MAX8796GTJ+TG1D

Overview

The MAX8796GTJ+TG1D is a single-phase step-down VID power-supply controller designed for Intel IMVP-6 and IMVP-6+ processor voltage regulation. It utilizes Quick-PWM technology to control the output voltage based on VID codes. The device operates with an input voltage range of 2V to 26V and supports a switching frequency of 600 kHz. It features a TQFN-32 package (5x5 mm) with exposed pad, suitable for surface-mount installation. The operational temperature range spans from -40°C to +105°C. This component integrates shutdown functionality and is part of the MAX8796 series.

Feature Summary

• Implements Quick-PWM control architecture for rapid transient response in processor core voltage regulation
• Directly interfaces with Intel IMVP-6 and IMVP-6+ VID code inputs for precise voltage setting
• Provides integrated shutdown capability for power management efficiency

Applications

• Intel IMVP-6 processor voltage regulation modules
• Intel IMVP-6+ processor voltage regulation modules
• Single-phase DC-DC converter designs for CPU cores

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as supply may be restricted or discontinued. Confirm that the ordering suffix corresponds to tape-and-reel packaging if required by automated assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the 32-TQFN footprint and thermal pad requirements. Check for any specific environmental compliance documentation such as RoHS3 certification prior to final procurement authorization.

Selection Notes

Select this controller when designing for Intel IMVP-6 or IMVP-6+ platforms requiring a single-phase solution. Consider the 600 kHz switching frequency for balancing efficiency and passive component size. Evaluate the 2V to 26V input range against system power rail specifications. Verify that the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range meets the application's thermal environment constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX8796 series of power supply controllers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It is categorized under switching controllers within the PMIC family. The part serves as a specialized interface between processor VID signals and power stage drivers, distinct from general-purpose buck converters due to its specific protocol support for Intel mobile processor standards.
