Product details
Overview
MAX17554BATA+T from Analog Devices is a 60V-input, 5V-fixed-output, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side p-MOSFET and low-side n-MOSFET, delivering up to 50mA load current, operating from 10V to 60V input, featuring fixed 70kHz switching frequency, internal soft-start (0.8ms typ), and -40°C to +125°C ambient operation. It targets space-constrained industrial power rails requiring ultra-small footprint and high efficiency in factory automation sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17554BATA+T datasheet, MAX17554BATA+T pinout, MAX17554BATA+T application, or MAX17554BATA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application mapping, and validated alternative options - all grounded in the official Analog Devices MAX17554/MAX17555 datasheet Rev 1 (May 2022).
Technical Context
The MAX17554BATA+T implements peak-current mode control with fixed-frequency PWM in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) for high light-load efficiency. It uses internal slope compensation and an error amplifier with built-in loop compensation, eliminating external compensation components.
It features fixed turn-on/turn-off thresholds (VON = 41.25V typ, VOFF = 9V typ), internal 3.3V linear regulator for bias, and robust protection including hiccup-mode overcurrent (240mA peak limit), thermal shutdown at 160°C, and ±1.5% output voltage regulation accuracy across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 10V to 60V - supports wide industrial input rails including 12V, 24V, and 48V systems without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.5% - eliminates need for external feedback resistors; suitable for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and logic. |
| Max Output Current | 50mA - sufficient for low-power IoT nodes, isolated gate drivers, and auxiliary rails in PLC modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 70kHz ±10% - enables use of small, low-cost inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity vs. MHz-range converters. |
| Soft-Start Time | 0.8ms typical - limits inrush current during power-up, preventing input rail sag in shared supply systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 181µA no-load - ensures minimal standby power draw in always-on monitoring devices. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for harsh environments including motor control cabinets and outdoor industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17554BATA+T is housed in an 8-pin TDFN package (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch), with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. The package code is T822CN+1, outline number 21-0487, and land pattern 90-0349.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Power Input | Primary HV input node; requires local 1µF ceramic decoupling to GND to suppress switching noise and stabilize input impedance. |
| 2 GND | Ground Reference | Power ground connection; must be tied directly to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling into control circuitry. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Secondary ground pin; improves thermal and electrical performance by reducing bond-wire inductance and spreading ground current. |
| 4 GND | Ground Reference | Third ground pin; provides additional low-inductance path for return currents, critical for EMI compliance (CISPR32 Class B). |
| 5 FB/VO | Feedback & Bootstrap | Connects directly to 5V output; serves dual role as regulation sense node and bootstrap supply for internal high-side driver. |
| 6 GND | Ground Reference | Fourth ground pin; completes symmetric grounding layout for optimal thermal dissipation and signal integrity. |
| 7 GND | Ground Reference | Fifth ground pin; ensures lowest possible thermal resistance (θJA = 162°C/W) on four-layer PCBs. |
| 8 LX | Switching Node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring shortest possible trace to minimize radiated emissions and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Enables fully compact, high-reliability layout using only X7R ceramics - no electrolytics required for input/output filtering. |
| No Schottky diode needed | Synchronous rectification via integrated MOSFETs achieves >90% efficiency at 50mA, eliminating conduction loss and thermal derating concerns. |
| Internal loop compensation | Removes requirement for external compensation network, reducing BOM count and design validation effort for stable operation. |
| Fixed 70kHz switching | Provides predictable EMI profile and simplifies filter design - avoids variable-frequency artifacts that complicate EMC testing. |
| Hiccup-mode overload protection | Shuts down for 64ms upon repeated overcurrent events, limiting average power dissipation and preventing thermal runaway during short circuits. |
Applications
| Factory Automation Sensors | Aftermarket Automotive Asset Trackers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX17554AATA+T | Fixed 3.3V output (vs. 5V); identical input range, package, and feature set. | Used where 3.3V logic supply is required instead of 5V - e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontrollers or low-voltage sensors. | Select when target load requires 3.3V; pin-compatible drop-in replacement with no layout change. |
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 65V input, adjustable output, 150mA capability, external compensation required. | Targets automotive infotainment and ADAS subsystems needing higher current, wider temp range (-40°C to +150°C), and functional safety support. | Choose for automotive qualification or >50mA loads; requires redesign of feedback and compensation network. |
Compared with MAX17554AATA+T, the MAX17554BATA+T offers direct 5V regulation without resistor dividers; compared with LM5164QDDARQ1, it trades higher current and AEC-Q100 compliance for smaller size, lower BOM count, and simpler layout - ideal for cost-sensitive industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the MAX17554BATA+T?
The MAX17554BATA+T supports an input voltage range of 10V to 60V. This wide range allows it to operate reliably across common industrial supply rails such as 12V, 24V, and 48V systems, including transient conditions like load dump in automotive-derived applications. It does not support inputs below 10V - unlike the MAX17555 variant which starts at 4V.
Does the MAX17554BATA+T require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the MAX17554BATA+T does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed 5V output variant (denoted by the "B" suffix), it internally regulates to 5.0V ±1.5% across temperature and load. The FB/VO pin connects directly to the output node for both feedback sensing and internal bootstrap supply - no resistor divider is needed.
Can the MAX17554BATA+T be used in applications requiring a power-good signal?
No, the MAX17554BATA+T does not include a RESET output or power-good functionality. That feature is exclusive to the MAX17555 series (e.g., MAX17555B). The MAX17554BATA+T lacks EN/UV, HYST, and RESET pins - its enable function is fixed via input voltage thresholds (VON/VOFF), and status monitoring must be implemented externally.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the MAX17554BATA+T have?
The MAX17554BATA+T uses an 8-pin TDFN package (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 162°C/W on a four-layer board. With a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and ambient rating up to +125°C, it supports continuous operation in thermally demanding enclosures when properly mounted on a copper pour.
How does the MAX17554BATA+T handle overcurrent or short-circuit conditions?
The MAX17554BATA+T employs hiccup-mode overcurrent protection. When inductor peak current exceeds 240mA (typ), it enters hiccup mode after 16 consecutive current-limit events - suspending switching for 64ms (typ), then attempting soft-start again. This limits average power dissipation and prevents thermal damage during sustained shorts, unlike constant-current foldback or latch-off schemes.
