The MAX15157B belongs to the family of MAX151574-switch, buck–boost controllers. MAX15157B drives two external MOSFETs in half-bridge buck configuration. The output voltage can be dynamically set through the 1V to 2.2V reference input (REFIN) for modular design support. The switching frequency is controlled either through an external resistor that sets the internal oscillator frequency, or by synchronizing the regulator to an external clock. The device is designed to support 120kHz to 1MHz switching frequencies. The controller has a dedicated undervoltage-lockout pin (UVLO) and an accurate enable input threshold for flexible power-sequence configuration. The controller also has multiple fault-protection circuits to protect against overcurrent (OCP), output overvoltage (OVP), input UVLO and thermal shutdown. The MAX15157B features an adjustable internal compensation ramp. The device incorporates an accurate current-sense amplifier that reports output current through an analog output (IMON). The device allows single-phase or multiphase (up to four-phase) operation. The device is footprint compatible with MAX15157 and is available in a 5mm x 5mm, 32-pin TQFN package and supports a -40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
