MAX17687
4.5V to 60V Input, Ultra-Small, High-Efficiency,
Iso-Buck DC-DC Converter
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Eliminates External Components and Reduces Total
The Rainier series of isolated DC-DC products enable
small, efficient solutions with a lower BOM. The MAX17687
is a high-voltage, high-efficiency, iso-buck DC-DC con-
verter designed to provide isolated power up to 10W. The
device operates over a wide 4.5V to 60V input voltage
range and uses primary-side feedback to regulate the
output voltage. It delivers primary peak current up to 3.2A
and regulates primary output voltage to within ±1.2%.
Cost
• Synchronous Primary Operation for High Efficiency
and Reduced Cost
• All-Ceramic Capacitors, Ultra-Compact Layout
● Supports Numerous Isolated DC-DC Applications
• Wide 4.5V to 60V Input Voltage Range
• Delivers up to 3.2A Peak Current
The device features peak-current-mode control with
pulse-width modulation (PWM) scheme. The low-resis-
tance, on-chip MOSFETs ensure high efficiency at full
load and simplify the layout.
• 100kHz to 500kHz Adjustable Frequency with
External Synchronization
• Available in a 20-Pin, 4mm x 4mm TQFN Package
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-volt-
age level. An open-drain RESET pin provides a delayed
power-good signal to the system upon achieving success-
ful regulation of the primary output voltage.
● Reduces Power Dissipation
• Peak Efficiency > 90%
• Shutdown Current = 2.8μA (typ)
● Operates Reliably in Adverse Industrial Environments
• Hiccup-Mode Current Limit, Sink Current Limit, and
Auto-Retry Startup
• Programmable EN/UVLO Threshold
• Adjustable Soft-Start
• -40°C to +125°C Ambient Operating Temperature
Range
The device operates from -40°C to +125°C and is avail-
able in a compact 20-pin (4mm x 4mm) TQFN package.
Simulation models are available.
• -40°C to +150°C Junction Temperature Range
Applications
● Industrial Process Control
● Communication Hub in Smart Meters
● Isolated Power Supplies in Medical Equipment
● Floating Power Supply Generation
