Press Release Summary:
Integrating 4 independent voltage outputs in small, 36 mm² TQFN package, MAX17019 high-input-voltage controller is capable of operating up to 38 V. It includes main-stage step-down controller, 3AP-P step-down regulator, 5AP-P step-down regulator, and one 2 A source/sink linear regulator. Suited for automotive battery-powered devices, unit is fully specified over -40 to +125°C automotive temperature range.
Original Press Release:
Automotive-Grade, Quad-Output Controller Operates from up to 38V
o The MAX17019 is a high-input-voltage, quad-output controller for automotive applications.
o This device saves space and cost by integrating four output-voltage regulators in a small, 6mm x 6mm, 48-pin TQFN package.
o The step-down regulators use a peak-current-mode, fixed-frequency control scheme to ease implementation without sacrificing transient response.
o Capable of operating up to 38V, the MAX17019 is ideal for automotive battery-powered devices.
SUNNYVALE, CA-January 5, 2009-Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the MAX17019, a high-input-voltage, quad-output controller for automotive applications. This device saves space and cost by integrating four independent voltage outputs in a small, 36mm² TQFN package. The device includes a main-stage step-down controller, a 3AP-P step-down regulator, a 5AP-P step-down regulator, and a 2A source/sink linear regulator. Capable of operating up to 38V, the MAX17019 is ideal for automotive battery-powered devices.
The step-down converters use a peak-current-mode, fixed-frequency control scheme to provide an easy-to-implement architecture that does not sacrifice transient response. This architecture also supports peak-current-limit protection and pulse-skipping operation to maintain high efficiency under light-load conditions.
The MAX17019 is available in a space-saving, 6mm x 6mm, 48-pin TQFN package, and is fully specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range. Prices start at $5.50 (1000-up, FOB USA).
