High-Speed, Step-Down Controller with
Accurate Current Limit for Notebook Computers
General Description
Features
The MAX8764 pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller
provides high efficiency, excellent transient response,
and high-DC output accuracy needed for stepping
down high-voltage batteries to generate low-voltage
CPU core or chipset/RAM supplies in notebook com-
puters.
♦ Ultrahigh Efficiency
♦ Accurate Current-Limit Option
♦ Quick-PWM with 100ns Load-Step Response
♦ 1% V Accuracy Over Line and Load
OUT
♦ 1.8V/2.5V Fixed or 1V to 5.5V Adjustable Output
Maxim’s proprietary Quick-PWM™ quick-response,
constant-on-time PWM control scheme handles wide
input/output voltage ratios with ease and provides
100ns “instant-on” response to load transients while
maintaining a relatively constant switching frequency.
Efficiency is enhanced by an ability to drive very large
synchronous-rectifier MOSFETs. Accurate current sens-
ing to ensure reliable overload protection is available
using an external current-sense resistor in series with
the synchronous rectifier. Alternatively, the synchronous
rectifier itself can be used for less-accurate current
sensing at the lowest possible power dissipation. A
high-output impedance in shutdown eliminates nega-
tive output voltages, saving the cost of a Schottky diode
on the output.
Range
♦ 2V to 28V Battery Input Range
♦ 200/300/450/600kHz Switching Frequency
♦ Adjustable Overvoltage Protection
♦ Adjustable Undervoltage Protection
♦ 1.7ms Digital Soft-Start
♦ Drives Large Synchronous-Rectifier FETs
♦ 2V 1% Reference Output
♦ Power-Good Window Comparator

Single-stage buck conversion allows the MAX8764 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 a higher switching frequency allows the mini-
mum possible physical size.

Note 1: When the inductor is in continuous conduction, the output voltage has a DC regulation level higher than the error compara-
tor threshold by 50% of the ripple. In discontinuous conduction (SKIP = GND, light load), the output voltage has a DC regu-
lation level higher than the trip level by approximately 1.5% due to slope compensation.
Note 2: On-time and off-time specifications are measured from 50% point to 50% point at the DH pin with LX = GND, V
= 5V,
BST
and a 250pF capacitor connected from DH to LX. Actual in-circuit times may differ due to MOSFET switching speeds.
Note 3: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
Note 4: Production testing limitations due to package handling require relaxed maximum on-resistance specifications for the thin
QFN package. The MAX8764EEP and MAX8764ETP contain the same die and the thin QFN package imposes no additional
resistance in-circuit.

Detailed Description
The MAX8764 requires an external 5V bias supply in
addition to the battery. Typically, this 5V bias supply is
the notebook’s 95% efficient 5V system supply. Keeping
the bias supply external to the IC improves efficiency
and eliminates the cost associated with the 5V linear reg-
ulator 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 exter-
nal linear regulator such as the MAX1615.
The MAX8764 buck controller is targeted for low-voltage
power supplies for notebook computers. Maxim’s propri-
etary Quick-PWM pulse-width modulator in the MAX8764
is specifically designed for handling fast load steps while
maintaining a relatively constant operating frequency
and inductor operating point over a wide range of input
voltages. The Quick-PWM architecture circumvents the
poor load-transient timing problems of fixed-frequency,
current-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.
The battery and 5V bias inputs can be connected
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

where K (switching period) is set by the TON pin-strap
connection (Table 4), and 0.075V is an approximation to
accommodate for the expected drop across the low-side
MOSFET switch. One-shot timing error increases for the
shorter on-time settings due to fixed propagation delays;
it is approximately 12.5% at 600kHz and 450kHz, and
10% at the two slower settings. This translates to
reduced switching-frequency accuracy at higher frequen-
cies (Table 5). Switching frequency increases as a func-
tion of load current due to the increasing drop across the
low-side MOSFET, which causes a faster inductor-current
discharge ramp. The on-times guaranteed in the
Electrical Characteristics are influenced by switching
delays in the external high-side power MOSFET.

