Description

The MAX20047 is an automotive-grade, low-cost, small-footprint dual-port charger IC designed for automotive charging applications. It combines a fully synchronous 6A step-down buck converter with integrated high-side and low-side FETs capable of operating with input voltages from 3.5V to 36V and delivering 5.2V output voltage. The IC features integrated iPod®/iPhone®1.0A and iPad® 2.1A dedicated charging modes.The IC delivers up to 3A of charging current with 93% efficiency per port through integrated switches with programmable current limit and thermal foldback control. The buck converter switching frequency is programmable from 0.4MHz to 2.2MHz. Short-to-ground protection and overcurrent protection are also provided on the protected HVBUS outputs to protect the internal BUS power rail from an overcurrent fault. The MAX20047 offers short-to-battery up to +18V and can also be ordered with spread-spectrum operation to reduce EMI. iPod, iPhone, and iPad are registered trademarks of Apple Inc..
