Product details
Overview
The MAX17783CATB+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, wide-input (6V–60V), 2.5A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side MOSFET, internal compensation, and ±1.6% output voltage regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. It operates in peak current-mode control with Low Iq mode for light-load efficiency and supports adjustable switching frequency from 400kHz to 2.2MHz - used in industrial power distribution, base-station supplies, and high-voltage single-board systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17783CATB+ datasheet, MAX17783CATB+ pinout, MAX17783CATB+ application, or MAX17783CATB+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10-pin TDFN package, 73ns minimum on-time, hiccup-mode overload protection, programmable EN/UVLO threshold, and built-in RESET monitoring with 92.1%–95.4% FB trip thresholds.
Technical Context
The MAX17783CATB+ implements peak current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting (IPEAK-LIMIT = 4A) and runaway protection (IRUNAWAY-LIMIT = 4.77A), enabling robust operation under overload and short-circuit conditions. Its internal LDO delivers 5V ±2.5% at up to 15mA from VIN, powering internal circuitry and recharging the bootstrap capacitor.
It features monotonic startup into prebiased outputs, adjustable soft-start via external capacitor, and external clock synchronization capability (1.1× to 1.4× fSW). Thermal shutdown activates at +154°C with 15°C hysteresis, and the device complies with CISPR32 Class B conducted/radiated emissions standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 60V - supports direct connection to 12V, 24V, 48V industrial rails and wall transformers without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 2.5A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core rails, DSPs, and multi-rail point-of-load applications. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.9V to 90% of VIN - enables flexible regulation from low-voltage logic (e.g., 0.9V for modern processors) to mid-rail supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 400kHz to 2.2MHz - selectable via RT/SYNC resistor or external clock; higher frequencies allow smaller inductors and capacitors. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1.6% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable output regulation across full industrial temperature range without calibration. |
| Quiescent Current | 205μA in Low Iq mode - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on systems like remote sensors or IoT gateways. |
| Min On-Time / Off-Time | 73ns / 140ns - enables high-frequency operation and wide VIN/VOUT ratios (e.g., 48V→3.3V at 500kHz). |
Pinout & Package
MAX17783CATB+ is housed in a compact 10-pin, 3mm × 3mm TDFN package with exposed pad (EP) for thermal dissipation. The package uses RoHS-compliant lead finish and is rated for junction temperatures up to +150°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Power input | Accepts 6V–60V supply; requires ≥2.2μF X7R ceramic decoupling close to pin for EMI suppression and transient response. |
| 2 EN/UVLO | Enable & input UVLO control | Resistor-divider programmable turn-on threshold (1.218V typical rising); pull low to disable device. |
| 3 GND | Power ground reference | Must connect to low-impedance ground plane; EP must be soldered to same ground for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| 4 RT/SYNC | Frequency programming / sync input | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; external clock input accepts 1.1×–1.4× fSW with >50ns pulse width and TTL-compatible levels. |
| 5 SS | Soft-start timing node | Capacitor-to-GND sets startup ramp time; prevents inrush current into large output capacitance banks. |
| 6 FB | Output voltage feedback | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates VOUT to 0.9V reference with ±1.6% accuracy across temperature. |
| 7 RESET | Open-drain power-good monitor | Asserts low when FB falls below 92.1% of setpoint; deasserts 1024 cycles after FB rises above 95.4%. |
| 8 VCC | Internal 5V LDO output | Bypass with 2.2μF ceramic; powers internal logic and recharges BST capacitor; not for external loading. |
| 9 BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate | Requires ≥0.1μF ceramic cap to LX and Schottky diode from VCC; enables efficient high-side MOSFET drive. |
| 10 LX | Switching node | Connects to inductor and freewheeling diode cathode; carries high di/dt pulsed current - layout critical for EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves stability across load/input variations. |
| Low Iq mode | Reduces input quiescent current to 205μA at light loads - extends battery life in standby or sensor-monitoring applications. |
| Hiccup-mode OCP | Shuts down for 32768 cycles upon overcurrent or FB undervoltage - limits power dissipation during sustained shorts without latch-off. |
| Prebiased output startup | Prevents reverse current flow into powered outputs - essential for hot-swap and redundant supply architectures. |
| CISPR32 Class B compliance | Meets conducted/radiated emission limits without additional filtering - reduces system-level EMC validation effort and cost. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 4.5V–65V input, 1.5A output, 100ns min on-time, no integrated VCC LDO - requires external bias. | Lacks RESET output and internal 5V LDO; suited for cost-sensitive automotive applications where external bias is available. | Choose LM5164QPWPRQ1 only if 1.5A output suffices and external VCC generation is acceptable. |
| TPS54260DGQR | 3.5V–60V input, 2.5A output, 100ns min on-time, no hiccup mode - latches off on overcurrent. | No built-in RESET or prebias startup; requires external PG circuitry and careful UVLO design for hot-swap use cases. | Select TPS54260DGQR when latch-off OCP is preferred and RESET monitoring is implemented externally. |
Compared with LM5164QPWPRQ1 and TPS54260DGQR, the MAX17783CATB+ provides superior integration (internal 5V LDO, RESET, hiccup OCP, prebias startup) and tighter regulation accuracy (±1.6% vs. ±2%), making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and telecom systems demanding high reliability and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX17783CATB+ across temperature?
The MAX17783CATB+ delivers up to 2.5A continuous output current over the full –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range. This rating accounts for thermal derating due to junction temperature limits (+150°C max) and internal high-side MOSFET RDS-ONH (158mΩ typical), verified under worst-case conditions including 60V input and 125°C ambient with proper PCB thermal design using the exposed pad.
Does the MAX17783CATB+ support synchronization to an external clock signal?
Yes, the MAX17783CATB+ supports external clock synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin. When an external clock is applied, the device locks to frequencies between 1.1× and 1.4× its internally programmed switching frequency. The external clock must meet VIH ≥ 2.1V, VIL ≤ 0.8V, and pulse width ≥ 50ns. Note that RT/SYNC must be terminated with a resistor (not left open) to enable this feature.
How does the MAX17783CATB+ handle startup into a prebiased output voltage?
The MAX17783CATB+ implements monotonic prebiased startup: the high-side MOSFET remains off until the SS pin voltage exceeds the FB pin voltage, preventing reverse current flow. Once aligned, VFB ramps smoothly to 0.9V while the output voltage tracks toward its target. This behavior is confirmed in the Functional Diagram and Detailed Description sections of the MAX17783C datasheet.
What is the purpose of the VCC pin on the MAX17783CATB+, and can it power external circuitry?
The VCC pin on the MAX17783CATB+ is the output of an internal 5V LDO regulator powered from VIN. It supplies current to internal logic blocks and recharges the BST capacitor. Per the datasheet, VCC is not intended for external loading - the LDO supports only up to 15mA and lacks external load regulation capability. Connecting external loads may cause VCC droop and unstable operation.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX17783CATB+?
The MAX17783CATB+ integrates hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (triggered at 4.77A runaway limit or FB < 0.58V), thermal shutdown (+154°C with 15°C hysteresis), programmable EN/UVLO, output voltage monitoring with open-drain RESET, and adjustable soft-start. All protections are fully internal - no external components required for basic fault coverage.
