Product details
Overview
MAX17555BATA+T from Analog Devices is a 60V-input, 5V-output, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side p-MOSFET and low-side n-MOSFET, delivering up to 50mA load current, fixed 70kHz switching frequency, and 3.8µA shutdown current. It operates from 4V to 60V input, supports prebiased startup, and targets space-constrained industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17555BATA+T datasheet, MAX17555BATA+T pinout, MAX17555BATA+T application, or MAX17555BATA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed TDFN-8 (2mm × 2mm) package mapping, validated pin roles including EN/UV, HYST, RESET, and FB/VO, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX17555BATA+T implements peak-current mode control with internal slope compensation and fixed soft-start (0.8ms typ), enabling stable regulation across -40°C to +125°C ambient. Its architecture integrates error amplifier, PWM logic, high-side and low-side MOSFET drivers, and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection triggered after 16 consecutive peak-current limit events.
It features programmable enable/undervoltage lockout (EN/UV threshold: 1.215V typ rising, 1.09V typ falling) with external hysteresis via HYST pin, plus open-drain RESET output asserting low when FB/VO falls below 92% of regulation voltage - all implemented without external compensation components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 60V - supports wide industrial supply rails including 5V, 12V, 24V, and 48V systems with headroom for transients. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±1.5% - factory-trimmed for precision; eliminates external feedback resistors in standard 5V PoL applications. |
| Max Load Current | 50mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in ultra-low-power subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | 70kHz ±10% - enables use of small, low-cost inductors while maintaining EMI compliance (CISPR32 Class B). |
| Shutdown Current | 3.8µA - minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring circuits and asset trackers. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C junction with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
| Package | TDFN-8 (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch) - ultra-compact footprint ideal for space-limited modules and sensor nodes. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17555BATA+T is housed in an 8-pin TDFN package (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch, exposed pad), optimized for thermal performance (θJA = 162°C/W on 4-layer board) and minimal PCB area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Power Input | Primary HV input node; requires local 1µF ceramic decoupling to GND for noise suppression and transient response. |
| 2 EN/UV | Enable / Undervoltage Lockout | Active-high digital enable with programmable turn-on/off thresholds; pulls device into <3.8µA shutdown when driven low. |
| 3 HYST | Hysteresis Programming | Connects externally to EN/UV to set input voltage hysteresis; enters Hi-Z when EN/UV > 1.215V, sinks 100µA when pulled low. |
| 4 GND | Ground Reference | Power ground return; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane and tied to all other GND pins at single point. |
| 5 FB/VO | Feedback / Bootstrap | For fixed-output variants like MAX17555BATA+T, directly connects to VOUT to close regulation loop and bootstrap internal circuitry. |
| 6 RESET | Open-Drain Power-Good | Asserts low when output drops <92% of 5V; releases Hi-Z 30µs after output rises >95% - provides reliable system reset signaling. |
| 7 GND | Ground Reference | Dedicated ground terminal; shares same net as Pin 4 but routed separately to reduce noise coupling in layout. |
| 8 LX | Switching Node | Connects to inductor switch node; high-impedance during shutdown; carries high di/dt pulses requiring short, wide trace routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external compensation required | Internal control loop compensation eliminates need for external Type-II/III networks - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Synchronous FET integration | Integrated 5.4Ω high-side p-MOSFET and 1.5Ω low-side n-MOSFET eliminate Schottky loss and improve light-load efficiency in DCM. |
| Prebiased output startup | Prevents reverse current flow during startup into precharged outputs - essential for hot-swap and redundant power systems. |
| Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) | Enables pulse-skipping at light loads to maintain >80% efficiency down to 1mA - critical for battery-backed IoT endpoints. |
| CISPR32 Class B compliance | Meets radiated emission limits without shielding or ferrites - simplifies EMC validation for industrial and automotive aftermarket designs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX17554BATA+T | 10V–60V input range; no EN/UV, HYST, or RESET pins; fixed 5V output; 146µA no-load current. | Lacks programmable enable and power-good signaling - suitable only for always-on, non-critical rails. | Select when input never drops below 10V and system-level reset management is handled externally. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX17555BATA+T can safely handle?
The MAX17555BATA+T has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +70V on the IN pin relative to GND. However, its specified operating input range is 4V to 60V. Sustained operation above 60V violates the device's functional specifications and may cause premature failure or parametric shift, even if within absolute maximum ratings. Always maintain VIN ≤ 60V for guaranteed performance and reliability in production designs using MAX17555BATA+T.
Does the MAX17555BATA+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAX17555BATA+T does not require external compensation components. It features fully internal control loop compensation, which eliminates the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials cost, and improves layout robustness - a key differentiator versus controllers requiring external compensation. All stability is ensured across the full operating range of MAX17555BATA+T.
Can the MAX17555BATA+T be used with a prebiased output voltage?
Yes, the MAX17555BATA+T supports startup into a prebiased output. During prebiased startup, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs remain off until the internal reference ramps up, preventing reverse current flow from the output capacitor. This behavior is explicitly characterized and guaranteed across the -40°C to +125°C temperature range, making MAX17555BATA+T suitable for hot-swap and redundant power architectures where output voltage may already be present at enable time.
What is the purpose of the HYST pin on the MAX17555BATA+T?
The HYST pin on the MAX17555BATA+T enables programmable hysteresis for the enable/undervoltage lockout function. When connected via an external resistor to the EN/UV pin, HYST sets the difference between turn-on and turn-off input voltage thresholds - for example, turning on at 12V and turning off at 10V. This prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy input conditions. If unused, HYST must be tied to GND; floating it is not permitted in MAX17555BATA+T designs.
How does the RESET output on the MAX17555BATA+T behave during startup and fault conditions?
The RESET output on the MAX17555BATA+T is an open-drain signal that goes high-impedance 30µs after FB/VO rises above 95% of the 5V regulation voltage, indicating valid output. It asserts low when FB/VO drops below 92% of regulation, during EN/UV disable, or during hiccup-mode overcurrent protection. RESET remains low throughout the 64ms hiccup timeout period and resumes monitoring only after soft-start restarts - providing deterministic power-good sequencing for MAX17555BATA+T-based systems.
