19-0734; Rev 0; 1/07 KIT ATION EVALU E L B AVAILA 1A, 4.5V to 40V Input Buck Converters with 50mA Auxiliary LDO Regulators Features The MAX15014-MAX15017 combine a step-down DCDC converter and a 50mA, low-quiescent-current lowdropout (LDO) regulator. The LDO regulator is ideal for powering always-on circuitry in automotive applications. The DC-DC converter input voltage range is 4.5V to 40V for the MAX15015/MAX15016, and 7.5V to 40V for the MAX15014/MAX15017. Combined DC-DC Converters and Low-QuiescentCurrent LDO Regulators 1A DC-DC Converters Operate from 4.5V to 40V (MAX15015/MAX15016) or 7.5V to 40V (MAX15014/MAX15017) Switching Frequency of 135kHz (MAX15014/MAX15016) or 500kHz (MAX15015/MAX15017) 50mA LDO Regulator Operates from 5V to 40V Independent of the DC-DC Converter 47A Quiescent Current with DC-DC Converter Off and LDO On 6A System Shutdown Current Frequency Synchronization Input Shutdown/Enable Inputs Adjustable Soft-Start Time Active-Low Open-Drain RESET Output with Programmable Timeout Delay Thermal Shutdown and Output Short-Circuit Protection Space-Saving (6mm x 6mm) Thermally Enhanced 36-Pin TQFN Package The DC-DC converter output is adjustable from 1.26V to 32V and can deliver up to 1A of load current. These devices utilize a feed-forward voltage-mode control scheme for good noise immunity in the high-voltage switching environment and offer external compensation allowing for maximum flexibility with a wide selection of inductor values and capacitor types. The switching frequency is internally fixed at 135kHz and 500kHz, depending on the version chosen. Moreover, the switching frequency can be synchronized to an external clock signal through the SYNC input. Light load efficiency is improved by automatically switching to a pulse-skip mode. The soft-start time is adjustable with an external capacitor. The DC-DC converter can be disabled independent of the LDO, thus reducing the quiescent current to 47A (typ). The LDO linear regulators operate from 5V to 40V and deliver a guaranteed 50mA load current. The devices feature a preset output voltage of 5V (MAX1501_A) or 3.3V (MAX1501_B). Alternatively, the output voltage can be adjusted from 1.5V to 11V by using an external resistive divider. The LDO section also features a RESET output with adjustable timeout period. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup-mode output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. All devices are available in a space-saving, high-power (2.86W), 36-pin TQFN package and are rated for operation over the -40C to +125C automotive temperature range.

Additional features include a programmable soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup-mode output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. The LDO linear regulator operates from 5V to 40V and delivers a guaranteed 50mA load current. The devices feature a preset output voltage of 5.0V (MAX1501_A) or 3.3V (MAX1501_B). Alternatively, the output voltage can be adjusted from 1.5V to 11V using an external resistive divider. The LDO section also features a RESET output with adjustable timeout period. The MAX15014-MAX15017 combine a voltage-mode buck converter with an internal 0.5 power MOSFET switch and a low-quiescent-current LDO regulator. The buck converter of the MAX15015/MAX15016 has a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 40V. The MAX15014/MAX15017's input voltage range is 7.5V to 40V. Fixed switching frequencies of 135kHz and 500kHz are available. The internal low RDS_ON switch allows for up to 1A of output current, and the output voltage can be adjusted from 1.26V to 32V. External compensation and voltage feed-forward simplify loop compensation design and allow for a wide variety of L and C filter components. All devices offer an automatic switchover to pulse-skipping (PFM) mode, providing low quiescent current and high efficiency at light loads. Under no load, PFM mode operation reduces the current consumption to 5.6mA for the MAX15014/ MAX15017 and 8.6mA for the MAX15015/MAX15016. In shutdown (DC-DC and LDO regulator off), the supply IN_SW Enable Inputs and UVLO The MAX15014-MAX15017 feature two logic inputs, EN_SW (active-high) and EN_SYS (active-high) that can be used to enable the switching power supply and the LDO_OUT outputs. When VEN_SW is higher than the threshold and EN_SYS is high, the switching power supply is enabled. When EN_SYS is high, the LDO is active. When EN_SYS is low, the entire chip is off (see Table 1).

