Low-Cost, Dual-Output, Step-Down
Controller with Fast Transient Response
MAX864
General Description
Features
The MAX8664 dual-output PWM controller is a low-cost,
high-performance solution for systems requiring dual
power supplies. It provides two individual outputs that
operate 180° out-of-phase to minimize input current
ripple, and therefore, capacitance requirements. Built-in
drivers are capable of driving external MOSFETs to
deliver up to 25A output current from each channel.
The MAX8664 operates from a 4.5V to 28V input volt-
age source and generates output voltages from 0.6V
up to 90% of the input voltage on each channel. Total
output regulation error is less than 0.8% over load,
line, and temperature.

The MAX8664 operates with a constant switching fre-
quency adjustable from 100kHz to 1MHz. Built-in boost
diodes reduce external component count. Digital soft-
start eliminates input inrush current during startup. The
second output has an optional external REFIN2, facili-
tating tracking supply applications. Each output is
capable of sourcing and sinking current, making the
device a great solution for DDR applications.

The MAX8664 employs Maxim’s proprietary peak volt-
age-mode control architecture that provides superior
transient response during either load or line transients.
This architecture is easily stabilized using two resistors
and one capacitor for any type of output capacitors. Fast
transient response requires less output capacitance,
consequently reducing total system cost. The MAX8664B
latches off both controllers during a fault condition, while
the MAX8664A allows one controller to continue to func-
tion when there is a fault in the other controller.
