Product details
Overview
MAX17643ATC+T from Analog Devices is a high-voltage, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs, operating from 4.5V to 60V input and delivering up to 2A continuous 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-efficiency regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17643ATC+T datasheet, MAX17643ATC+T pinout, MAX17643ATC+T application, or MAX17643ATC+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.5V–60V input range, adjustable 0.9V–(0.9×VIN) output, 400kHz–2.2MHz programmable switching frequency, hiccup-mode overload protection, and 3mm×3mm TDFN package with exposed pad for thermal management.
Technical Context
The MAX17643ATC+T 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 consistent EMI behavior and eliminates subharmonic oscillation without external compensation.
It integrates dual LDOs - one powered from VIN and another from EXTVCC - with automatic switchover at ~4.7V to maximize efficiency at high input voltages. The device supports monotonic startup into prebiased loads and includes built-in output voltage monitoring with open-drain RESET assertion at 92% VOUT and deassertion at 95% VOUT after 1024 clock cycles.
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 without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 2A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, and communication ICs in single-board systems. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1.4% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures tight output regulation across full industrial temperature range without calibration. |
| Switching Frequency | 400kHz to 2.2MHz (programmable via RT/SYNC resistor or external sync) - enables optimization of size vs. efficiency and EMI filtering requirements. |
| Peak Efficiency | 91.6% at 5V/2A, VIN=24V - reduces thermal load and improves system-level power density in space-constrained designs. |
| Shutdown Current | 4.65µA - enables ultra-low-power standby modes in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
| Thermal Protection | 165°C shutdown with 15°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX17643ATC+T is housed in a 12-pin, 3mm × 3mm TDFN package with exposed pad (package code TD1233+1C), optimized for thermal performance and board area efficiency. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large GND plane using multiple thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Primary power input | Accepts 4.5V–60V unregulated supply; connects directly to input capacitor bank and must be decoupled locally. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | Configurable turn-on threshold (1.215V typical); supports resistor-divider programming for system-level brownout protection. |
| RESET | Open-drain power-good monitor | Asserts low when FB falls below 92% VOUT; deasserts after 1024 cycles once FB exceeds 95% - provides reliable sequencing signal for downstream logic. |
| SS | Soft-start timing node | Connects to external capacitor to set ramp time; controls inrush current and prevents output overshoot during startup. |
| VCC | Internal 5V LDO output | Powers internal circuitry and low-side driver; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic bypass to GND; sourced either from VIN or EXTVCC depending on voltage level. |
| RT/SYNC | Oscillator timing and synchronization | Resistor sets switching frequency (400kHz–2.2MHz); accepts external clock pulses for system-level timing alignment. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistive divider; regulates to 0.9V reference with ±1.4% accuracy across temperature and line. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, SS, RESET, and EN/UVLO; must be connected to PGND at VCC bypass capacitor location to minimize noise coupling. |
| EXTVCC | External LDO input | Accepts 4.84V–24V supply to bypass internal VIN-powered LDO, improving efficiency at high input voltages. |
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX to generate gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET; critical for proper high-side conduction. |
| LX | Switching node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt; must be routed short and wide with minimal loop area to reduce EMI and losses. |
| PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for LX and internal MOSFETs; must be connected to GND at VCC bypass point and tied to large copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Enables compact, high-reliability layouts without electrolytic capacitors - ideal for extended-life industrial deployments. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Hiccup-mode overload protection | Shuts down for 32,768 clock cycles upon sustained overcurrent or output short, limiting average power dissipation and preventing thermal runaway. |
| Adjustable soft-start | Prevents inrush current spikes and output voltage overshoot by controlling ramp rate via external SS capacitor. |
| Programmable EN/UVLO threshold | Allows precise system-level brownout detection using simple resistor divider - avoids premature shutdown during transient dips. |
| Monotonic startup into prebiased load | Ensures safe power-up even when output is already biased (e.g., back-fed by other regulators), preventing reverse current flow. |

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 qualified; 3V–65V input; 1.5A output; requires external compensation. | Targeted for automotive infotainment and ADAS power rails; lacks internal compensation and RESET output. | Choose LM5164QDDARQ1 only if AEC-Q100 qualification and higher VIN max are required - trade-off includes added compensation components and no integrated power-good signal. |
| TPS54260DGQR | 6V–60V input; 2.5A output; external MOSFETs; requires external compensation and bootstrap capacitor. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-space-constrained designs where thermal headroom allows discrete FETs. | Choose TPS54260DGQR when higher output current (2.5A) and flexibility in MOSFET selection outweigh the penalty of larger footprint and increased component count. |
Compared with LM5164QDDARQ1 and TPS54260DGQR, the MAX17643ATC+T delivers superior integration (internal MOSFETs, compensation, RESET, and dual-LDO power management) in a smaller 3mm×3mm footprint - making it optimal for industrial and telecom point-of-load applications where board area, thermal performance, and functional completeness are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX17643ATC+T?
The MAX17643ATC+T delivers up to 2A continuous output current. Its peak current-limit threshold is 3.25A (typical), enabling robust pulsed-load handling in applications like communication modules. Actual achievable output current depends on input voltage, output voltage, ambient temperature, and PCB thermal design - with thermal shutdown activating at junction temperatures above 165°C.
Does the MAX17643ATC+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAX17643ATC+T 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 component count, and improves stability margin without requiring loop analysis or tuning.
How does the MAX17643ATC+T handle output short-circuit conditions?
The MAX17643ATC+T employs hiccup-mode overload protection: upon detecting sustained overcurrent or output short, it suspends switching for 32,768 clock cycles before attempting soft-start again. This limits average power dissipation and prevents thermal damage while allowing automatic recovery once the fault clears - critical for unattended industrial systems.
Can the MAX17643ATC+T be synchronized to an external clock source?
Yes, the MAX17643ATC+T supports external frequency synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin. An external clock signal (logic-high >2.1V, logic-low <0.8V, pulse-width >50ns) can be coupled through a capacitor to align the internal oscillator. The internal frequency locks to the external clock after detecting 16 edges, enabling system-level timing coordination and EMI reduction.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the MAX17643ATC+T?
The EXTVCC pin on the MAX17643ATC+T accepts an external 4.84V–24V supply to power the internal 5V VCC LDO, bypassing the VIN-powered LDO. This improves efficiency at high input voltages (e.g., 48V) by reducing dropout losses. When EXTVCC is absent or below ~4.7V, the device automatically reverts to VIN-based VCC regulation.
