The MAX1515 constant-off-time, pulse-width-modulated
(PWM) source/sink step-down DC-DC converter is opti-
mized for use in low-voltage active-termination power
rails or chipset power supplies in notebook and sub-
notebook computers. This device features dual internal
n-channel MOSFET power switches for high efficiency
and reduced component count. External Schottky
diodes are not required. An integrated boost switch
eliminates the need for an external boost diode. The
internal 40mΩ NMOS power switches easily source and
sink continuous load currents up to 3A. The MAX1515
produces an adjustable output from +0.5V to +2.7V
and achieves efficiencies as high as 95%.
The MAX1515 can be configured as a DDR regulator,
producing an output that is exactly half the memory
supply rail. The input of the power stage can be taken
from the memory supply rail itself, resulting in an effi-
cient power supply that returns the energy to the rail
from which it was sourced. The MAX1515 includes a
reference buffer that provides ±5mA of drive current.
The MAX1515 uses a unique current-mode, constant-
off-time, PWM control scheme. A selectable pulse-skip-
ping mode maintains high efficiency during light-load
operation, yet still sources and sinks current on
demand. The MAX1515 can also be operated in fixed-
PWM mode for low output ripple. The programmable
constant-off-time architecture sets switching frequen-
cies up to 1MHz, which allows the user to optimize per-
formance trade-offs between efficiency, output
switching noise, component size, and cost. The
MAX1515 features an adjustable soft-start to limit surge
currents during startup and a low-power shutdown
mode to disconnect the input from the output and
reduce supply current below 1µA. The MAX1515 is
available in a 24-pin thin QFN package with an
exposed backside pad.
