MAXM17544
4.5V to 42V, 3.5A High-Efficiency, DC-DC Step-
Down Power Module with Integrated Inductor
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Reduces Design Complexity, Manufacturing Risks,
and Time-to-Market
The Himalaya series of voltage regulator ICs, power mod-
ules, and chargers enable cooler, smaller, and simpler
power supply solutions. The MAXM17544 is an easy-to-
use, Himalaya step-down power module that combines
a switching power supply controller, dual n-channel
MOSFET power switches, fully shielded inductor, and the
compensation components in a low-profile, thermally-effi-
cient, system-in-package (SiP). The device operates over
a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 42V and delivers up to
3.5A continuous output current with excellent line and load
regulation over an output voltage range of 0.9V to 12V.
The device only requires five external components to com-
plete the total power solution. The high level of integration
significantly reduces design complexity, manufacturing
risks, andoffersatrueplug-and-playpowersupplysolution,
reducing time-to-market.
