MAX15046 synchronous buck regulator
The MAX15046 from Maxim Semiconductor is a synchronous buck regulator that operates over a wide range input voltage from 4.5V to 40V . The Max15046 can provide an adjustable output voltage from 85% of the input voltage down to 0.6V, supporting loads up to 25A.
The switching frequency can be adjusted from 100kHz to 1MHz with an external resistor. The MAX15046 ’s adaptive synchronous rectification eliminates the need for an external freewheeling Schottky diode.
As a current-sense element the MAX15046 utilizes external low-side MOSFET’s on-resistance, eliminating the need for a current-sense resistor.
This synchronous buck regulator circuit project can be useful in applications like : industrial Power Supplies , Telecom Power Supplies and other power circuits .
