Product details
Overview
The MAXM15464AMB+ from Maxim Integrated is a fixed 5V, 300mA synchronous step-down DC-DC power module with integrated controller, MOSFETs, compensation, and inductor in a compact uSLIC™ package. It operates from 4.5V to 42V input, delivers ±1.5% feedback accuracy, features open-drain power-good (RESET), and supports PFM/PWM mode selection-ideal for space-constrained industrial sensor and 4–20mA loop-powered applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAXM15464AMB+ datasheet, MAXM15464AMB+ pinout, MAXM15464AMB+ application, or MAXM15464AMB+ equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, pin-level design meaning, real-world efficiency curves, and validated alternatives for drop-in or functionally comparable replacement in ruggedized embedded power rails.
Technical Context
The MAXM15464AMB+ employs peak-current-mode control architecture with fixed 4.1ms soft-start and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection. Its internal LDO supplies VCC at 4.75–5.25V (up to 30mA), while the RESET output asserts low when FB falls below 92% of regulation and releases after 2ms delay upon FB rising above 95.5%.
It integrates all power-stage components-including the inductor-and uses all-ceramic external capacitors. The MODE pin selects between fixed-frequency PWM (MODE = GND) and light-load PFM operation (MODE floating), enabling high efficiency across 5mA–300mA load range with <2.2μA shutdown current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 42V - supports wide industrial input rails including 24V and 36V systems without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±1.5% - factory-trimmed; no external feedback resistors required |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - sustained delivery under full load at +125°C ambient with proper PCB thermal layout |
| Switching Frequency | 465–535kHz - enables small external filter components and predictable EMI profile |
| Soft-Start Time | 4.1ms (typ) - limits inrush current during power-up; prevents system brownout on cold start |
| Shutdown Current | 2.2μA (typ) - ultra-low quiescent draw enables battery-backed or energy-harvesting standby modes |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C ambient / −40°C to +150°C junction - qualified for harsh industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin uSLIC™ (2.6mm × 3mm × 1.5mm, M102A3+2 outline), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (GND-connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 LX | Switching node | Internal connection to inductor and high-side/low-side MOSFETs; no external component; must be routed with minimal loop area |
| 2 GND | Power ground | Main return path for power and signal; connects to thermal pad; requires low-impedance plane tie |
| 3 RESET | Open-drain power-good | Asserts low if output drops <92% of 5V; pulls high-impedance after 2ms delay when FB >95.5%; requires external pull-up |
| 4 MODE | PFM/PWM mode select | Ground for forced PWM; floating for automatic PFM at light load; internal 500kΩ pull-up |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output | 5V output node; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor to GND close to pin for stability and transient response |
| 6 FB | Feedback reference | Connected directly to OUT for fixed 5V operation; not used for resistor divider (unlike MAXM15462) |
| 7 VCC | LDO output | Internal 5V supply for control circuitry; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| 8 EN/UVLO | Enable/UVLO input | Active-high enable; threshold 1.19–1.28V rising; programmable UVLO via resistor divider from VIN |
| 9–10 VIN | Power input | Dual pins for low-inductance, high-current input path; must be shorted externally and decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic near pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated inductor & power stage | Eliminates external inductor selection, layout sensitivity, and EMI tuning-reduces BOM count by ≥7 components |
| Internally compensated | No external compensation network required; stable with all-ceramic output capacitors (≥10µF) |
| Prebias startup support | Enables safe turn-on into precharged output rail-critical for hot-swap and redundant power systems |
| CISPR-22 Class B compliance | Meets conducted/radiated emissions limits without external filtering-simplifies EMC certification |
| Hiccup overcurrent protection | Auto-retry current limiting prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or short-circuit conditions |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAXM15464AMB+ over temperature and line?
The MAXM15464AMB+ delivers a fixed 5.00V output with ±1.5% regulation accuracy over the full −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range and 4.5V–42V input voltage range. This specification is guaranteed by design and characterization-not just typical-and applies under all load conditions up to 300mA.
Does the MAXM15464AMB+ require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, the MAXM15464AMB+ does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its 5V regulation is factory-trimmed and internally set. The FB pin is connected directly to the OUT pin per the datasheet-no resistor divider is used, unlike the adjustable MAXM15462.
How does the RESET pin on the MAXM15464AMB+ behave during startup and fault conditions?
The RESET pin on the MAXM15464AMB+ is an open-drain output that remains high-impedance until FB reaches 95.5% of 5V (~4.775V), then pulls high after a 2ms delay. It asserts low if FB drops below 92% of 5V (~4.6V), providing reliable power-good monitoring for microcontrollers and sequencers.
Can the MAXM15464AMB+ operate with a 5V input, and what is its minimum input voltage?
Yes, the MAXM15464AMB+ can operate with a 5V input. Its absolute minimum input voltage is 4.5V, making it compatible with nominal 5V rails-even with droop or ripple-while maintaining regulation and full 300mA output capability.
Is thermal derating required for the MAXM15464AMB+ at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, thermal derating is required. At +125°C ambient, the MAXM15464AMB+ delivers ~220mA continuous output (per Figure toc87). Derating follows a linear curve from 300mA at +25°C to zero at ~+150°C junction temperature-PCB copper area and airflow significantly impact actual performance.
