The MAX17501 high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronous
step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs
operates over a 4.5V to 60V input voltage range. It deliv-
ers output currents up to 500mA at output voltages of

The device features peak-current-mode control with
pulse-width modulation (PWM). Users can choose devic-
es with either pulse frequency modulation (PFM) or forced
PWM scheme. PFM devices skip pulses at light load for
higher efficiency, while forced-PWM devices operate with
fixed switching frequency at any load for noise sensi-
tive-applications. The low-resistance, on-chip MOSFETs
ensure high efficiency at full load and simplify the layout.

A programmable soft-start feature allows users to reduce
input inrush current. The device also incorporates an
output enable/undervoltage lockout pin (EN/UVLO) that
allows the user to turn on the part at the desired input-
voltage level. An open-drain RESET pin provides a
delayed power-good signal to the system upon achieving
successful regulation of the output voltage.
