MAX17551
60V, 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 MAX17551 high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronous
step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs
operates over a 4V to 60V input. The converter can deliver
up to 50mA and generates output voltages from 0.8V up to
• No Schottky–Synchronous
• Internal Compensation for Any Output Voltage
• Built-In Soft-Start
• All-ceramic capacitors, Compact Layout
0.9 x V . The feedback (FB) voltage is accurate to within
IN
±1.75% over -40°C to +125°C.
● Reduces Number of DC-DC Regulators to Stock
• Wide 4V to 60V Input
• Adjustable 0.8V to 0.9 x V Output
• 100kHz to 2.2MHz Adjustable Switching Frequency
with External Synchronization
The MAX17551 uses peak-current-mode control and can
be operated in pulse-width modulation (PWM) or pulse-
frequency modulation (PFM) modes.
