General Description

The MAX17101 is a dual Quick-PWM™ step-down power-supply (SMPS) controller with synchronous rectification, intended for main 5V/3.3V power generation in battery-powered systems. Low-side MOSFET sensing provides a simple low-cost, highly efficient current sense for providing valley current-limit protection. Combined with the output overvoltage and undervoltage protection features, this current limit ensures robust output supplies.
