MAX1540AETJ+T Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction

The MAX1540AETJ+T is a power-management integrated circuit (PMIC) providing a combined DC-to-DC switching regulator, linear regulator, and low dropout (LDO) regulator. The MAX1540AETJ+T is designed to provide an easy-to-use integrated solution for a wide range of power-management applications. The MAX1540AETJ+T is an integrated solution providing a combined DC/DC switching regulator, linear regulator, and low-dropout regulator.

DC/DC Switching Controller

The MAX1540AETJ+T features a DC/DC switching controller, which is a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) regulation solution ideally suited for powering high-current loads with a regulated voltage output. This device can be used to generate a regulated output voltage from an unregulated input voltage (2.5V to 6.0V). The switching frequency is user-programmable over a wide range (from 1kHz to 1MHz). This allows for small, low-cost inductors and capacitors to be used for the voltage-conversion circuit, providing an extremely cost-effective solution for most voltage-conversion applications.

The DC/DC switching controller supports a variety of topologies, including step-up, step-down, and inverting buck-boost modes. The controller also has active-current-sensing circuitry that is programmable to control the output current limit. This current-limit control feature allows the MAX1540AETJ+T to be used as a current-limited power source, which is useful in fault-tolerant applications where resistance to catastrophic failure is key.

Linear Regulator

The MAX1540AETJ+T features a linear regulator output that is capable of delivering up to 0.6A of output current. This regulator output can be used to power low-power logic circuits and other circuitry that requires a precise voltage level, such as reference voltage sources for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).

The linear regulator includes a low-quiescent-current shutdown feature that allows for further power savings when the device is inactive. This shutdown feature disables the internal circuit and reduces the device’s quiescent current to less than 10µA, saving power when the device is not in use.

Low Dropout Regulator

The MAX1540AETJ+T also features a low dropout (LDO) regulator output, which is capable of delivering up to 0.6A of output current. This output has a programmable voltage range of 1.2V to 5.5V, making it suitable for powering a wide range of logic and other circuits that require a precise voltage level.

The low-dropout output utilizes a proprietary low-quiescent-current design that improves the efficiency of the device when operating at lower input voltages. This feature makes the device ideal for battery-powered applications where power savings can result in extended battery life.

Protection Features

The MAX1540AETJ+T also includes a variety of protection features that help to protect the device and the application from damage caused by an overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and thermal conditions. These protection features will shut down the device when these conditions occur to prevent further damage.

Conclusion

The MAX1540AETJ+T is an integrated power-management device providing a combination of low-dropout, linear, and DC/DC switching regulators. This device is ideally suited for a wide range of power-management applications such as battery-powered products, mobile devices, and portable equipment, providing a cost-effective solution while providing a wide range of protection features.
