General Description
The MAX8760 is a dual-phase, Quick-PWM™, stepdown controller for 6-bit VID AMD Mobile Turion™ 64 CPU core supplies. Dual-phase operation reduces input ripple current requirements and output voltage ripple while easing component selection and layout difficulties. The Quick-PWM control scheme provides instantaneous response to fast-load current steps. The MAX8760 includes active voltage positioning with adjustable gain and offset, reducing power dissipation and bulk output capacitance requirements.
