6A, 2MHz Step-Down Regulator
with Integrated Switches
MAX15039
General Description
Features
♦ Internal 26mΩ R
High-Side and 20mΩ
The MAX15039 high-efficiency switching regulator
delivers up to 6A load current at output voltages from
DS(ON)
R
Low-Side MOSFETs
DS(ON)
♦ Continuous 6A Output Current Over Temperature
♦ ±±1 Output Aꢀꢀuraꢀc Over Loadꢁ Lineꢁ and
Temperature
0.6V to 90% of V . The IC operates from 2.9V to 5.5V,
IN
making it ideal for on-board point-of-load and postregu-
lation applications. Total output error is less than 1%
over load, line, and temperature ranges.
♦ Operates from 2.9V to 5.5V V Supplc
IN
♦ Adjustable Output from 0.6V to (0.9 x V )
IN
The MAX15039 features fixed-frequency PWM mode
operation with a switching frequency range of 500kHz
to 2MHz set by an external resistor. The MAX15039
provides the option of operating in a skip mode to
improve light-load efficiency. High-frequency operation
allows for an all-ceramic capacitor design. The high
operating frequency also allows for small-size external
components.
♦ Soft-Start Reduꢀes Inrush Supplc Current
♦ 500kHz to 2MHz Adjustable Switꢀhing Frequenꢀc
♦ Compatible with Ceramiꢀꢁ Polcmerꢁ and
Eleꢀtrolctiꢀ Output Capaꢀitors
♦ Nine Preset and Adjustable Output Voltages
0.6Vꢁ 0.7Vꢁ 0.8Vꢁ ±.0Vꢁ ±.2Vꢁ ±.5Vꢁ ±.8Vꢁ 2.0Vꢁ
2.5Vꢁ and Adjustable
♦ Monotoniꢀ Startup for Safe-Start Into Prebiased
The low-resistance on-chip nMOS switches ensure high
efficiency at heavy loads while minimizing critical induc-
tances, making the layout a much simpler task with
respect to discrete solutions. Following a simple layout
and footprint ensures first-pass success in new designs.
Outputs
♦ Seleꢀtable Forꢀed PWM or Skip Mode for Light
Load Effiꢀienꢀc
♦ Overꢀurrent and Overtemperature Proteꢀtion
♦ Output Current Sink/Sourꢀe Capable with Ccꢀle-
bc-Ccꢀle Proteꢀtion
♦ Open-Drainꢁ Power-Good Output
♦ Lead-Freeꢁ 4mm x 4mmꢁ 24-Pin Thin QFN Paꢀkage
The MAX15039 comes with a high bandwidth (28MHz)
voltage-error amplifier. The voltage-mode control archi-
tecture and the voltage-error amplifier permit a type III
compensation scheme to be utilized to achieve maxi-
mum loop bandwidth, up to 20% of the switching fre-
quency. High loop bandwidth provides fast transient
response, resulting in less required output capacitance
and allowing for all-ceramic-capacitor designs.

The MAX15039 provides two three-state logic inputs to
select one of nine preset output voltages. The preset
output voltages allow customers to achieve 1% out-
put-voltage accuracy without using expensive 0.1%
resistors. In addition, the output voltage can be set to
any customer value by either using two external resis-
tors at the feedback with a 0.6V internal reference or
applying an external reference voltage to the REFIN
input. The MAX15039 offers programmable soft-start
time using one capacitor to reduce input inrush current.

Note 1: LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and IN. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed
the IC’s package power dissipation limits.
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.

Detailed Description
The MAX15039 high-efficiency, voltage-mode switching
regulator delivers up to 6A of output current. The
MAX15039 provides output voltages from 0.6V to 0.9 x
The MAX15039 employs voltage-mode control architec-
ture with a high bandwidth (28MHz) error amplifier. The
voltage-mode control architecture allows up to 2MHz
switching frequency, reducing board area. The op amp
voltage-error amplifier works with type III compensation
to fully utilize the bandwidth of the high-frequency
switching to obtain fast transient response. Adjustable
soft-start time provides flexibilities to minimize input
startup inrush current. An open-drain, power-good
V
from 2.9V to 5.5V input supplies, making it ideal for
IN
on-board point-of-load applications. The output-voltage
accuracy is better than 1% over load, line, and tem-
perature.
The MAX15039 features a wide switching frequency
range, allowing the user to achieve all-ceramic-capaci-
tor designs and fast transient responses (see Figure 1).
The high operating frequency minimizes the size of
external components. The MAX15039 is available in a
small (4mm x 4mm), lead-free, 24-pin thin QFN pack-
age. The REFIN function makes the MAX15039 an ideal
candidate for DDR and tracking power supplies. Using
(PWRGD) output goes high when V reaches 92.5% of
FB
V
and V
is greater than 0.54V.

