MAX1887/MAX1897
Quick-PWM Slave Controllers for Multiphase, Step-Down Supplies
General Description
The MAX1887/MAX1897 step-down slave controllers are intended for low-voltage, high-current, multiphase DC-toDC applications. The MAX1887/MAX1897 slave controllers can be combined with any of Maxim’s Quick-PWM™ step-down controllers to form a multiphase DC-to-DC converter. Existing Quick-PWM controllers, such as the MAX1718, function as the master controller, providing accurate output voltage regulation, fast transient response, and fault protection features.
