The MAX1536ETI+ is a 3.6A, 1.4MHz, low voltage, internal-switch step down regulator with dynamic output voltage control in 28 pin TQFN package. The MAX1536 constant-off-time, pulse-width-modulated(PWM) step-down DC to DC converter is ideal for use in +5.0V and +3.3V to low voltages for notebook and subnotebook computers. The MAX1536 features an internal PMOS power switch and internal synchronous rectification for high efficiency and reduced component count. No external Schottky diode is required across the internal synchronous rectifier switch. The internal 54mohm PMOS power switch and 47mohm NMOS synchronous-rectifier switch easily deliver continuous load currents up to 3.6A. The MAX1536 produces dynamically adjustable output voltages for chipsets and graphics processor cores using a logic-level control signal. The MAX1536 achieves efficiencies as high as 96%.
