MAX17552/MAX17552A
60V, 100mA, Ultra-Small, High-Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
with 22µA No-Load Supply Current
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Eliminates External Components and Reduces Total Cost
• No Schottky—Synchronous Operation for High
Efficiency and Reduced Cost
The MAX17552/MAX17552A high-efficiency, high-voltage,
synchronous step-down DC-DC converters with integrated
MOSFETs operate over a 4V to 60V input voltage range.
The converters can deliver output current up to 100mA at
• Internal Compensation
output voltages of 0.8V to 0.9 x V . The output voltage
is accurate to within ±1.75% over the -40°C to +125°C
temperature range.
• Fixed Internal 5.1ms or Programmable Soft-Start
• All-Ceramic Capacitors, Ultra-Compact Layout
IN
● Reduces Number of DC-DC Regulators to Stock
The devices employ a peak-current-mode control
architecture with a MODE pin that can be used to operate
the device in pulse-width modulation (PWM) or pulse-
frequency modulation (PFM) control schemes. PWM
operation provides constant frequency operation at all
loads and is useful in applications sensitive to variable
switching frequency. PFM operation disables negative
inductor current and additionally skips pulses at light
loads for high efficiency. The converters consume only
22µA of no-load supply current in PFM mode. The low-
resistance, on-chip MOSFETs ensure high efficiency at
full load and simplify PCB layout.
• Wide 4V to 60V Input Voltage Range
• Adjustable 0.8V to 0.9 x V Output Voltages

• Delivers Up to 100mA Load Current
• 100kHz to 2.2MHz Adjustable Switching Frequency
Range with External Synchronization
• Configurable Between PFM and Forced-PWM
Modes
● Reduces Power Dissipation
• 22µA No Load Supply Current
• Peak Efficiency > 90%
• PFM Feature for High Light-Load Efficiency
• 1.2μA (typ) Shutdown Current
The devices offer programmable switching frequency to
optimize solution size and efficiency. Programmable soft-
start allows the user to reduce the inrush currents. During
overload, the MAX17552 implements a hysteretic cycle-
by-cycle peak-current-limit protection scheme, while the
MAX17552A implements a HICCUP-type overload protec-
tion scheme to protect the inductor and the internal FETs.
An EN/UVLO pin allows the user to turn on/off the device
at the desired input-voltage level. An open-drain RESET
pin allows output-voltage monitoring. The devices operate
over the -40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range
and is available in a compact 10-pin (3mm x 2mm) TDFN
