Product details
Overview
The MAX1519ETL-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-phase, Quick-PWM™ step-down controller designed for Pentium® 4 CPU core power supplies in mobile and desktop platforms. It delivers ±0.75% output voltage accuracy at 1.3V, supports 4V–28V battery input, and features active voltage positioning with adjustable gain/offset to reduce bulk capacitance. It operates in single- or dual-phase modes with selectable switching frequencies up to 550kHz.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1519ETL-T datasheet, MAX1519ETL-T pinout, MAX1519ETL-T application, or MAX1519ETL-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-phase Quick-PWM architecture, programmable suspend voltage (0.675V–1.45V), integrated 5-bit DAC for VID code decoding, and thermal/overvoltage/undervoltage protection with VROK status output.
Technical Context
The MAX1519ETL-T implements a dual-phase interleaved Quick-PWM control scheme with independent on-time generation per phase, enabling instantaneous response to fast load transients (e.g., 10A→50A in <20µs). Its voltage-positioning amplifier accepts OFS and GNDS inputs to dynamically adjust output voltage based on load current, reducing required output capacitance by up to 50% versus fixed-output controllers.
It integrates four-level logic inputs (TON, S0–S1) and five-bit VID inputs (D0–D4) to configure operating frequency (100/200/300/550kHz), suspend voltage, and nominal core voltage (0.60V–1.75V for mobile, 1.10V–1.85V for desktop). Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting with ±30mV threshold accuracy, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and blanked VROK fault reporting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Dual-phase synchronous buck controller - enables interleaved operation to halve input ripple current and reduce output voltage ripple by √2. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.60V–1.75V (mobile), 1.10V–1.85V (desktop) - set via 5-bit VID inputs D0–D4; supports dynamic voltage scaling for P4 CPU power management. |
| DC Accuracy | ±0.75% at 1.3V over line/load/temperature - ensures stable CPU core voltage under worst-case conditions without external calibration. |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 100/200/300/550kHz via TON pin - higher frequencies allow smaller inductors; lower frequencies improve light-load efficiency in pulse-skipping mode. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V–28V on V+ pin - supports direct battery stepping (e.g., 3-cell Li-ion) or 5V system rail conversion for flexible notebook power architecture. |
| Protection Features | Output OVP/UVP, thermal shutdown, VROK status flag, and current-limit fault detection - shuts down on fault and blanks VROK for 24 RTIME cycles during transitions. |
| Package | 40-pin thin QFN, 6mm × 6mm - low-profile footprint optimized for high-density notebook PCB layouts with exposed thermal pad. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1519ETL-T is housed in a 40-pin, 6mm × 6mm thin QFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 40 = PGND). The package supports high-power dissipation (1.86W at +70°C) and requires solder reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 TIME | Slew-rate clock setting | Resistor to GND sets internal slew-rate clock (100kHz–1MHz); determines soft-start/soft-shutdown ramp rate and VROK blanking timing. |
| 2 TON | On-time selection | Four-level input (GND/REF/open/VCC) selects K-factor for DH_ on-time: 550/300/200/100kHz nominal switching frequency. |
| 3 SUS | Suspend mode enable | Three-level input (GND/REF/high) selects voltage source: D0–D4 (normal), S0–S1 (suspend), overriding DAC output during state transitions. |
| 4–5 S0, S1 | Suspend voltage code | Four-level digital inputs selecting 0.675V–1.45V suspend voltage via internal multiplexer; used only when SUS ≠ GND. |
| 6 SHDN | Shutdown control | Active-low input; GND forces 1µA shutdown, ramps output down at 4× programmed slew rate; 12–15V disables protections for debug. |
| 7 OFS | Offset voltage control | Analog input adjusting output offset: 0–0.8V subtracts 0.125×VOFS; 1.2–2.0V adds 0.125×(VREF−VOFS); undefined 0.8–1.2V range. |
| 8 REF | 2.000V reference output | Stable 2V reference (±10mV) sourcing 100µA; must be bypassed with ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor for DAC and error amp stability. |
| 9 ILIM | Current-limit threshold | Adjusts current-sense threshold: tied to VCC = 30mV default; 0.2–1.5V input yields precise 1/20×VILIM threshold (7–77mV range). |
