Features
The MAX8632 integrates a synchronous-buck PWM controller to generate VDDQ, a sourcing and sinking LDO linear regulator to generate VTT, and a 10mA reference
output buffer to generate VTTR. The buck controller drives two external n-channel MOSFETs to generate output
voltages down to 0.7V from a 2V to 28V input with output
currents up to 15A. The LDO can sink or source up to
1.5A continuous and 3A peak current. Both the LDO output and the 10mA reference buffer output can be made
to track the REFIN voltage. These features make the
MAX8632 ideally suited for DDR memory applications in
desktops, notebooks, and graphic cards.
The PWM controller in the MAX8632 utilizes Maxim’s
proprietary Quick-PWM™ architecture with programmable switching frequencies of up to 600kHz. This control
scheme handles wide input/output voltage ratios with
ease and provides 100ns response to load transients
while maintaining high efficiency and a relatively constant switching frequency. The MAX8632 offers fully programmable UVP/OVP and skip-mode options ideal in
portable applications. Skip mode allows for improved
efficiency at lighter loads.
The VTT and VTTR outputs track to within 1% of VREFIN / 2.
The high bandwidth of this LDO regulator allows excellent transient response without the need for bulk capacitors, thus reducing cost and size.

The buck controller and LDO regulators are provided with
independent current limits. Adjustable lossless foldback
current limit for the buck regulator is achieved by monitoring the drain-to-source voltage drop of the low-side
MOSFET. Additionally, overvoltage and undervoltage protection mechanisms are built in. Once the overcurrent
condition is removed, the regulator is allowed to enter
soft-start again. This helps minimize power dissipation
during a short-circuit condition. The MAX8632 allows flexible sequencing and standby power management using
the SHDN and STBY inputs, which support all DDR
operating states.
The MAX8632 is available in a small 5mm × 5mm, 28pin thin QFN package.

where ILIM(VAL) equals the minimum valley current-limit
threshold voltage divided by the on-resistance of Q2
(RDS(ON)Q2). For the 50mV default setting, connect ILIM
to AVDD. In adjustable mode, the valley current-limit
threshold is precisely 1/10th* the voltage seen at ILIM.
For an adjustable threshold, connect a resistive divider
from REF to GND with ILIM connected to the center tap.
The external 250mV to 2V adjustment range corresponds
to a 25mV to 200mV valley current-limit threshold. When
adjusting the current limit, use 1% tolerance resistors and
a divider current of approximately 10µA to prevent significant inaccuracy in the valley current-limit tolerance.
Foldback Current Limit
Alternately, foldback current limit can be implemented
if the UVP latch option is not available. Foldback current limit reduces the power dissipation of external
components so they can withstand indefinite overload
and short circuit, with automatic recovery after the overload or short circuit is removed. To implement foldback
current limit, connect a resistor from VOUT to ILIM (R6
in Figures 7 and 8), in addition to the resistor-divider
*In the negative direction, the adjustable current limit is typically
-1/8th the voltage seen at ILIM.

The following is a procedure for calculating the value of
R4, R5, and R6:
1) Calculate the voltage, VILIM(NOM), required at ILIM
when the output voltage is at nominal:
LIR
VILIM(NOM) = 10 × ILOAD(MAX) × 1
2
× RDS(ON)Q2
VILIM(0V) = PFB × VILIM(NOM)
4) The value for R4 can be calculated as:
2V - VILIM(0V)

5) The parallel combination of R5 and R6, denoted
R56, is calculated as:

Boost-Supply Diode and
Capacitor Selection (Buck)
A low-current Schottky diode, such as the CMDSH-3
from Central Semiconductor, works well for most applications. Do not use large-power diodes, because higher junction capacitance can charge up the voltage at
BST to the LX voltage and this exceeds the absolute
maximum rating of 6V. The boost capacitor should be
0.1µF to 4.7µF, depending on the input and output voltages, external components, and PC board layout. The
boost capacitance should be as large as possible to
prevent it from charging to excessive voltage, but small
enough to adequately charge during the minimum lowside MOSFET conduction time, which happens at maximum operating duty cycle (this occurs at minimum
input voltage). In addition, ensure that the boost capacitor does not discharge to below the minimum gate-tosource voltage required to keep the high-side MOSFET
fully enhanced for lowest on-resistance. This minimum
gate-to-source voltage (VGS(MIN)) is determined by:
VGS(MIN) = VDD x

Transient Response (Buck)
The inductor ripple current also affects transientresponse performance, especially at low VIN - VOUT differentials. Low inductor values allow the inductor
current to slew faster, replenishing charge removed
from the output filter capacitors by a sudden load step.
The output sag is also a function of the maximum duty
factor, which can be calculated from the on-time and
minimum off-time:

