The MAX17007A/MAX17007B/MAX17008 are dual Quick-
PWM™ step-down controllers intended for general power
generation in battery-powered systems. The two
switched-mode power supplies (SMPSs) can also be
combined to operate in a two-phase single-output mode.
Constant on-time Quick-PWM operation provides fast
response to load transients and handles wide input/out-
put (I/O) voltage ratios with ease, while maintaining a rela-
tively constant switching frequency. The switching
frequency can be individually adjusted between 200kHz
and 600kHz with external resistors. Differential output cur-
rent sensing allows output sense-resistor sensing for an
accurate current limit, or lossless inductor direct-current
resistance (DCR) current sensing for lower power dissipa-
tion while maintaining 0.7% output accuracy. Overvoltage
(MAX17007A/MAX17007B only), undervoltage protection,
and accurate user-selectable current limits (15mV, 30mV,
45mV, and 60mV) ensure robust operations.
The SMPS outputs can operate in skip mode or in ultra-
sonic mode for improved light-load efficiency. The ultra-
sonic mode eliminates audible noises by maintaining a
minimum switching frequency of 25kHz in pulse-
skipping mode.
The output voltage of SMPS1 can be dynamically
adjusted by changing the voltage at the REFIN1 pin.
The device includes a 0.5% accurate reference output
that can be used to set the REFIN1 voltage. An external
5V bias supply is required to power the internal circuitry
and its gate drivers.
Independent on/off controls with well-defined logic thresh-
olds and independent open-drain power-good outputs
provide flexible system configurations. To prevent current
surges at startup, the internal voltage target is slowly
ramped up from zero to the final target with a slew rate of
1.3mV/µs for SMPS1 at CSL1 and 0.65mV/µs for SMPS2
at FB2. To prevent the output from ringing off below
ground in shutdown, the internal voltage target is ramped
down from its previous value to zero with the same
respective slew rates. Integrated bootstrap switches
eliminate the need for external bootstrap diodes.
The MAX17007A/MAX17007B/MAX17008 are available
in a space-saving, 28-pin, 4mm x 4mm, TQFN package
with an exposed backside pad. The MAX17007B
improves crosstalk performance over the MAX17007A.
