MAX15026CETD+TG1D

DC DC Switching Controllers Overview

The MAX15026CETD+TG1D is a synchronous step-down DC-DC controller from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates with an input voltage range of 4.5V to 28V and supports adjustable output voltages from 600mV to 28V. The device features a programmable switching frequency between 200kHz and 2MHz, enabling optimization for efficiency or size. It delivers up to 15A of output current and includes integrated high-side and low-side drivers. The component functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a compact 14-pin TDFN-EP (3mm x 3mm) package with an exposed pad for thermal management.

DC DC Switching Controllers Feature Summary

• Integrated high-side and low-side gate drivers eliminate the need for external MOSFETs in basic configurations.
• Programmable switching frequency allows designers to balance transient response against passive component size.
• Wide input voltage range accommodates various power supply sources including single-cell Li-ion batteries.

DC DC Switching Controllers Applications

• Point-of-load regulation for FPGA and ASIC core supplies
• Industrial control system power distribution
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

DC DC Switching Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TG1D' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure the supplier provides genuine parts with traceable date codes. Cross-reference the full part number against the latest datasheet revision to confirm pinout and electrical specifications match your design requirements.

DC DC Switching Controllers Selection Notes

Select this controller when a wide input voltage range up to 28V is required for buck applications. Consider the 14-TDFN package for space-constrained designs needing efficient heat dissipation via the exposed pad. Evaluate the 200kHz to 2MHz frequency range to determine if external filtering components meet your size constraints. Verify that the 15A current capability aligns with your load requirements and thermal design limits.

DC DC Switching Controllers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX15026B/C family of synchronous step-down controllers. The 'C' variant typically denotes specific electrical characteristics or temperature ranges compared to the 'B' version. These devices are designed for high-efficiency power conversion in portable and industrial electronics. The family shares common architecture but may differ in absolute maximum ratings or thermal performance.

DC DC Switching Controllers Replacement Considerations

Check for MAX15026BETD+T as a potential alternative within the same family. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter overlaps before substitution. Review updated datasheets for any functional differences between variants. Ensure the replacement meets all thermal and voltage requirements of the original design.
