Product details
Overview
MAX17645DATA+ from Analog Devices is a 4.5V to 36V input, 1A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side pMOS and low-side nMOS FETs, internal loop compensation, and PFM light-load operation. It delivers up to 1A at adjustable output voltages from 0.9V to 89% of VIN, achieves 90% full-load efficiency at 24VIN/5VOUT, and operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient for industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17645DATA+ datasheet, MAX17645DATA+ pinout, MAX17645DATA+ application, or MAX17645DATA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its PFM-mode quiescent current (115–170µA), 650kHz fixed switching frequency, 0.915V feedback regulation voltage, hiccup-mode overload protection, and TDFN-8 (2mm × 2mm) package compatibility with compact point-of-load designs.
Technical Context
The MAX17645DATA+ implements peak-current-mode control with slope compensation and operates exclusively in PFM mode at light loads-disabling negative inductor current and entering hibernate cycles to achieve high light-load efficiency. Its internal LDO generates a regulated 5V VCC rail from VIN, enabling self-powered gate drive and internal circuitry without external bias.
It features monotonic startup into prebiased outputs, programmable EN/UVLO thresholds (1.215V rising, 1.09V falling), open-drain RESET monitoring (95.5% rising / 92% falling thresholds), and robust protection including cycle-by-cycle peak current limit (1.88A typ), runaway current limit (2.44A typ), thermal shutdown (166°C), and CISPR32 Class B compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 36V - supports wide industrial and automotive supply rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 1A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 650kHz (typ) - enables use of small 6.8µH–10µH inductors and compact ceramic capacitors. |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.915V (typ) - sets precise output regulation with ±1.1% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. |
| Light-Load Quiescent Current | 115–170µA - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 2.2µA (typ) - enables ultra-low-power system sleep states with true shutdown via EN/UVLO. |
| Efficiency @ 24VIN/5VOUT/1A | 90% (typ) - reduces thermal load and simplifies heatsinking in enclosed industrial enclosures. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for factory automation, transportation, and harsh-environment deployments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TDFN (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation (θJA = 72°C/W on 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Power Input | Primary HV input rail connection; requires local 2.2µF ceramic decoupling to PGND for EMI suppression and transient response. |
| 2 EN/UVLO | Enable & UVLO Control | Programmable enable threshold (1.215V rise); drives device into true shutdown (<2.2µA IIN) when pulled below 0.75V. |
| 3 VCC | LDO Output | Internally generated 5V supply (±5%); powers gate drivers and logic; bypassed with 1µF ceramic to SGND. |
| 4 FB | Voltage Feedback | High-impedance input sensing output divider; regulates VOUT to 0.915V reference with ±1.1% accuracy over temperature. |
| 5 RESET | Open-Drain Status | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 92% of setpoint; releases high-impedance 1.6ms after VOUT exceeds 95.5% - provides reliable power-good signaling. |
| 6 SGND | Signal Ground | Analog reference return for FB, EN/UVLO, RESET; must be star-connected to PGND at output capacitor to avoid noise coupling. |
| 7 PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for LX and input/output capacitors; connects directly to power plane to minimize ground bounce and EMI. |
| 8 LX | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; high-impedance during shutdown; requires tight layout to minimize parasitic inductance and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Synchronous FETs | Eliminates need for external Schottky diode and reduces conduction losses - enables >90% full-load efficiency without discrete MOSFETs. |
| Internal Loop Compensation | Removes requirement for external compensation network - simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and ensures stable operation across full output voltage range (0.9V–89% VIN). |
| PFM Light-Load Operation | Reduces quiescent current to 115–170µA and improves light-load efficiency - critical for always-on industrial sensors and asset trackers with intermittent activity. |
| Monotonic Startup into Prebiased Outputs | Prevents output capacitor discharge during hot-swap or multi-rail sequencing - protects downstream logic and avoids system reset glitches. |
| Hiccup-Mode Overcurrent Protection | Triggers 100ms suspension after single runaway event (2.44A) - limits power dissipation during short-circuit faults while enabling automatic recovery. |
| CISPR32 Class B Compliance | Meets radiated emission limits for commercial/industrial equipment without additional filtering - accelerates EMC certification for end products. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480RQWR | 4.5V–36V input, 8A output, 2.1MHz switching, no PFM mode - higher current, higher frequency, PWM-only operation. | Targets high-power applications (e.g., servo drives); unsuitable for ultra-low-IQ or prebias startup requirements. | Select LM61480RQWR only when >1A output or faster transient response is required; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and control architecture. |
| TPS54202HDDCR | 4.5V–28V input, 2A output, 600kHz, PFM/PWM auto-mode, 45µA IQ - lower IQ but narrower VIN range and no true shutdown. | Better for cost-sensitive consumer electronics; lacks CISPR32 Class B compliance and -40°C to +125°C qualification. | Choose TPS54202HDDCR for lower-quiescent, non-industrial applications; verify thermal performance and EMC compliance separately. |
Compared with LM61480RQWR and TPS54202HDDCR, the MAX17645DATA+ uniquely balances 1A capability, PFM-mode ultra-low IQ, full industrial temperature range, and integrated protection - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, and always-on industrial edge devices where reliability and regulatory compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the primary operating mode of the MAX17645DATA+?
The MAX17645DATA+ operates exclusively in pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) mode at light loads to maximize efficiency and minimize quiescent current. Unlike the MAX17645B variant, it disables negative inductor current and enters hibernate cycles during low-load conditions - achieving 115–170µA typical quiescent current and improving battery life in always-on applications.
Does the MAX17645DATA+ require external compensation components?
No, the MAX17645DATA+ integrates full control-loop compensation internally across its entire output voltage range (0.9V to 89% of VIN). This eliminates the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks, reduces component count, saves PCB area, and guarantees stability without design iteration - a key advantage over controllers requiring external compensation.
What is the function of the RESET pin on the MAX17645DATA+?
The RESET pin on the MAX17645DATA+ is an open-drain output that signals power-good status: it goes high-impedance 1.6ms after the output voltage rises above 95.5% of its nominal setpoint, and pulls low when the output falls below 92% of setpoint. It also asserts low during hiccup-mode timeout and thermal shutdown - providing deterministic system-level fault detection and sequencing control.
Can the MAX17645DATA+ start up into a prebiased output?
Yes, the MAX17645DATA+ supports monotonic startup into prebiased outputs without discharging the output capacitor - a critical feature for multi-rail systems and hot-swap applications. This behavior is maintained in both PFM and forced-PWM modes, ensuring safe power sequencing for FPGAs, processors, and mixed-voltage SoCs without risk of back-driving or latch-up.
What protection features are built into the MAX17645DATA+?
The MAX17645DATA+ includes cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (1.88A typ), runaway current limiting (2.44A typ), hiccup-mode overload protection (100ms timeout), thermal shutdown (166°C with 10°C hysteresis), and output undervoltage monitoring via RESET. These protections operate autonomously without external components - ensuring robust operation under short-circuit, overtemperature, and overvoltage fault conditions in unattended industrial deployments.
