10A, 1.5MHz, 2.7V to 16V Integrated Step-Down Switching Regulator

The MAX16710 is a fully integrated, highly efficient, step-down DC-DC switching regulator. The regulator is able to operate from 2.7V to 16V input supplies, and the output can be adjusted from 0.5V to 5.8V, delivering up to 10A of load current.

The MAX16710 utilizes fixed-frequency, current-mode control with internal compensation. The IC features an advanced modulation scheme (AMS) and selectable discontinuous current mode (DCM) operation to provide improved performance. Operation settings and configurable features can be selected by three programming pins PGM0, PGM1, and PGM2.

The IC has an internal 1.8V linear regulator (LDO) output to power the gate drives (VCC) and internal circuitry (AVDD).

The IC has multiple protections including positive and negative overcurrent protection, output overvoltage protection, and overtemperature protection to ensure a robust design.

The device is available in a compact 2.52mm x 2.93mm wafer-level package (WLP). It supports -40°C to +125°C junction temperature operation.
