Dual Step-Down Controllers Plus Linear-
Regulator Controller for Notebook Computers
General Description
The MAX1816/MAX1994 are dual step-down controllers
for notebook computer applications. BUCK1 is a CPU
core regulator with dynamically adjustable output, ultra-
fast transient response, high DC accuracy, and high effi-
ciency. BUCK2 is an adjustable step-down regulator for
I/O and memory supplies. Both regulators employ Maxim’s
proprietary Quick-PWM™ control architecture. This fast-
response, constant-on-time PWM control scheme handles
wide input/output voltage ratios with ease and provides
100ns “instant” on-response to load transients, while main-
taining a relatively constant switching frequency. The
MAX1816/MAX1994 also have a linear-regulator controller
for low-voltage auxiliary power supplies.
The CPU regulator supports “active voltage positioning”
to reduce output bulk capacitance and lower power dis-
sipation. A programmable gain amplifier allows the use
of lower value sense resistors. Four fixed-gain settings
are available (0, 1.5, 2, and 4). A differential remote-
sense amplifier is also included to more accurately con-
trol the voltage at the load. Accuracy is further
enhanced with an internal integrator.
The MAX1816/MAX1994 include a specialized digital
interface that makes them suitable for mobile CPU and
video processor applications. The power-good
(PGOOD) output for the core regulator is forced high
during VID transitions, and the LINGOOD output for the
linear regulator includes a 1ms (min) turn-on delay.
BUCK1, BUCK2, and the linear regulator feature overvolt-
age protection (OVP). The detection threshold for BUCK1
is adjusted with an external resistive voltage-divider, while
the OVP thresholds for BUCK2 and the linear regulator
are fixed. Connecting the OVPSET pin to V
CC
disables
OVP for BUCK1 and BUCK2, but not the linear regulator.
The MAX1816 features an output-voltage adjustment
range from 0.6V to 1.75V. Similarly, the MAX1994 is
adjustable from 0.925V to 2.0V, using an alternate VID
code set. While in suspend mode, the adjustment range
is 0.7V to 1.075V for both the MAX1816 and MAX1994.
Both parts are available in 48-pin thin QFN packages.
