6mm) 16-Pin QSOP
Package
The MAX8523 dual-phase gate driver, along with the
MAX8524*/MAX8525 multiphase controllers, provides
flexible 2- to 8-phase CPU core-voltage supplies. The
0.5鈩?0.95鈩?driver resistance allows up to 30A output
current per phase.
Each MOSFET driver in the MAX8523 is capable of dri-
ving 3000pF capacitive loads with only 15ns propaga-
tion delay and 11ns typical rise and fall times, allowing
operations up to 1.2MHz per phase. Adaptive dead
time controls low-side MOSFET turn-on, and user-pro-
grammable dead time controls high-side MOSFET turn-
on. This maximizes converter efficiency while allowing
operation with a variety of MOSFETs and controller ICs.
An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit allows proper
power-on sequencing. PWM_ signal inputs are both
TTL and CMOS compatible.
The MAX8523 is available in a space-saving 16-pin QSOP
package, and specified for -40擄C to +85擄C operation.
