General Description

The MAX1519/MAX1545 are dual-phase, Quick-PWM™,
step-down controllers for desktop and mobile Pentium

®

4

(P4) CPU core supplies. Dual-phase operation reduces
input ripple current requirements and output voltage rip-
ple while easing component selection and layout difficul-
ties. The Quick-PWM control scheme provides
instantaneous response to fast load-current steps. The
MAX1519/MAX1545 include active voltage positioning
with adjustable gain and offset, reducing power dissipa-
tion and bulk output capacitance requirements.

The MAX1519/MAX1545 are intended for two different
notebook CPU core applications: stepping down the bat-
tery directly or stepping down the 5V system supply to
create the core voltage. The single-stage conversion
method allows these devices to directly step down high-
voltage batteries for the highest possible efficiency.
Alternatively, two-stage conversion (stepping down the
5V system supply instead of the battery) at a higher
switching frequency provides the minimum possible
physical size.

The MAX1519/MAX1545 comply with Intel’s P4 specifi-
cations. The switching regulator features soft-start,
power-up sequencing, and soft-shutdown. The
MAX1519/MAX1545 also feature independent four-level
logic inputs for setting the suspend voltage (S0–S1).

The MAX1519/MAX1545 include output undervoltage
protection (UVP), thermal protection, and voltage regula-
tor power-OK (VROK) output. When any of these protec-
tion features detect a fault, the controller shuts down.
Additionally, the MAX1519/MAX1545 include overvoltage
protection.

The MAX1519/MAX1545 are available in low-profile, 40-
pin, 6mm x 6mm thin QFN packages. For other CPU
platforms, refer to the pin-to-pin compatible MAX1544
and MAX1532/MAX1546/MAX1547 data sheets.
