Working Principles

The MAX16901GEE/V+T is a voltage regulator that converts an input voltage within the range of 4.5V to 60V into a regulated output voltage between 1.2V and 57V. It achieves high efficiency by utilizing a synchronous buck topology. The device operates at a switching frequency ranging from 100kHz to 2.2MHz.

The regulator features a feedback pin (FB) that monitors the output voltage and adjusts the duty cycle of the internal switches to maintain a stable output. Soft-start and tracking pins (SS/TR) provide controlled startup and shutdown sequences, preventing voltage spikes and ensuring smooth power transitions.
