MAX17502
60V, 1A, Ultra-Small, High-Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
General Description
Benefits and Features
S Eliminate External Components and Reduce Total
Cost
The MAX17502 high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchro-
nous step-down DC-DC converter operates over a 4.5V
to 60V input voltage range and is designed for a wide
range of applications. The ultra-wide-input operation
makes it ideal for not only industrial control and build-
ing automation, but also base stations, telecom, home
entertainment, and automotive applications. It delivers
output currents up to 1A, at output voltages of 3.3V and
5V. The output voltage is accurate within Q1.6% over
temperature. The device operates over the -40NC to
+125NC industrial temperature range and is available in
a tiny, 10-pin (3mm x 2mm) TDFN lead(Pb)-free package
with an exposed pad.
The device features peak-current-mode control with
pulse-width modulation (PWM). The PWM operation
ensures constant switching frequency at all operat-
ing conditions. The low-resistance, on-chip, pMOS/
nMOS switches ensure high efficiency at full load while
minimizing the critical inductances, making the layout a
much simpler task compared to discrete solutions.
The device offers fixed switching frequency of 600kHz.
To reduce input inrush current, the device offers an
adjustable voltage soft-start feature with an external
capacitor from the SS pin to ground. 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 sys-
tem upon achieving successful regulation of the output
voltage. The device supports hiccup-mode current-limit
protection for low power dissipation under overload and
output short-circuit conditions.