Enable Inputs Configuration EN_SW LDO REGULATOR DC-DC SWITCHING CONVERTER Low Low Off Off Low High Off Off EN_SYS High Low On Off High High On On The MAX15014-MAX15017 provide undervoltage lockout (UVLO). The UVLO monitors the input voltage (VIN_LDO) and is fixed at 4.1V (MAX15015/MAX15016) or 7V (MAX15014/MAX15017). Internal Linear Regulator (REG) REG is the output terminal of a 5V (MAX15015/ MAX15016), or 8V (MAX15014/MAX15017) LDO which is powered from IN_SW and provides power to the IC. Connect REG externally to DVREG to provide power for the high-side MOSFET gate driver. Bypass REG to SGND with a ceramic capacitor (CREG) of at least 1F. Place the capacitor physically close to the MAX15014- MAX15017 to provide good bypassing. During normal operation, REG is intended for powering up only the internal circuitry and should not be used to supply power to external loads. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 MAX15014-MAX15017 IN_SW MAX15014-MAX15017 1A, 4.5V to 40V Input Buck Converters with 50mA Auxiliary LDO Regulators Soft-Start and Reference (SS) SS is the 1.235V reference bypass connection for the MAX15014-MAX15017 and also controls the soft-start period. At startup, after input voltage is applied at IN_SW, IN_LDO and the UVLO thresholds are reached, the device enters soft-start. During soft-start, 14A is sourced into the capacitor (CSS) connected from SS to SGND causing the reference voltage to ramp up slowly. When VSS reaches 1.244V, the output becomes fully active. Set the soft-start time (tSS) using following equation: V x CSS t SS = SS ISS where VSS = soft-start reference voltage = 1.235V (typ), ISS = soft-start current = 14 x 10-6A (typ), tSS is in seconds and CSS is in Farads. Internal Charge Pump (MAX15015/MAX15016) The MAX15015/MAX15016 feature an internal charge pump to enhance the turn-on of the internal MOSFET, allowing for operation with input voltages down to 4.5V. Connect a flying capacitor (CF) between C+ and C-, a boost diode from C+ to BST, as well as a bootstrap capacitor (CBST) between BST and LX to provide the gate drive voltage for the high-side n-channel DMOS switch. During the on-time, the flying capacitor is charged to VDVREG. During the off-time, the positive terminal of the flying capacitor (C+) is pumped to two times VDVREG and charge is dumped onto CBST to provide twice the regulator voltage across the high-side DMOS driver. Use a ceramic capacitor of at least 0.1F for CBST and CF located as close as possible to the device. Gate Drive Supply (DVREG) DVREG is the supply input for the internal high-side MOSFET driver. The power for DVREG is derived from the output of the internal regulator (REG). Connect DVREG to REG externally. To filter the switching noise, the use of an RC filter (1 and 0.47F) from REG to DVREG is recommended. In the MAX15015/MAX15016, the high-side drive supply is generated using the internal charge pump along with the bootstrap diode and capacitor. In the MAX15014/MAX15017, the high-side MOSFET driver supply is generated using only the bootstrap diode and capacitor. Error Amplifier The output of the internal error amplifier (COMP) is available for frequency compensation (see the Compensation Design section). The inverting input is FB, the noninverting input SS, and the output COMP. The error amplifier has an 16 80dB open-loop gain and a 1.8MHz GBW product. See the Typical Operating Characteristics for the Gain and Phase vs. Frequency graph. Oscillator/Synchronization Input (SYNC) With SYNC connected to SGND, the MAX15014- MAX15017 use their internal oscillator and switch at a fixed frequency of 135kHz and 500kHz. The MAX15014/ MAX15016 are the 135kHz options and MAX15015/ MAX15017 are the 500kHz options. For external synchronization, drive SYNC with an external clock from 400kHz to 600kHz (MAX15015/MAX15017) or 100kHz to 200kHz (MAX15014/MAX15016). When driven with an external clock, the device synchronizes to the rising edge of SYNC. PWM Comparator/Voltage Feed-Forward An internal ramp generator clocked by the internal oscillator is compared against the output of the error amplifier to generate the PWM signal. The maximum amplitude of the ramp (VRAMP) automatically adjusts to compensate for input voltage and oscillator frequency changes. This causes the V IN_SW / V RAMP to be a constant 10V/V across the input voltage range of 4.5V to 40V (MAX15015/MAX15016) or 7.5V to 40V (MAX15014/ MAX15017) and the SYNC frequency range of 400kHz to 600kHz (MAX15015/MAX15017) or 100kHz to 200kHz (MAX15014/MAX15016). Output Short-Circuit Protection (Hiccup Mode) The MAX15014-MAX15017 protect against an output short circuit by utilizing hiccup-mode protection. In hiccup mode, a series of sequential cycle-by-cycle current-limit events cause the part to shut down and restart with a soft-start sequence. This allows the device to operate with a continuous output short circuit. During normal operation, the current is monitored at the drain of the internal power MOSFET. When the current limit is exceeded, the internal power MOSFET turns off until the next on-cycle and a counter increments. If the counter counts seven consecutive current-limit events, the device discharges the soft-start capacitor and shuts down for 512 clock periods before restarting with a soft-start sequence. Each time the power MOSFET turns on and the device does not exceed the current limit, the counter is reset. LDO Regulator The LDO regulator operates over an input voltage from 5V to 40V, and can be enabled independently of the DC-DC converter section. Its quiescent current is as low as 47A with a load current of 100A. All devices ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1A, 4.5V to 40V Input Buck Converters with 50mA Auxiliary LDO Regulators RESET Output The RESET output is typically connected to the reset input of a microprocessor (P). A P's reset input starts or restarts the P in a known state. The MAX15014- MAX15017 supervisory circuits provide the reset logic to prevent code-execution errors during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. RESET changes from high to low whenever the monitored voltage drops below the RESET threshold voltage. Once the monitored voltage exceeds its respective RESET threshold voltage(s), RESET remains low for the RESET timeout period, then goes high. The RESET timeout period is adjustable with an external capacitor (CCT) connected to CT. Thermal-Shutdown Protection The MAX15014-MAX15017 feature thermal shutdown protection which limits the total power dissipation in the device and protects it in the event of an extended thermal fault condition. When the die temperature exceeds +160C, an internal thermal sensor shuts down the part, turning off the DC-DC converter and the LDO regulator, and allowing the IC to cool. After the die temperature falls by 20C, the part restarts with a soft-start sequence. Applications Information Setting the Output Voltage Connect a resistive divider (R3 and R4, see Figures 6 and 7) from OUT to FB to SGND to set the output voltage. Choose R3 and R4 so that DC errors due to the FB input bias current do not affect the output-voltage setting precision. For the most common output-voltage settings (3.3V or 5V), R3 values in the 10k range are adequate. Select R3 first and calculate R4 using the following equation: R4 = where VFB = 1.235V. R3 VOUT - 1 VFB Inductor Selection Three key inductor parameters must be specified for operation with the MAX15014-MAX15017: inductance value (L), peak inductor current (IPEAK), and inductor saturation current (ISAT). The minimum required inductance is a function of operating frequency, input-to-output voltage differential, and the peak-to-peak inductor current (IP-P). Higher IP-P allows for a lower inductor value while a lower IP-P requires a higher inductor value. A lower inductor value minimizes size and cost and improves large-signal and transient response, but reduces efficiency due to higher peak currents and higher peak-to-peak output voltage ripple for the same output capacitor. On the other hand, higher inductance increases efficiency by reducing the IP-P. Resistive losses due to extra wire turns can exceed the benefit gained from lower I P-P levels especially when the inductance is increased without also allowing for larger inductor dimensions. A good compromise is to choose IP-P equal to 40% of the full load current. Calculate the inductor using the following equation: (V - V ) V L = OUT IN OUT VIN x fSW x IP-P VIN and VOUT are typical values so that efficiency is optimum for typical conditions. The switching frequency (f SW ) is internally fixed at 135kHz (MAX15014/ MAX15016) or 500kHz (MAX15015/MAX15017) and can vary when synchronized to an external clock (see the Oscillator/Synchronization Input (SYNC) section). The IP-P, which reflects the peak-to-peak output ripple, is worst at the maximum input voltage. See the Output-Capacitor Selection section to verify that the worst-case output ripple is acceptable. The inductor current (ISAT) is also important to avoid current runaway during continuous output short circuit. Select an inductor with an I SAT specification higher than the maximum peak current limit of 2.6A. Input-Capacitor Selection The discontinuous input current of the buck converter causes large input ripple currents and therefore the input capacitor must be carefully chosen to keep the input voltage ripple within design requirements. The input voltage ripple is comprised of VQ (caused by the capacitor discharge) and VESR (caused by the ESR of the input capacitor). The total voltage ripple is the sum of VQ and VESR. Calculate the input capacitance and ESR required for a specified ripple using the following equations: ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX15014-MAX15017 feature a preset output voltage of 5V (MAX1501_A) or 3.3V (MAX1501_B). Alternatively, the output voltage can be adjusted using an external resistive-divider network connected between LDO_OUT, SET_LDO, and SGND. See Figure 5.

The MAX15014-MAX15017 include UVLO hysteresis and soft-start to avoid chattering during turn-on. However, use additional bulk capacitance if the input source impedance is high. Use enough input capacitance at lower input voltages to avoid possible undershoot below the undervoltage lockout threshold during transient loading. Output-Capacitor Selection The allowable output voltage ripple and the maximum deviation of the output voltage during load steps determine the output capacitance (COUT) and its equivalent series resistance (ESR). The output ripple is mainly composed of VQ (caused by the capacitor discharge) and VESR (caused by the voltage drop across the ESR of the output capacitor). The equations for calculating the peak-to-peak output voltage ripple are: IP-P 8 x COUT x fSW VESR = ESR x IP-P VQ = Normally, a good approximation of the output voltage ripple is VRIPPLE = VESR + VQ. If using ceramic capacitors, assume the contribution to the output voltage ripple from ESR and the capacitor discharge to be equal to 20% and 80%, respectively. IP-P is the peak-to-peak inductor current (see the Input-Capacitor Selection section) and fSW is the converter's switching frequency. The allowable deviation of the output voltage during fast load transients also determines the output capaci- 18 tance, its ESR, and its equivalent series inductance (ESL). The output capacitor supplies the load current during a load step until the controller responds with a greater duty cycle. The response time (t RESPONSE) depends on the closed-loop bandwidth of the converter (see the Compensation Design section). The resistive drop across the output capacitor's ESR, the drop across the capacitor's ESL (VESL), and the capacitor discharge causes a voltage droop during the loadstep. Use a combination of low-ESR tantalum/aluminum electrolytic and ceramic capacitors for better transient load and voltage ripple performance. Non-leaded capacitors and capacitors in parallel help reduce the ESL. Keep the maximum output voltage deviation below the tolerable limits of the electronics being powered. Use the following equations to calculate the required ESR, ESL, and capacitance value during a load step: VESR ISTEP I xt COUT = STEP RESPONSE VQ VESL x t STEP ESL = ISTEP 1 tRESPONSE 3 C ESR = where ISTEP is the load step, tSTEP is the rise time of the load step, tRESPONSE is the response time of the controller and fC is the closed-loop crossover frequency. Compensation Design The MAX15014-MAX15017 use a voltage-mode control scheme that regulates the output voltage by comparing the error amplifier output (COMP) with an internal ramp to produce the required duty cycle. The output lowpass LC filter creates a double pole at the resonant frequency, which has a gain drop of -40dB/decade. The error amplifier must compensate for this gain drop and phase shift to achieve a stable closed-loop system. The basic regulator loop consists of a power modulator, an output feedback divider, and a voltage error amplifier. The power modulator has a DC gain set by V IN / VRAMP, with a double pole and a single zero set by the output inductance (L), the output capacitance (COUT), and its ESR. The power modulator incorporates a voltage feed-forward feature, which automatically adjusts for variations in the input voltage resulting in a DC gain of 10. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1A, 4.5V to 40V Input Buck Converters with 50mA Auxiliary LDO Regulators GMOD _ DC = fLC = VIN VRAMP 1 C8 = 10 R5 C6 2 x x L x COUT fZESR = 1 fZI = 1 2 x R5 x C7 and fZ2 = 1 2 x (R3 + R6) x C6 and the higher frequency poles are at: fP2 = and fP3 = 1 2 x R6 x C6 1 C7 x C8 2 x R5 x C7 + C8 The compensation design primarily depends on the type of output capacitor. Ceramic capacitors exhibit very low ESR, and are well suited for high-switchingfrequency applications, but are limited in capacitance R6 R3 VOUT 2 x x COUT x ESR The switching frequency is internally set at 500kHz for MAX15015/MAX15017 and can