MAX15303
6A Digital PoL DC-DC Converter with
InTune Automatic Compensation
General Description
The MAX15303 is a full-featured, flexible, efficient, 6A
digital point-of-load (PoL) controller with integrat-
ed switching MOSFETs. It contains advanced power-
management and telemetry features. Unlike PID-based
digital power regulators, the device uses Maxim’s
patented InTune™ automatically compensated, state-
space control algorithm. The InTune control law is valid for
both the small- and large-signal response and accounts
for duty-cycle saturation effects. These capabilities
result in fast loop transient response and reduce the
number of output capacitors compared to competing digital
controllers.
To help maximize system efficiency and reduce over-
all parts count, the device uses Maxim’s BabyBuck
regulator. The BabyBuck eliminates the need for an
external bias supply. The BabyBuck can be configured in
two different modes to maximize system flexibility.
The device is designed to minimize the end customer’s
design time. Automatic compensation eliminates the
need for external compensation circuitry and allows
changes to the output inductor and capacitor, without the
need to manually redesign the compensation circuitry.
An on-board PMBus™-compliant serial bus interface
enables communication with a supervisory controller for
monitoring and fault management. A full suite of power-
management features eliminates the need for compli-
cated and expensive sequencing and monitoring ICs.
Basic DC-DC conversion operation can be set up through
pin strapping and does not require user-configuration
firmware. This allows for rapid development of the power-
supply subsystem before board-level systems engineer-
ing is completed. Maxim provides support hardware and
software for configuring the device.
The MAX15303 is available in a 40-pin, 6mm x 6mm TQFN
package with an exposed pad and operates over the -40°C
to +85°C temperature range.
