MAX16975
28V, 1.2A Automotive Step-Down Converter
with Low Operating Current
General Description
The MAX16975 is a 1.2A current-mode step-down con-
verter with an integrated high-side switch. The device
operates with input voltages from 3.5V to 28V while using
only 45FA quiescent current at no load. The switching
frequency is adjustable from 220kHz to 1.0MHz by using
an external resistor, and can be synchronized to an exter-
nal clock. The device’s output voltage is pin-selectable to
a fixed 5V or adjustable from 1V to 10V using external
resistors. The wide input voltage range makes the device
ideal for automotive and industrial applications.
The device operates in skip mode for reduced current
consumption in light-load conditions. An adjustable
reset threshold helps keep microcontrollers alive down
to the lowest specified input voltage. Protection features
include cycle-by-cycle current limit, soft-start, overvolt-
age, and thermal shutdown with automatic recovery.
The device also features a power-good monitor to ease
power-supply sequencing.
The device operates over the -40°C to +125°C automo-
tive temperature range, and is available in 16-pin QSOP
and QSOP-EP packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion 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.
