Product details
Overview
MAX17502GATB+T from Maxim Integrated is a 60V input, 1A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side pMOS and low-side nMOS FETs, fixed 3.3V output (G variant), ±1.7% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 600kHz switching frequency, and TDFN-10 (3mm × 2mm) package. It delivers regulated power in industrial process control, telecom power supplies, and battery-powered equipment requiring compact, high-efficiency conversion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17502GATB+T datasheet, MAX17502GATB+T pinout, MAX17502GATB+T application, or MAX17502GATB+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5V–60V wide input range, internal MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes, programmable EN/UVLO threshold, open-drain RESET with 92.5%/95.5% VOUT monitoring thresholds, and support for all-ceramic capacitor designs in ultra-small layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX17502GATB+T implements peak-current-mode control with fixed-frequency PWM, using an internal transconductance error amplifier (GM = 590 µS typ) and slope compensation to ensure stable regulation across load and line variations. Its control loop integrates internal compensation for fixed-output versions, eliminating external compensation components.
It features hiccup-mode overcurrent protection triggered by either 1.65A peak current limit or 71.14% VOUT undervoltage trip, thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis, and prebiased soft-start that prevents reverse current flow during power-up into an already-biased output rail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports wide industrial and telecom input rails including 24V, 36V, 48V systems without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.7% - guaranteed accuracy over full –40°C to +125°C ambient, enabling direct powering of MCU I/O, FPGA banks, and logic interfaces. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for point-of-load regulation of microcontrollers, sensors, and communication ICs in space-constrained designs. |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz (typ) - enables use of small inductors (e.g., ~2.2µH) and reduces output ripple while maintaining EMI manageability. |
| Efficiency Peak | >90% - achieved via low RDS-ON high-side (0.85Ω typ) and low-side (0.35Ω typ) MOSFETs, minimizing conduction losses at full load. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.9µA (typ) - ensures minimal battery drain in always-on or low-power standby modes for portable equipment. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for harsh industrial environments including HVAC, factory automation, and base station power rails. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17502GATB+T is housed in a 10-pin, 3mm × 2mm TDFN package with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND for thermal enhancement. Pinout is validated per Maxim's official datasheet Rev 5 (19-6245).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pin 1) | Power Ground | Low-impedance return path for high-current LX switching node; must be tied externally to power ground plane and connected to GND at VCC bypass cap location. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main Input Supply | Accepts 4.5V–60V unregulated input; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic input capacitance close to pin for stability and ripple suppression. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 3) | Enable / Input UVLO Control | Resistor-divider programmable turn-on threshold (1.218V typ rising); pull high to VIN for always-on operation or configure for brown-out immunity. |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Internal 5V LDO Output | Supplies internal circuitry and low-side gate driver; must be bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND; shuts down if VCC falls below 3.7V. |
| FB/VO (Pin 5) | Feedback Input | Connected directly to output for fixed 3.3V version; monitors regulated output and closes control loop with ±1.7% accuracy over temperature. |
| LX (Pin 6) | Switching Node | Connects to inductor switch node; carries high di/dt current; high-impedance during shutdown; requires short, low-inductance PCB trace. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog Ground | Reference for FB, SS, COMP, RESET; must be star-connected to PGND at single point near VCC bypass cap to minimize noise coupling. |
| RESET (Pin 8) | Open-Drain Power-Good | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 92.5% of nominal; releases high 1024 clock cycles after VOUT rises above 95.5%; requires external pullup resistor. |
| N.C./COMP (Pin 9) | No Connect (Fixed Output) | Not internally connected for MAX17502G - must remain unconnected; differs from adjustable versions where it serves as compensation node. |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-Start Timing | Capacitor-to-GND sets soft-start duration (tSS ≈ 5.55 µs × CSS); reduces input inrush current and prevents output overshoot during startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous MOSFET Integration | Eliminates need for external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count, board area, and conduction losses - enables >90% efficiency at 1A. |
| Internal Compensation (Fixed Output) | Removes requirement for external RC compensation network on FB/VO loop - simplifies design, improves layout robustness, and accelerates time-to-market. |
| All-Ceramic Capacitor Support | Enables fully ceramic input (≥2.2µF) and output (≥22µF for 3.3V) capacitor solutions - eliminates electrolytics, improving reliability and lifetime in industrial applications. |
| Programmable EN/UVLO Threshold | Allows precise system-level brown-out detection (e.g., 12V or 24V turn-on) using two resistors - avoids premature startup or uncontrolled shutdown during input transients. |
| Prebiased Soft-Start | Prevents reverse current flow when powered into an already-biased output rail - critical for hot-swap, redundant supply, and battery backup systems. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX17502GATB+T over temperature?
The MAX17502GATB+T guarantees ±1.7% output voltage accuracy over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C ambient. This specification is verified across production lots and applies to the fixed 3.3V output version under all load and line conditions within datasheet limits.
Does the MAX17502GATB+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAX17502GATB+T does not require external compensation components. As a fixed-output variant (3.3V), it incorporates internal compensation circuitry - confirmed in the "Benefits and Features" section and block diagram of the official datasheet. External RC networks are only needed for adjustable-output versions (MAX17502H).
What is the function of the N.C./COMP pin on the MAX17502GATB+T?
The N.C./COMP pin (Pin 9) on the MAX17502GATB+T is a no-connect pin - it is not internally connected and must remain unconnected on the PCB. This differs from the MAX17502H variant, where the same pin serves as the compensation node for external RC network connection.
Can the MAX17502GATB+T safely start into a prebiased output?
Yes, the MAX17502GATB+T supports prebiased output startup. Its control logic disables both high-side and low-side switches until the first PWM pulse is commanded, preventing reverse current flow from the precharged output into the IC - a feature explicitly documented in the "Prebiased Output" section of the datasheet.
What thermal performance can be expected from the MAX17502GATB+T in a standard 4-layer PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer PCB layout per JEDEC JESD51-7, the MAX17502GATB+T (TDFN-10) exhibits θJA = 67.3°C/W. At 1A load and 24V input, typical power dissipation is ~350mW, resulting in ~23.6°C junction-to-ambient rise - well within the +125°C ambient rating and thermal shutdown threshold of +165°C.
