MAX786
Dual-Output Power-Supply
Controller for Notebook Computers
8 _______________________________________________________________________________________
The MAX786 has two close relatives: the MAX782 and
the MAX783. The MAX782 and MAX783 each include
an extra flyback winding regulator and linear regulators
for dual, +12V/programmable PCMCIA VPP outputs.
The MAX782/MAX783 data sheet contains extra appli-
cations information on the MAX786 not found in this
data sheet.
+3.3V Switch-Mode Supply
The +3.3V supply is generated by a current-mode,
PWM step-down regulator using two N-channel
MOSFETs, a rectifier, and an LC output filter (Figure 1).
The gate-drive signal to the high-side MOSFET, which
must exceed the battery voltage, is provided by
a boost circuit that uses a 100nF capacitor connected
to BST3.
_________________Detailed Description
The MAX786 converts a 5.5V to 30V input to four outputs
(Figure 1). It produces two high-power, PWM, switch-
mode supplies, one at +5V and the other at +3.3V. The
two supplies operate at either 300kHz or 200kHz,
allowing for small external components. Output current
capability depends on external components, and can
exceed 6A on each supply. An internal 5V, 5mA supply
(VL) and a 3.3V, 5mA reference voltage are also gener-
ated via linear regulators, as shown in Figure 2. Fault
protection circuitry shuts off the PWMs when the inter-
nal supplies lose regulation.
Two precision voltage comparators are also included.
Their output stages permit them to be used as level
translators for driving external N-channel MOSFETs in
load-switching applications, or for more conventional
logic signals.
