Product details
Overview
MAXM17625AMB+T from Maxim Integrated is a Himalaya uSLIC synchronous step-down DC-DC power module with integrated MOSFETs, compensation network, and 1.5µH inductor. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 600mA output current, supports adjustable 0.8V–1.5V output voltage, and features fixed 2MHz switching frequency - ideal for space-constrained point-of-load regulation in battery-powered industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAXM17625AMB+T datasheet, MAXM17625AMB+T pinout, MAXM17625AMB+T application, or MAXM17625AMB+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±1% feedback accuracy, 1ms soft-start, open-drain PGOOD output, selectable PWM/PFM mode, and -40°C to +125°C ambient operating range.
Technical Context
The MAXM17625AMB+T employs peak-current-mode control with internal slope compensation and a fixed 2MHz oscillator. Its control loop is fully internally compensated, eliminating external compensation components and enabling stable operation with all-ceramic capacitors.
It integrates a high-side pMOSFET and low-side nMOSFET, uses a Kelvin-connected OUTSNS pin for accurate output sensing, and implements cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection with 1.45A (typ) peak inductor current limit. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C junction temperature with 10°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and standard 3.3V/5V rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 1.5V - programmable via external resistor divider on FB pin; covers core voltages for microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA - sufficient for powering low-power SoCs, ADCs, and sensor signal chains without thermal derating in typical layouts. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.00MHz (±4%) - enables compact filter design using small 0603/0805 ceramic capacitors and eliminates audible noise. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% - ensures tight output regulation across line, load, and temperature for precision analog and digital loads. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1μA (typ) - minimizes battery drain in always-on systems during deep sleep or standby modes. |
| Soft-Start Time | 1ms (typ) - prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up, protecting downstream circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
MAXM17625AMB+T is housed in a 10-pin, 2.6mm × 2.1mm × 1.35mm uSLIC package - a molded, surface-mount module with integrated inductor and exposed PGND pad for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LX | Switching Node | Internal connection to inductor and MOSFET switches; no external connection required - isolated from PCB routing. |
| OUTSNS | Output Voltage Sense | Kelvin sense input for precise output regulation; must connect directly to COUT positive terminal to reject trace IR drop. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Monitors divided output voltage; sets regulated VOUT via external R1/R2 divider referenced to SGND. |
| PGOOD | Power Good Output | Open-drain signal asserted high when VOUT ≥93.5% of target; used for system power sequencing and fault monitoring. |
| MODE | Operation Mode Select | Ground for forced-PWM (fixed 2MHz); floating for PFM (pulse-skipping at light loads) - latched at power-up only. |
| OUT | Regulated Output | Main power output node; connects to output capacitor (COUT) and load; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (e.g., 22μF X7R). |
| EN | Enable Input | Active-high logic control; >2V enables regulation, <0.8V disables with <0.1μA quiescent current. |
| SGND | Signal Ground | Reference for FB, MODE, PGOOD, and EN; must be tied to PGND at single point near IN bypass capacitor. |
| PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for input/output capacitors and internal MOSFETs; requires large copper pour and multiple vias. |
| IN | Input Supply | Primary power input; requires local 2.2μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to IN and PGND pins. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Inductor | 1.5µH ±20% embedded in package - eliminates external inductor selection, layout sensitivity, and EMI filtering complexity. |
| Internally Compensated | No external compensation components needed - reduces BOM count, layout area, and tuning effort for stable operation. |
| Prebias Startup | Supports soft-start into precharged output without discharging COUT - essential for multi-rail digital systems with staggered power-up. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Operation | Maintains regulation down to VOUT ≈ VIN − 0.13×IOUT - extends usable input range in low-dropout scenarios. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes overtemperature shutdown (165°C), cycle-by-cycle overcurrent (1.45A peak), and undervoltage lockout (2.6V typ). |
| All-Ceramic Capacitor Support | Stable with X7R/X5R MLCCs only - eliminates electrolytic/tantalum, improving lifetime, reliability, and temperature stability. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAXM17626AMB+T | Fixed 4MHz switching frequency; supports 1.5V–3.3V output range; uses 1μH inductor. | Targeted at higher-output-voltage rails (e.g., 2.5V/3.3V I/O) where smaller inductance enables faster transient response. | Select MAXM17626AMB+T when output voltage >1.5V is required; not pin-compatible due to different FB voltage divider scaling and frequency. |
| TPS826718SIPR | 2.5V–5.5V input; 0.8V–2.5V output; 1.2MHz switching; 1.2A rating; 2.05mm × 2.45mm × 1.05mm package. | Higher current capability and lower profile, but requires external compensation and lacks PGOOD output. | Choose TPS826718SIPR for higher load current or thinner form factor; verify loop stability with external compensation components. |
Compared with MAXM17625AMB+T, MAXM17626AMB+T offers higher-frequency operation and wider output range but is not interchangeable without redesigning the feedback network and layout. TPS826718SIPR provides greater current headroom and smaller height but sacrifices integrated PGOOD and internal compensation - increasing design validation effort.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAXM17625AMB+T?
The MAXM17625AMB+T delivers up to 600mA of continuous output current across its full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C ambient). This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design - including adequate PGND copper area and multiple thermal vias - and operation within the specified input voltage (2.7V–5.5V) and output voltage (0.8V–1.5V) ranges. Peak inductor current limit is 1.45A (typ), supporting transient loads without foldback.
Does the MAXM17625AMB+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAXM17625AMB+T does not require external compensation components. It features a fully internally compensated control loop optimized for stability with all-ceramic input and output capacitors. This eliminates the need for external RC networks, simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and ensures consistent performance across manufacturing lots and temperature extremes without tuning.
How is the output voltage set on the MAXM17625AMB+T?
The output voltage of the MAXM17625AMB+T is set using an external resistor divider connected between OUT, FB, and SGND. The FB pin regulates to a precise 0.8V reference, so VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). For example, to set 1.2V output, use R2 = 37.4kΩ and R1 = 19.1kΩ. R2 must be ≤37.4kΩ to maintain bias current accuracy; recommended tolerances are ±1% for both resistors.
What is the function of the OUTSNS pin on the MAXM17625AMB+T?
The OUTSNS pin on the MAXM17625AMB+T provides Kelvin sensing of the output voltage at the load side of the output capacitor. It must be connected directly to the positive terminal of COUT using a dedicated trace to reject voltage drop across PCB traces and ensure accurate regulation. This feature maintains ±1% output accuracy even under high-current, high-ESR conditions and improves load transient response by closing the feedback loop at the true output node.
Can the MAXM17625AMB+T start up into a prebiased output?
Yes, the MAXM17625AMB+T supports startup into a prebiased output without discharging the output capacitor. This feature works in both PWM and PFM modes and is critical for multi-rail systems where other supplies may already be active. During prebias startup, the internal control logic prevents reverse current flow through the low-side MOSFET, avoiding output voltage collapse and ensuring reliable power sequencing in complex embedded platforms.
