MAX17531
4V to 42V, 50mA, Ultra-Small, High-Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
with 22µA No-Load Supply Current
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Reduces External Components and Total Cost
The
MAX17531
high-efficiency,
high-voltage,
synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated
MOSFETs operates over a 4V to 42V input. The converter
can deliver up to 50mA and generates output voltages
• No Schottky–Synchronous
• Internal Compensation for Any Output Voltage
• Built-In Soft-Start
• All-Ceramic Capacitors, Compact Layout
from 0.8V up to 0.9 x V . The feedback (FB) voltage is
IN
accurate to within ±1.75% over -40°C to +125°C.
● Reduces Number of DC-DC Regulators to Stock
The MAX17531 uses peak-current-mode control and can
be operated in pulse-width modulation (PWM) or pulse-
frequency modulation (PFM) modes.
• Wide 4V to 42V Input
• Adjustable 0.8V up to 0.9 x V Output
• 100kHz to 2.2MHz Adjustable Switching Frequency
with External Synchronization
