Detailed Description
The MAX1964/MAX1965 power-supply controllers pro-
vide system power for cable and xDSL modems. The
main step-down DC-DC controller operates in a cur-
rent-mode pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control
scheme to ease compensation requirements and pro-
vide excellent load and line transient response.
The MAX1964 includes two analog gain blocks to regu-
late two additional positive auxiliary output voltages,
and the MAX1965 includes four analog gain blocks to
regulate three additional positive and one negative aux-
iliary output voltages. The positive regulator gain blocks
can be used to generate low voltage rails directly from
the main step-down converter or higher voltages using
coupled windings from the step-down converter. The
