MAX8524 Datasheet 2- To 8-phase Vrm 10/9.1 Pwm Controllers

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

Overview: 19-2855; Rev 2; 4/05 www.DataSheet4U.com 2- to 8-Phase VRM 10/9.

General Description

The MAX8525 (VRM 10/VRD 10)/MAX8524 (VRM 9.1/ VRD 9.1) current-mode step-down controllers, the MAX8523 high-speed, dual-phase MOSFET gate driver, and the MAX8552 wide-input, single-phase MOSFET gate driver provide flexible, low-cost, low-voltage CPU core supplies.

The MAX8523 and MAX8552 high-speed, high-current gate drivers allow operation at high switching frequencies to reduce external component size and cost for small-footprint, low-profile designs.

Pin-selectable 2-, 3-, and 4-phase operation and master-slave 6and 8-phase operation provide output-current scalability for servers, workstations, desktops, desk notes, and networking applications.
