Maxim MAX8655, MAX8655ETN+ Datasheet

General Description
The MAX8655 synchronous-PWM buck regulator oper­ates from a 4.5V to 25V input and generates an output voltage adjustable from 0.7V to 5.5V at loads up to 25A. Integrated power MOSFETs provide a small footprint, ease of layout, and reduced EMI. Removing the board trace inductances ensures the highest efficiency at high frequency.
The MAX8655 uses peak current-mode control architec­ture with an adjustable (200kHz to 1MHz), constant­switching frequency, which is externally synchronizable. The MAX8655’s adjustable current limit uses the induc­tor’s DC resistance to improve efficiency or an external sense resistor for higher accuracy. Foldback type cur­rent limit is available to reduce the power dissipation under severe-overload or short-circuit conditions. A ref­erence input is provided for use with a high-accuracy external reference or for DDR and tracking applications.
Monotonic startup provides safe starting into a prebi­ased output, where traditional step-down regulators discharge the output capacitor during soft-start, creat­ing a negative voltage at the output and possibly dam­aging the load.
A 180° out-of-phase synchronization output is available for synchronizing with another MAX8655.
An enable input is provided for on/off control and to facilitate output sequencing. Output-voltage sensing for programmable overvoltage protection is provided and is independent of the feedback network to further enhance the output overvoltage protection.
Overall, the MAX8655 provides enough flexibility for the experienced user, as well as simplicity and ease of use for non-power-supply engineers.

Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1–5, 51–56
PVIN
Power-Input Supply. PVIN connects to the drain of the internal high-side MOSFET. Connect input­decoupling capacitors as close as possible between PVIN and PGND.
6, 16–21 LX
External Inductor Connection. Connect to the external power inductor. Leave pin 6 unconnected for best routing.
7–15 PGND
Power Ground Connection from Source of Internal Low-Side MOSFET. Connect input-decoupling capacitors as close as possible between PVIN and PGND.
22 VLGND Return for Low-Side MOSFET Gate-Driver Current
23, 28, 39,
48
GND
Analog Ground. Connect all pins to the analog ground plane, and connect the analog and power ground planes together at the negative terminal of the output capacitor. Low-current signals return to GND. Pin 28 must be connected externally to GND-EP, the analog ground plane.
24 VL
Internal 6.5V Linear-Regulator Output. Connect a 2.2µF to 10µF ceramic capacitor from VL to VLGND. For V
IN
< 7V, connect VL directly to IN. VL supplies power for the internal gate drivers. VL is the input
to the AVL internal linear regulator.
25 IN
Input Supply Voltage. IN is the input to the VL linear regulator. Connect VL to IN for V
IN
< 7V.
Decouple to PGND with a 0.22µF ceramic capacitor.
26 EN
Enable. Apply logic-high to EN to enable the output, or logic-low to place the regulator in low-power shutdown mode. Connect EN to IN for always-on operation.
27 AVL
Internal 5V Linear-Regulator Output. AVL powers the MAX8655’s internal circuits. Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor from AVL to GND.
29, 30, 42, 49
N.C. No Connection. Not internally connected.
31 CS+ Positive Differential Current-Sense Input
32 CS- Negative Differential Current-Sense Input
33 ILIM1
Analog Programmable Current-Limit Input for Inductor Current. Connect a resistor from ILIM1 to GND to set the overcurrent threshold. ILIM1 sources 10µA through the resistor, and the voltage at ILIM1 is attenuated 7.5:1 to set the final current limit. For example, a 60kΩ resistor results in 600mV at ILIM1. This results in a current-limit threshold (V
CS+
- V
CS-
) of 80mV. The ILIM1 resistor range is 24kΩ to
60kΩ. Connect ILIM1 to AVL to set the default threshold of 80mV.
34 OVP
Output-Voltage Sensing for Overvoltage Protection. Connect OVP to the center of a resistor-divider connected between the output of the regulator and GND to set the FB independent output overvoltage trip point. Connect OVP to FB if this independence is not desired. The OVP threshold is
1.15 times the nominal feedback regulation voltage.
35 FB
Feedback Input. Connect FB to the center of a resistor voltage-divider connected between the output and GND to set the output voltage. FB regulates to 0.7V or V
REFIN
.
36 COMP
Loop Compensation. Connect COMP to an external RC network to compensate the loop. COMP is internally pulled to GND through 20Ω during shutdown.
37 SS
Soft-Start. Connect a 0.01µF to 1µF ceramic capacitor from SS to GND. This capacitor sets the soft­start period during startup. See the Startup and Soft-Start section for more details. SS is internally pulled to GND through 20Ω during shutdown.
38 REFIN
External Reference Input. Connect REFIN to AVL to use the internal 0.7V reference for the feedback threshold.
