Product details
Overview
MAX17502EATB+ from Maxim Integrated is a 60V input, 1A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side pMOS and low-side nMOS FETs, delivering fixed 3.3V output with ±1.7% regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C ambient. It operates at 600kHz switching frequency, achieves >90% peak efficiency, and features programmable soft-start, EN/UVLO, and open-drain RESET for industrial power management in space-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17502EATB+ datasheet, MAX17502EATB+ pinout, MAX17502EATB+ application, or MAX17502EATB+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5V–60V wide input range, internal MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes, all-ceramic capacitor support, TDFN-10 (3mm × 2mm) ultra-small footprint, and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection for robust operation in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The MAX17502EATB+ employs peak-current-mode control with fixed-frequency PWM, using an internal transconductance error amplifier (GM = 590µS typ) and slope compensation to ensure stable regulation across line, load, and temperature. Its integrated 0.85Ω high-side pMOS and 0.35Ω low-side nMOS deliver up to 1A continuous output while maintaining >90% efficiency at full load under 24V input.
It implements comprehensive protection: cycle-by-cycle peak current limit (1.65A typ), runaway current limit (1.7A typ), sink current limit (0.65A typ), thermal shutdown at +165°C with 10°C hysteresis, and output voltage monitoring via open-drain RESET with 92.5% undervoltage and 95.5% overvoltage thresholds referenced to FB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports wide industrial bus voltages including 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V systems without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.7% - guaranteed accuracy over –40°C to +125°C ambient enables reliable logic supply in extended-temperature applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz (typ) - enables compact magnetics and low-output-ripple design with minimal EMI filtering requirements. |
| Peak Efficiency | >90% - achieved using integrated low-RDS(on) MOSFETs (0.85Ω HS / 0.35Ω LS), reducing conduction loss and thermal stress. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.9µA (typ) - ultra-low quiescent draw extends battery life in always-on or low-power wake-up systems. |
| RESET Threshold Accuracy | VOUT-OKR = 95.5% ±2%, VOUT-OKF = 92.5% ±2% - precise power-good signaling ensures deterministic system boot sequencing. |
| Thermal Protection | Hiccup-mode shutdown at +165°C junction with 10°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17502EATB+ is housed in a 10-pin, 3mm × 2mm TDFN package with exposed pad (EP) for enhanced thermal performance. The package supports ≤1188.7mW continuous power dissipation at +70°C ambient (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 connected directly to power ground plane and tied to GND at VCC bypass capacitor. |
| 2 VIN | Main Input Supply | Accepts 4.5V–60V DC; requires ≥2.2µF X7R ceramic input capacitance close to pin for ripple suppression and stability. |
| 3 EN/UVLO | Enable / Input UVLO Control | Resistor-divider programmable turn-on threshold (1.218V typ rising); pull high to VIN for always-on operation. |
| 4 VCC | Internal 5V LDO Output | Bypass with 1µF ceramic to GND; powers internal circuitry and low-side gate driver; shuts down if VCC drops below 3.7V. |
| 5 FB/VO | Feedback Input | Direct connection to 3.3V output for fixed-voltage regulation; internal reference is 0.9V, enabling accurate closed-loop control. |
| 6 SS | Soft-Start Timing | Capacitor-to-GND sets soft-start time (tSS ≈ 5.55µs × CSS); reduces inrush current during power-up and prebiased start. |
| 7 N.C./COMP | No Connect (Fixed-Vout) | Not connected internally for MAX17502E; must remain unconnected - no external compensation required. |
| 8 RESET | Open-Drain Power-Good | Active-low signal pulled low when VOUT < 92.5%; rises after 1024 clock cycles once VOUT > 95.5%; requires external pullup. |
| 9 GND | Analog Ground | Low-noise reference for FB, COMP, and internal circuits; separate from PGND but tied together at single-point VCC bypass. |
| 10 LX | Switching Node | Connects to inductor's switch-side terminal; high-impedance during shutdown; handles ±1.6A RMS current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 0.85Ω pMOS high-side and 0.35Ω nMOS low-side eliminate external Schottky diode, improving efficiency by ~5–8% and reducing BOM count. |
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Stable operation with only X7R MLCCs on input (≥2.2µF) and output (≥22µF for 3.3V), enabling ultra-compact, low-profile PCB layouts. |
| Programmable EN/UVLO | Resistor-divider on EN/UVLO pin sets precise turn-on voltage (e.g., 12V or 24V rail detection), preventing brownout operation in noisy industrial supplies. |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | Triggers after one runaway current event (1.7A) or sustained VOUT drop to 71.14%, suspending switching for 32,768 cycles before retry - limits fault power dissipation to <100mW. |
| Prebiased soft-start | Starts safely into existing 3.3V output without sinking current; high- and low-side FETs remain off until first PWM pulse initiates controlled ramp-up. |

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 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 65V input, 1A, adjustable output only; requires external compensation; no integrated RESET. | Targeted at automotive infotainment and ADAS; lacks fixed 3.3V option and power-good signaling. | Select LM5164QDDARQ1 only when AEC-Q100 qualification and 65V margin are mandatory; MAX17502EATB+ offers faster time-to-market for industrial designs with plug-and-play 3.3V output. |
| TPS54160DGQR | 60V input, 1.5A, adjustable output only; 3.5mA no-load IQ; no internal MOSFETs (external high/low-side FETs required). | Requires external FETs and loop compensation; larger solution size; higher BOM cost and layout complexity. | Choose TPS54160DGQR only when >1A output or custom output voltage (e.g., 2.5V) is needed; MAX17502EATB+ provides lower total solution cost and smaller footprint for fixed 3.3V. |
Compared with LM5164QDDARQ1 and TPS54160DGQR, MAX17502EATB+ delivers immediate 3.3V regulation without external components, includes integrated RESET for system sequencing, and achieves superior light-load efficiency due to its 0.9µA shutdown current - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MAX17502EATB+?
The MAX17502EATB+ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +70V, with guaranteed continuous operation from 4.5V to 60V. This 60V operational ceiling supports common industrial bus standards including 24V, 36V, and 48V systems, while the 70V absolute limit provides margin against transient spikes per IEC 61000-4-5.
Does MAX17502EATB+ require external MOSFETs or diodes?
No. MAX17502EATB+ integrates both high-side pMOS and low-side nMOS power switches, eliminating the need for external MOSFETs or Schottky diodes. Its synchronous architecture uses internal 0.85Ω and 0.35Ω RDS(on) FETs to achieve >90% peak efficiency and simplify PCB layout with all-ceramic capacitor support.
How does the RESET pin function on MAX17502EATB+?
The open-drain RESET pin on MAX17502EATB+ asserts low when FB falls below 92.5% of its nominal value and releases high 1024 switching cycles after FB rises above 95.5%. It requires an external pullup resistor and remains valid only when EN/UVLO is high and VIN exceeds 4.5V - providing precise power-good signaling for MCU reset sequencing.
Can MAX17502EATB+ start into a prebiased output?
Yes. MAX17502EATB+ supports prebiased start: both high-side and low-side FETs remain off until the first PWM pulse initiates, preventing reverse current flow from an existing 3.3V rail. This feature protects downstream circuitry and enables hot-swap capability in battery-backed or redundant power systems.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to MAX17502EATB+?
MAX17502EATB+ uses a 10-pin TDFN package (3mm × 2mm) with exposed pad. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 67.3°C/W (multilayer board), enabling 1188.7mW continuous power dissipation at +70°C ambient. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large GND copper plane to realize full thermal performance.
