General Description
The MAX17411/MAX17511/MAX17511C/MAX17511N/MAX17511T are dual-output, step-down, constant on-time Quick-PWMK controllers for VR12/IMVP-7 CPU core supplies. The controllers consist of two high-current switching power supplies for CPU and GFX cores. The CPU regulator (regulator A) is a three-phase constant on-time architecture. The GFX regulator (regulator B) is also constant on-time architecture. The MAX17411 supports 2-phase operation and the MAX17511/MAX17511C/MAX17511N/MAX17511T support 1-phase operation. The MAX17411/MAX17511/MAX17511C/MAX17511N/MAX17511T include two internal drivers on regulator A and one internal driver on regulator B. External drivers such as the MAX17491 enable the additional phases
