MAX17079GTL+G0Y

Overview

The MAX17079GTL+G0Y is a specialized power management integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It functions as a dedicated controller for AMD SVI (Serial Voltage Interface) systems, designed to manage multiple output rails with high precision. The device operates within an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and provides three independent output channels. Each output can be regulated between 0.013V and 1.55V, allowing for fine-grained voltage control required by modern processors. The component is rated for industrial operating temperatures from -40°C to +105°C and is housed in a 40-pin WFQFN package suitable for surface mount assembly.

Feature Summary

• Supports AMD SVI protocol for direct processor communication
• Integrates three independent voltage regulation outputs
• Enables precise voltage adjustment via digital interface

Applications

• AMD CPU voltage regulation modules
• Server motherboard power delivery systems
• High-performance computing platform design

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix G0Y against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm pinout and thermal pad configuration. Ensure compatibility with the specific AMD processor generation requiring SVI support. Check for obsolescence status as Maxim products may have lifecycle changes. Confirm RoHS compliance markings on the physical component match the datasheet specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component only when designing for AMD platforms utilizing the SVI interface standard. Compare against the MAX17080 series if additional outputs or different packaging are required. Evaluate thermal performance requirements given the 40-WFQFN package constraints. Ensure the system architecture supports the necessary digital control signals for SVI operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated line of specialized power management ICs acquired by Analog Devices. It is closely related to the MAX17080 series, which shares similar SVI functionality but may differ in output count or package type. These components are critical for managing power integrity in complex electronic systems requiring dynamic voltage scaling.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX17080GTL+T is a documented alternative within the same product family offering similar SVI capabilities. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and software register mapping before substitution. Consult official cross-reference guides for any functional differences in output configurations.
