MAX8796GTJ+G1D

Overview

The MAX8796GTJ+G1D is a single-phase step-down voltage regulator controller designed for Intel IMVP-6 and IMVP-6+ processor power supplies. It utilizes the Quick-PWM architecture to provide precise voltage regulation with fast transient response capabilities. The device operates within an input voltage range of 2V to 26V and supports VID-based control interfaces. It is housed in a 32-pin TQFN package with exposed pad, suitable for surface-mount applications operating between -40°C and +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Implements Quick-PWM technology for high-speed transient response and stable operation under varying load conditions
• Supports Intel IMVP-6 and IMVP-6+ specifications for accurate CPU core voltage regulation
• Integrates shutdown functionality for efficient power management and system standby modes

Applications

• Intel Core processor power delivery systems
• Mobile computing platform voltage regulation
• High-performance embedded system power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels due to limited supply status. Confirm package marking and datasheet revision compatibility before integration. Check for specific ordering suffix requirements if tape-and-reel packaging is required instead of tube. Ensure design-in documentation matches the exact GTJ+G1D variant specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this controller for applications requiring compliance with Intel IMVP-6/6+ standards. Evaluate thermal performance given the TQFN-32 package constraints. Compare against newer IMVP versions if future-proofing is necessary. Ensure external inductor and capacitor selections align with the 600kHz switching frequency requirements for optimal efficiency.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Maxim Integrated MAX8796 series of single-phase buck controllers. It is part of the broader portfolio of power management solutions for mobile processors. The series focuses on delivering high-efficiency power conversion with minimal component count for space-constrained portable devices.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible upgrades within the MAX8796 family. Verify functional equivalence with MAX8795 or MAX8797 variants if system requirements differ. Consult official substitution guides for any discontinued legacy parts.
