The MAX38801 series of power switch controllers provide precision measurement of the output voltage or current and provide advanced control algorithms to deliver optimal energy efficiency over a wide load range. The controller provides easy-to-use power monitoring and control functions PC via I²C or USB. It also provides an efficient AC/DC power solution for lighting, machine control, industrial automation, and other industrial applications.

The MAX38801 series employs an advanced topology to provide a low-cost, high-efficiency solution for advanced electronic control systems. It also enables the user to realize significant reduction in component count and board space requirements. The controller works in accordance with a Device Control Register (DCR) that allows the user to control different parameters such as switching frequency, maximum current level, voltage margining, and output voltage range. The design utilizes a look-up table (LUT) to generate an optimized switching frequency and a voltage error amplifier to ensure a tightly regulated voltage.

The advanced control algorithms support an adjustable minimum on-time and variable frequency limitation. The look-up table provides an efficient way of finding the optimal point to switch off at the required current level. This enables high efficiency and low ripple operation under light loads. The voltage error amplifier includes a high bandwidth amplifier to ensure a very fast transient response. Also included is a low on-time feature to enable higher efficiency operation at light loads.
