MaxLinear MxL7650x 18V Synchronous Step-Down Converters are fully integrated, high-efficiency converters that require a minimum number of external components. These converters offer a compact solution with up to 2A, 3A, and 8A continuous output current over a wide input range. The MxL7650x converters operate at a 0.6V to 18V output voltage range with 700KHz and 720KHz switching frequency range. These converters are stable in operation with low ESR ceramic output capacitors. The MxL7650x converters use a proprietary Constant-on-Time (COT) control scheme that provides a superior transient response and maintains a constant switching frequency during CCM operation. Typical applications include laptops, tablet PCs, networking systems, personal video recorders, flat panel TVs and monitors, and distributed power systems.
