MAXM17545
4.5V to 42V, 1.7A 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, and power
modules, and chargers enable cooler, smaller, and simpler
power supply solutions. The MAXM17545 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 compen-
sation components in a low-profile, thermally-efficient,
system-in-package (SiP). The device operates over a
wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 42V and delivers up to
1.7A 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 complete
the total power solution. The high level of integration signifi-
cantly reduces design complexity, manufacturing risks, and
offers a true plug-and-play power supply solution, reducing
time-to-market.

The MAXM17545 is available in a low-profile, highly
thermal-emissive, compact, 29-pin 9mm x 15mm x 2.8mm
SiP package that reduces power dissipation in the
package, while enhancing efficiency. The package is
easily soldered onto a printed circuit board and suitable
for automated circuit board assembly. The device can
operate over wide industrial temperature range from
-40°C to +125°C.
