Product Summary

The MAX8744ETJ is a high-efficiency, quad-output, main power-supply controller for notebook computers. It is intended for main 5V/3.3V power generation in battery-powered systems. Fixed-frequency operation with optimal interleaving minimizes input ripple current from the lowest input voltages up to the 26V maximum input. Optimal 40/60 interleaving allows the input voltage to go down to 8.3V before duty-cycle overlap occurs, compared to 180° out-of-phase regulators where the duty-cycle overlap occurs when the input drops below 10V. Its applications include Main Power Supplies, 2 to 4 Li+ Cell Battery-Powered Devices, Notebook and Subnotebook Computers, PDAs and Mobile Communicators.
