EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX17290/MAX17292
2.5V to 36V, 2.5MHz, PWM Boost Controller
with 4µA Shutdown Current and Reduced EMI
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Reduces Solution Size and Cost
• All-Ceramic Capacitor Solution Allows Ultra-Compact
Solution Size
The MAX17290/MAX17292 high-efficiency, synchronous
step-up DC-DC controllers operate over a 4.5V to 36V
input voltage range with 42V input transient protection.
The input operating range can be extended to as low as
2.5V in Bootstrapped mode.
• 100kHz to 1MHz (MAX17290) and 1MHz to
2.5MHz (MAX17292) Switching-Frequency with
External Synchronization
The MAX17290 and MAX17292 use a constant-frequency,
pulse-width modulating (PWM), peak current-mode
control architecture. There are multiple versions of the
devices offering one or more of the following functions:
a synchronization output (SYNCO) for 180° out-of-phase
operation, an overvoltage protection function using a
separate input pin (OVP), and a reference input pin
(REFIN) to allow on-the-fly output voltage adjustment.
● Increases Design Flexibility
• Bootstrapped Mode Allows Input Voltage to be 2.5V
• Adjustable Slope Compensation
● Reduces Power Dissipation
• >90% Peak Efficiency
• Low 4μA (typ.) Shutdown Current
● Operates Reliably
The MAX17290 and MAX17292 operate in different
frequency ranges. All versions can be synchronized to an
external master clock using the FSET/SYNC input.
• 42V Input Voltage Transient Protection
• Fixed 9ms Internal Software Start Reduces Input
Inrush Current
• PGOOD Output and Hiccup Mode for Enhanced
System Protection
• Overtemperature Shutdown
• Reduced EMI Emission with Spread-Spectrum
Control
The devices are available in a compact 12-pin (3mm x
3mm) TQFN and 10-pin µMAX packages. Both packages
have exposed pads. -40°C to +85°C Operation.
