MAX17574
4.5V to 60V, 3A, High-Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
with Internal Compensation
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Reduces External Components and Total Cost
The MAX17574, 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 3A current. Output voltage is programmable from 0.9V
• No Schottky-Synchronous Operation
• Internal Compensation for Any Output Voltage
• All-Ceramic Capacitors, Compact Layout
up to 90%V . The feedback voltage regulation accuracy
over -40°C to +125°C is ±0.9%.
IN
● Reduces Number of DC-DC Regulators to Stock
• Wide 4.5V to 60V Input
The MAX17574 features a peak-current-mode control
architecture. The device can be operated in the pulse-
width modulation (PWM), pulse-frequency modulation
(PFM), or discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) control
schemes. A programmable soft-start feature allows users
to reduce input inrush current. The device also incorporates
an output enable/undervoltage lockout pin (EN/UVLO)
that allows the user to turn on the part at the desired
input voltage level. An open-drain RESET pin provides a
delayed power-good signal to the system upon achieving
successful regulation of the output voltage.
• Adjustable Output Voltage Range from 0.9V up to
90% of V
IN
• Delivers up to 3A Current Over Temperature
• 100kHz to 2.2MHz Adjustable Switching Frequency
with External Synchronization
● Reduces Power Dissipation
• Peak Efficiency > 90%
• PFM and DCM Modes Enable Enhanced
Light-Load Efficiency
• Auxiliary Bootstrap LDO for Improved Efficiency
• 2.8µA Shutdown Current
The MAX17574 is available in a 24-pin (4mm x 5mm)
TQFN package. Simulation models are available.
