MAX1992/MAX1993
Quick-PWM Step-Down Controllers with Inductor Saturation Protection and Dynamic Output Voltages
General Description
The MAX1992/MAX1993 pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers provide high-efficiency, excellent transient response, and high DC output accuracy. The devices step down high-voltage batteries to generate lowvoltage CPU core or chipset/RAM supplies in notebook computers.
Maxim’s proprietary Quick-PWM™ quick-response, constant on-time PWM control scheme handles wide input/output voltage ratios with ease and provides 100ns “instant-on” response to load transients, while maintaining a relatively constant switching frequency. Efficiency is enhanced by the ability to drive very large synchronousrectifier MOSFETs.
