High-Speed, Step-Down Controller with
Accurate Current Limit for Notebook Computers
General Description
The MAX8764 pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller
provides high efficiency, excellent transient response,
and high-DC output accuracy needed for stepping
down high-voltage batteries to generate low-voltage
CPU core or chipset/RAM supplies in notebook com-
puters.
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.
Efficiency is enhanced by an ability to drive very large
synchronous-rectifier MOSFETs. Accurate current sens-
ing to ensure reliable overload protection is available
using an external current-sense resistor in series with
the synchronous rectifier. Alternatively, the synchronous
rectifier itself can be used for less-accurate current
sensing at the lowest possible power dissipation. A
high-output impedance in shutdown eliminates nega-
tive output voltages, saving the cost of a Schottky diode
on the output.
Single-stage buck conversion allows the MAX8764 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 MAX8764 is intended for CPU core, chipset,
DRAM, or other low-voltage supplies as low as 1V. It is
available in 20-pin QSOP and thin QFN packages and
includes both adjustable overvoltage and undervoltage
protection.
For a dual step-down PWM controller with accurate cur-
rent limit, refer to the MAX8743 data sheet. The
MAX1714/MAX1715 single/dual PWM controllers are
similar to the MAX8764, but do not use current-sense
resistors.

Note 1:
When the inductor is in continuous conduction, the output voltage has a DC regulation level higher than the error compara-
tor threshold by 50% of the ripple. In discontinuous conduction (SKIP = GND, light load), the output voltage has a DC regu-
lation level higher than the trip level by approximately 1.5% due to slope compensation.
Note 2:
On-time and off-time specifications are measured from 50% point to 50% point at the DH pin with LX = GND, V
BST
= 5V,
and a 250pF capacitor connected from DH to LX. Actual in-circuit times may differ due to MOSFET switching speeds.
Note 3:
Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
Note 4:
Production testing limitations due to package handling require relaxed maximum on-resistance specifications for the thin
QFN package. The MAX8764EEP and MAX8764ETP contain the same die and the thin QFN package imposes no additional
resistance in-circuit.
