MAX17524
4.5V to 60V, Dual 3A, High-Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Reduces External Components and Total Cost
• No Schottky - Synchronous Operation
• Internal Compensation Components
The MAX17524 dual 3A, high-efficiency, high-voltage,
synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated
high-side MOSFETs operates over an input-voltage range
of 4.5V to 60V. The device can deliver up to 3A on each
output and generates output voltages from 0.9V up to
• All-Ceramic Capacitors, Compact Layout
● Reduces Number of DC-DC Regulators to Stock
• Wide 4.5V to 60V Input
90% of V . This device features internal compensation.

• Adjustable Output Range from 0.9V up to 90% of
The MAX17524 uses peak current-mode control, and can
be operated in pulse-width modulation (PWM), pulse-fre-
quency modulation (PFM), and discontinuous-conduction
mode (DCM) to enable high efficiency under light-load
conditions.
