MAX17515
5A, 2.4V to 5.5V Input,
High-Efficiency Power Module
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Complete Switch-Mode Power Supply in One
The MAX17515 is a fixed-frequency, step-down power
module in a thermally efficient system-in-package
(SiP) package that operates from a 2.4V to 5.5V input
supply voltage and supports output currents up to
5A. The device includes switch-mode power-supply
controller, dual nMOSFET power switches, a fully shielded
inductor, as well as compensation components. The device
supports 0.75V to 3.6V programmable output voltage.
The high level of integration significantly reduces design
complexity, manufacturing risks, and offers a true “plug-
and-play” power-supply solution, reducing the time to
market.

The device operates at a fixed 1MHz that requires
smaller input and output capacitor size. The internal fixed
constant gain at the error-amplifier output results in
output-voltage positioning with respect to the load
current. The fixed internal digital soft-start limits the input
inrush current at startup. The device also operates in
pulse-skipping mode at light loads to improve the light-
load efficiency.
