MAX8809A Overview
Description
The MAX8809A/MAX8810A synchronous, 2-/3-/4phase, step-down, current-mode controllers with integrated dual-phase MOSFET drivers provide flexible solutions that fully comply with Intel® VRD11/VRD10 and AMD K8 Rev F CPU core supplies. The flexible design supplies load currents up to 150A for low-voltage CPU core power requirements.
Key Features
- prevents negative voltage spikes on the output at turn-off, eliminating the need for an external Schottky clamp diode
- Either the inductor DCR or a resistive current-sensing element is used for current sensing
- When used with DCR sensing, rapid active current averaging (RA2) eliminates the tolerance effects of the
