High-Efficiency, 5x Output, Main Power-Supply Controllers for Notebook Computers
General Description
The MAX1533/MAX1537 are dual step-down, switchmode power-supply (SMPS) controllers with synchronous rectification, intended for main 5V/3.3V power generation in battery-powered systems. Fixed-frequency operation with optimal interleaving minimizes input ripple current from the lowest input voltages up to the 26V maximum input. Optimal 40/60 interleaving allows the input voltage to go down to 8.3V before duty-cycle overlap occurs, compared to 180° out-of-phase regulators where the duty-cycle overlap occurs when the input drops below 10V. Output current sensing provides accurate current limit using a sense resistor.