The MAX15039 provides an option for three modes of
operation: regular PWM, PWM mode with monotonic
startup into prebiased output, or skip mode with monot-
onic startup into prebiased output.

under different line, load, and temperature conditions.
Under normal operation, where the current-limit and
temperature protection are not triggered, the controller
logic block takes the output from the PWM comparator
and generates the driver signals for both high-side and
low-side MOSFETs. The break-before-make logic and
the timing for charging the bootstrap capacitors are
calculated by the controller logic block. The error signal
from the voltage-error amplifier is compared with the
ramp signal generated by the oscillator at the PWM
comparator and, thus, the required PWM signal is pro-
duced. The high-side switch is turned on at the begin-
ning of the oscillator cycle and turns off when the ramp

MAX15039 also features an external reference input
(REFIN). The IC regulates FB to the voltage applied to
REFIN. The internal soft-start is not available when
using an external reference. A method of soft-start
when using an external reference is shown in Figure 2.
Connect REFIN to SS to use the internal 0.6V reference.

Current Limit
The internal, high-side MOSFET has a typical 11A peak
current-limit threshold. When current flowing out of LX
exceeds this limit, the high-side MOSFET turns off and
the synchronous rectifier turns on. The synchronous
rectifier remains on until the inductor current falls below
the low-side current limit. This lowers the duty cycle
and causes the output voltage to droop until the current
limit is no longer exceeded. The MAX15039 uses a hic-
cup mode to prevent overheating during short-circuit
output conditions.

capacitor is stacked above LX to provide the necessary

500kHz to 2MHz. Set the switching frequency of the IC

MAX15039 enters hiccup mode. The high-side

and both COMP and REFIN are internally pulled low. If
REFIN and SS are connected together, both are pulled
low. The part remains in this state for 896 clock cycles
and then attempts to restart for 112 clock cycles. If the
fault causing current limit has cleared, the part resumes
normal operation. Otherwise, the part reenters hiccup
mode again.

is a factor of the inductor value, the output-voltage rip-

troller can respond, the output deviates further,
depending on the inductor and output capacitor val-
ues. After a short time, the controller responds by regu-
lating the output voltage back to its predetermined
value. The controller response time depends on the
closed-loop bandwidth. A higher bandwidth yields a
faster response time, preventing the output from deviat-
ing further from its regulating value. See the Compen-
sation Design section for more details.
Output-Capacitor Selection
The key selection parameters for the output capacitor are
capacitance, ESR, ESL, and voltage-rating requirements.
These affect the overall stability, output ripple voltage,
and transient response of the DC-DC converter. The out-
put ripple occurs due to variations in the charge stored
in the output capacitor, the voltage drop due to the
capacitor’s ESR, and the voltage drop due to the
capacitor’s ESL. Estimate the output-voltage ripple due
to the output capacitance, ESR, and ESL:
Input-Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces the current peaks drawn
from the input power supply and reduces switching
noise in the IC. The total input capacitance must be
equal or greater than the value given by the following
equation to keep the input-ripple voltage within specifi-
cation and minimize the high-frequency ripple current
being fed back to the input source:

The above equations are based on the assumptions
that C1 >> C2 and R3 >> R2 are true in most applica-
tions. Placements of these poles and zeros are deter-
mined by the frequencies of the double pole and ESR
zero of the power transfer function. It is also a function
of the desired close-loop bandwidth. The following sec-
tion outlines the step-by-step design procedure to cal-
culate the required compensation components for the
MAX15039. When the output voltage of the MAX15039
is programmed to a preset voltage, R3 is internal to the
IC and R4 does not exist (Figure 3b).
Compensation Design
The power transfer function consists of one double pole
and one zero. The double pole is introduced by the
inductor L and the output capacitor CO. The ESR of the
output capacitor determines the zero. The double pole

that of the ESR of a single output capacitor divided by the

ed by the output filtering inductor and capacitor. The dou-
ble pole produces a gain drop of 40dB/decade and a
phase shift of 180°. The compensation network error
amplifier must compensate for this gain drop and phase
shift to achieve a stable high-bandwidth closed-loop sys-
tem. Therefore, use type III compensation as shown in

The above equations provide application compensation
when the zero-cross frequency is significantly higher than
the double-pole frequency. When the zero-cross frequen-
cy is near the double-pole frequency, the actual zero-
cross frequency is higher than the calculated frequency.
In this case, lowering the value of R1 reduces the zero-
cross frequency. Also, set the third pole of the type III
compensation close to the switching frequency if the
zero-cross frequency is above 200kHz to boost the phase
margin. The recommended range for R3 is 2kΩ to 10kΩ.
Note that the loop compensation remains unchanged if
only R4’s resistance is altered to set different outputs.

