Notebook CPU Step-Down Controller for Intel
Mobile Voltage Positioning (IMVP -II)
General Description
The MAX1718 step-down controller is intended for core
CPU DC-DC converters in notebook computers. It fea-
tures a dynamically adjustable output, ultra-fast transient
response, high DC accuracy, and high efficiency need-
ed for leading-edge CPU core power supplies. Maxim’s
proprietary Quick-PWM™ quick-response, constant-on-
time PWM control scheme handles wide input/output
voltage ratios with ease and provides 100ns “instant-on”
response to load transients while maintaining a relatively
constant switching frequency.
The output voltage can be dynamically adjusted through
the 5-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) over a 0.6V to
1.75V range. The MAX1718 has an internal multiplexer
that accepts three unique 5-bit VID DAC codes corre-
sponding to Performance, Battery, and Suspend modes.
Precision slew-rate control
†
provides “just-in-time” arrival
at the new DAC setting, minimizing surge currents to
and from the battery.
The internal DAC of the MAX1718B is synchronized to
the slew-rate clock for improved operation under
aggressive power management of newer chipsets and
operating systems that can make incomplete mode tran-
sitions.
A pair of complementary offset control inputs allows
easy compensation for IR drops in PC board traces or
creation of a voltage-positioned power supply. Voltage-
positioning modifies the load-transient response to
reduce output capacitor requirements and total system
power dissipation.
Single-stage buck conversion allows these devices to
directly step down high-voltage batteries for the highest
possible efficiency. Alternatively, two-stage conversion
(stepping down the 5V system supply instead of the bat-
tery) at a higher switching frequency allows the mini-
mum possible physical size.
The MAX1718 is available in a 28-pin QSOP 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.
