Product Details

The MAX1623 switch-mode buck regulator with synchronous rectification provides local CPU and bus-termination power in notebook and desktop computers. An internal 55mΩ (typ), 3A PMOS power switch and 60mΩ (typ), 3A NMOS synchronous-rectifier switch deliver continuous load currents up to 3A from a 5V supply with 95% typical efficiency. Output accuracy is ±1%, including line and load regulation.

The MAX1623 features constant-off-time, current-mode pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control with switching frequencies as high as 350kHz. An external resistor at the TOFF pin sets the off-time, allowing optimum design flexibility in terms of switching frequency, output switching noise, and inductor size. This device is available in a space-saving 20-pin SSOP package.

Applications

  • 5V to 3.3V Conversion
  • CPU Daughter Card Supply
  • Desktop Computer Bus-Termination Supply
  • DSP Supply
  • Notebook Computer CPU I/O Supply
