MAX16051ETI+

Power management integrated circuits (PMIC) are critical components in electronic systems, providing electronic power supply controllers, monitors, and converters. As technology advances, PMICs continue to evolve to provide greater system innovation, efficiency and cost savings. The MAX16051ETI+, released by Maxim Integrated, is a lower cost, ultra-low dropout, zero delay voltage regulator with integrated cross-conduction prevention. The device provides high current, low-voltage regulation accuracy, and can be used for a variety of voltage regulation applications.

The MAX16051ETI+ is an advanced Voltage Regulator (VR) that provides a combination of precise, zero-delay control loop stability, ultra-low dropout, low quiescent current operation, low-noise output, and superior transient response.

The MAX16051ETI+ uses a voltage reference to compare an external voltage to a set target voltage. The device then adjusts the output voltage for the load accordingly by controlling the duty cycle and/or pulse width of the duty cycle control signal. The duty cycle control signal can be supplied by an external pulse width modulator (PWM) or can be generated internally. The MAX16051ETI+ provides both a voltage output and a current output.

The MAX16051ETI+ also provides a current limit that prevents the device from overloading or shorting out when high current load is momentarily applied. The device also provides an over-voltage protection to protect against voltage spikes and supports adjustable output voltage for variable current load.

The low quiescent current and low dropout voltage allow the MAX16051ETI+ to provide higher efficiency without compromising system performance. The higher efficiency helps reduce total system power consumption and minimize temperature rise. The MAX16051ETI+ also supports a wide operating temperature range, up to 105°C, so it can be used in automotive, industrial, and other extreme temperature environments.

The MAX16051ETI+ is easy to configure and to use. The device features an integrated user-programmable configurator that allows the user to quickly and easily set up the device for their application. The configurator allows the user to adjust the output voltage, current limit, and over-voltage protection limits. Additionally, the MAX16051ETI+ supports a two-line serial port that can be used to remotely control the configurator, or for system-level power-on/off operation.

In conclusion, the MAX16051ETI+ provides advanced voltage regulation performance for a variety of voltage regulation applications. The device offers high current, reliable performance, and excellent efficiency at an affordable price. The user-programmable configurator makes it easy to customize the device for specific needs, and the wide operating temperature range ensures the device can be used in even the most extreme environments.
