_______________General Description
The MAX783 is a system-engineered power-supply controller
for notebook computers or similar battery-powered equipment.
It provides two high-performance step-down (buck) pulse-
width modulators (PWMs) for +3.3V/+5V and dual PCMCIA
VPP outputs powered by an integral flyback winding controller.
Other functions include dual, low-dropout, micropower linear
regulators for CMOS/RTC back up, and two precision low-
battery-detection comparators.
High efficiency (95% at 2A, greater than 80% at loads from
5mA to 3A) is achieved through synchronous rectification
and PWM operation at heavy loads, and Idle-Mode
TM
oper-
ation at light loads. The MAX783 uses physically small
components, thanks to high operating frequencies
(300kHz/200kHz) and a new current-mode PWM architec-
ture that allows for output filter capacitors as small as 30µF
per ampere of load. Line- and load-transient responses
are terrific, with a high 60kHz unity-gain crossover frequen-
cy that allows output transients to be corrected within four
or five clock cycles. Low system cost is achieved through
a high level of integration and the use of low-cost external
N-channel MOSFETs. The integral flyback winding con-
troller provides a low-cost, +15V high-side output that regu-
lates even in the absence of a load on the main output.
Other features include low-noise, fixed-frequency PWM
operation at moderate to heavy loads and a synchronizable
oscillator for noise-sensitive applications such as electro-
magnetic pen-based systems and communicating comput-
ers. The MAX783 is similar to the MAX782, except the fly-
back winding is on the 3.3V inductor instead of the 5V
inductor, the VPP outputs can be optionally programmed to
3.3V, and the device may be completely shut down.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued)
Note 1:
Output current is further limited by maximum allowable package power dissipation.
Note 2:
Because the reference uses VL as its supply, the REF line regulation error is insignificant.
Note 3:
The main switching outputs track the reference voltage. Loading the reference reduces the main outputs slightly according
to the closed-loop gain (AV
CL
) and the reference voltage load regulation error. AV
CL
for the +3.3V supply is unity gain.
AV
CL
for the +5V supply is 1.54.
