MAX5950
The MAX5950 is a 12V pulse-width modulated (PWM),
step-down, DC-DC controller with integrated hot-swap
controller. The device operates over the 8V to 16V input-
voltage range or 5V ±10% and provides an adjustable
output from 0.8V to 5.5V. The device delivers up to 10A
of load current with excellent load-and-line regulation.
The MAX5950 is optimized for PCIe
®
ExpressModule™
power-management application.
The MAX5950 features a hot-swap controller that pro-
vides inrush current control during module insertion
and removal, as well as short-circuit protection during
normal operation. The MAX5950 features an internal
charge pump that provides the gate drive for an exter-
nal n-channel MOSFET. A DCENO logic output indi-
cates the completion of the inrush cycle.
The MAX5950 PWM section utilizes a voltage-mode con-
trol scheme for good noise immunity and offers external
compensation, allowing for maximum flexibility with a
wide selection of inductor values and capacitor types.
The device operates at a fixed switching frequency that
is programmable from 100kHz to 1MHz and can be syn-
chronized to an external clock signal through the
SYNCIN input. The device includes undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) and digital soft-start. Protection features include
lossless valley-mode current limit, hiccup-mode output
short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.
The MAX5950 is available in a space-saving 5mm x
5mm, 32-pin thin QFN package and is specified for
operation over the -40°C to +85°C extended tempera-
ture range. Refer to the MAX5951 data sheet for a pin-
compatible, general-purpose PWM controller.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
