19-3318; Rev 1; 8/05 MAX8743 Dual, High-Efficiency, Step-Down Controller with High Impedance in Shutdown General Description The MAX8743 is a dual pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller configured for step-down (buck) topologies that provides the high efficiency, excellent transient response, and high DC output accuracy necessary for stepping down high-voltage batteries to generate lowvoltage chipset and RAM power supplies in notebook computers. The CS_ inputs can be used with low-side sense resistors to provide accurate current limits or can be connected to LX_, using low-side MOSFETs as current-sense elements. High output impedance in shutdown eliminates negative output voltages, saving the cost of a Schottky diode at the output.
