Product details
Overview
MAX17630BATE+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs, delivering up to 1A output at fixed 5V from 4.5V–36V input. It features peak-current-mode control, ±1.2% feedback regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and operates in PWM/DCM/PFM modes for full- and light-load efficiency. Used in industrial control power supplies and base station regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17630BATE+ datasheet, MAX17630BATE+ pinout, MAX17630BATE+ application, or MAX17630BATE+ equivalent, key selection factors include its 5V fixed output, 16-pin TQFN (3mm × 3mm) package, 400kHz–2.2MHz programmable switching frequency, hiccup-mode overload protection, and built-in output voltage monitoring with RESET.
Technical Context
The MAX17630BATE+ implements peak-current-mode control with internal compensation, eliminating external loop components across its fixed 5V output range. Its MODE/SYNC pin selects between forced PWM, DCM, or PFM operation-enabling >95% peak efficiency and optimized light-load performance without sacrificing transient response.
It integrates high-side (150–300mΩ) and low-side (100–200mΩ) nMOSFETs, supports external clock synchronization (±40% capture range), and includes programmable EN/UVLO thresholds (1.19–1.26V rising), soft-start via SS pin, and auxiliary EXTVCC switchover (4.56–4.84V) for improved efficiency when powered from the 5V output rail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 36V - supports wide industrial input rails including 12V, 24V, and 36V systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.2% - guaranteed regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C ambient, no external resistor divider required. |
| Output Current | Up to 1A continuous - delivers full rated current across full temperature range with thermal shutdown at 165°C. |
| Switching Frequency | 400kHz to 2.2MHz (programmable via RT resistor) - enables compact magnetics and EMI optimization; supports external clock sync. |
| Efficiency | Peak 95% - achieved in PWM mode at full load; enhanced light-load efficiency via PFM/DCM modes and 2.8μA shutdown current. |
| Package | 16-pin TQFN (3mm × 3mm, EP) - thermally enhanced layout with exposed pad tied to SGND; θJA = 38°C/W on 4-layer board. |
| Protection Features | Hiccup-mode OCP, overtemperature shutdown (165°C, 10°C hysteresis), RESET monitoring (90.5–94.6% FB trip), and adjustable EN/UVLO. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17630BATE+ is housed in a 16-pin, 3mm × 3mm TQFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP). The package uses RoHS-compliant lead finish and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 (260°C peak).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | EN/UVLO | Enable/undervoltage lockout input - rising threshold 1.19–1.26V; controls startup sequencing and brownout protection. |
| 2 | VCC | Internal 5V LDO output - powers internal circuitry; requires 2.2μF ceramic bypass to SGND; not for external loading. |
| 3 | SGND | Analog ground reference - separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling into feedback and control loops. |
| 4 | MODE/SYNC | Mode selection and external clock sync input - sets PWM/DCM/PFM; accepts 2.1V VIH and 0.8V VIL logic levels. |
| 5 | SS | Soft-start timing input - capacitor to SGND sets ramp time; supports monotonic startup with prebiased output. |
| 6 | FB | Feedback input - internally referenced to 5.0V; connects directly to VOUT for fixed-output operation. |
| 7 | RT | Frequency programming - resistor to SGND sets fSW from 400kHz to 2.2MHz; open-circuit defaults to 400kHz. |
| 8 | RESET | Open-drain reset output - asserts low when FB falls below 92% of regulation; deasserts after 1024 cycles above 95%. |
| 9 | EXTVCC | Auxiliary supply input - reduces LDO losses when connected to 5V output; switchover threshold 4.56–4.84V. |
| 10 | BST | Bootstrap capacitor node - requires 0.1μF ceramic cap to LX; enables high-side MOSFET gate drive. |
| 11–12 | LX | Switching node - connects to inductor's switch-side terminal; handles high di/dt; dual pins reduce parasitic inductance. |
| 13–14 | PGND | Power ground - returns high-current paths (LX, VIN); must be low-impedance plane with multiple vias to EP. |
| 15–16 | VIN | Main input supply - 4.5V–36V; decoupled with 2.2μF ceramic cap near pins; dual pins reduce IR drop and noise. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground - must be soldered to SGND plane with ≥4 thermal vias for reliable thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency, especially at light loads. |
| Internal compensation | Removes need for external RC network - simplifies design, saves board space, and ensures stable loop response across 5V output. |
| Programmable switching frequency | 400kHz–2.2MHz via single RT resistor - enables optimization of size, efficiency, and EMI for specific system constraints. |
| Three operating modes (PWM/DCM/PFM) | Enables >95% peak efficiency and <50μA quiescent current in PFM - critical for battery-backed or always-on industrial systems. |
| Hiccup-mode overload protection | Auto-recovering fault response - limits power dissipation during sustained short-circuit or overload, improving reliability. |
| RESET with voltage monitoring | Monitors FB pin continuously - provides system-level power-good signaling with 90.5–94.6% undervoltage trip window. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 4.5V–65V input, 5V fixed output, 1A, 1.5MHz max fSW, AEC-Q100 qualified; no internal compensation - requires external loop components. | Automotive-grade qualification and higher VIN limit; lacks integrated compensation and RESET output. | Select LM5164QPWPRQ1 only if automotive qualification or >36V input is mandatory; MAX17630BATE+ offers simpler layout and tighter regulation. |
| TPS54202DRCT | 4.5V–28V input, adjustable output (0.6V–28V), 2A, 400kHz–2.5MHz fSW, integrated compensation; no hiccup-mode OCP or RESET. | Higher current rating and wider VIN range but requires external feedback resistors; lacks built-in power-good signaling. | Choose TPS54202DRCT when adjustable output or 2A capability is needed; MAX17630BATE+ provides plug-and-play 5V operation with system-level monitoring. |
Compared with LM5164QPWPRQ1 and TPS54202DRCT, the MAX17630BATE+ delivers superior ease-of-use for fixed 5V industrial applications through its internal compensation, integrated RESET, hiccup-mode protection, and guaranteed ±1.2% regulation across temperature - reducing BOM count and validation effort.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX17630BATE+ over temperature?
The MAX17630BATE+ maintains ±1.2% feedback regulation accuracy over the full –40°C to +125°C ambient operating temperature range. This specification applies to the fixed 5.0V output version and is guaranteed by design and characterization, not just typical performance.
Can the MAX17630BATE+ operate with an input voltage lower than 4.5V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for the MAX17630BATE+ is 4.5V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below this level may result in improper startup, regulation failure, or undefined behavior. The device shuts down when VIN drops below the EN/UVLO falling threshold (1.068–1.131V at the EN/UVLO pin).
Does the MAX17630BATE+ require external compensation components?
No - the MAX17630BATE+ includes fully integrated compensation circuitry optimized for its fixed 5V output configuration. No external RC networks are required for loop stability, simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials cost compared to adjustable buck controllers.
How does the RESET function work on the MAX17630BATE+?
The MAX17630BATE+ drives its open-drain RESET pin low when the FB voltage falls below 90.5–94.6% of its nominal 5.0V setpoint. RESET deasserts (goes high-impedance) 1024 switching cycles after FB rises above 93.8–97.8% of regulation - providing glitch-free power-good signaling for downstream processors or supervisors.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the MAX17630BATE+?
The EXTVCC pin on the MAX17630BATE+ accepts an external 4.56–4.84V supply - typically the 5V output rail - to power the internal LDO's high-side driver circuitry. This reduces internal power dissipation and improves overall efficiency, especially at high input voltages where LDO dropout loss would otherwise dominate.
