Description
The MAX5037 dual-phase, PWM controller provides high-output-current capability in a compact package with a minimum number of external components. The MAX5037 utilizes a dual-phase, average current-mode control that enables optimal use of low RDS(ON) MOSFETs, eliminating the need for external heatsinks even when delivering high output currents.

Differential sensing enables accurate control of the output voltage, while adaptive voltage positioning provides optimum transient response. An internal regulator enables operation with either +5V or +12V input voltage without the need for additional voltage sources. The high switching frequency, up to 500kHz per phase, and dual-phase operation allow the use of low output inductor values and input capacitor values. This accommodates the use of PC board-embedded planar magnetics achieving superior reliability, current sharing, thermal management, compact size, and low system cost.

The MAX5037 also features a clock input (CLKIN) for synchronization to an external clock, and a clock output (CLKOUT) with programmable phase delay (relative to CLKIN) for paralleling multiple phases. The MAX5037 operates over the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and is available in 44-pin MQFP or thin QFN packages. Refer to the MAX5038/MAX5041 data sheet for either a fixed output voltage controller or an adjustable output voltage controller in a 28-pin SSOP package.
