Low-Voltage, Internal Switch,
Step-Down Regulator

Detailed Description
The MAX17083 standard application circuit (Figure 1)
provides a single 1.1V/5A chipset supply. The
MAX17083 features a step-down switching regulator
with dual internal n-channel MOSFET power switches.
These step-down regulators use a fixed-frequency, cur-
rent-mode control scheme compensated by the output
capacitor, providing an easy-to-implement architecture
without sacrificing fast transient response. These regu-
lators also provide peak current-limit protection, and
operate pulse-skipping mode at light loads to maintain
high efficiency.
Independent enable input and open-drain power-good
output allow flexible system power sequencing. The
voltage soft-start gradually ramps up the output voltage
within a predictable time period and reduces inrush
current. The MAX17083 features outputs undervoltage,
output overvoltage, and thermal-fault protection.
Reference (REF)
The 1.25V reference is accurate to ±1% over tempera-
ture and load, making REF useful as a precision system
reference. Bypass REF to GND with a 0.1µF or greater
ceramic capacitor. The reference sources up to 50µA
and sinks 5µA to support external loads. If highly accu-
rate specifications are required for the main SMPS out-
put voltages, the reference should not be loaded.
Loading the reference slightly reduces the output volt-
age accuracy because of the reference load-regulation
error as defined in the
Electrical Characteristics
table.