vary from 400kHz to 600kHz when driven with an external SYNC signal. The switching frequency is internally set at 135kHz for MAX15014/MAX15016 and can vary from 100kHz to 200kHz when driven with an external sync signal. The crossover frequency (fC), which is the frequency when the closed-loop gain is equal to unity, should be set to around 1/10 of the switching frequency or below. The crossover frequency occurs above the LC doublepole frequency, and the error amplifier must provide a gain and phase bump to compensate for the rapid gain and phase loss from the LC double pole, which exhibits little damping. This is accomplished by utilizing a Type 3 compensator that introduces two zeroes and three poles into the control loop. The error amplifier has a low-frequency pole (fP1) near the origin so that tight voltage regulation at DC can be achieved. The two zeroes are at: C7 EA R4 COMP REF GAIN (dB) CLOSED-LOOP GAIN EA GAIN fZ1 fZ2 fC fP2 fP3 FREQUENCY Figure 3. Error Amplifier Compensation Circuit (Closed-Loop and Error-Amplifier Gain Plot) for Ceramic Capacitors value and tend to be more expensive. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have much larger ESR but can reach much larger capacitance values. Compensation when fC < fZESR This is usually the case when a ceramic capacitor is selected. In this case, fZESR occurs after fC. Figure 3 shows the error amplifier feedback as well as its gain response. fZ1 is set to 0.5 to 0.8 x fLC and fZ2 is set to fLC to compensate for the gain and phase loss due to the double pole. To achieve a 0dB crossover with -20dB/decade slope, poles fP2 and fP3 are set above the crossover frequency fC. The values for R3 and R4 are already determined in the Setting the Output Voltage section. The value of R3 is also used in the following calculations. Since fZ2 < fC < fP2, then R3 >> R6, and R3 + R6 can be approximated as R3. Now we can calculate C6 for zero fZ2 : C6 = 1 2 x fLC x R3 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 19 MAX15014-MAX15017 The following equations define the power modulator: MAX15014-MAX15017 1A, 4.5V to 40V Input Buck Converters with 50mA Auxiliary LDO Regulators fC occurs between fZ2 and fP2. In this region, the compensator gain (GEA) at fC is due primarily to C6 and R5. Therefore, GEA(fC) = 2 x fC x C6 x R5 and the modulator gain at fC is: C8 GMOD (fC ) = R6 GMOD _ DC (2 x fC )2 x L x COUT R3 VOUT Since GEA(fC) x GMOD(fC) = 1, R5 is calculated by: EA R4 The frequency of fZ1 is set to 0.5 x fLC and now we can calculate C7: 1 2 x C6 x (0.5 x fSW ) Note that if the crossover frequency has been chosen as 1/10 of the switching frequency, then fP2 = 5xfC. The purpose of fP3 is to further attenuate the residual switching ripple at the COMP pin. If the ESR zero (f ZESR) occurs in a region between fC and fSW / 2, then fP3 can be used to cancel it. This way, the Bode plot of the loop gain plot will not flatten out soon after the 0dB crossover, and will maintain its -20dB/decade slope up to 1/2 of the switching frequency. If the ESR zero well exceeds fSW/2 (or even fSW), fP3 should in any case be set high enough not to erode the phase margin at the crossover frequency. For example, it can be set between 5 x fC and 10 x fC. The value for C8 is calculated from: C8 = C7 (2 x C7 x R5 x fP3 - 1) Compensation when fC > fZESR For larger ESR capacitors such as tantalum and aluminum electrolytic, fZESR can occur before fC. If fZESR < fC, then fC occurs between fP2 and fP3. fZ1 and fZ2 remain the same as before however, f P2 is now set equal to fZESR. The output capacitor's ESR zero 20 GAIN (dB) CLOSED-LOOP GAIN EA GAIN 1 0.5 x 2 x R5 x fLC fP2 is set at 1/2 the switching frequency (fSW). R6 is then calculated by: R6 = COMP REF f x L x COUT x 2 R5 = C C6 x GMOD _ DC C7 = C7 R5 C6 fZ1 fZ2 fP2 fC fP3 FREQUENCY Figure 4. Error Amplifier Compensation Circuit (Closed-Loop and Error-Amplifier Gain Plot) for Higher ESR Output Capacitors frequency is higher than fLC but lower than the