Product details
Overview
MAX17501BATB+T from Maxim Integrated is a 60V-input, 500mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side pMOS and low-side nMOS FETs, fixed 5V output, ±1.7% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and 600kHz switching frequency - designed for industrial point-of-load regulation in space-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17501BATB+T datasheet, MAX17501BATB+T pinout, MAX17501BATB+T application, or MAX17501BATB+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.5V–60V wide input range, PFM light-load efficiency mode, resistor-programmable EN/UVLO threshold, open-drain RESET output with 92.5%/95.5% VOUT thresholds, and TDFN-10 (3mm × 2mm) package with exposed pad for thermal management.
Technical Context
The MAX17501BATB+T implements peak-current-mode control with internal transconductance error amplifier (GM = 590µS), slope compensation, and PWM/PMF selectable operation - where the B variant uses PFM for >90% light-load efficiency. It integrates a 5V LDO (VCC) with 40mA drive capability and built-in hiccup-mode overcurrent protection triggered at 780mA runaway current limit.
Its architecture supports prebiased startup, adjustable soft-start via external capacitor on SS pin, and robust fault handling including thermal shutdown at +165°C (10°C hysteresis), output undervoltage monitoring via FB/VO, and open-drain RESET assertion when VOUT falls below 92.5% of nominal - all operating across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V - enables direct regulation from 12V/24V/48V industrial rails and battery stacks without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.7% - guaranteed accuracy over full –40°C to +125°C temperature range and line/load conditions. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA continuous - supported by integrated 0.85Ω high-side pMOS and 0.35Ω low-side nMOS at +25°C. |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz (typ) - allows compact magnetics and ceramic output capacitors; minimum on-time 120ns supports high VIN/VOUT ratios. |
| Efficiency (Peak) | >90% at 5V/500mA - achieved via synchronous rectification, low RDS-ON MOSFETs, and PFM mode reducing no-load current to <140µA. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.9µA (typ) - enables ultra-low power hold-up in battery-backed or always-on industrial systems. |
| RESET Threshold Accuracy | VOUT-OKF = 92.5%, VOUT-OKR = 95.5% - provides precise power-good signaling for microcontroller reset sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17501BATB+T is housed in a 10-pin TDFN package (3mm × 2mm) with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to GND, optimized for high-power-density PCB layouts and thermal dissipation (θJA = 67.3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for LX switch node; must be tied to power ground plane and connected to GND at VCC bypass capacitor. |
| 2 VIN | Main Input Supply | Accepts 4.5V–60V; includes absolute max rating of +70V for transient robustness. |
| 3 EN/UVLO | Enable / Input UVLO Control | Resistor-divider programmable turn-on threshold (1.218V rising); pulls up to VIN for always-on operation. |
| 4 VCC | Internal 5V LDO Output | Bypassed with 1µF ceramic; powers internal circuitry and low-side gate driver; shuts down if VCC drops below 3.7V. |
| 5 FB/VO | Feedback Input | Direct connection to 5V output for fixed-version regulation; monitors output for RESET and loop control. |
| 6 SS | Soft-Start Timing | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time; prevents input inrush and enables controlled prebiased startup. |
| 7 N.C./COMP | No Connect (Fixed Output) | Not connected for MAX17501B; reserved for external compensation in adjustable variants (G/H). |
| 8 RESET | Open-Drain Power-Good | Asserts low when VOUT < 92.5%; releases after 1024 cycles once VOUT > 95.5%; requires external pullup. |
| 9 GND | Analog Ground | Reference for FB, COMP, SS, RESET; separate from PGND but tied at VCC bypass point. |
| 10 LX | Switching Node | Connects to inductor; high-impedance during shutdown; supports synchronous buck topology with integrated FETs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Buck Architecture | Integrated 0.85Ω pMOS high-side and 0.35Ω nMOS low-side switches eliminate external Schottky diode, reduce conduction loss, and enable >90% full-load efficiency. |
| PFM Light-Load Mode | Reduces no-load quiescent current to <140µA at +25°C and maintains >85% efficiency at 1mA load - critical for battery-powered industrial sensors. |
| Robust Fault Protection | Hiccup-mode OCP triggered by single-cycle 780mA runaway current limit; thermal shutdown at +165°C with 10°C hysteresis; continuous short-circuit survival. |
| Precision Power Sequencing | Open-drain RESET with 92.5%/95.5% VOUT thresholds and 1024-cycle delay ensures reliable microcontroller reset timing independent of input transients. |
| Prebiased Startup Support | Prevents reverse current flow into powered outputs; both FETs remain off until first PWM pulse, enabling safe hot-plug and rail-sharing applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | 4.5V–65V input, 300mA output, 600kHz, AEC-Q100 qualified; no integrated high-side FET - requires external pMOS. | Automotive-grade only; lacks PFM mode and RESET output; lower current rating limits use in higher-power industrial loads. | Select when automotive qualification is mandatory and 300mA suffices; not drop-in due to external FET requirement and missing RESET. |
| TPS54360DGQR | 3.5V–60V input, 3.5A output, 100kHz–2.5MHz adjustable frequency; larger SOIC-8 package; no integrated low-side FET. | Higher current capability but requires external nMOS and compensation network; no PFM mode or precision RESET thresholds. | Choose for >500mA loads or programmable frequency; not pin-compatible and demands more design effort than MAX17501BATB+T. |
Compared with LM5164QDDARQ1 and TPS54360DGQR, the MAX17501BATB+T delivers optimal balance of integration (dual MOSFETs, RESET, PFM), precision (±1.7% VOUT), and compactness (TDFN-10) for 500mA industrial point-of-load applications - eliminating external components while maintaining thermal headroom and sequencing control.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX17501BATB+T over temperature?
The MAX17501BATB+T guarantees ±1.7% output voltage accuracy over the full –40°C to +125°C ambient operating temperature range. This specification is validated across process, voltage, and temperature corners and applies to its fixed 5V output configuration, ensuring stable MCU and sensor powering without external trimming.
Does the MAX17501BATB+T support prebiased output startup?
Yes, the MAX17501BATB+T supports prebiased output startup. When enabled into a precharged output, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs remain off until the first PWM command, preventing reverse current flow and enabling safe hot-plug operation in systems with shared or back-driven rails - a confirmed behavior documented in the MAX17501 datasheet Section "Prebiased Output".
What is the function of the N.C./COMP pin on the MAX17501BATB+T?
The N.C./COMP pin (Pin 7) on the MAX17501BATB+T is a no-connect terminal. As a fixed 5V output variant (B version), it does not require external loop compensation - unlike adjustable versions (G/H) which use this pin for RC network connection. Leaving Pin 7 unconnected is mandatory per the MAX17501BATB+T pinout and electrical specifications.
How does the RESET output of the MAX17501BATB+T behave during thermal shutdown?
During thermal shutdown, the RESET output of the MAX17501BATB+T is actively driven low. This behavior is explicitly specified in the datasheet: "RESET also goes low during thermal shutdown." The signal remains low until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (+155°C), and then resumes normal regulation monitoring once the device re-enables.
Can the MAX17501BATB+T operate with ceramic input and output capacitors only?
Yes, the MAX17501BATB+T is fully compatible with all-ceramic capacitor designs. Its internal compensation and stable peak-current-mode control enable robust operation using only X7R/X5R MLCCs on both input and output - a key feature highlighted in the "Benefits and Features" section and verified in typical application circuits (Figure 7) of the MAX17501 datasheet.
