Product details
Overview
MAX17662BATE+ from Analog Devices is a Himalaya-series synchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 2A output current across a 3.5V–36V input range. It features peak-current-mode control, programmable switching frequency (400kHz–2.2MHz), ±1.33% output voltage regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and internal compensation eliminating external loop components. It serves as a compact, high-efficiency point-of-load regulator in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17662BATE+ datasheet, MAX17662BATE+ pinout, MAX17662BATE+ application, or MAX17662BATE+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2A continuous output capability, TQFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) package thermal performance, DCM/PWM mode flexibility for light-load efficiency, and built-in hiccup-mode overload protection for robust operation in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The MAX17662BATE+ employs a peak-current-mode control architecture with an internal transconductance error amplifier, slope compensation, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Its dual LDO structure (IN-LDO and EXT-LDO) enables seamless bias sourcing from either VIN or EXTVCC (2.448V–12V), improving efficiency at high input voltages.
It supports monotonic startup into prebiased outputs, adjustable EN/UVLO thresholds (1.194V–1.303V), and open-drain RESET monitoring with 92.0%–97.0% VFB_REG trip points. The device integrates thermal shutdown (+160°C trigger, 20°C hysteresis) and hiccup-mode OCP with 32,768-cycle timeout for sustained short-circuit protection.
Key Specifications

| Package | 16-pin TQFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) - exposed pad improves thermal dissipation (θJC = 4°C/W); compatible with standard reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17662BATE+ is housed in a 16-pin, 3mm × 3mm TQFN-EP package with exposed thermal pad (EP). The EP must be soldered to SGND and connected to a large copper plane with ≥4 thermal vias for optimal junction-to-ambient thermal performance (θJA = 38°C/W on four-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 EN/UVLO | Enable / Input UVLO Input | Resistive divider connection sets turn-on threshold (1.194V–1.303V rising); pull low below 0.75V for true shutdown. |
| 2 VCC | 1.8V Internal LDO Output | Powers internal logic and low-side gate driver; bypassed with 2.2μF ceramic capacitor to SGND. |
| 3 SGND | Signal Ground Reference | Reference node for FB, SS, MODE, RT, RESET; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 MODE | Operation Mode Select | Connect to SGND for forced PWM (constant frequency); connect to VCC for DCM (light-load efficiency). |
| 5 SS | Soft-Start Timing Input | Capacitor to SGND sets ramp time (e.g., 6.8nF → 0.82ms); prevents inrush current during startup. |
| 6 FB | Feedback Voltage Input | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates VOUT from 0.6V to 90% of VIN with ±1.33% accuracy. |
| 7 RT | Frequency Programming Input | Resistor to SGND sets fSW (400kHz–2.2MHz); open circuit defaults to 500kHz. |
| 8 RESET | Open-Drain Fault Indicator | Asserts low if FB falls below 92.0% VFB_REG, during thermal shutdown, or EN/UVLO undervoltage. |
| 9 EXTVCC | External Bias Supply Input | Accepts 2.448V–12V to power VCC via EXT-LDO, improving efficiency at high VIN; connect to SGND if unused. |
| 10 BST | Bootstrap Capacitor Node | 0.1μF ceramic cap between BST and LX provides gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| 11–12 LX | Switching Node Outputs | Connect directly to inductor switch node; carries high di/dt; requires tight layout and Kelvin routing. |
| 13–14 PGND | Power Ground Terminals | Low-impedance return path for high-current switching loops; must be tied to thermal pad and solid ground plane. |
| 15–16 VIN | Main Power Input Pins | 3.5V–36V supply inputs; decoupled with ≥2.2μF ceramic capacitors placed adjacent to pins. |
| EP | Exposed Thermal Pad | Must be soldered to SGND and thermally connected to large copper area with ≥4 vias for θJC = 4°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous MOSFET Integration | Integrated 130mΩ high-side and 90mΩ low-side nMOSFETs eliminate external Schottky diode and reduce BOM count. |
| Internal Compensation | Eliminates external Type-II/III compensation network - simplifies design, reduces layout sensitivity, and accelerates time-to-market. |
| DCM/PWM Mode Flexibility | MODE pin selects between constant-frequency PWM (all loads) or discontinuous conduction mode (light-load efficiency >85%). |
| Hiccup-Mode Overcurrent Protection | 32,768-cycle shutdown timeout limits average power dissipation during sustained short-circuit events. |
| Prebiased Output Startup | Supports monotonic ramp-up when output is precharged - prevents reverse current flow and system instability. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX17662BATE+?
The MAX17662BATE+ delivers up to 2A continuous output current across its full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This rating is validated with proper thermal management - including connection of the exposed pad (EP) to SGND and use of ≥4 thermal vias - and assumes adequate input capacitance and PCB copper area per the evaluation kit layout guidelines.
Does the MAX17662BATE+ support adjustable switching frequency, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX17662BATE+ supports programmable switching frequency from 400kHz to 2.2MHz using an external resistor connected from the RT pin to SGND. The relationship is RRT(kΩ) = 20625 / (fSW(kHz) − 1). Leaving RT unconnected sets the default frequency to 500kHz. This adjustment enables optimization of inductor size, efficiency, and EMI performance for each application.
How does the MODE pin affect the operation of the MAX17662BATE+?
The MODE pin on the MAX17662BATE+ selects between two operating modes: connecting MODE to SGND enables forced PWM mode (constant frequency at all loads), while connecting MODE to VCC enables DCM mode (discontinuous conduction at light loads for enhanced efficiency). The setting is latched at power-up after VIN, VCC, and EN/UVLO exceed their respective UVLO thresholds.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX17662BATE+?
The MAX17662BATE+ integrates hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (triggered when FB drops below 0.390V), thermal shutdown (+160°C junction, 20°C hysteresis), adjustable EN/UVLO, output voltage monitoring with open-drain RESET, and prebiased output startup. These features ensure reliable operation in industrial environments subject to load faults, thermal stress, and input transients.
Can the MAX17662BATE+ operate with a precharged output, and how is this handled?
Yes, the MAX17662BATE+ supports monotonic startup into a prebiased output. During prebias conditions, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs remain off until the PWM comparator commands the first pulse, preventing reverse current flow. The output then ramps smoothly to the target voltage aligned with the internal reference - avoiding overshoot or latch-up in systems with backup supplies or hot-swap configurations.
