Product details
Overview
MAX17640BATA+T from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs, delivering 5.0V at up to 400mA from a 4.5V–60V input. It features peak-current-mode control, programmable PFM/PWM operation via MODE pin, and internal soft-start. Used in industrial sensors and 4–20mA current loops where compact, robust point-of-load regulation is required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17640BATA+T datasheet, MAX17640BATA+T pinout, MAX17640BATA+T application, or MAX17640BATA+T equivalent, key selection factors include its 5V fixed output, 8-pin 2mm × 2mm TDFN package, 500kHz switching frequency, 92% peak efficiency, and built-in RESET monitoring with hiccup-mode overcurrent protection.
Technical Context
The MAX17640BATA+T employs a fixed-frequency peak-current-mode architecture with internal slope compensation and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Its MODE pin latches at power-up to select between constant-frequency PWM (MODE = GND) or light-load-optimized PFM (MODE unconnected), directly affecting inductor current behavior and efficiency profile.
It integrates a 5V LDO (VCC) for internal biasing, with 4.75V–5.25V output and 150mV dropout; an EN/UVLO pin enabling programmable input turn-on threshold (1.215V typical rising); and an open-drain RESET output asserting low when VOUT falls below 92% of regulation, with 2ms delay on release.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports wide industrial supply rails including 24V, 36V, and 48V systems without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.4% - internally trimmed; no external feedback resistors required for nominal operation. |
| Max Output Current | 400mA - sustained load capability with thermal shutdown and hiccup-mode current limit for reliability. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz ±7% - enables use of small 68µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors in ultra-compact layouts. |
| Peak Efficiency | 92% - achieved at mid-load with all-ceramic passive components; PFM mode extends light-load efficiency. |
| Shutdown Current | 2.2µA typical - enables low-power system standby with EN/UVLO pulled low. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for harsh industrial environments with junction limit of +150°C. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17640BATA+T is housed in an 8-pin, 2mm × 2mm TDFN package (package code T822CN+1) with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 is VIN (top-left, marked dot), and pins are arranged counterclockwise per standard TDFN orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 4.5V–60V; requires local 1µF X7R ceramic bypass to GND for EMI suppression and transient response. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 2) | Enable & input UVLO input | Active-high logic; resistor divider from VIN sets precise turn-on voltage (e.g., 12V or 24V system enable). |
| VCC (Pin 3) | Internal LDO output | 5V bias rail for internal circuitry; must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| FB/VOUT (Pin 4) | Feedback / output sense | Direct connection to 5V output for fixed-version regulation; no external resistors needed. |
| MODE (Pin 5) | Control mode selection | GND = forced-PWM (constant frequency); open = PFM (pulse-skipping, higher light-load efficiency). |
| RESET (Pin 6) | Open-drain fault monitor | Pulls low when VOUT < 92% of 5V; high-impedance after 2ms delay when VOUT > 95% - enables system reset sequencing. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Power ground | Primary return path; must connect to solid ground plane and tie all grounds at single point near IC. |
| LX (Pin 8) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; high-impedance during shutdown; drives external 68µH inductor in buck topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated high-side pMOS (1.75Ω typ) and low-side nMOS (0.6Ω typ) eliminate external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and conduction losses. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies design, improves stability across input/output conditions. |
| Monotonic startup into prebiased output | Prevents output capacitor discharge during hot-swap or multi-rail sequencing - critical for FPGA and microcontroller power integrity. |
| Built-in RESET with hysteresis | Provides reliable power-good signaling with 92%/95% thresholds and 2ms delay - enables clean system reset without external supervisor IC. |
| CISPR32 Class B compliance | Meets conducted and radiated emissions limits without additional filtering - reduces EMC debug time in industrial enclosures. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100; 3–65V input; adjustable output; requires external compensation and feedback resistors. | Targeted at automotive body electronics; lacks fixed 5V option and internal feedback divider. | Select when AEC-Q100 qualification and wider input range (down to 3V) are mandatory; accept added design complexity. |
| TPS54340DDAR | 4.5–36V input; 3–28V adjustable output; 3.5A max; requires external MOSFETs and compensation. | Higher current, lower input voltage ceiling; not suitable for 48V+ industrial rails. | Choose for cost-sensitive 24V systems needing >400mA; avoid for 48V/60V inputs or fixed 5V simplicity. |
Compared with LM5164QDDARQ1 and TPS54340DDAR, MAX17640BATA+T offers plug-and-play 5V regulation in the smallest footprint (2mm × 2mm), with no external feedback or compensation - ideal for space-constrained industrial sensors and loop-powered devices where input exceeds 36V.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX17640BATA+T under full load and temperature range?
The MAX17640BATA+T delivers a fixed 5.0V output with ±1.4% regulation tolerance over −40°C to +125°C ambient and full 400mA load. This is specified as 4.93V to 5.07V (MODE = GND) and 4.93V to 5.18V (MODE unconnected) in the Electrical Characteristics table, ensuring compatibility with 5V-tolerant logic and analog circuits.
Does the MAX17640BATA+T require external feedback resistors to set its 5V output?
No, the MAX17640BATA+T does not require external feedback resistors. As the 'B' variant, it features an internal feedback divider trimmed to 5.0V; FB/VOUT (Pin 4) connects directly to the output node. External resistors are only needed for the adjustable MAX17640C version.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and EMI performance in the MAX17640BATA+T?
When MODE is grounded, MAX17640BATA+T operates in forced-PWM mode: constant 500kHz switching, predictable EMI spectrum, but lower light-load efficiency. When MODE is unconnected, it enters PFM mode: pulse-skipping at light loads, higher efficiency, but variable frequency that may complicate EMI filtering - choose based on system priority.
Can the MAX17640BATA+T safely start up into a prebiased 5V output rail?
Yes, the MAX17640BATA+T supports monotonic startup into a prebiased output in both PFM and forced-PWM modes. Its control architecture prevents reverse current flow and output capacitor discharge, making it suitable for hot-swap and multi-rail power sequencing in FPGAs and microcontrollers.
What is the function of the RESET pin on the MAX17640BATA+T, and how is it used in system design?
The RESET pin on MAX17640BATA+T is an open-drain output that asserts low when VOUT falls below 92% of 5V (i.e., 4.6V), and releases (high-impedance) 2ms after VOUT rises above 95% (4.75V). It's used to drive external reset supervisors or microcontroller reset inputs, ensuring reliable power-on reset and brownout detection without extra ICs.
