TIME
The MAX1907A/MAX1981A meet the IMVP-IV specifications and include logic to interface with the CPU power
good signals from the VCCP and VCCMCH rails within the
system. The regulator features power-up sequencing,
automatically ramping up to the Intel-specified boot voltage. The MAX1907A/MAX1981A feature independent
four-level logic inputs for setting the boot voltage
(B0–B2) and the suspend voltage (S0–S2).
The MAX1907A/MAX1981A include output undervoltage
protection, thermal protection, and system power-OK
(SYSPOK) input/output. When any of these protection features detect a fault, the MAX1907A/MAX1981A immediately shut down. Additionally, the MAX1907A includes
overvoltage protection.
The MAX1907A/MAX1981A are available in a thin 40-pin
QFN package.
♦ Quick-PWM Master Controllers
TON
The MAX1907A/MAX1981A are single-phase, QuickPWM™ master controllers for IMVP-IV™ CPU core supplies. Multi-phase operation is achieved using a
Quick-PWM slave controller (MAX1980). Multiphase
operation reduces input ripple current requirements
and output voltage ripple while easing component
selection and layout difficulties. The MAX1907A/
MAX1981A include active voltage positioning with
adjustable gain and offset, reducing power dissipation
and bulk output capacitance requirements.
The MAX1907A/MAX1981A are intended for two different notebook CPU core applications: either bucking
down the battery directly, or 5V system supply to create
the core voltage. The single-stage conversion method
allows these devices to directly step down high-voltage
batteries for the highest possible efficiency.
Alternatively, two-stage conversion (stepping down the
5V system supply instead of the battery) at higher
switching frequency provides the minimum possible
physical size.
