High-Speed, Adjustable, Synchronous Step-Down
Controllers with Integrated Voltage Positioning
General Description
The MAX1716/MAX1854/MAX1855 step-down con-
trollers are intended for core CPU DC-DC converters in
notebook computers. They feature a dynamically
adjustable output (5-bit DAC), ultra-fast transient
response, high DC accuracy, and high efficiency need-
ed for leading-edge CPU core power supplies. Maxim's
proprietary Quick-PWM™ quick-response, constant-on-
time PWM control scheme handles wide input/output
voltage ratios with ease and provides 100ns “instant-on”
response to load transients while maintaining a relative-
ly constant switching frequency.
The MAX1716/MAX1854/MAX1855 are designed
specifically for CPU core applications requiring a volt-
age-positioned supply. The voltage-positioning input
(VPS), combined with a high DC accuracy control loop,
is used to implement a power supply that modifies its
output set point in response to the load current. This
arrangement decreases full-load power dissipation and
reduces the required number of output capacitors.
The 28V input range of the MAX1716/MAX1854/MAX1855
enables single-stage buck conversion from high-volt-
age batteries for the maximum possible efficiency.
Alternatively, the devices’ high-frequency capability
combined with two-stage conversion (stepping down
the +5V system supply instead of the battery) allows
the smallest possible physical size. The output voltage
can be dynamically adjusted through the 5-bit digital-
to-analog converter (DAC) inputs.
The MAX1716/MAX1854/MAX1855 are available in a
24-pin QSOP package. For applications requiring
SpeedStep™ power control (see the MAX1717).

may be forced below -0.3V, temporarily exceeding the absolute maximum rating, for the purpose of debugging proto-
type breadboards, using the no-fault test mode. Limit the current drawn to -2mA (max).
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
