________________General Description
The MAX1639 is an ultra-high-performance, step-down
DC-DC controller for CPU power in high-end computer
systems. Designed for demanding applications in which
output voltage precision and good transient response are
critical for proper operation, it delivers over 35A from 1.1V
to 4.5V with ±1% total accuracy from a +5V ±10% supply.
Excellent dynamic response corrects output transients
caused by the latest dynamically clocked CPUs. This
controller achieves over 90% efficiency by using synchro-
nous rectification. Flying-capacitor bootstrap circuitry
drives inexpensive, external N-channel MOSFETs.
The switching frequency is pin-selectable for 300kHz,
600kHz, or 1MHz. High switching frequencies allow the
use of a small surface-mount inductor and decrease out-
put filter capacitor requirements, reducing board area
and system cost.
Output overvoltage protection is enforced by a crowbar
circuit that turns on the low-side MOSFET with 100%
duty factor when the output is 200mV above the normal
regulation point. Other features include internal digital
soft-start, a power-good output, and a 3.5V ±1% refer-
ence output. The MAX1639 is available in a 16-pin
narrow SOIC package.

FUNCTION
Boost-Capacitor Bypass for High-Side MOSFET Gate Drive. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor and low-leak-
age Schottky diode as a bootstrapped charge-pump circuit to derive a 5V gate drive from V
DD
for DH.
Open-Drain Logic Output. PWROK is high when the voltage on FB is within +8% and -6% of its set-
point.
Current-Sense Amplifier’s Inverting Input. Place the current-sense resistor very close to the controller IC,
and use a Kelvin connection.
Current-Sense Amplifier’s Noninverting Input
Analog Supply Input, 5V. Use an RC filter network, as shown in Figure 1.
Reference Output, 3.5V. Bypass REF to AGND with 0.1µF (min). Sources up to 100µA for external
loads. Force REF below 2V to turn off the controller.
Analog Ground
Voltage-Feedback Input. The voltage at this input is regulated to 1.100V.
Fast-Loop Compensation Capacitor Input. Connect a ceramic capacitor and resistor in series from
CC1 to AGND. See the section
Compensating the Feedback Loop.
Slow-Loop Compensation Capacitor Input. Connect a ceramic capacitor from CC2 to AGND. See the
section
Compensating the Feedback Loop.
Frequency-Select Input. FREQ = V
CC
: 1MHz
FREQ = REF: 600kHz
FREQ = AGND: 300kHz
Power Input for MOSFET Drivers, 5V. Bypass V
DD
to PGND within 0.2 in. (5mm) of the V
DD
pin using a
0.1µF capacitor and 4.7µF capacitor connected in parallel.
Low-Side Synchronous Rectifier Gate-Drive Output. DL swings between PGND and V
DD
. See the
section
BST High-Side Gate-Driver Supply and MOSFET Drivers.
Power Ground
Switching Node. Connect LX to the high-side MOSFET source and inductor.
High-Side Main MOSFET Switch Gate-Drive Output. DH is a floating driver output that swings from LX
to BST, riding on the LX switching-node voltage. See the section
BST High-Side Gate-Driver Supply
and MOSFET Drivers.
