MAX798 - High-Accuracy Step-Down Controller with Synchronous Rectifier for CPU Power

General Description

The high-performance, step-down DC-DC converter provides main CPU power in battery-powered systems.

This buck controller achieves 96% efficiency by using synchronous rectification and Maxim’s proprietary Idle Mode™ control scheme to extend battery life at full-load (up to 10A) and no-load outputs.

19-1175; Rev 0; 12/96 High-Accuracy Step-Down Controller with Synchronous Rectifier for CPU Power _______________General Description The high-performance, step-down DC-DC converter provides main CPU power in battery-powered systems. This buck controller achieves 96% efficiency by using synchronous rectification and Maxim’s proprietary Idle Mode™ control scheme to extend battery life at full-load (up to 10A) and no-load outputs. The MAX798’s high accuracy meets the demanding requirements of the latest-generation CPUs. Excellent dynamic response corrects output transients caused by the latest dynamic-clock CPUs within five 300kHz clock cycles.