width is inversely proportional to input voltage and directly
proportional to output voltage. Another one-shot sets a
minimum off-time (400ns typ). The on-time, one-shot is
triggered if the error comparator is low, the low-side switch
current is below the current-limit threshold, and the mini-
mum off-time, one-shot has timed out.
Two external factors that influence switching-frequency
accuracy are resistive drops in the two conduction loops
(including inductor and PC board resistance) and the
dead-time effect. These effects are the largest contribu-
tors to the change of frequency with changing load cur-
rent. The dead-time effect increases the effective
on-time, reducing the switching frequency as one or
both dead times are added to the effective on-time. It
occurs only in PWM mode (SKIP = high) when the induc-
tor current reverses at light or negative load currents.
With reversed inductor current, the inductor’s EMF caus-
es LX to go high earlier than normal, extending the on-
time by a period equal to the low-to-high dead time.
On-Time One-Shot (TON)
The heart of the PWM core is the one-shot that sets the
high-side switch on-time. This fast, low-jitter, adjustable
one-shot includes circuitry that varies the on-time in
response to battery and output voltage. The high-side
switch on-time is inversely proportional to the battery
voltage as measured by the V+ input, and proportional
to the output voltage. This algorithm results in a nearly
constant switching frequency despite the lack of a fixed-
frequency clock generator. The benefits of a constant
switching frequency are twofold: first, the frequency can
be selected to avoid noise-sensitive regions such as the
455kHz IF band; second, the inductor ripple-current
operating point remains relatively constant, resulting in
For loads above the critical conduction point, the actual

noise vs. light-load efficiency are made by varying the
inductor value. Generally, low inductor values produce a
broader efficiency vs. load curve, while higher values
result in higher full-load efficiency (assuming that the coil
resistance remains fixed) and less output voltage ripple.
Penalties for using higher inductor values include larger

Automatic Pulse-Skipping Switchover
In skip mode (SKIP low), an inherent automatic
switchover to PFM takes place at light loads (Table 3).
This switchover is affected by a comparator that trun-
cates the low-side switch on-time at the inductor current’s
zero crossing. This mechanism causes the threshold
between pulse-skipping PFM and nonskipping PWM
operation to coincide with the boundary between continu-
ous and discontinuous inductor-current operation (also
known as the “critical conduction” point; see the
Continuous-to-Discontinuous Inductor Current vs. Input
Voltage graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
In low-duty-cycle applications, this threshold is relatively
constant, with only a minor dependence on battery
voltage.
DC output accuracy specifications refer to the threshold
of the error comparator. When the inductor is in continu-
ous conduction, the output voltage has a DC regulation
level higher than the trip level by 50% of the ripple. In
discontinuous conduction (SKIP = GND, light load), the
output voltage has a DC regulation level higher than the
error-comparator threshold by approximately 1.5% due
to slope compensation.
Forced-PWM Mode (SKIP = High)
The low-noise, forced-PWM mode (SKIP = high) disables
the zero-crossing comparator, which controls the low-
side switch on-time. This causes the low-side gate-drive
waveform to become the complement of the high-side
gate-drive waveform. This in turn causes the inductor
current to reverse at light loads while DH maintains a

The internal pulldown transistor that drives DL low is

MOSFET. However, for high-current applications, there
are still some combinations of high- and low-side FETs
that will cause excessive gate-drain coupling, which can
lead to efficiency-killing, EMI-producing, shoot-through
currents. This is often remedied by adding a resistor in

stored in the LC tank circuit (see the output overvoltage
waveforms in the Typical Operating Characteristics). If
the load cannot tolerate being forced to a negative volt-
age, it may be desirable to place a power Schottky
diode across the output to act as a reverse-polarity

trade-offs between size vs. efficiency. Low inductor
values cause large ripple currents, resulting in the
smallest size, but poor efficiency and high output rip-

causes the circuit to operate at the edge of critical
conduction (where the inductor current just touches
zero with every cycle at maximum load). Inductor val-

These four factors impact the component selection
process. Selecting components and calculating their
effect on the MAX8764’s operation is best done with a
spreadsheet. Using the formulas provided, calculate the
LIR (the ratio of the inductor ripple current to the
designed maximum load current) for both the minimum
and maximum input voltages. Maintaining an LIR within a
20% to 50% range is recommended. The use of a
spreadsheet allows quick evaluation of component
selection.
Most inductor manufacturers provide inductors in stan-
dard values, such as 1.0µH, 1.5µH, 2.2µH, 3.3µH, etc.
Also look for nonstandard values, which can provide a
better compromise in LIR across the input voltage range.
If using a swinging inductor (where the no-load induc-
tance decreases linearly with increasing current), evalu-
ate the LIR with properly scaled inductance values.

Setting the Current Limit
For most applications, set the MAX8764 current limit by
the following procedure:
For CPU core voltage converters and other applications
where the output is subject to violent load transients, the
output capacitor’s size depends on how much ESR is
needed to prevent the output from dipping too low under
a load transient. Ignoring the sag due to finite capaci-

Extremely cost-sensitive applications that do not
require high-accuracy current sensing can use the on-

the sense resistor by connecting CS to LX (Figure 8b).
The actual microfarad capacitance value required relates
to the physical size needed to achieve low ESR, as well
as to the chemistry of the capacitor technology. Thus, the
capacitor is usually selected by ESR and voltage rating
rather than by capacitance value (this is true of tantalums,
OS-CONs, and other electrolytics).

