Dual-Phase, Parallelable, Average Current-Mode
Controllers
General Description
The MAX5038/MAX5041 dual-phase, PWM controllers
provide high-output-current capability in a compact
package with a minimum number of external compo-
nents. The MAX5038/MAX5041 utilize a dual-phase,
average current-mode control that enables optimal use
of low R
DS(ON)
MOSFETs, eliminating the need for exter-
nal heatsinks even when delivering high output currents.
Differential sensing enables accurate control of the out-
put voltage, while adaptive voltage positioning provides
optimum transient response. An internal regulator
enables operation with input voltage ranges of +4.75V to
+5.5V or +8V to +28V. The high switching frequency, up
to 500kHz per phase, and dual-phase operation allow
the use of low-output inductor values and input capacitor
values. This accommodates the use of PC board-
embedded planar magnetics achieving superior reliabili-
ty, current sharing, thermal management, compact size,
and low system cost.
The MAX5038/MAX5041 also feature a clock input
(CLKIN) for synchronization to an external clock, and a
clock output (CLKOUT) with programmable phase delay
(relative to CLKIN) for paralleling multiple phases. The
MAX5038 offers a variety of factory-trimmed preset output
voltages (see
Selector Guide)
and the MAX5041 offers an
adjustable output voltage from +1.0V to +3.3V.
The MAX5038/MAX5041 operate over the extended
industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and are
available in a 28-pin SSOP package. Refer to the
MAX5037 data sheet for a VRM 9.0-compatible, VID-
controlled output voltage controller in a 44-pin MQFP or
QFN package.

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.
