The MAX8811EEE+ from Maxim Integrated Products is a high speed, dual phase driver with integrated boost diodes in 16 pin QSOP package. This 2-phase gate driver controls power MOSFETs in multiphase synchronous step-down converter applications, providing up to 30A output current per phase. The MAX8811 multiphase power-supply controller) combine to provide an efficient, low cost solution for a wide range of multiphase power supply applications. Adaptive shoot through protection circuitry is implemented to prevent shoot through currents for high side off to low side on transition. A programmable delay is provided for low side off to high side on transition. This maximizes overall converter efficiency while supporting operation with variety of MOSFETs. The MAX8811 provides an easy upgrade path from MAX8523 dual driver. It is used in processor core voltage regulators, multiphase buck converters, voltage regulator modules, switching power supplies and DC to DC converter modules.
