XR76208-Q AEC-Q101 Qualified 40 V, 8 A Synchronous Switching Regulator

MaxLinear’s compact 5 mm x 5 mm QFN with wettable flanks meets automotive optical inspection standards

Image of Exar’s XR76208-Q AEC-Q101 Qualified 40 V, 8 A Synchronous Switching RegulatorMaxLinear's XR76208-Q is a synchronous step-down regulator combining the controller, drivers, bootstrap diode, and MOSFETs in a single package for point-of-load supplies well suited for automotive applications. Qualified per AEC-Q100, the XR76208-Q has a load current rating of 8 A. A wide 5.5 V to 40 V input voltage range allows for single-supply operation from industry standard 24 V ±10%, 18 V to 36 V, and rectified 18 VAC and 24 VAC rails, and 12 V battery systems requiring inherent load dump protection.

With a proprietary emulated current mode constant on-time (COT) control scheme, the XR76208-Q provides extremely fast line and load transient response using ceramic output capacitors. It requires no loop compensation, simplifying circuit implementation and reducing overall component count. The control loop also provides 0.07% load and 0.15% line regulation and maintains constant operating frequency. A selectable power saving mode allows the user to operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light current loads thereby significantly increasing the converter efficiency.
