MAX17410
The MAX17410 is a 2-/1-phase interleaved Quick-
PWM™ step-down VID power-supply controller for
notebook IMVP6+ CPUs. True out-of-phase operation
reduces input ripple current requirements and output
voltage ripple while easing component selection and
layout difficulties. The Quick-PWM control scheme pro-
vides instantaneous response to fast load current
steps. Active voltage positioning reduces power dissi-
pation and bulk output capacitance requirements and
allows ideal positioning compensation for tantalum,
polymer, or ceramic bulk output capacitors.
The MAX17410 is intended for two different CPU core
applications: either bucking down the battery directly to
create the core voltage, or bucking down the +5V sys-
tem supply. The single-stage conversion method allows
this device to directly step down high-voltage batteries
for the highest possible efficiency. Alternatively, 2-stage
conversion (stepping down the +5V system supply
instead of the battery) at higher switching frequency
provides the minimum possible physical size.
A slew-rate controller allows controlled transitions
between VID codes. A thermistor-based temperature
sensor provides programmable thermal protection. A
power monitor provides a buffered analog voltage out-
put proportional to the power delivered to the load.
The MAX17410 is available in a 48-pin, 7mm x 7mm
TQFN package.

may be forced to 12V for the purpose of debugging prototype breadboards using the no-fault test mode.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
