Product details
Overview
MAX17571ATC+ from Analog Devices is a high-voltage synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs, delivering up to 1.5A output current across a 4V–60V input range, supporting adjustable output voltages from 0.9V to 90% of VIN, and operating at 400kHz–2.2MHz switching frequency. It targets industrial power rails, factory automation I/O modules, and distributed power architectures requiring robust regulation under wide-input, high-temperature conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17571ATC+ datasheet, MAX17571ATC+ pinout, MAX17571ATC+ application, or MAX17571ATC+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its internal compensation eliminating external loop components, built-in hiccup-mode overload protection, ±1.2% FB regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and EXTVCC bias input enabling efficiency optimization in high-VIN designs.
Technical Context
The MAX17571ATC+ employs peak-current-mode control with fixed-frequency forced PWM operation, enabling stable regulation under transient load steps and monotonic startup into prebiased outputs. Its dual LDO architecture (IN-LDO and EXT-LDO) dynamically selects VCC supply based on EXTVCC voltage, reducing on-chip dissipation when powered from ≥5V external bias.
It integrates high-side (330–620mΩ) and low-side (170–320mΩ) nMOSFETs, supports external clock synchronization via RT/SYNC with 1.1×–1.4× capture range, and implements cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.79A typical peak), runaway current detection (3.09A), and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 60V - enables direct connection to 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V industrial bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 1.5A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGAs, microcontrollers, sensors, and analog front-ends in embedded systems. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1.2% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable output regulation across full industrial temperature range without calibration. |
| Switching Frequency | 400kHz to 2.2MHz (adjustable via RT/SYNC resistor or external clock) - allows optimization of size vs. EMI in space-constrained designs. |
| Shutdown Current | 4.65μA - minimizes system standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Efficiency | 94% peak - reduces thermal load and improves power density in enclosed or convection-cooled enclosures. |
| Package | 12-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) with exposed pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 41°C/W) for reliable high-power operation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17571ATC+ is housed in a 12-pin thermally enhanced thin dual flat no-lead package (TDFN-EP) measuring 3mm × 3mm, with an exposed pad (EP) that must be soldered to SGND and connected to a large ground plane using multiple thermal vias for optimal junction-to-board heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 4V–60V unregulated input; connects directly to bulk input capacitor and upstream supply. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | Configurable turn-on threshold (1.215V rising); enables controlled power sequencing and brownout protection. |
| RESET | Open-drain output voltage monitor | Asserts low when FB falls below 92% of setpoint; deasserts after 1024 cycles once FB rises above 95% - provides reliable POR and fault signaling. |
| SS | Soft-start timing control | Capacitor-connected node sets ramp time; prevents input inrush and ensures monotonic startup into prebiased outputs. |
| VCC | Internal 5V LDO output | Supplies internal logic and low-side gate driver; requires 2.2μF ceramic bypass to SGND. |
| RT/SYNC | Frequency programming & sync input | Resistor sets fSW (400kHz–2.2MHz); accepts external clock for system-level timing coherence. |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates VOUT with ±1.2% accuracy across temperature and line/load. |
| SGND | Signal ground reference | Reference point for FB, SS, EN/UVLO, RESET, RT/SYNC; must be star-connected to PGND near VCC capacitor. |
| EXTVCC | External bias input | Bypasses internal IN-LDO when ≥4.7V applied; improves efficiency at high VIN by reducing chip dissipation. |
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to LX; supplies gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| LX | Switching node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt pulsed current - requires short, wide trace and tight layout to PGND. |
| PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for LX and internal MOSFETs; must be low-inductance plane tied to SGND at single point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces conduction loss and improves light-load efficiency. |
| Internal compensation | Removes need for external Type-II/III compensation network - simplifies design, saves board area, and improves stability margin. |
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Enables compact, low-profile layouts using X7R/X5R MLCCs - avoids electrolytic aging and improves reliability in harsh environments. |
| Hiccup-mode overload protection | Shuts down during sustained overcurrent or short-circuit, then auto-retries after 32,768 cycles - limits power dissipation and prevents thermal runaway. |
| CISPR 32 Class B compliance | Meets radiated/conducted EMI limits for industrial equipment without additional filtering - accelerates EMC certification. |
| Prebiased output startup | Prevents reverse current flow during hot-plug or backup-supply scenarios - protects downstream circuitry and maintains system integrity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 4.5V–65V input, 1A output, 1.5MHz max fSW, no EXTVCC pin, lower peak efficiency (92%), AEC-Q100 qualified | Targeted at automotive infotainment and ADAS; lacks hiccup-mode reset assertion and prebias startup | Choose for automotive-grade qualification where 1A output suffices and EXTVCC optimization is not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX17571ATC+?
The MAX17571ATC+ delivers up to 1.5A continuous output current under specified thermal conditions. This rating assumes proper PCB layout with thermal vias to the exposed pad, adequate copper area for heat dissipation, and operation within the 4V–60V input range. Peak current limit is 2.79A (typical), and runaway current threshold is 3.09A - both triggering hiccup-mode protection to safeguard the device during overload.
Does the MAX17571ATC+ require external compensation components?
No, the MAX17571ATC+ features internal compensation across its full output voltage and switching frequency ranges. This eliminates the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks, reducing bill-of-materials count, saving PCB area, and improving design robustness against component tolerances and temperature drift - a key differentiator versus many competing controllers.
How does the EXTVCC pin improve efficiency in the MAX17571ATC+?
The EXTVCC pin on the MAX17571ATC+ allows external biasing of the internal 5V LDO (VCC) from the output rail (5V–24V), bypassing the IN-LDO powered from VIN. This reduces on-chip power dissipation - especially beneficial at high input voltages (e.g., 48V) - resulting in measurable efficiency gains and lower junction temperature. The switchover occurs automatically at 4.7V (rising).
Can the MAX17571ATC+ start up into a prebiased output voltage?
Yes, the MAX17571ATC+ supports monotonic startup into a prebiased output. During initial power-up, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs remain off until the internal PWM comparator commands the first pulse, preventing reverse current flow from the output into the converter. This protects downstream circuitry in hot-swap, redundant supply, or battery-backup configurations.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX17571ATC+?
The MAX17571ATC+ integrates comprehensive protection: cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (2.79A), runaway current detection (3.09A), hiccup-mode overload recovery, thermal shutdown at 165°C (10°C hysteresis), output voltage monitoring with open-drain RESET output, adjustable EN/UVLO, and minimum on/off time constraints to prevent subharmonic oscillation - all implemented without external components.
