GENERAL DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
can either step down directly from the battery voltage to create the core voltage, or step down from a low-voltage system supply. Larger capacitive loads are allowable but result in longer propagation and transition times. Adaptive dead-time control helps prevent shootthrough currents and maximizes converter efficiency. The MAX8702/MAX8703 feature zero-crossing comparators on each channel. When enabled, these comparators permit the drivers to be used in pulse-skipping operation, thereby saving power at light loads. A separate shutdown control is also included that disables all functions, drops quiescent current to 2µA, and sets DH low and DL high. The MAX8702 integrates a resistor-programmable temperature sensor. An open-drain output (DRHOT) signals to the system when the local die temperature exceeds the set temperature. The MAX8702/MAX8703 are available in a thermally-enhanced 20-pin thin QFN package. FEATURES
