General Description

The MAX15034 two-phase, configurable single- or dual output buck controller has an input voltage range of 4.75V to 5.5V or 5V to 28V. A mode select input? allows for a dual-output supply or connecting two phases together for a single-output, high-current supply. Each output channel of the MAX15034 drives n-channel MOSFETs and is capable of providing more than 25A of load current. The MAX15034 uses average currentmode control with a switching frequency up to 1MHz per phase where each phase is 180° out of phase with respect to the other. Out-of-phase operation results in significantly reduced input capacitor ripple current and output voltage ripple in dual-phase, single-output voltage applications. Each controller has its own high-performance current and voltage-error amplifier that can be compensated for optimum output filter L-C values and transient response.
