MAX20846 Datasheet | Analog Devices

Description The MAX20846 is a feature -rich, smart power-stage IC designed to work with Analog Devices’ controllers to implement a high-density multiphase voltage regulator. Multiple smart power-stage ICs plus a controller provide a pact synchronous buck converter that includes accurate individual phase current and temperature reporting through PMBus™. These smart power-stage devices include fault-protection circuits for overtemperature, VX short, I/O open/short, supply undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and main power-supply overvoltage lockout (OVLO). The MAX20846 immediately shuts down on fault detection, municating the Fault_ID to the controller. Monolithic integration and advanced packaging technology allow high-switching frequencies with significantly lower losses than conventional implementations. Phase shedding and discontinuous conduction modes (DCM) optimize efficiency over a wide range of load currents. The MAX20846 integrates an internal LDO simplifying bias generation for...
