The MAX1636 is a synchronous, buck, switch-mode, power-supply controller that generates the CPU supply voltage in battery-powered systems. It achieves ±1% output voltage accuracy and offers the excellent load-transient response needed by upcoming generations of dynamic-clock CPUs.
Up to 95% efficiency is achieved through synchronous rectification and Maxim's proprietary Idle Mode™ control scheme. Efficiency is greater than 80% over a 1000:1 load-current range, extending battery life in system-suspend or standby modes. Excellent dynamic response corrects output load transients caused by the latest dynamic-clock CPUs within five 300kHz clock cycles. Strong, 1A, on-board gate drivers ensure fast, external N-channel MOSFET switching.
The MAX1636 features a logic-controlled and synchronizable, fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulation (PWM) operating mode that reduces noise and RF interference in sensitive mobile communications and pen-entry applications. Holding SKIP high forces fixed-frequency mode for lowest noise under all load conditions.
For a low-cost version that omits the +5V VL linear-regulator block and comes in a smaller 16-pin QSOP package, refer to the MAX1637 data sheet.
* Some packages have variations, listed on the drawing. "PkgCode/Variation" tells which variation the product uses. Note that "+", "#", "-" in the part number suffix describes RoHS status. Package drawings may show a different suffix character.
