High-Voltage, Step-Down Controller with
Synchronous Rectifier for CPU Power
_______________General Description
The MAX797H high-performance, step-down DC-DC
converter provides main CPU power in battery-powered
systems. A 40V rating on the power stage’s input allows
operation with high-cell-count batteries and a wide
range of AC adaptors. This buck controller achieves
96% efficiency by using synchronous rectification and
Maxim’s proprietary Idle Mode™ control scheme to
extend battery life at full-load (up to 10A) and no-load
outputs. Excellent dynamic response corrects output tran-
sients caused by the latest dynamic-clock CPUs within five
300kHz clock cycles. Unique bootstrap circuitry drives
inexpensive N -channel MOSFETs, reducing system cost
and eliminating the crowbar switching currents found in
some PMOS/NMOS switch designs.
The MAX797H has a logic-controlled and synchronizable
fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulating (PWM) operating
mode, which reduces noise and RF interference in sensi -
tive mobile-communications and pen-entry applications.
The
SKIP
override input allows automatic switchover to
idle-mode operation (for high-efficiency pulse skipping) at
light loads, or forces fixed-frequency mode for lowest noise
at all loads. The MAX797H is pin compatible with the popu-
lar MAX797, but has a higher input voltage range.
The MAX797H comes in a 16-pin narrow SO package.

Note 1:
Since the reference uses VL as its supply, V+ line-regulation error is insignificant.
Note 2:
At very low input voltages, quiescent supply current can increase due to excess PNP base current in the VL linear
regulator. This occurs only if V+ falls below the preset VL regulation point (5V nominal).
Note 3:
All -40°C to +85°C specifications are guaranteed by design.
Note 4:
The power input is the high-side MOSFET drain.

FUNCTION
Soft-Start Timing Capacitor Connection. Ramp time to full current limit is approximately 1ms/nF.
Disables pulse-skipping mode when high. Connect
SKIP
to GND for normal use.
Do not leave unconnected.
With
SKIP
grounded, the device
automatically
changes from pulse-skipping operation to full PWM operation
when the load current exceeds approximately 30% of maximum.
Reference Voltage Output. Bypass REF to GND with 0.33µF minimum.
Low-noise Analog Ground and Feedback Reference Point
Oscillator Synchronization and Frequency Select. Tie SYNC to GND or VL for 150kHz operation; tie to REF for
300kHz operation. A high-to-low transition begins a new cycle. Drive SYNC with 0V to 5V logic levels (see
Electrical Characteristics
for V
IH
and V
IL
specifications). SYNC capture range is guaranteed to be 190kHz to
340kHz.
Shutdown Control Input, Active Low. Logic threshold is set at approximately 1V (V
TH
of an internal N-channel
MOSFET). Tie
SHDN
to V+ for automatic start-up.
Feedback Input. Regulates at FB = REF (approximately 2.505V) in adjustable mode. FB is a Dual Mode
TM
input that also selects the fixed-output voltage settings as follows:
•
Connect to GND for 3.3V operation.
•
Connect to VL for 5V operation.
•
Connect to a resistor divider for adjustable mode. FB can be driven with 5V Rail-to-Rail® logic to change
the output voltage under system control.

DH
Current-Sense Input, High Side. Current-limit level is 100mV referred to CSL.
Current-Sense Input, Low Side. CSL also serves as the feedback input in fixed-output modes.
Battery Voltage Input (4.5V to 30V). Bypass V+ to PGND close to the IC with a 0.1µF capacitor. Connects to a
linear regulator that powers VL.
5V Internal Linear-Regulator Output. VL is also the supply-voltage rail for the chip. It is switched to the output
voltage via CSL (V
CSL
> 4.5V) for automatic bootstrapping. Bypass to GND with 4.7µF. VL can supply up to
5mA for external loads.
Power Ground
Low-Side Gate-Drive Output. DL normally drives the synchronous-rectifier MOSFET. Swings 0V to VL.
Boost Capacitor Connection for High-Side Gate Drive (0.1µF)
Switching Node (inductor) Connection. LX can swing 2V below ground without hazard.
High-Side Gate-Drive Output. DH normally drives the main buck switch. It is a floating driver output that
swings from LX to BST, riding on the LX switching-node voltage.