Applications Information
Dropout Performance (Buck)
The output-voltage adjustable range for continuousconduction operation is restricted by the nonadjustable
minimum off-time one-shot. For best dropout performance, use the slower (200kHz) on-time setting. When
working with low input voltages, the duty-factor limit
must be calculated using worst-case values for on- and
off-times. Manufacturing tolerances and internal propagation delays introduce an error to the TON K-factor.
This error is greater at higher frequencies (see Table
1). Also, keep in mind that transient-response performance of buck regulators operated too close to
dropout is poor, and bulk output capacitance must
often be added (see the VSAG equation in the Design
Procedure section).
The absolute point of dropout is when the inductor current ramps down during the minimum off-time (∆IDOWN)
as much as it ramps up during the on-time (∆IUP). The
ratio h = ∆IUP / ∆IDOWN indicates the controller’s ability
to slew the inductor current higher in response to
increased load, and must always be greater than 1. As
h approaches 1, the absolute minimum dropout point,
the inductor current cannot increase as much during
each switching cycle, and V SAG greatly increases,
unless additional output capacitance is used.
A reasonable minimum value for h is 1.5, but adjusting
this up or down allows trade-offs between VSAG, output
capacitance, and minimum operating voltage. For a
given value of h, the minimum operating voltage can be
calculated as:
VOUT + VDROP1
VIN(MIN) =
+ VDROP2 - VDROP1
h × t OFF(MIN)
1
K
where VDROP1 and VDROP2 are the parasitic voltage
drops in the discharge and charge paths (see the OnTime One-Shot (TON) section), tOFF(MIN) is from the
Electrical Characteristics, and K is taken from Table 1.
The absolute minimum input voltage is calculated with
h = 1.
If the calculated VIN(MIN) is greater than the required
minimum input voltage, then the operating frequency
must be reduced or output capacitance added to
obtain an acceptable VSAG. If operation near dropout is
anticipated, calculate V SAG to be sure of adequate
transient response.
A dropout design example follows:
VOUT = 2.5V
fSW = 600kHz
K = 1.7µs
tOFF(MIN) = 450ns
VDROP1 = VDROP2 = 100mV
h = 1.5
VIN(MIN) =
1
2.5V + 0.1V
+ 0.1V - 0.1V = 4.3V
1.5 × 450ns
1.7µs
Voltage Positioning (Buck)
In applications where fast-load transients occur, the
output voltage changes instantly by RESR × COUT ×
∆ILOAD. Voltage positioning allows the use of fewer output capacitors for such applications, and maximizes
the output-voltage AC and DC tolerance window in
tight-tolerance applications.
Figure 9 shows the connection of OUT and FB in a voltage-positioned circuit. In nonvoltage-positioned circuits, the MAX8632 regulates at the output capacitor. In
voltage-positioned circuits, the MAX8632 regulates on
the inductor side of the voltage-positioning resistor.
VOUT is reduced to:
VOUT(VPS) = VOUT(NO _ LOAD) - RPOS × ILOAD
PC Board Layout Guidelines
Careful PC board layout is critical to achieve low
switching losses and clean, stable operation. The
switching power stage requires particular attention. If
possible, mount all the power components on the top
side of the board, with their ground terminals flush
against one another. Follow these guidelines for good
PC board layout:
• Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the
ground terminals. This practice is essential for stable, jitter-free operation.
• Keep the power traces and load connections short.
This practice is essential for high efficiency. Using

thick copper PC boards (2oz vs. 1oz) can enhance
full-load efficiency by 1% or more. Correctly routing
PC board traces is a difficult task that must be
approached in terms of fractions of centimeters,
where a single mΩ of excess trace resistance causes a measurable efficiency penalty.
The LX and PGND1 connections to the low-side
MOSFET for current sensing must be made using
Kelvin-sense connections.
When trade-offs in trace lengths must be made, it is
preferable to allow the inductor-charging path to be
made longer than the discharge path. For example,
it is better to allow some extra distance between the
input capacitors and the high-side MOSFET than to
allow distance between the inductor and the lowside MOSFET or between the inductor and the output filter capacitor.
Route high-speed switching nodes (BST, LX, DH,
and DL) away from sensitive analog areas (REF, FB,
and ILIM).
Input ceramic capacitors must be placed as close
as possible to the high-side MOSFET drain and the
low-side MOSFET source. Position the MOSFETs so
the impedance between the input capacitor terminals and the MOSFETs is as low as possible.
Special Layout Considerations for LDO Section
The capacitor (or capacitors) at VTT should be placed
as close to VTT and PGND2 (pins 12 and 11) as possible to minimize the series resistance/inductance of the
trace. The PGND2 side of the capacitor must be short
with a low-impedance path to the exposed pad underneath the IC. The exposed pad must be star-connected
to GND (pin 24) and PGND2 (pin 11). Connect PGND1
(pin 23) separately to the nearby PGND plane at the
source of the low-side MOSFET. Do not connect this
pin directly to the exposed pad as this can inject undesirable switching noise into the clean analog GND.
Instead, PGND1 (pin 23) is connected to PGND2 (pin
11) by the large PGND plane. A narrower trace can be
used to connect the output voltage on the VTT side of
the capacitor back to VTTS (pin 9). For best performance, the VTTI bypass capacitor must be placed as
close to VTTI (pin 13) as possible. REFIN (pin 14)
should be separately routed with a clean trace and
adequately bypassed to GND. Refer to the MAX8632
evaluation kit data sheet for PC board guidelines.
