Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX25255 Synchronous Buck Converters

Analog Devices MAX25255 Synchronous Buck Converters are dual buck converters with integrated high-side and low-side switches. These ICs deliver up to 8A per channel with input voltages from 3V to 36V. The devices use only 12μA quiescent current at no load. Voltage quality is monitored by observing the PGOOD signals. The Analog Devices MAX25255 regulates the output voltage in the dropout region by running at 99% of the duty cycle.
