rent-mode PWMs while also avoiding the problems
caused by widely varying switching frequencies in con-
ventional constant-on-time and constant-off-time PWM
schemes.
+5V Bias Supply (V
CC
and V
DD
)
The MAX1710/MAX1711/MAX1712 require an external
+5V bias supply in addition to the battery. Typically, this
+5V bias supply is the notebook’s 95% efficient 5V sys-
tem supply. Keeping the bias supply external to the IC
improves efficiency and eliminates the cost associated
with the +5V linear regulator that would otherwise be
needed to supply the PWM circuit and gate drivers. If
stand-alone capability is needed, the +5V supply can be
generated with an external linear regulator such as the
MAX1615.
The battery and +5V bias inputs can be tied together if
the input source is a fixed 4.5V to 5.5V supply. If the +5V
bias supply is powered up prior to the battery supply, the
enable signal (SHDN) must be delayed until the battery
voltage is present in order to ensure startup. The +5V
bias supply must provide V
CC
and gate-drive power, so
the maximum current drawn is:
