and associated circuitry at crossover frequency is:
The gain of the error amplifier (GAIN

The total loop gain as the product of the modulator gain
and the error amplifier gain at f

maintains -20dB/decade slope up to 1/2 of the switching
frequency. This is likely to occur if the output capacitor
is low-ESR tantalum. Set f
When using a ceramic capacitor, the capacitor ESR

margin at the crossover frequency. For example, set f

6) Calculate R
The MAX15046 step-down controller drives two exter-
nal logic-level n-channel MOSFETs. The key selection
parameters to choose these MOSFETs include:
U On-resistance (R
U Maximum Drain-to-Source Voltage (V
U Minimum Threshold Voltage (V
U Total Gate Charge (Q
U Reverse Transfer Capacitance (C
U Power Dissipation
The two n-channel MOSFETs must be a logic-level
type with guaranteed on-resistance specifications at
V
side MOSFET that has conduction losses equal to the
switching losses at the typical input voltage. Ensure that
the conduction losses at minimum input voltage do not
exceed the MOSFET package thermal limits, or violate
the overall thermal budget. Also ensure that the conduc-
tion losses plus switching losses at the maximum input
voltage do not exceed package ratings or violate the
