Product Summary

The MAX8743 is a dual pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller configured for step-down (buck) topologies that provides the high efficiency, excellent transient response, and high DC output accuracy necessary for stepping down high-voltage batteries to generate lowvoltage chipset and RAM power supplies in notebook computers. The CS_ inputs of the MAX8743 can be used with low-side sense resistors to provide accurate current limits or can be connected to LX_, using low-side MOSFETs as current-sense elements. The MAX8743 is used in Notebook Computers, CPU Core Supplies, Chipset/RAM Supplies as Low as 1V, 1.8V and 2.5V I/O Supplies.
