General Description
   The MAX17582 is a 2-/1-phase-interleaved QuickPWM™ step-down VID power-supply controller for notebook CPUs. True out-of-phase operation reduces input-ripple-current requirements and output-voltage ripple, while easing component selection and layout difficulties. The Quick-PWM control provides instantaneous response to fast load-current steps. Active voltage positioning reduces power dissipation and bulk output capacitance requirements and allows ideal positioning compensation for tantalum, polymer, or ceramic bulk output capacitors.