| 10–14 D0–D4 | VID code inputs | Five-bit parallel interface setting nominal output voltage (0.60–1.75V); decoded by on-chip 5-bit DAC for closed-loop regulation. |
| 15 VROK | Power-good status | Open-drain output asserting high when FB is within ±7% to ±13% of DAC-set voltage; 0.4V max low-level voltage at 3mA sink. |
| 16–19 DHM, DLM, DHS, DLS | High-/low-side gate drivers | Four dedicated outputs driving external N-channel MOSFET gates; DHx sourced/sunk at 1.6A/4A, RON = 1.0Ω/0.4Ω typical. |
| 20–23 CMP, CMN, CSP, CSN | Current-sense differential inputs | Two isolated current-sense channels (phase 1: CMP/CMN; phase 2: CSP/CSN) with ±30mV threshold accuracy and 2µA input bias. |
| 24–27 V+, VCC, VDD, GND | Power supply rails | V+ (4–28V battery), VCC/VDD (4.5–5.5V logic), GND (signal ground); UVLO at 4.25V on VCC disables PWM. |
| 28–31 FB, OAIN+, OAIN-, CODE | Feedback and amplifier I/O | FB connects to resistor divider; OAIN+/OAIN− interface with external voltage-positioning op-amp; CODE is unused (no-connect). |
| 32–39 BSTM, BSTS, LXM, LXS, GNDS, CCV, CCI, CSN | Bootstrap, inductor, and compensation | BSTx drives high-side gate bootstrap; LXx connects to inductor switch nodes; GNDS is current-sense ground; CCV/CCI set compensation. |
| 40 PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for MOSFET sources and sense resistors; separate from signal GND to minimize noise coupling into feedback. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-phase buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1545ETL-T | Pin-compatible variant with integrated output overvoltage protection (OVP) - MAX1519ETL-T lacks OVP circuitry. | Required in systems mandating hardware OVP for safety-critical CPU power rails; otherwise identical functionality and pinout. | Select MAX1545ETL-T when OVP is required; MAX1519ETL-T is preferred for cost-sensitive designs where OVP is handled externally. |
| MAX1544ETL-T | Pin-compatible controller targeting Pentium M and Celeron M CPUs; narrower output range (0.70V–1.50V) and no suspend-mode inputs (S0/S1). | Designed for lower-power mobile CPUs without S0–S1 state transitions; lacks suspend voltage programming capability. | Choose MAX1544ETL-T for Pentium M/Celeron M platforms; MAX1519ETL-T is mandatory for full P4 S0–S1 compliance. |
Compared with MAX1545ETL-T and MAX1544ETL-T, the MAX1519ETL-T provides the broadest output range (0.60V–1.75V) and full Intel P4 suspend-mode support, but omits integrated OVP - making it optimal for cost-constrained P4 notebooks where external OVP suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the MAX1519ETL-T?
The MAX1519ETL-T supports an input voltage range of 4V to 28V on its V+ pin. This wide range enables direct battery stepping in notebook applications (e.g., 3-cell Li-ion at 12.6V max) and compatibility with 5V intermediate bus architectures. Absolute maximum rating is +30V, but operation above 28V is not guaranteed and may damage the device.
Does the MAX1519ETL-T include built-in output overvoltage protection?
No, the MAX1519ETL-T does not include integrated output overvoltage protection (OVP). That feature is present only in the pin-compatible MAX1545ETL-T variant. The MAX1519ETL-T relies on external OVP circuitry or system-level monitoring for overvoltage fault handling, while retaining undervoltage, thermal, and current-limit protection.
How does the MAX1519ETL-T implement active voltage positioning?
The MAX1519ETL-T implements active voltage positioning through its voltage-positioning amplifier, which accepts OFS and GNDS inputs. It adjusts output voltage downward under increasing load current - typically by 10–20mV/A - to maintain constant power delivery and reduce required output capacitance by up to 50% compared to fixed-voltage regulators.
What is the purpose of the TIME pin on the MAX1519ETL-T?
The TIME pin on the MAX1519ETL-T sets the internal slew-rate clock frequency by connecting an external resistor to GND. This clock governs soft-start/soft-shutdown ramp rates, VROK fault-blanking duration (24 clock cycles), and transient response timing. A 15kΩ resistor yields ~1MHz; 150kΩ yields ~100kHz, allowing design flexibility for different ramp requirements.
Can the MAX1519ETL-T operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, the MAX1519ETL-T supports selectable single-phase or dual-phase operation via the SKIP pin. When SKIP = GND, it enters single-phase pulse-skipping mode for improved light-load efficiency. In dual-phase mode (SKIP = VCC or REF), it interleaves two phases to reduce input/output ripple and thermal stress on external components.
