Maxim MAX8550AETI+

Контроллер, DDR2 В ~ 28 В1,8 В, 2,5 В, 0,7 В ~ 5,5 В

Overview

The MAX8550AETI integrates a synchronous-buck PWM controller to generate VDDQ, a sourcing and sinking LDO linear regulator to generate VTT, and a 10mA reference output buffer to generate VTTR. The buck controller drives two external n-channel MOSFETs to generate output voltages down to 0.7V from a 2V to 28V input with output currents up to 15A. The LDO can sink or source up to 1.5A continuous and 3A peak current. Both the LDO output and the 10mA reference buffer output can be made track the REFIN voltage. These features make the MAX8550AETI ideally suited for DDR memory applications desktops, notebooks, and graphic cards. The PWM controller in the MAX8550AETI utilizes Maxim's proprietary Quick-PWM architecture with programmable switching frequencies of up to 600kHz. This control scheme handles wide input/output voltage ratios with ease and provides 100ns response to load transients while maintaining high efficiency and a relatively constant switching frequency. The MAX8550AETI offers fully programmable UVP/OVP and skip-mode options ideal portable applications. Skip mode allows for improved efficiency at lighter loads. The VTT and VTTR outputs track to within 1% of VREFIN/2. The high bandwidth of this LDO regulator allows excellent transient response without the need for bulk capacitors, thus reducing cost and size. The buck controller and LDO regulators are provided with independent current limits. Adjustable lossless foldback current limit for the buck regulator is achieved by monitoring the drain-to-source voltage drop of the low-side MOSFET. Additionally, overvoltage and undervoltage protection mechanisms are built in. Once the overcurrent condition is removed, the regulator is allowed to enter soft-start again. This helps minimize power dissipation during a short-circuit condition. The MAX8550AETI allows flexible sequencing and standby power management using the active-low SHDN and active-low STBY inputs, which support DDRs' operating states. The MAX8550AETI is available in a small 5mm x 5mm, 28-pin thin QFN package.
