.
Prices start at $2.17 (?1.37) (1000-up, FOB USA).
