MAX17021/MAX17082/MAX17482
The MAX17021/MAX17082/MAX17482 are 2/1-phase-
interleaved Quick-PWM™ step-down VID power-supply
controllers for notebook CPUs. True out-of-phase oper-
ation reduces input ripple current requirements and
output- voltage ripple, while easing component selec-
tion and layout difficulties. The Quick-PWM control pro-
vides instantaneous response to fast load-current
steps. Active voltage positioning reduces power dissi-
pation and bulk output capacitance requirements and
allows ideal positioning compensation for tantalum,
polymer, or ceramic bulk output capacitors.
A slew-rate controller allows controlled transitions between
VID codes, controlled soft-start and shutdown, and con-
trolled exit from suspend. A thermistor-based temperature
sensor provides a programmable thermal-fault output
(VRHOT). A current monitor output (IMON) provides an
analog current output proportional to the power consumed
by the CPU (MAX17082/MAX17482 only). Output under-
voltage, overvoltage (MAX17021/MAX17082 only), and
thermal protection shut the controller down when any of
these faults are detected. A voltage-regulator power-OK
(PWRGD) output indicates the output is in regulation.
Additionally, the MAX17021/MAX17082/MAX17482 fea-
ture true differential current sense and a phase-good
(PHASEGD) output that indicates a phase imbalance
fault condition.
The MAX17021 supports the IMVP-6+ specification
while the MAX17082/MAX17482 support the IMVP-6.5
requirements. The MAX17021/MAX17082/MAX17482
are available in a 5mm x 5mm, 40-pin TQFN package.

SHDN
might be forced to 12V for the purpose of debugging prototype boards using the no-fault test mode, which disables
fault protection and overlapping operation.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
