MAX1937/MAX1938/MAX1939
The MAX1937/MAX1938/MAX1939 comprise a family of
synchronous, two-phase, step-down controllers capable
of delivering load currents up to 60A. The controllers uti-
lize Quick-PWM™ control architecture in conjunction with
active load-current voltage positioning. Quick-PWM con-
trol provides instantaneous load-step response, while
programmable voltage positioning allows the converter
to utilize full transient regulation limits, reducing the out-
put capacitance requirement. The two phases operate
180° out-of-phase with an effective 500kHz switching fre-
quency, thus reducing input and output current ripple, as
well as reducing input filter capacitor requirements.
The MAX1937/MAX1938/MAX1939 are compliant with
AMD Hammer, Intel
®
‚ Voltage-Regulator Module (VRM)
9.0/9.1, and AMD Athlon™ Mobile VID code specifica-
tions (see Table 1 for VID codes). The internal DAC pro-
vides ultra-high accuracy of ±0.75%. A controlled VID
voltage transition is implemented to minimize both
undervoltage and overvoltage overshoot during VID
input change.
Remote sensing is available for high output-voltage
accuracy. The MOSFET switches are driven by a 6V
gate-drive circuit to minimize switching and crossover
conduction losses to achieve efficiency as high as
90%. The MAX1937/MAX1938/MAX1939 feature cycle-
by-cycle current limit to ensure that the current limit is
not exceeded. Crowbar protection is available to pro-
tect against output overvoltage.

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.
