MAX20751
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
Multiphase Master with PMBus Interface and Internal Buck Converter
General Description
The MAX20751 PMBus™-compliant multiphase master IC, with extensive status and parameter monitoring, is capable of driving up to four smart-slave integrated power devices.
Utilizing Maxim’s smart-slave ICs, the device provides a high-density and flexible solution that can be tailored to a range of power loads used in communication equipment. Proprietary-coupled inductors, recommended to reduce the effective inductor value without excessive ripple current, results in improved transient response and reduction in the number of output capacitors required.
The device incorporates current reporting, temperature monitoring, fault detection, and PMBus support.
