Product details
Overview
MAX17292EUBA+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, synchronous step-up DC-DC controller optimized for wide-input industrial and automotive boost applications. It operates from 4.5V to 36V (with 42V transient protection), supports 1MHz–2.5MHz switching via external resistor or SYNC input, delivers >90% peak efficiency, and features a 5V internal PVL regulator enabling logic-level MOSFET drive. It is used in telecom power supplies and battery-fed preboost stages.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17292EUBA+T datasheet, MAX17292EUBA+T pinout, MAX17292EUBA+T application, or MAX17292EUBA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5MHz max switching frequency, 4µA shutdown current, bootstrapped 2.5V min input operation, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and 180° SYNCO output for multiphase synchronization.
Technical Context
The MAX17292EUBA+T implements constant-frequency peak current-mode control with programmable slope compensation and 60ns leading-edge blanking to stabilize high-duty-cycle operation. Its error amplifier delivers 700µS transconductance and 140µA source/sink capability for fast load transient response.
It integrates a 5V/100mA PVL LDO, 42V-rated input protection, hiccup-mode short-circuit protection with 44ms restart delay, and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis. The FSET/SYNC pin accepts either a resistor (12kΩ → 2.2MHz) or external clock (1MHz–2.5MHz) for synchronization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz–2.5MHz (set by 12kΩ resistor or external SYNC); enables compact magnetics and low output ripple. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V–36V continuous, 42V transient rated; supports harsh automotive and industrial supply rails. |
| Shutdown Current | 4µA typical; minimizes battery drain in always-on systems. |
| Peak Efficiency | >90%; reduces thermal load and improves power density in space-constrained designs. |
| PVL Regulator Output | 4.7V–5.45V; powers external gate drivers and logic, enabling direct use of logic-level nMOSFETs. |
| Current-Sense Threshold | 212mV–288mV; sets precise overcurrent limit with external sense resistor for robust fault protection. |
| Soft-Start Time | 6ms–12ms (fixed 9ms typical); controls inrush current during power-up to prevent input rail collapse. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX17292EUBA+T is housed in a 10-pin µMAX-EP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height) with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 is SUP; pin 10 is EP (exposed pad, internally connected to GND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SUP | Power-supply input | Accepts 4.5V–36V input; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability. |
| EN | Active-high enable | Logic- or high-voltage compatible; pulls device into <4µA shutdown when low. |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power return; connects to EP for optimal thermal performance. |
| DRV | nMOS gate driver output | Swings 0V–PVL (~5V); sources 750mA/sinks 1000mA peak to drive external FET. |
| PVL | 5V internal regulator output | Supplies DRV and external circuitry; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| ISNS | Current-sense input | Monitors voltage across external sense resistor; includes 60ns blanking to reject switching spikes. |
| REFIN | Reference input | Accepts 0.5V–2V external voltage to set FB regulation point; enables dynamic output adjustment. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high after soft-start when VOUT >90% target; enters hiccup mode after 16 consecutive current-limit events. |
| FSET/SYNC | Frequency set or sync input | Resistor sets 1–2.5MHz; external clock synchronizes phase; falling edge triggers DRV turn-on with 60ns delay. |
| FB | Feedback input | Regulated to 1V (when REFIN = PVL) or to REFIN value; sets output voltage via resistor divider. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Enables ultra-compact, low-profile boost solutions without electrolytic capacitors. |
| Bootstrapped 2.5V min input operation | Allows converter to self-power from its own output, extending usable input range below 4.5V. |
| Spread-spectrum modulation (B/D/F versions) | Reduces EMI peak emissions by ±6% frequency dithering-no added BOM cost. |
| 180° SYNCO output | Enables seamless two-phase interleaved boost with second MAX17290/MAX17292 for lower ripple and thermal stress. |
| Adjustable slope compensation | Stabilizes current loop above 50% duty cycle using single external resistor on ISNS pin. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX17290EUBA+T | Lower switching frequency range (100kHz–1MHz); no spread-spectrum; same pinout and package. | Better suited for EMI-sensitive audio or sensor front-ends where lower fundamental frequency simplifies filtering. | Select MAX17290EUBA+T when 1MHz max frequency suffices and spread-spectrum is unnecessary. |
| LM5122MMX/NOPB | Wider input range (3V–75V); integrated high-side gate driver; no internal PVL regulator; different pinout. | Preferred for ultra-wide-input industrial systems (e.g., solar charge controllers) requiring higher VIN tolerance. | Choose LM5122MMX/NOPB only if input exceeds 36V or integrated high-side drive is required-requires PCB redesign. |
Compared with MAX17290EUBA+T, the MAX17292EUBA+T offers higher-frequency operation and built-in spread-spectrum EMI reduction, while LM5122MMX/NOPB trades internal regulation and pin compatibility for extended input voltage range and integrated driver architecture.

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the MAX17292EUBA+T?
The MAX17292EUBA+T supports a maximum switching frequency of 2.5MHz when configured with a 12kΩ resistor on the FSET/SYNC pin or synchronized to an external 2.5MHz clock signal. This high-frequency capability allows use of smaller inductors and capacitors, reducing solution size and improving transient response in compact power designs.
Does the MAX17292EUBA+T include an internal voltage regulator?
Yes, the MAX17292EUBA+T integrates a 5V PVL regulator (4.7V–5.45V output) capable of supplying up to 100mA. This regulator powers the internal gate driver (DRV) and can also supply external circuitry, enabling direct interface with logic-level nMOSFETs and eliminating the need for an external bias supply.
Can the MAX17292EUBA+T operate with input voltages below 4.5V?
Yes-the MAX17292EUBA+T supports bootstrapped operation down to 2.5V minimum input when the output supplies the SUP pin. In standard operation, it requires 4.5V–36V, but the bootstrapped mode extends usability during cold-crank automotive conditions or low-battery states without external circuitry.
How does the MAX17292EUBA+T protect against output overvoltage?
The MAX17292EUBA+T does not include an OVP pin in the EUBA package variant (only ETCC/D and ETCE/F versions do). Protection relies on proper feedback divider design and system-level monitoring. For OVP functionality, select MAX17292ETCC+T or MAX17292ETCE+T, which feature a dedicated OVP pin with 110% FB threshold and 2.5% hysteresis.
What thermal performance can be expected from the MAX17292EUBA+T in a standard PCB layout?
In a four-layer board layout, the MAX17292EUBA+T (µMAX-EP) achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 78°C/W. With the exposed pad soldered to a solid ground plane, it sustains continuous operation at full load up to +85°C ambient, and triggers thermal shutdown at +165°C with 10°C hysteresis to ensure safe recovery.
