General Description
The MAX17552 high-efficiency, high-voltage, syn-
chronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated
MOSFETs operates over a 4V to 60V input voltage range.
The converter can deliver output current up to 100mA at
output voltages of 0.8V to 0.9 x V
IN
. The output voltage
is accurate to within ±1.75% over the -40°C to +125°C
temperature range.
The device employs a peak-current-mode control
architecture with a MODE pin that can be used to operate
the device in pulse-width modulation (PWM) or pulse-
frequency modulation (PFM) control schemes. PWM
operation provides constant frequency operation at all
loads and is useful in applications sensitive to variable
switching frequency. PFM operation disables negative
inductor current and additionally skips pulses at light
loads for high efficiency. The converter consumes only
22µA of no-load supply current in PFM mode. The low-
resistance, on-chip MOSFETs ensure high efficiency at
full load and simplify PCB layout.
The device offers programmable switching frequency
to optimize solution size and efficiency. Programmable
soft-start allows the user to reduce the inrush currents.
An EN/UVLO pin allows the user to turn on/off the device
at the desired input-voltage level. An open-drain RESET
pin allows output-voltage monitoring. The device operates
over the -40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range
and is available in a compact 10-pin (3mm x 2mm) TDFN
and 10-pin (3mm x 3mm) μMAX
®
packages. Simulation
models are available.
