MAX8529
The MAX8529 dual, synchronized, step-down controller
generates two outputs from input supplies ranging from
4.75V to 23V. Each output is adjustable from sub-1V
to 18V. Input voltage ripple and total RMS input ripple
current are reduced by synchronized 180-degree out-of-
phase operation.
The switching frequency is adjustable from 600kHz to
1.5MHz with an external resistor. Alternatively, the con-
troller can be synchronized to an external clock gener-
ated to another MAX8529 or a system clock. One
MAX8529 can be set to generate an in-phase, or 90-
degree out-of-phase, clock signal for synchronization
with additional controllers. This allows two controllers to
operate either as an interleaved two- or four-phase sys-
tem with each output shifted by 90 degrees. These
devices also feature soft-start and soft-stop.
The MAX8529 eliminates the need for current-sense
resistors by utilizing the low-side MOSFET’s on-resis-
tance as a current-sense element. This protects the
DC-to-DC components from damage during output
overload conditions or when output short circuit faults
without requiring a current-sense resistor. Adjustable
foldback current limit reduces power dissipation during
short-circuit conditions. The MAX8529 includes a
power-on reset output to signal the system when both
outputs reach regulation.
The MAX8529 is available in a 24-pin QSOP package. An
evaluation kit is available to speed designs.

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.
