Key Featrues

High Switching Frequency (2.5MHz): The MAX16992 operates at a 2.5MHz switching frequency, which minimizes radio interference by operating above the AM radio band. This feature is particularly beneficial in automotive applications where EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) management is critical, ensuring reliable performance without disrupting communication systems.
Wide Input Voltage Range (4.5V to 36V): With an input voltage range of 4.5V to 36V, the device is well-suited for automotive environments, where voltage fluctuations are common. This versatility allows it to handle both low and high input voltages, making it ideal for applications like front-end preboost or SEPIC power supplies.
Internal Low-Dropout Regulator (PVL Regulator): The integrated 5V PVL regulator enables the device to operate directly from an automotive battery input, reducing the need for external components. This simplifies design, improves efficiency, and ensures stable operation even in challenging automotive conditions.
Current-Mode PWM Control: The current-mode PWM control ensures precise regulation of the output voltage, enhancing stability and transient response. This feature is particularly useful in high-power LED lighting applications, where consistent performance and efficiency are crucial.
Robust Protection Features: The device includes multiple protection mechanisms such as overtemperature shutdown, PGOOD output, and hiccup mode. These features enhance system reliability and safety in harsh automotive environments, ensuring the device can withstand extreme conditions and recover gracefully from faults.
