MAX5039/MAX5040
The MAX5039/MAX5040 provide intelligent control to
power systems where two supply voltages need track-
ing. These cases include PowerPC
®
, DSP, and ASIC
systems, which require a lower CORE voltage supply
and a higher I/O voltage supply.
The MAX5039/MAX5040 control the output voltage of
the CORE and I/O supplies during power-up, power-
down, and brownout situations. They ensure that the
two power supplies rise or fall at the same rate, limiting
the voltage difference between the CORE and I/O sup-
plies. This eliminates stresses on the processor. The
MAX5039/MAX5040 shut down both the CORE and I/O
supplies if either one is shorted or otherwise fails to
come up.
The MAX5040 provides a power-OK (POK) signal that
signals the processor if the CORE supply, the I/O sup-
ply, and the system bus supply (V
CC
) are above their
respective specified levels. The MAX5039/MAX5040
are targeted for nominal bus V
CC
voltages from 4V to
5.5V. The MAX5039/MAX5040 work with CORE volt-
ages ranging from 800mV to about 3V (depending on
the gate-to-source turn-on threshold of the external N-
channel MOSFET) and I/O voltages ranging from
V
CORE
to 4V. The MAX5039/MAX5040 provide tracking
control of the I/O and CORE voltages using a single
external N-channel MOSFET connected across them.
This MOSFET is not in series with the power paths and
does not dissipate any additional power during normal
system operation. The external MOSFET is only on for
brief periods during power-up/power-down cycling so a
low-cost, small-size MOSFET with a rating of 1/4th to
1/8th of the normal supply current is suitable.
The MAX5039/MAX5040 are offered in space-saving
8-pin µMAX and 10-pin µMAX packages, respectively.

Note 1:
V
CC
slew-rate limited to 30V/µs.
Note 2:
SDO
automatically goes low when the UVLO pin drops below its threshold (or V
CC
drops below 2.5V).
SDO
remains low as
V
CC
falls. For some V
CC
below V
CCLO
SDO
may float.
Note 3:
This undervoltage lockout disables the MAX5039/MAX5040 at V
CC
voltages below which the device cannot effectively oper-
ate. When V
CC
drops below the threshold,
SDO
goes low, the bleeder turns off, and POK is high impedance.
Note 4:
In order to regulate correctly, V
CC
must be higher than V
CORE
plus the turn-on voltage of the external N-channel MOSFET.
Note 5:
I/O and CORE valid mean the voltages on these pins have settled within their target specifications for normal operation.
Note 6:
CORE and I/O supplies rise and fall rates must be limited to less than 6.6V/µs.
Note 7:
POK does not deassert for glitches less than t
POK
.
Note 8:
A fault condition is latched when either of the two following conditions maintains for longer than t
FAULT
:
V
CORE_FB
< V
C_REF
(i.e., V
CORE
is less than its set point)
V
I/O
< V
CORE
A FAULT condition forces
SDO
and POK (MAX5040 only) low. CORE discharges to GND through 20Ω while V
CC
> 2.5V.
Cycle UVLO or V
CC
low, then high, to clear a FAULT.
