GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
o Dual-Phase, Quick-PWM Controllers o ±0.75% VOUT Accuracy Over Line, Load, and Temperature (1.3V) o Active Voltage Positioning with Adjustable Gain and Offset o 5-Bit On-Board DAC Mobile: 0.60V to 1.75V Output Range Desktop: 1.10V to 1.85V Output Range o Selectable 100kHz/200kHz/300kHz/550kHz Switching Frequency o 4V to 28V Battery Input Voltage Range o Adjustable Slew-Rate Control o Drive Large Synchronous Rectifier MOSFETs o Output Overvoltage Protection (MAX1545 Only) o Undervoltage and Thermal-Fault Protection o Power Sequencing and Timing o Selectable Suspend Voltage (0.675V to 1.45V) o Soft-Shutdown o Selectable Single- or Dual-Phase Pulse Skipping MAX1519/MAX1545 Dual-phase operation reduces input ripple current requirements and output voltage ripple while easing component selection and layout difficulties. The MAX1519/MAX1545 are intended for two different notebook CPU core applications: stepping down the battery directly or stepping down the 5V system supply to create the core voltage.
