General Description
The MAX5038A/MAX5041A dual-phase, PWM controllers
provide high-output-current capability in a compact
package with a minimum number of external components. The MAX5038A/MAX5041A utilize a dual-phase,
average-current-mode control that enables optimal use
of low R
DS(ON)
MOSFETs, eliminating the need for exter-
nal 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 input voltage ranges of +4.75V to
+5.5V or +8V to +28V. 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 boardembedded planar magnetics achieving superior reliability, current sharing, thermal management, compact size,
and low system cost.
The MAX5038A/MAX5041A also feature 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
MAX5038A/MAX5041A also limit the reverse current in
case the bus voltage becomes higher than the regulated output voltage. The MAX5038A offers a variety of factory-trimmed preset output voltages (see Selector Guide)
and the MAX5041A offers an adjustable output voltage
between +1.0V to +3.3V.
The MAX5038A/MAX5041A operate over the extended
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and are available
in a 28-pin SSOP package. Refer to the MAX5037A and
MAX5065/MAX5067 data sheets for a VRM 9.0/VRM 9.1compatible, VID-controlled, adjustable output voltage
controller in a 44-pin MQFP/thin QFN or 28-pin SSOP
package.
