Maxim MAX786 Dual-Output Power-Supply Controller Datasheet
The MAX786 is a system-engineered power-supply controller designed for notebook computers or similar battery-powered equipment. It provides two high-performance step-down (buck) pulse-width modulators (PWMs) for +3.3V and +5V outputs. The device also includes dual, low-dropout, micropower linear regulators for CMOS/RTC back-up and two precision low-battery-detection comparators.
