Product details
Overview
The MAX17643ATC+ from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs, operating from 4.5V to 60V input and delivering up to 2A output current. It features peak-current-mode control, fixed-frequency forced PWM operation, ±1.4% FB regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and internal compensation eliminating external loop components. It is used in industrial-control power supplies and pulsed-load communication modules requiring stable, compact, high-voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17643ATC+ datasheet, MAX17643ATC+ pinout, MAX17643ATC+ application, or MAX17643ATC+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 400kHz–2.2MHz adjustable switching frequency, hiccup-mode overload protection, programmable EN/UVLO threshold, monotonic startup into prebiased loads, and compliance with CISPR32 Class B emissions.
Technical Context
The MAX17643ATC+ implements a peak-current-mode control architecture with slope compensation, enabling stable operation across wide duty cycles and input/output combinations. Its fixed-frequency forced PWM mode ensures predictable EMI behavior and eliminates subharmonic oscillation without requiring external compensation networks.
It integrates dual LDOs - one powered from VIN and another from EXTVCC - with automatic switchover at ~4.7V, improving efficiency at high input voltages. The device supports external synchronization via RT/SYNC with 1.1× to 1.4× capture range and includes built-in RESET monitoring with 92% undervoltage trip and 95% release thresholds referenced to FB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports wide industrial and telecom input rails including 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, and 60V systems. |
| Output Current Capability | Up to 2A continuous - sufficient for point-of-load regulation of FPGAs, microcontrollers, and communication ICs. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1.4% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures tight output voltage regulation across full industrial temperature range. |
| Switching Frequency | 400kHz to 2.2MHz (adjustable via RT/SYNC resistor or external sync) - enables optimization of size vs. efficiency and EMI filtering requirements. |
| Peak Efficiency | 91.6% at 5V/2A output - reduces thermal load and improves system-level power density in space-constrained designs. |
| Shutdown Current | 4.65µA - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 165°C with 15°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload while allowing safe recovery after cooling. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX17643ATC+ is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-pin TDFN package (3mm × 3mm) with exposed pad (EP), offering low θJA = 41°C/W on multilayer PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power supply input | Accepts 4.5V–60V unregulated input; connects directly to input capacitor bank. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | Configurable turn-on threshold (1.215V typ); supports resistive divider for precise UVLO setting. |
| RESET | Open-drain output voltage monitor | Asserts low when FB falls below 92% of target; deasserts after 1024 cycles once FB exceeds 95%. |
| SS | Soft-start timing node | Capacitor-to-GND sets soft-start duration; enables monotonic startup into prebiased outputs. |
| VCC | Internal 5V LDO output | Powers internal logic and low-side driver; bypassed with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor. |
| RT/SYNC | Oscillator timing and sync input | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; accepts external clock pulses for system-level synchronization. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistive divider; regulates VOUT with ±1.4% accuracy over temperature. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, SS, RESET, and internal error amplifier; separate from PGND for noise isolation. |
| EXTVCC | External LDO input | Bypasses internal VIN-powered LDO when >4.7V applied; improves efficiency at high VIN. |
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX; provides gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| LX | Switching node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |
| PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for LX and internal MOSFETs; must be tied to GND at VCC bypass capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Enables compact, low-profile layouts using only X7R/X5R ceramics - no electrolytics required for stability. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external Type-II/III compensation network - simplifies design and reduces BOM count. |
| Hiccup-mode overload protection | Shuts down for 32,768 clock cycles upon sustained overcurrent or output short - limits power dissipation and prevents thermal runaway. |
| Programmable soft-start | Adjustable startup time via SS capacitor - prevents inrush current and enables controlled ramp-up into prebiased loads. |
| CISPR32 Class B compliance | Meets conducted and radiated emissions limits without additional shielding or filtering - accelerates EMC certification. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 4.5V–65V input, 1A output, current-mode control, no internal compensation - requires external loop components. | Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified; lacks RESET output and EXTVCC option. | Choose for automotive environments where qualification outweighs feature set; not drop-in due to lower current and missing functions. |
| TPS54260DGQR | 3.5V–60V input, 2.5A output, voltage-mode control, external compensation, higher quiescent current (120µA). | No hiccup mode; uses external MOSFETs - larger solution size and higher layout complexity. | Prefer when higher output current margin is needed and board area is less constrained; requires redesign of feedback and power stage. |
Compared with LM5164QPWPRQ1 and TPS54260DGQR, the MAX17643ATC+ delivers superior integration (internal MOSFETs + compensation), tighter FB accuracy (±1.4% vs. ±2%), and dedicated features for industrial reliability (RESET, monotonic startup, CISPR32 compliance), making it optimal for space- and performance-critical non-automotive applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the MAX17643ATC+?
The MAX17643ATC+ supports up to 2A continuous output current. Its peak current-limit threshold is 3.25A (typ), enabling reliable operation under pulsed loads such as communication module transmissions. Thermal derating applies above ambient temperatures where junction temperature exceeds +125°C, and thermal shutdown activates at +165°C to protect the device.
Does the MAX17643ATC+ require external compensation components?
No, the MAX17643ATC+ features built-in compensation across its entire output-voltage range (0.9V to 0.9 × VIN), eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials cost, and improves layout robustness - especially critical for high-density industrial PCBs.
How does the EXTVCC pin improve efficiency in the MAX17643ATC+?
The EXTVCC pin allows the MAX17643ATC+ to power its internal 5V LDO from an external 4.84V–24V supply instead of VIN, reducing conduction losses in the VIN-powered LDO path. When EXTVCC > 4.7V (typ), the device automatically switches to EXTVCC sourcing, increasing overall efficiency - particularly beneficial at high input voltages like 48V or 60V.
Can the MAX17643ATC+ operate with a prebiased output?
Yes, the MAX17643ATC+ supports monotonic startup into prebiased loads. During soft-start, the device ramps the output voltage from 0V without forcing reverse current through the output capacitor, preventing potential damage or instability in systems where downstream circuitry may already be powered.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX17643ATC+?
The MAX17643ATC+ integrates hiccup-mode overload protection, overtemperature shutdown (165°C with 15°C hysteresis), adjustable EN/UVLO, open-drain RESET with voltage monitoring, and cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting. These features collectively ensure robust operation in adverse industrial environments without requiring external protection circuitry.
