General Description
The MAX1964/MAX1965 power-supply controllers are
designed to address cost-sensitive applications
demanding voltage sequencing/tracking, such as
cable modem consumer premise equipment (CPE),
xDSL CPE, and set-top boxes. Operating off a low-cost,
unregulated DC supply (such as a wall adapter output),
the MAX1964 generates three positive outputs and the
MAX1965 generates four positive outputs and one negative output to provide an inexpensive system power
supply.
The MAX1964 includes a current-mode synchronous
step-down controller and two positive regulator gain
blocks. The MAX1965 has one additional positive gain
block and one negative regulator gain block. The main
synchronous step-down controller generates a highcurrent output that is preset to 3.3V or adjustable from
1.236V to 0.75 ✕VINwith an external resistive-divider.
The 200kHz operating frequency allows the use of lowcost aluminum-electrolytic capacitors and low-cost
power magnetics. Additionally, the MAX1964/MAX1965
step-down controllers sense the voltage across the lowside MOSFET’s on-resistance to efficiently provide the
current-limit signal, eliminating the need for costly current-sense resistors.
The MAX1964/MAX1965 generate additional supply
rails at low cost. The positive regulator gain blocks use
an external PNP pass transistor to generate low voltage
rails directly from the main step-down converter (such
as 2.5V or 1.8V from the main 3.3V output) or higher
voltages using coupled windings from the step-down
converter (such as 5V, 12V, or 15V). The MAX1965’s
negative gain block uses an external NPN pass transistor in conjunction with a coupled winding to generate
-5V, -12V, or -15V.
All output voltages are externally adjustable, providing
maximum flexibility. During startup, the MAX1964 features voltage sequencing and the MAX1965 features
voltage tracking. Both controllers provide a powergood output that monitors all of the output voltages.

NAME FUNCTION
Open-Drain Power-Good Output. POK is low when any output voltage is more than
10% below its regulation point. POK is high impedance when all the outputs are in
regulation. Connect a resistor between POK and VL for logic-level voltages.
Compensation Pin. Connect the compensation network to GND to compensate the
control loop.
Regulated Output Voltage High-Impedance Sense Input. Internally connected to a
resistive-divider and negative gain block (MAX1965).

Open-Drain Output PNP Transistor Driver (Regulator 2). Internally connected to the
drain of a DMOS. B2 connects to the base of an external PNP pass transistor to form a
positive linear regulator.
Analog Gain Block Feedback Input (Regulator 2). Connect to a resistive-divider
between the positive linear regulator’s output and GND to adjust the output voltage.
The feedback set point is 1.24V.
