voltage. Built-in compensation across the output voltage
range eliminates the need for external components. The
feedback (FB) regulation accuracy over -40NC to +125NC
is ±1.1%. The device is available in a compact (4mm x
4mm) TQFN lead(Pb)-free package with an exposed pad.
Simulation models are available.

The device features a peak-current-mode control
architecture with a MODE feature that can be used to
operate the device in pulse-width modulation (PWM),
pulse-frequency modulation (PFM), or discontinuous-
conduction mode (DCM) control schemes. PWM operation
provides constant frequency operation at all loads, and is
useful in applications sensitive to switching frequency.
PFM operation disables negative inductor current and
additionally skips pulses at light loads for high efficiency.
DCM features constant frequency operation down to
lighter loads than PFM mode, by not skipping pulses but
only disabling negative inductor current at light loads.
DCM operation offers efficiency performance that lies
between PWM and PFM modes. The MAX17505S offers
a lower minimum on-time that allows for higher switching
frequencies and a smaller solution size.

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.
