Dual Step-Down Controllers with Saturation Protection, Dynamic Output, and Linear Regulator
General DescriptionThe MAX1540/MAX1541 dual pulse-width modulation
(PWM) controllers provide the high efficiency, excellent
transient response, and high DC-output accuracy nec-
essary for stepping down high-voltage batteries to gen-
erate low-voltage chipset and RAM power supplies in
notebook computers.
The Maxim proprietary Quick-PWM™ controllers are
free running, constant on-time with input feed forward.
This configuration provides ultra-fast transient
response, wide input-output (I/O) differential range, low
supply current, and tight load-regulation characteris-
tics. The controllers can accurately sense the inductor
current across an external current-sense resistor in
series with the output to ensure reliable overload and
inductor saturation protection. Alternatively, the con-
trollers can use the synchronous rectifier itself or loss-
less inductor current-sensing methods to provide
overload protection with lower power dissipation.
For a single step-down PWM controller with inductor-
saturation protection, external-reference input voltage,
and dynamically selectable output voltages, refer to the
MAX1992/MAX1993 data sheet.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGSStresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 1:For the MAX1540, the gate-driver input supply (VDD) is internally connected to the fixed 5V linear-regulator output (LDOOUT),
and the linear-regulator input supply (LDOIN) is internally connected to the battery voltage input (V+).
