2.35V to 5.5V, 0.5% Accurate, 1MHz PWM Step-Down Controllers with Voltage Margining
General Description
The MAX1960/MAX1961/MAX1962 high-current, highefficiency voltage-mode step-down DC-DC controllers operate from a 2.35V to 5.5V input and generate output voltages down to 0.8V at up to 20A. An on-chip charge pump generates a regulated 5V for MOSFET drive. Additionally, adaptive dead-time drivers allow a wide variety of MOSFETs to be used without risking shoot-through. Fixed-frequency PWM operation and external synchronization make these controllers suitable for telecom and datacom applications. The operating frequency is programmable to either 500kHz or 1MHz, or from 450kHz to 1.2MHz with an external clock.
