Product details
Overview
MAX17292EUBB+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 input (extendable to 2.5V in bootstrapped mode), delivers up to 2.5MHz switching frequency, features 4µA shutdown current, integrated 5V PVL regulator, and supports external synchronization via FSET/SYNC. It is used in telecom power supplies and distributed point-of-load regulation where compact size and transient robustness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17292EUBB+T datasheet, MAX17292EUBB+T pinout, MAX17292EUBB+T application, or MAX17292EUBB+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1MHz–2.5MHz programmable switching range, 42V input transient protection, peak current-mode control architecture with adjustable slope compensation, and compatibility with logic-level nMOSFETs driven by its 5V PVL-regulated DRV output.
Technical Context
The MAX17292EUBB+T implements constant-frequency, peak current-mode PWM control with internal transconductance error amplifier (700µS gm) and 1% accurate 1V reference. Its oscillator frequency is set externally via resistor on FSET/SYNC (12kΩ yields ~2.2MHz) and supports synchronization to external clocks between 1MHz–2.5MHz.
It integrates a 5V/10mA low-dropout PVL regulator for gate drive and bias, provides 180° phase-shifted SYNCO output for multiphase operation, and includes hiccup-mode protection triggered after 16 consecutive current-limit cycles. The ISNS pin accepts 250mV current-sense threshold with 40ns leading-edge blanking and supports external slope compensation via resistor network.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX17292EUBB+T is housed in a 10-pin µMAX-EP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height) with exposed pad connected to GND for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SUP | Power-supply input | Bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; withstands 42V transients |
| EN | Active-high enable | Logic- or high-voltage compatible (–0.3V to +42V); disables all switching and reduces ICC to 4µA |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for analog, power, and exposed pad; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| DRV | nMOS gate driver output | 5V-referenced (PVL), 750mA source / 1000mA sink capability; drives logic-level FETs directly |
| PVL | Internal 5V regulator output | Supplies DRV and external bias; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| ISNS | Current-sense input | 250mV threshold with 40ns blanking; connects to sense resistor between FET source and GND |
| FB | Feedback input | Regulated to 1V (when REFIN = PVL); sets output voltage via resistor divider from VOUT |
| REFIN | Reference input | Accepts 0.5V–2V external voltage to dynamically adjust output; tied to PVL for fixed 1V FB reference |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good signal | Asserts high after soft-start when VOUT > 90%; pulls low during hiccup or EN deassertion |
| FSET/SYNC | Frequency set or sync input | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW (1–2.5MHz); external logic clock synchronizes switching edge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Enables fully ceramic input/output filtering - eliminates bulk electrolytics and improves reliability in high-temp environments |
| Spread-spectrum modulation (B/D/F versions) | ±6% frequency dithering reduces EMI peak amplitude - simplifies compliance testing without added shielding |
| Fixed 9ms internal soft-start | Linear ramp of internal reference prevents inrush current - eliminates need for external soft-start circuitry |
| 180° out-of-phase SYNCO output | Enables two-phase interleaved boost with second MAX17290/MAX17292 - cuts input/output ripple by ~50% |
| Adjustable slope compensation | Single-resistor configuration stabilizes current loop above 50% duty cycle - avoids subharmonic oscillation in high-VOUT/VIN designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX17292ETCE+ | TQFN-12 (3mm × 3mm) package with OVP pin; same electrical specs and frequency range | Includes dedicated OVP input for independent overvoltage monitoring - required in safety-critical systems where output overvoltage must be isolated from feedback path | Select MAX17292ETCE+ if OVP functionality is mandatory; MAX17292EUBB+T lacks OVP pin and relies on FB-based protection only |
| LM5122MMX/NOPB | 4.5V–65V input, 50kHz–750kHz range, no integrated PVL regulator - requires external 5V bias for gate drive | Higher input voltage rating suits 48V industrial systems; lower max frequency increases inductor size but improves light-load efficiency | Choose LM5122MMX/NOPB for >36V input or when external bias is already available; MAX17292EUBB+T offers tighter integration and higher fSW for space-constrained designs |
Compared with MAX17292ETCE+, MAX17292EUBB+T saves board area with µMAX packaging but omits OVP; versus LM5122MMX/NOPB, it delivers higher switching frequency and self-contained gate drive, reducing external component count at the cost of lower absolute input voltage rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient rating for MAX17292EUBB+T?
The MAX17292EUBB+T supports 42V input voltage transients per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows direct connection to automotive battery rails without external TVS diodes in most ISO 7637-2 pulse scenarios. Operation remains functional up to 36V continuous input, and the device enters shutdown below 3.8V PVL undervoltage lockout threshold.
Does MAX17292EUBB+T include an integrated gate driver, and what MOSFET types does it support?
Yes, MAX17292EUBB+T integrates a high-current gate driver (DRV) powered by its internal 5V PVL regulator. It sources 750mA and sinks 1000mA peak current, enabling direct drive of logic-level n-channel MOSFETs with gate thresholds ≤2.5V. It is not designed for high-side pMOS or discrete gate-driver ICs - external FET selection must match PVL voltage and DRV current capability.
Can MAX17292EUBB+T operate with input voltages below 4.5V, and how is this achieved?
Yes, MAX17292EUBB+T can operate down to 2.5V input using bootstrapped mode, where the converter's regulated output supplies the SUP pin. In this configuration, the PVL regulator sustains DRV drive and internal circuitry once startup is complete. The device does not support sub-4.5V operation in standard mode - bootstrapping requires careful layout and stability analysis per the datasheet's Application Information section.
What is the purpose of the REFIN pin on MAX17292EUBB+T, and how is it used?
The REFIN pin on MAX17292EUBB+T accepts an external 0.5V–2V reference voltage to dynamically adjust the FB regulation point and thus the output voltage in real time. When tied to PVL, it configures fixed 1V FB regulation. Driving REFIN with a DAC or potentiometer enables analog dimming in LED drivers or programmable output adjustment in adaptive power supplies - without modifying the FB resistor divider.
How does the hiccup-mode protection work in MAX17292EUBB+T, and when is it activated?
Hiccup mode in MAX17292EUBB+T activates when PGOOD is low (VOUT < 85% of target) and 16 consecutive current-limit events occur. The device then halts switching for 44ms before initiating a new 9ms soft-start. This protects external MOSFETs and inductors during sustained overloads or output shorts. It is distinct from thermal shutdown and operates independently of junction temperature.
