2- to 8-Phase VRM 10/9.1 PWM Controllers with Precise Current Sharing and Fast Voltage Positioning
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.
