Product details
Overview
MAX17502FATB+T from Maxim Integrated is a 60V input, 1A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with fixed 5V output, integrated high-side pMOS and low-side nMOS power switches, ±1.7% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and 600kHz switching frequency. It delivers regulated 5V power in industrial process control systems where wide-input-voltage resilience and compact layout are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17502FATB+T datasheet, MAX17502FATB+T pinout, MAX17502FATB+T application, or MAX17502FATB+T equivalent, key selection factors include its 4.5V–60V input range, internal compensation for fixed 5V output, programmable EN/UVLO threshold, open-drain RESET with 92.5%/95.5% VOUT monitoring thresholds, and TDFN-10 (3mm × 2mm) package with exposed pad for thermal management.
Technical Context
The MAX17502FATB+T employs peak-current-mode control with fixed-frequency PWM, using an internal transconductance error amplifier (GM = 590µS typ) and slope compensation to stabilize regulation. Its high-side pMOS (RDS-ONH = 0.85Ω typ at +25°C) and low-side nMOS (RDS-ONL = 0.35Ω typ at +25°C) enable >90% peak efficiency without external Schottky diodes.
It integrates a 5V LDO (VCC) with 40mA current limit and 3.7V UVLO, a resistor-programmable EN/UVLO (1.218V rising threshold), adjustable soft-start via SS pin (5µA charging current), and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection triggered by either 1.7A runaway current limit or VOUT falling below 71.14% of nominal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports direct connection to unregulated industrial rails, battery stacks, or PoE-powered infrastructure without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.7% - eliminates external feedback resistors; enables plug-and-play integration into 5V logic, MCU, or peripheral power domains. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in space-constrained embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz (typ) - allows use of small, low-profile inductors (e.g., 4.7µH) and reduces output ripple without increasing EMI filtering complexity. |
| Efficiency (Peak) | >90% - minimizes thermal load in sealed enclosures and extends battery life in portable equipment. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.9µA (typ) - enables ultra-low-power standby modes in always-on IoT edge nodes. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for under-hood automotive auxiliary supplies and industrial motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17502FATB+T is housed in a 10-pin TDFN package (3mm × 2mm) with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and efficient heat dissipation in thermally constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pin 1) | Power Ground | Low-impedance return path for high-current LX switching node; must be connected directly to power ground plane and tied to GND at VCC bypass capacitor. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main Input Supply | Accepts 4.5V–60V DC input; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic input capacitance close to pin for stability and EMI suppression. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 3) | Enable / Input Undervoltage Lockout | Resistor-divider programmable turn-on threshold (1.218V rising); pull high to VIN for always-on operation. |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Internal 5V LDO Output | Supplies internal circuitry and low-side gate driver; must be bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| FB/VO (Pin 5) | Feedback Input | Internally connected to 5V reference divider; connect directly to output capacitor for fixed 5V regulation. |
| LX (Pin 6) | Switching Node | Connects to inductor switch node; high-impedance during shutdown; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog Ground | Reference for internal analog blocks; tie to PGND at single-point star ground near VCC capacitor. |
| RESET (Pin 8) | Open-Drain Power-Good Signal | Pulls low when VOUT drops below 92.5% of 5V; rises after 1024 cycles once VOUT exceeds 95.5% - used for system sequencing and fault detection. |
| N.C./COMP (Pin 9) | No Connect (Fixed-Output Version) | Not internally connected on MAX17502F; must remain unconnected - no compensation network required. |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-Start Timing Input | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time; 3300pF yields ~18ms soft-start - prevents input inrush and output overshoot during power-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous MOSFET Integration | Eliminates external Schottky diode and reduces BOM count; achieves >90% efficiency at full load with minimal thermal footprint. |
| Internal Compensation (5V Fixed) | Removes need for external RC compensation network - simplifies design validation and reduces layout sensitivity. |
| All-Ceramic Capacitor Support | Enables fully ceramic input (2.2µF) and output (10µF 1210) capacitor designs - improves reliability and temperature stability vs. electrolytics. |
| Hiccup-Mode Overcurrent Protection | Shuts down for 32,768 clock cycles upon short-circuit or overload - limits average power dissipation and prevents thermal runaway. |
| Prebiased Power-Up Capability | Starts safely into existing 5V rail without sinking current - essential for hot-swap and redundant power supply 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDRCRQ1 | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100, 65V max input, 1A, 600kHz, but requires external compensation and feedback resistors for 5V output. | Targeted for automotive infotainment and ADAS; lacks integrated 5V feedback divider and RESET functionality. | Select LM5164QDRCRQ1 only if AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature range (–40°C to +150°C) are mandatory. |
| TPS54160DGQR | 60V input, 1.5A, 1.6MHz, but uses external MOSFETs and requires more external components; no integrated RESET or EN/UVLO programming. | Designed for higher-current, cost-sensitive industrial supplies; lacks prebias start-up and hiccup-mode protection. | Choose TPS54160DGQR when higher output current headroom and faster transient response are needed, and board area is less constrained. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX17502FATB+T over temperature?
The MAX17502FATB+T maintains output voltage accuracy within ±1.7% over the full –40°C to +125°C ambient operating temperature range. This specification is guaranteed across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) corners and verified by production testing at +25°C with characterization over temperature - ensuring consistent 5V regulation for sensitive logic and analog circuitry in demanding environments.
Does the MAX17502FATB+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAX17502FATB+T does not require external compensation components. As a fixed 5V output variant, it incorporates internal compensation circuitry optimized for stability with standard ceramic output capacitors. The N.C./COMP pin (Pin 9) is unconnected and must remain floating - eliminating loop compensation design effort and layout sensitivity typical of adjustable regulators.
How is the soft-start time configured on the MAX17502FATB+T?
The soft-start time on the MAX17502FATB+T is set by connecting a capacitor from the SS pin (Pin 10) to GND. With a typical SS charging current of 5µA, a 3300pF capacitor yields approximately 18ms soft-start duration. This controlled ramp prevents input inrush current and output voltage overshoot during power-up, especially critical when driving large output capacitance or downstream LDOs.
What protection features does the MAX17502FATB+T include?
The MAX17502FATB+T integrates hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (triggered by 1.7A runaway current limit or VOUT dropping to 71.14%), thermal shutdown (+165°C trip with 10°C hysteresis), output undervoltage lockout (via RESET pin), and input undervoltage lockout (programmable EN/UVLO). These features collectively safeguard the IC and system during fault conditions without requiring external supervision circuitry.
Can the MAX17502FATB+T start up into a precharged 5V output rail?
Yes, the MAX17502FATB+T supports prebiased power-up. When enabled into an existing 5V rail, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs remain off until the first PWM pulse is commanded, preventing reverse current flow from the output. This feature ensures safe hot-swap operation and compatibility with redundant or backup power architectures where the output may already be biased before the IC is enabled.