Stability is determined by the value of the ESR zero rela-
tive to the switching frequency. The point of instability is
given by the following equation:

For a typical 300kHz application, the ESR zero frequency
must be well below 95kHz, preferably below 50kHz.
For optimal circuit reliability, choose a capacitor that
has less than 10°C temperature rise at the peak ripple
current.
Tantalum and OS-CON capacitors in widespread use at
the time of publication have typical ESR zero frequencies
of 25kHz. In the design example used for inductor selec-

ripple is
P-P
60mV/2.7A = 22mΩ. Two 470µF/4V Kemet T510 low-ESR
tantalum capacitors in parallel provide 22mΩ (max) ESR.
Their typical combined ESR results in a zero at 27kHz,
well within the bounds of stability.
For maximum efficiency, choose a high-side MOSFET
(Q1) that has conduction losses equal to the switching
losses at the optimum battery voltage (15V). Check to
ensure that the conduction losses at minimum input
voltage do not exceed the package thermal limits or
violate the overall thermal budget. Check to ensure that
conduction losses plus switching losses at the maxi-
mum input voltage do not exceed the package ratings
or violate the overall thermal budget.
Do not put high-value ceramic capacitors directly across
the feedback sense point without taking precautions to
ensure stability. Large ceramic capacitors can have a
high ESR zero frequency and cause erratic, unstable
operation. However, it is easy to add enough series
resistance by placing the capacitors a couple of inches
downstream from the feedback sense point, which
should be as close as possible to the inductor.
Unstable operation manifests itself in two related but dis-
tinctly different ways: double-pulsing and fast-feedback
loop instability.
Choose a low-side MOSFET (Q2) that has the lowest
possible R , comes in a moderate to small pack-
DS(ON)
age (i.e., 8-pin SO), and is reasonably priced. Ensure
that the MAX8764 DL gate driver can drive Q2; in other
words, check that the gate is not pulled up by the high-
side switch turn on, due to parasitic drain-to-gate capac-
itance, causing crossconduction problems. Switching
losses are not an issue for the low-side MOSFET since it
is a zero-voltage switched device when used in the buck
topology.
Double-pulsing occurs due to noise on the output or
because the ESR is so low that there is not enough volt-
age ramp in the output voltage signal. This “fools” the
error comparator into triggering a new cycle immediately
after the 400ns minimum off-time period has expired.
Double-pulsing is more annoying than harmful, resulting
in nothing worse than increased output ripple. However,
it can indicate the possible presence of loop instability,
which is caused by insufficient ESR.
MOSFET Power Dissipation
Worst-case conduction losses occur at the duty factor
extremes. For the high-side MOSFET, the worst-case
power dissipation due to resistance occurs at minimum
battery voltage:
Loop instability can result in oscillations at the output
after line or load perturbations that can trip the overvolt-
age protection latch or cause the output voltage to fall
below the tolerance limit.
The easiest method for checking stability is to apply a
very fast zero-to-max load transient and carefully
observe the output voltage ripple envelope for over-
shoot and ringing. It can help to monitor simultaneously
the inductor current with an AC current probe. Do not

The output voltage adjust range for continuous-conduc-

When working with low input voltages, the duty-factor
limit must be calculated using worst-case values for on-
and off-times. Manufacturing tolerances and internal
propagation delays introduce an error to the TON K-
factor. This error is greater at higher frequencies (Table

4) Make the DC-DC controller ground connections as
shown in Figure 9. This diagram can be viewed as
having two separate ground planes: power ground,
where all the high-power components go; and an ana-
log ground plane for sensitive analog components.
The analog ground plane and power ground plane
must meet only at a single point directly at the IC.
PC Board Layout Guidelines
Careful PC board layout is critical to achieving low
switching losses and clean, stable operation. The switch-
ing power stage requires particular attention (Figure 9). If
possible, mount all power components on the top side of
the board, with their ground terminals flush against one
another. Follow these guidelines for good PC board lay-
out:
5) Connect the output power planes directly to the out-
put filter capacitor positive and negative terminals
with multiple vias. Place the entire DC-DC converter
circuit as close to the load as is practical.
• Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the
ground terminals. This practice is essential for stable,
jitter-free operation.
Pin Configurations
TOP VIEW
• Keep the power traces and load connections short.
This practice is essential for high efficiency. Using
thick copper PC boards (2oz vs. 1oz) can enhance
full-load efficiency by 1% or more. Correctly routing
PC board traces is a difficult task that must be
approached in terms of fractions of centimeters,
where a single milliohm of excess trace resistance
causes a measurable efficiency penalty.

• When trade-offs in trace lengths must be made, it is
