Notebook CPU Step-Down Controller
General Description
The MAX1718T step-down controller is intended for core
CPU DC-to-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 MAX1718T has an internal
multiplexer that accepts three unique 5-bit VID DAC
codes corresponding to performance, battery, and sus-
pend modes. Precision slew-rate control provides “just-
in-time” arrival at the new DAC setting, minimizing
surge currents to and from the battery.
A pair of complementary offset control inputs allows
easy compensation for IR drops in PCB traces or cre-
ation 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
battery) at a higher switching frequency allows the mini-
mum possible physical size.
The MAX1718T is available in a 28-pin QSOP package.