FIRST AND SECOND ZEROS
Forced-PWM Mode
Connect MODE to GND to select forced-PWM mode. In
forced-PWM mode, the MAX15039 operates at a con-
stant switching frequency (set by the resistor at FREQ
terminal) with no pulse skipping. PWM operation starts
after a brief settling time when EN goes high. The low-
side switch turns on first, charging the bootstrap
capacitor to provide the gate-drive voltage for the high-
side switch. The low-side switch turns off either at the
end of the clock period or once the low-side switch
sinks 1.35A current (typ), whichever occurs first. If the
low-side switch is turned off before the end of the clock
period, the high-side switch is turned on for the remain-
ing part of the time interval until the inductor current
reaches 0.9A, or the end of clock cycle is encountered.

Soft-Starting Into a Prebiased Output
Mode (Monotonic Startup)
When MODE is left unconnected or biased to V /2, the
DD
MAX15039 soft-starts into a prebiased output without dis-
charging the output capacitor. This type of operation is
also termed monotonic startup. See the Starting Into
Prebiased Output waveforms in the Typical Operating
Characteristics section for an example.
In monotonic startup mode, both low-side and high-
side switches remain off to avoid discharging the prebi-
ased output. PWM operation starts when the FB voltage
crosses the SS voltage. As in forced-PWM mode, the
PWM activity starts with the low-side switch turning on
first to build the bootstrap capacitor charge.
Starting from the first PWM activity, the sink current
threshold is increased through an internal 4-step DAC
to reach the current limit of 11A after 128 clock periods.
This is done to help a smooth recovery of the regulated
voltage even in case of accidental prebiased output in
spite of the initial forced-PWM mode selection.

The MAX15039 is also able to start into prebiased with
achieved 4096 clock cycles after the voltage at FB
increases above 92.5% of V
the output above the nominal set point without abruptly
discharging the output, thanks to the sink current con-
trol of the low-side switch through a 4-step DAC in 128
clock cycles. Monotonic startup mode automatically
switches to forced-PWM mode 4096 clock cycles delay
after the voltage at FB increases above 92.5% of

REFIN
Changing from skip mode to forced-PWM mode and
vice-versa can be done at any time. The output capaci-
tor should be large enough to limit the output-voltage
overshoot/undershoot due to the settling times to reach
different duty-cycle set points corresponding to forced-
PWM mode and skip mode at light loads.

. The additional delay prevents an early transi-
REFIN
tion from monotonic startup to forced-PWM mode dur-
ing soft-start when a prolonged time constant external
REFIN voltage is applied.
PCB Layout Considerations and
Thermal Performance
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve clean and sta-
ble operation. It is highly recommended to duplicate the
MAX15039 EV kit layout for optimum performance. If devi-
ation is necessary, follow these guidelines for good PCB
layout:
The maximum allowed soft-start time is 2ms when an
external reference is applied at REFIN in the case of
starting up into prebiased output.
Skip Mode

mode, the MAX15039 switches only as necessary to
maintain the output at light loads (not capable of sinking
current from the output), but still operates with fixed-fre-
quency (set by the resistor at FREQ terminal) PWM at
medium and heavy loads. This maximizes light-load effi-
ciency and reduces the input quiescent current.
2) Place capacitors on V , IN, and SS as close as pos-
DD
sible to the IC and its corresponding pin using direct
traces. Keep power ground plane (connected to
PGND) and signal ground plane (connected to GND)
separate.
In case of prolonged high-side idle activity (beyond
eight clock cycles), the low-side switch is turned on
briefly to rebuild the charge lost in the bootstrap capac-
itor before the next on-cycle of the high-side switch.
3) Keep the high-current paths as short and wide as
possible. Keep the path of switching current short
and minimize the loop area formed by LX, the out-
put capacitors, and the input capacitors.
In skip mode, the low-side switch is turned off when the
inductor current decreases to 0.2A (typ) to ensure no
reverse current flowing from the output capacitor and
the best conversion efficiency/minimum supply current.
4) Connect IN, LX, and PGND separately to a large
copper area to help cool the IC to further improve
efficiency and long-term reliability.
The high-side switch minimum on-time is controlled to
guarantee that 0.9A current is reached to avoid high
frequency bursts at no load conditions and that might
cause a rapid increase of the supply current caused by
additional switching losses.
5) Ensure all feedback connections are short and
direct. Place the feedback resistors and compensa-
tion components as close as possible to the IC.
6) Route high-speed switching nodes, such as LX,
away from sensitive analog areas (FB, COMP).
Even if skip mode is selected at the device turn-on, the
monotonic startup mode is internally selected during
soft-start. The transition to skip mode is automatically
