Dual, Low-
Voltage Linear Regulator Controllers with External
MOSFETs
General Description
The MAX8737 dual high-power linear regulator controllers use external n-channel
MOSFETs to generate two independent low-
voltage supplies for notebook computers.
The MAX8737 delivers low output
voltages from 0.
5V to 2.
5V (±5mV no-load accuracy).
The external components allow scalable current design with loads up to 5A with excellent load regulation (1%).
The regulator operates from a low input
voltage, which also reduces the power dissipation in the external n-channel
MOSFET.
The controller powers the external
MOSFET gate driver from the standard 5V ...
