The MAX1638 is an ultra-high-performance, step-down DC-DC controller for CPU power in high-end computer systems. Designed for demanding applications in which output voltage precision and good transient response are critical for proper operation, it delivers over 35A from 1.3V to 3.5V with ±1% total accuracy from a +5V ±10% supply. Excellent dynamic response corrects output transients caused by the latest dynamically clocked CPUs. This controller achieves over 90% efficiency by using synchronous rectification. Flying-capacitor bootstrap circuitry drives inexpensive, external N-channel MOSFETs.
The switching frequency is pin-selectable for 300kHz, 600kHz, or 1MHz. High switching frequencies allow the use of a small surface-mount inductor and decrease output filter capacitor requirements, reducing board area and system cost.
The MAX1638 is available in 24-pin SSOP and QSOP (future package) packages, and offers additional features such as a digitally programmable output; adjustable transient response; and selectable 0.5%, 1%, or 2% AC load regulation. Fast recovery from load transients is ensured by a GlitchCatcher™ current-boost circuit that eliminates delays caused by the buck inductor. Output overvoltage protection is enforced by a crowbar circuit that turns on the low-side MOSFET with 100% duty factor when the output is 200mV above the normal regulation point. Other features include internal digital soft-start, a power-good output, and a 3.5V ±1% reference output.
