It is capable of 2 MHz operation due to its 33 ns on-time to ensure it stays in 2 MHz operation even during input voltage transients to keep the solution size small and enable low EMI. The quiescent current is only 10 μA to preserve the battery life of always-on automotive systems.

Key features and benefits

  • Power savings: programmable current with closed-loop regulation saves > 50% of power
  • Flexibility in design: half bridges (channels) are completely independent
  • Space savings: Integrated Current Sensing (ICS) saves > 30% PCB space and simplifies the layout

Applications

  • Automotive
  • Industrial Automation
  • Communications
  • Healthcare

Evaluation board

  • The MAX20406 can be evaluated with the MAX20406EVKIT.
