MAX8796GTJ+T

Overview

The MAX8796GTJ+T is a single-phase Quick-PWM controller designed for Intel IMVP-6 and GMCH processor power supplies. It operates from a 2V to 26V input range with a fixed switching frequency of 600 kHz. The device supports VID-based voltage regulation and includes integrated features such as soft-start, undervoltage lockout, and thermal shutdown. Packaged in a 32-TQFN (5x5 mm) surface-mount format, it functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Implements Quick-PWM architecture for rapid transient response
• Supports Intel IMVP-6 and GMCH VID protocols
• Integrates comprehensive protection mechanisms including thermal shutdown

Applications

• Intel Core processor core voltage regulation
• GMCH power supply design
• Single-phase step-down VRM applications

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to limited availability status. Confirm the specific suffix designation matches project requirements. Review current lifecycle status as distribution may be restricted or subject to factory special orders. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for moisture sensitivity level constraints during storage and handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Select this controller for designs requiring compatibility with Intel IMVP-6 specifications. Evaluate the 600 kHz switching frequency against inductor size and efficiency targets. Consider the 32-TQFN package for thermal performance and board space constraints. Verify that the input voltage range aligns with the system's available power rails.
