_______________General Description
The MAX1624/MAX1625 are ultra-high-performance,
step-down DC-DC controllers for CPU power in high-end
computer systems. Designed for demanding applications
in which output voltage precision and good transient
response are critical for proper operation, they deliver
over 35A from 1.1V to 3.5V with ±1% total accuracy from
a +5V ±10% supply. Excellent dynamic response cor-
rects output transients caused by the latest dynamically
clocked CPUs. These controllers achieve over 90% effi-
ciency by using synchronous rectification. Flying-capaci-
tor bootstrap circuitry drives inexpensive, external
N-channel MOSFETs.
The switching frequency is resistor programmable from
100kHz to 1MHz. High switching frequencies allow the
use of a small surface-mount inductor and decrease out-
put filter capacitor requirements, reducing board area
and system cost.
The MAX1624 is available in a 24-pin SSOP and offers
additional features such as a digitally programmable out-
put in 100mV increments; adjustable transient response;
selectable 0.5%, 1%, or 2% AC load regulation; and gate
drive for a current-boost MOSFET. The MAX1625 is resis-
tor adjustable and comes in a 16-pin narrow SO pack-
age. Other features in both controllers include internal
digital soft-start, a power-good output, and a 3.5V ±1%
reference output. For a similar controller compatible with
the latest Intel V
RM
/V
ID
specification, see the MAX1638*

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.

DD
= 4.5V to 5.5V and CSH - CSL = 0mV to 80mV. The
other DAC codes are tested at the major transition points with V
CC

DD

DAC codes over line and load is guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
FB set voltage is 100% tested with V
CC

DD
= 4.5V to 5.5V and CSH - CSL = 0mV to 80mV.
Note 3:
AC load regulation sets the AC loop gain, to make tradeoffs between output filter capacitor size and transient response,
and has only a slight effect on DC accuracy or DC load-regulation error.
Note 4:
Specifications from 0°C to -40°C are not production tested.
