Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX16984A Automotive Step-Down Converters

Analog Devices Inc. MAX16984A Automotive High-Current Step-Down Converters consolidate a 5V automotive-grade step-down converter capable of driving up to 3.0A, a USB host charger adapter emulator, and USB protection switches for automotive USB host applications. The USB protection switches provide high-ESD, short-circuit protection and feature integrated host-charger port-detection circuitry.

ADI MAX16984A Step-Down Converters operate from a voltage up to 28V and is protected from load dump transients up to 40V. The MAX16984A is optimized for high-frequency operation and includes resistor-programmable frequency selection from 310kHz to 2.2MHz. These features allow the optimization of efficiency, noise, and board space based on application requirements.

Additionally, the MAX16984A Automotive Converters includes a USB load current-sense amplifier and configurable feedback adjustment circuit designed to provide automatic USB voltage adjustment to compensate for voltage drops in captive cables associated with automotive applications.
