MAX15039
The MAX15039 high-efficiency switching regulator
delivers up to 6A load current at output voltages from
0.6V to 90% of V
IN
. The IC operates from 2.9V to 5.5V,
making it ideal for on-board point-of-load and postregu-
lation applications. Total output error is less than ±1%
over load, line, and temperature ranges.
The MAX15039 features fixed-frequency PWM mode
operation with a switching frequency range of 500kHz
to 2MHz set by an external resistor. The MAX15039
provides the option of operating in a skip mode to
improve light-load efficiency. High-frequency operation
allows for an all-ceramic capacitor design. The high
operating frequency also allows for small-size external
components.
The low-resistance on-chip nMOS switches ensure high
efficiency at heavy loads while minimizing critical induc-
tances, making the layout a much simpler task with
respect to discrete solutions. Following a simple layout
and footprint ensures first-pass success in new designs.
The MAX15039 comes with a high bandwidth (28MHz)
voltage-error amplifier. The voltage-mode control archi-
tecture and the voltage-error amplifier permit a type III
compensation scheme to be utilized to achieve maxi-
mum loop bandwidth, up to 20% of the switching fre-
quency. High loop bandwidth provides fast transient
response, resulting in less required output capacitance
and allowing for all-ceramic-capacitor designs.
The MAX15039 provides two three-state logic inputs to
select one of nine preset output voltages. The preset
output voltages allow customers to achieve
±1%
out-
put-voltage accuracy without using expensive 0.1%
resistors. In addition, the output voltage can be set to
any customer value by either using two external resis-
tors at the feedback with a 0.6V internal reference or
applying an external reference voltage to the REFIN
input. The MAX15039 offers programmable soft-start
time using one capacitor to reduce input inrush current.

Note 1:
LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and IN. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed
the IC’s package power dissipation limits.
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.
