The MxL76125 device is a synchronous step-down regulator combining the controller, driver, bootstrap diode, and MOSFETs in a single package for point-of-load supplies. The MxL76125 device is rated for 15A load. A wide input voltage range from 5V to 22V allows for single supply operation from industry standard 5V, 12V, and 20V rails.
With a proprietary emulated current mode constant on-time (COT) control scheme, the MxL76125 device provides extremely fast line and load transient response using ceramic output capacitors. The controller does not require any external loop compensation, which simplifies the circuit implementation and reduces the overall component count. It also provides 0.1% load and 0.1% line regulation, and maintains constant switching frequency. A selectable power saving mode enables operation in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads, thereby significantly increasing the converter efficiency.
The MxL76125 has a 2-bit VID, meeting the core rail requirements of MaxLinear’s MxL317xx Wi-Fi 7 SoCs. The VID allows the Wi-Fi 7 SoC to optimize performance while minimizing power consumption in both active and idle states by dynamically changing the output voltage of the MxL76125.
A host of protection features, including overcurrent, over temperature, overvoltage, short-circuit, and UVLO, helps achieve safe operation under abnormal operating conditions.
The MxL76125 device is available in a RoHS compliant, green/halogen-free space-saving 4mm x 5mm QFN package.
