19-2861; Rev 2; 1/05 KIT ATION EVALU E L B AVAILA Dual Step-Down Controllers with Saturation Protection, Dynamic Output, and Linear Regulator General Description The MAX1540/MAX1541 dual pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers provide the high efficiency, excellent transient response, and high DC-output accuracy necessary for stepping down high-voltage batteries to generate low-voltage chipset and RAM power supplies in notebook computers. The Maxim proprietary Quick-PWM™ controllers are free running, constant on-time with input feed forward. This configuration provides ultra-fast transient response, wide input-output (I/O) differential range, low supply current, and tight load-regulation characteristics.
