General Description
The MAX8552 highly integrated monolithic MOSFET dri-
ver is capable of driving a pair of power MOSFETs in
single or multiphase synchronous buck-converter appli-
cations that provide up to 30A output current per
phase. The MAX8552 simplifies PC board layout in mul-
tiphase systems, particularly three phases and higher.
High input voltages up to 24V allow the MAX8552 to be
used in desktop, notebook, and server applications.
Each MOSFET driver is capable of driving 3000pF
capacitive loads with only 12ns propagation delay and
11ns (typ) rise and fall times, making the MAX8552
ideal for high-frequency applications.
User-programmable break-before-make circuitry pre-
vents shoot-through currents, maximizing converter effi-
ciency. An enable input allows total driver shutdown
(<1µA typ) for power-sensitive portable applications.
The PWM control input is compatible with TTL and
CMOS logic levels. The MAX8552, along with the
MAX8524 or the MAX8525 multiphase controllers, pro-
vides flexible 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 8-phase CPU core-voltage
supplies.
The MAX8552 is available in space-saving 10-pin TDFN
and µMAX packages and is specified for -40°C to
+85°C operation.

FUNCTION
Input Supply Voltage. Connect to a supply voltage in the 4.5V to 6.5V range. Bypass to PGND with a
2.2µF or larger capacitor, and bypass to GND with a 0.47µF or larger capacitor.
External Synchronous-Rectifier N-MOSFET Gate-Driver Output. Swings between V
CC
and PGND.
Anticrowbar feature prevents DL from turning on until DH is off and (LX - PGND) < 2V. DL is pulled to
GND in shutdown.
Power Ground
Analog Ground
Dead-Time Delay Programming Input. Connect a resistor from DLY to GND to set the dead-time delay
between when DL falls and when DH rises. Connect DLY to V
CC
to disable the delay function. See the
Typical Operating Characteristics
for R
DLY
selection.
PWM Input. DH is high when PWM is high; DL is high when PWM is low. Input frequency can be as
high as 1.2MHz for the 10-pin µMAX package and as high as 2MHz for the 10-pin TDFN package.
Enable Input. Drive high to enable output drivers. Drive low to disable output drivers and place the IC
in low-power shutdown mode.
Switching Node and Inductor Connection. Low power supply for the DH high-side gate driver.
Connect to the source of the high-side N-MOSFET and the drain of the low-side N-MOSFET, as well
as the switched side of the inductor.
External High-Side N-MOSFET Gate-Driver Output. Swings between LX and BST. Anticrowbar feature
delays DH from turning on until DL is off. An additional user-programmable delay can be added. DH
is pulled to LX in shutdown.
Boost Flying-Capacitor Connection. Gate-drive power supply for DH high-side gate driver. Connect a
0.47µF or larger capacitor between BST and LX.
Exposed Paddle. Connect to GND.
