Product details
Overview
MAXM17623AMB+T from Maxim Integrated is a Himalaya-series synchronous step-down DC-DC power module integrating MOSFETs, compensation circuitry, and a 1.5µH inductor in a compact uSLIC™ package. It operates from 2.9V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 1A output current, supports adjustable 0.8V–1.5V output voltage with ±1% feedback accuracy, and runs at a fixed 2MHz switching frequency-ideal for space-constrained point-of-load regulation in battery-powered industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAXM17623AMB+T datasheet, MAXM17623AMB+T pinout, MAXM17623AMB+T application, or MAXM17623AMB+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated inductor, 1ms soft-start, PGOOD open-drain output, MODE-selectable PWM/PFM operation, and -40°C to +125°C ambient operating range.
Technical Context
The MAXM17623AMB+T employs peak-current-mode control with internal slope compensation and a fixed 2MHz oscillator. Its controller features cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection (1.7A typical peak limit), thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis, and prebias startup capability without output capacitor discharge.
It uses an internally compensated architecture requiring only external FB resistors and ceramic input/output capacitors. The device supports 100% duty-cycle operation, enables seamless transition between PWM (fixed-frequency) and PFM (pulse-skipping) modes via the MODE pin, and provides precise output regulation via a 0.8V reference at the FB pin with ±1% accuracy over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB 5V, and standard 3.3V/5V rails |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 1.5V - factory-configured for low-voltage digital ICs (e.g., microcontrollers, FPGAs) |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for core logic rails in portable and industrial edge devices |
| Switching Frequency | 2.00 MHz (±4%) - enables use of small external capacitors and reduces EMI filtering burden |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% - ensures tight output regulation across load, line, and temperature for sensitive analog/digital loads |
| Soft-Start Time | 1 ms typical - prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical - preserves battery life in always-on or low-power wake-up systems |
Pinout & Package
MAXM17623AMB+T is housed in a 10-pin, 2.6mm × 2.1mm × 1.3mm uSLIC™ package (package code MA102A2+1), featuring separate signal (SGND) and power (PGND) ground pins for noise isolation and optimized thermal performance on four-layer PCBs (θJA = 77°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LX | Switching node | Internal connection to high-side/low-side MOSFET drains; no external component required |
| OUTSNS | Output voltage sense | Kelvin connection point to COUT positive terminal for accurate remote sensing and load regulation |
| FB | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; sets output voltage with 0.8V internal reference |
| PGOOD | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserting high when VOUT ≥ 93.5% of target; deasserts after 184µs post-soft-start |
| MODE | Operating mode select | Ground for forced-PWM; floating for automatic PFM at light loads |
| OUT | Regulated output | Main power delivery path to load; connects directly to COUT and PGND |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; >2V enables, <0.8V disables with sub-µA quiescent draw |
| SGND | Signal ground | Reference for FB, MODE, PGOOD, and EN; must tie to PGND at VIN decoupling capacitor |
| PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for LX and OUT; requires low-impedance plane connection |
| IN | Input supply | Primary power input; requires local 2.2µF ceramic decoupling to PGND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated inductor | 1.5µH ±20% embedded in-package - eliminates external inductor layout, BOM count, and EMI tuning |
| Internally compensated | No external compensation components needed - reduces design iterations and validation time |
| Prebias startup | Supports soft-start into precharged output without discharging COUT - essential for multi-rail SoC/FPGA sequencing |
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Compatible with low-ESR X5R/X7R MLCCs only - simplifies sourcing and improves reliability vs. electrolytics |
| Robust protection suite | Includes overcurrent (1.7A peak limit), thermal shutdown (165°C), and continuous short-circuit tolerance - enables unattended operation in harsh environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down power module applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAXM17624AMB+T | Fixed 4MHz switching frequency; 1µH inductor; supports 1.5V–3.3V output range | Targeted at higher-output-voltage rails (e.g., 2.5V/3.3V I/O supplies); less suitable for sub-1.2V core rails | Select MAXM17624AMB+T only when output voltage >1.5V and higher switching frequency is required for EMI suppression. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the MAXM17623AMB+T?
The MAXM17623AMB+T supports up to 1A of continuous output current under specified thermal conditions (TA ≤ +125°C, four-layer board). Derating applies above +85°C ambient; full 1A is guaranteed at VIN = 3.3V and VOUT = 1.2V with proper PCB copper area. The device includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection limiting peak inductor current to 1.7A typical.
Does the MAXM17623AMB+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAXM17623AMB+T is fully internally compensated. No external compensation network (e.g., type-II or type-III compensator) is needed-only the FB resistor divider and input/output ceramic capacitors are required. This eliminates stability tuning and reduces bill-of-materials count and layout complexity.
Can the MAXM17623AMB+T start up into a prebiased output?
Yes, the MAXM17623AMB+T supports startup into a prebiased output in both PWM and PFM modes without discharging the output capacitor. This feature is critical for multi-rail systems (e.g., FPGAs or processors with sequenced supplies) where downstream rails may already be energized when the MAXM17623AMB+T is enabled.
What is the function of the MODE pin on the MAXM17623AMB+T?
The MODE pin selects the light-load operating mode: grounding MODE forces constant-frequency PWM operation at all loads; leaving MODE floating enables automatic PFM mode under light loads (<350mA for 64 cycles), improving efficiency. The state is latched at power-up and cannot be changed dynamically during operation.
How does the PGOOD pin behave during startup and fault conditions?
The PGOOD pin is an open-drain output that asserts high (when pulled up externally) 184µs after soft-start completion, provided VOUT reaches ≥93.5% of the target. It deasserts low if VOUT falls below 90% of target-such as during overload, short circuit, or input UVLO-and remains low until regulation is restored and soft-start completes again.
