Low-Cost, Small, 4.5V to 28V Wide Operating
Range, DC-DC Synchronous Buck Controller
General Description
The MAX15026 synchronous step-down controller oper-
ates from a 4.5V to 28V input voltage range and gener-
ates an adjustable output voltage from 85% of the input
voltage down to 0.6V while supporting loads up to 25A.
The device allows monotonic startup into a prebiased
bus without discharging the output and features adap-
tive internal digital soft-start.
The MAX15026 offers the ability to adjust the switching
frequency from 200kHz to 2MHz with an external resis-
tor. The MAX15026’s adaptive synchronous rectification
eliminates the need for an external freewheeling
Schottky diode. The device also utilizes the external
low-side MOSFET’s on-resistance as a current-sense
element, eliminating the need for a current-sense resis-
tor. This protects the DC-DC components from damage
during output overloaded conditions or output short-
circuit faults without requiring a current-sense resistor.
Hiccup-mode current limit reduces power dissipation
during short-circuit conditions. The MAX15026 includes
a power-good output and an enable input with precise
turn-on/turn-off threshold, which can be used for input
supply monitoring and for power sequencing.
Additional protection features include sink-mode cur-
rent limit and thermal shutdown.
Sink-mode current limit prevents reverse inductor cur-
rent from reaching dangerous levels when the device is
sinking current from the output.
The MAX15026 is available in a space-saving and ther-
mally enhanced 3mm x 3mm, 14-pin TDFN-EP pack-
age. The MAX15026 operates over the extended -40°C
to +85°C and automotive -40°C to +125°C temperature
ranges.
The MAX15026C is designed to provide additional mar-
gin for break-before-make times.

Note 1:
Dissipation wattage values are based on still air with no heatsink. Actual maximum power dissipation is a function of heat
extraction technique and may be substantially higher. Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method
described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-layer board. For detailed information on package thermal consid-
erations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
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.
