Power-Good Window Comparator
MAX8632
The MAX8632 integrates a synchronous-buck PWM con-
troller to generate V
DDQ
, a sourcing and sinking LDO lin-
ear regulator to generate V
TT
, and a 10mA reference
output buffer to generate V
TTR
. The buck controller drives
two external n-channel MOSFETs to generate output volt-
ages down to 0.7V from a 2V to 28V input with output cur-
rents up to 15A. The LDO can sink or source up to 1.5A
continuous and 3A peak current. Both the LDO output
and the 10mA reference buffer output can be made to
track the REFIN voltage. These features make the
MAX8632 ideally suited for DDR memory applications in
desktops, notebooks, and graphic cards.
The PWM controller in the MAX8632 utilizes Maxim鈥檚
proprietary Quick-PWM鈩?architecture with programma-
ble switching frequencies of up to 600kHz. This control
scheme handles wide input/output voltage ratios with
ease and provides 100ns response to load transients
while maintaining high efficiency and a relatively con-
stant switching frequency. The MAX8632 offers fully pro-
grammable UVP/OVP and skip-mode options ideal in
portable applications. Skip mode allows for improved
efficiency at lighter loads.
The VTT and VTTR outputs track to within 1% of V
REFIN
/ 2.
The high bandwidth of this LDO regulator allows excel-
lent transient response without the need for bulk capac-
itors, thus reducing cost and size.
The buck controller and LDO regulators are provided with
independent current limits. Adjustable lossless foldback
current limit for the buck regulator is achieved by monitor-
ing the drain-to-source voltage drop of the low-side
MOSFET. Additionally, overvoltage and undervoltage pro-
tection mechanisms are built in. Once the overcurrent
condition is removed, the regulator is allowed to enter
soft-start again. This helps minimize power dissipation
during a short-circuit condition. The MAX8632 allows flex-
ible sequencing and standby power management using
the
SHDN
and
STBY
inputs, which support all DDR
operating states.
The MAX8632 is available in a small 5mm
脳
5mm, 28-
pin thin QFN package.
