MaxLinear XR75100 40V Synchronous Step-Down COT Controller

MaxLinear XR75100 40V Synchronous Step-Down COT (Constant On-Time) Controller is optimized for point-of load supplies up to 20A. A wide 5V to 40V input voltage range allows for single supply operation from industry standard 12V, 18V, and 24V DC and AC rails. With a proprietary emulated current mode COT control scheme, the XR75100 provides extremely fast line and load transient response using ceramic output capacitors. It requires no loop compensation hence simplifying circuit implementation and reducing overall component count. The control loop also provides exceptional line regulation and maintains constant operating frequency. A selectable power saving mode, allows the user to operate in Discontinuous Mode (DCM) at light current loads thereby significantly increasing the converter efficiency.
