General Description
The MAX1761 dual pulse-width-modulation (PWM),
step-down controller provides high efficiency, excellent
transient response, and high DC output accuracy in an
extremely compact circuit topology. These features are
essential for stepping down high-voltage batteries to
generate low-voltage CPU core, I/O, and chipset RAM
supplies in PC board area critical applications, such as
notebook computers and smart phones.
Maxim’s proprietary Quick-PWM™ quick-response,
constant-on-time PWM control scheme handles wide
input/output voltage ratios with ease and provides
“instant-on” response to load transients while maintain-
ing a relatively constant switching frequency.
The MAX1761 achieves high efficiency at reduced cost
by eliminating the current-sense resistor found in tradi-
tional current-mode PWMs. Efficiency is further
enhanced by its ability to drive large synchronous-recti-
fier MOSFETs. The MAX1761 employs a complemen-
tary MOSFET output stage, which reduces component
count by eliminating external bootstrap capacitors and
diodes.
Single-stage buck conversion allows this device to
directly step down high-voltage batteries for the highest
possible efficiency. Alternatively, two-stage conversion
(stepping down the +5V system supply instead of the
battery) at a higher switching frequency allows the mini-
mum possible physical size.
The MAX1761 is intended for CPU core, chipset,
DRAM, or other low-voltage supplies. The MAX1761 is
available in a 16-pin QSOP package. For applications
requiring greater output power, refer to the MAX1715
data sheet. For a single-output version, refer to the
MAX1762/MAX1791 data sheet.
