Single Power-Management Solution For AMD\\\'s Serial VID Interface (SVI) CPU And Northbridge (NB) Core Supplies

The MAX17080 is a triple-output, Step-down fixed-frequency controller for AMD's serial VID Interface (SVI) CPU and northbridge (NB) core supplies. The MAX17080 consists of two high-current SMPSs for the CPU cores and one 3A internal Switch SMPS for the NB core. The two CPU core SMPSs run 180° out-of-phase for true interleaved operation, minimizing input capacitance. The 3A internal Switch SMPS runs at twice the switching frequency of the core SMPS, reducing the size of the external components. By Maxim Integrated Products
