Dual 180° Out-of-Phase Buck Controllers with
Sequencing/Prebias Startup and POR
General Description
The MAX1858A/MAX1875A/MAX1876A dual, synchro-
nized, step-down controllers generate two outputs from
input supplies ranging from 4.5V to 23V. Each output is
adjustable from sub-1V to 18V and supports loads of 10A
or higher. Input voltage ripple and total RMS input ripple
current are reduced by synchronized 180° out-of-phase
operation.
The switching frequency is adjustable from 100kHz to
600kHz with an external resistor. Alternatively, the con-
troller can be synchronized to an external clock gener-
ated by another MAX1858A/MAX1875A/MAX1876A or a
system clock. One MAX1858A/MAX1875A/MAX1876A
can be set to generate an in-phase, or 90° out-of-
phase, clock signal for synchronization with additional
controllers. This allows two controllers to operate either
as an interleaved two- or four-phase system with each
output shifted by 90°. The MAX1858A/MAX1875A/
MAX1876A feature soft-start. The MAX1858A also fea-
tures first-on/last-off power sequencing and soft-stop.
The MAX1858A/MAX1875A/MAX1876A eliminate the
need for current-sense resistors by utilizing the low-side
MOSFET’s on-resistance as a current-sense element.
This protects the DC-DC components from damage dur-
ing output-overload conditions or output short-circuit
faults without requiring a current-sense resistor.
Adjustable foldback current limit reduces power dissipa-
tion during short-circuit conditions. The MAX1858A/
MAX1876A include a power-on reset (POR) output to sig-
nal the system when both outputs reach regulation.
The MAX1858A/MAX1875A/MAX1876A ensure that the
output voltage does not swing negative when the input
power is removed or when EN is driven low. The
MAX1875A/MAX1876A also allow prebias startup with-
out discharging the output.
The MAX1858A/MAX1875A/MAX1876A are available in a
24-pin QSOP package. Use the MAX1875 evaluation kit
or the MAX1858 evaluation kit to evaluate the
MAX1858A/MAX1875A/MAX1876A.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
