MAX17480GTL+

Overview

The MAX17480GTL+ is a triple-output, step-down, fixed-frequency controller designed for AMD's Serial VID Interface (SVI) CPU and northbridge core supplies. It operates within an input voltage range of 4V to 26V. The device features dynamic phase selection to optimize efficiency in both active and sleep modes. It supports independent or combined output configurations at power-up. Integrated protection mechanisms include overvoltage, undervoltage, and thermal safeguards.

Feature Summary

• Supports AMD Serial VID Interface for CPU and northbridge power management
• Dynamic phase selection optimizes operational and sleep mode efficiency
• Integrated overvoltage, undervoltage, and thermal protection circuits

Applications

• AMD mobile processor core voltage regulation
• Northbridge core supply control
• Portable system energy management

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to discontinuation status. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment prior to installation. Review the latest EOL notification for lifecycle constraints. Ensure compatibility with existing SVI protocol implementations. Validate thermal performance under maximum load conditions before deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this controller for applications requiring triple-output step-down conversion for AMD SVI architectures. Consider its dynamic phase capabilities for efficiency optimization. Evaluate the 4V to 26V input range against system power rails. Assess the TQFN-40 package for space-constrained designs. Verify support for independent or combined output modes based on circuit requirements.