closedloop crossover frequency. The equations that define the error amplifier's poles and zeros (fZ1, fZ2, fP2, and fP3) are the same as before. However, fP2 is now lower than the closed-loop crossover frequency. Figure 4 shows the error amplifier feedback as well as its gain response for circuits that use higher-ESR output capacitors (tantalum or aluminum electrolytic). Again, starting from R3, calculate C6 for zero fZ2: C6 = 1 2 x fLC x R3 and then place fP2 to cancel the ESR zero. R6 is calculated as: R6 = COUT x ESR C6 If the value obtained here for R6 is not considerably smaller than R3, then recalculate C6 using (R3 + R6) in place of R3. Then use the new value of C6 to obtain a better approximation for R6. The process can be further iterated, and convergence is ensured as long as fLC < fZESR. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1A, 4.5V to 40V Input Buck Converters with 50mA Auxiliary LDO Regulators VIN_LDO IN_LDO LDO_OUT R3 x R6 fC2 R5 = x R3 + R6 GMOD _ DC x fLC2 C7 can still be calculated as: R1 MAX15014- MAX15017 SET_LDO C7 = 1 0.5 x 2 x R5 x fLC R2 SGND fP3 is set at 5xfC. Therefore, C8 is calculated as: C8 = C7 2 x C7 x R5 x fP3 - 1 Setting the LDO Linear Regulator Output Voltage The MAX15014-MAX15017 LDO regulator features Dual ModeTM operation: it can operate in either a preset voltage mode or an adjustable mode. In preset voltage mode, internal trimmed feedback resistors set the internal linear regulator to 3.3V or 5V (see the Selector Guide). Select preset voltage mode by connecting SET_LDO to ground. In adjustable mode, select an output voltage between 1.5V and 11V using two external resistors connected as a voltage-divider to SET_LDO (see Figure 5). Set the output voltage using the following equation: R1 VOUT = VSET _ LDO 1 + R2 where VSET_LDO = 1.241V and the recommended value for R2 is around 50k. Setting the RESET Timeout Delay The RESET timeout period is adjustable to accommodate a variety of P applications. Adjust the RESET timeout period by connecting a capacitor (C CT ) between CT and SGND. t RP = CCT x VCT - TH ICT - THQ where VCT-TH = delay comparator threshold (rising) = 1.241V (typ), ICT-THQ = CT charge current = 2 x 10-6A (typ), tRP is in seconds and CCT is in Farads. Figure 5. Setting the Output Voltage Using a Resistive Divider Connect CT to LDO_OUT to select the internally fixed timeout period. CCT must be low-leakage-type capacitor. Ceramic capacitors are recommended; do not use capacitors lower than 200pF to avoid the influence of parasitic capacitances. Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability For stable operation over the full temperature range and with load currents up to 50mA, use a 10F (min) output capacitor (CLDO_OUT) with a maximum ESR of 0.4. To reduce noise and improve load-transient response, stability, and power-supply rejection, use larger output capacitor values. Some ceramic dielectrics such as Z5U and Y5V exhibit very large capacitance and ESR variation with temperature and are not recommended. With X7R or X5R dielectrics, 15F should be sufficient for operation over their rated temperature range. For higherESR tantalum capacitors (up to 1), use 22F or more to maintain stability. To improve power-supply rejection and transient response use a minimum 0.1F capacitor between IN_LDO and SGND. Power Dissipation The MAX15014-MAX15017 are available in a thermally enhanced package and can dissipate up to 2.86W at T A = +70C. When the die temperature reaches +160C, the part shuts down and is allowed to cool. After the die cools by 20C, the device restarts with a soft-start. The power dissipated in the device is the sum of the power dissipated in the LDO, power dissipated from supply current (PQ), transition losses due to switching the internal power MOSFET (PSW), and the Dual Mode is a trademark of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 21 MAX15014-MAX15017 The error amplifier gain between fP2 and fP3 is approximately equal to R5 / (R6 || R3).
