High-Efficiency, 10-Pin µMAX, Step-Down
Controllers for Notebooks
General Description
The MAX1762/MAX1791 PWM step-down controllers
provide high efficiency, excellent transient response,
and high DC output accuracy needed for stepping
down high-voltage batteries to generate low-voltage
CPU core, I/O, and chipset RAM supplies in notebook
computers and PDAs.
Maxim’s proprietary Quick-PWM™ pulse-width modula-
tor is a free-running constant on-time type with input
feed-forward. Its high operating frequency (300kHz)
allows small external components to be utilized in PC
board area-critical applications such as subnotebook
computers and smart phones. PWM operation occurs
at heavy loads, and automatic switchover to pulse-skip-
ping operation occurs at lighter loads. The external
high-side p-channel and low-side n-channel MOSFETs
require no bootstrap components. The MAX1762/
MAX1791 are simple, easy to compensate, and do not
have the noise sensitivity of conventional fixed-frequen-
cy current-mode PWMs.
These devices achieve high efficiency at a reduced
cost by eliminating the current-sense resistor found in
traditional current-mode PWMs. Efficiency is further
enhanced by their ability to drive synchronous-rectifier
MOSFETs. The MAX1762/MAX1791 come in a 10-pin
µMAX package and offer two fixed voltages (Dual
Mode™) for each device, 1.8V/2.5V/adj (MAX1762) and
3.3V/5.0V/adj (MAX1791).
