4.5V to 60V, 300mA High-Efficiency,
Synchronous, Inverting Output DC-DC
Converters
MAX17579/MAX17580
General Description
Benefits and Features
The Himalaya series of voltage regulator ICs, power mod-
ules, and chargers enable cooler, smaller, and simpler
power-supply solutions. The MAX17579 and MAX17580
are high-efficiency, high-voltage, inverting, Himalaya syn-
chronous DC-DC converters with integrated MOSFETs
and internal compensation. The devices generate output
● Reduces External Components and Total Cost
• Synchronous Operation
• All-Ceramic Capacitors, Compact Layout
• Internal Loop Compensation
• System Ground Referenced I/O Pins (EN/UVLO,
RESET)
voltages (V
) from -0.9V to -36V and can deliver up to

The devices feature peak current-mode control architec-
ture. The MAX17579 operates in continuous conduction
mode (CCM) at all loads, thus, providing a constant fre-
quency operation. The MAX17580 operates in discontinu-
ous conduction mode (DCM) for superior efficiency at light
loads. Low minimum on-time allows higher switching fre-
quencies and small solution sizes.
• Wide 4.5V to (60V-|V
• Up to 300mA Output Current
• 400kHz to 2.2MHz Adjustable Frequency with
External Clock Synchronization

● Reduces Power Dissipation
• 88.4% Peak Efficiency
• DCM for Superior Light-Load Efficiency
• 6.2μA Shutdown Current
The devices allow the EN/UVLO, RESET and RT/SYNC
pins to be driven by signals that are referenced to system
ground, eliminating the need for external-level shifter cir-
cuits. The feedback-voltage regulation accuracy is ±1.3%
over a wide -40°C to +125°C temperature range. The de-
vices are available in a compact 12-pin (3mm x 3mm)
TDFN-EP package. Simulation models are available.
