MAX17521
60V, 1A, Dual-Output, High-Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Reduces External Components and Total Cost
• No Schottky—Synchronous Operation
• All-Ceramic Capacitors, Compact Layout
The MAX17521 dual-output, high-efficiency, high-voltage,
synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated
MOSFETs operates over a 4.5V to 60V input. The converter
can deliver up to 1A at each output. Each output is
programmable from 0.9V to 92%V . The feedback voltage
regulation accuracy over -40°C to +125°C is ±1.7%.
● Reduces Number of DC-DC Regulators to Stock
IN
• Wide 4.5V to 60V Input
• Each Output Adjustable From 0.9V to 92%V
IN
• Pin-Selectable 560kHz or 300kHz Switching
The MAX17521 uses peak-current-mode control. Each
output can be operated in the pulse-width modulation
(PWM) or pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) control
schemes.
Frequency
• Independent Input Voltage Pin for Each Output
● Reduces Power Dissipation
• Peak Efficiency > 90%
• PFM Mode Enables Enhanced Light-Load Effi-
ciency
The MAX17521 is available in a 24-pin (4mm x 5mm)
TQFN package. Simulation models are available.
• 1μA Shutdown Current
