16A High-Performance Quad-Phase Buck Regulator
for Multicore CPU and GPU Processors
MAX77874
General Description
Applications
● Smartphones, Tablets, Ultrabooks
● DSLR, Mirrorless, Action Cameras
● Gaming, Drones, Robots, Virtual Reality
The MAX77874 is a quad-phase, high-current, step-down
buck regulator for CPU and GPU multicore proces-
sors. Proprietary IP provides industry-leading transient
response, output voltage accuracy, high efficiency, and
miniature PCB footprint.
● AI, Machine Vision, Embedded Microprocessors

The output voltage is I C programmable from 0.25V to
1.30V in 5mV steps. Output current capability is 16A.
Rotational phase spreading ensures high efficiency and
low ripple at light loads with seamless operation across
all varying loads. Turbo skip mode combines the same
transient response of forced-PWM mode with light load
efficiency similar to Skip mode. Soft-start and DVS ramp
