Product details
Overview
The MAXM17712AMB+ from Analog Devices is a dual-output Himalaya uSLIC power module integrating a 4V–60V, 150mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter and a 50mA, high-PSRR linear regulator in a single 10-pin (2.6mm × 3mm × 1.5mm) package. It delivers fixed 3.3V from the buck stage and 1.8V from the LDO, with ±1.3% LDO output accuracy, 5.1ms buck soft-start, and -40°C to +125°C ambient operation - used in industrial sensors and programmable logic controllers requiring compact, robust dual-rail power.
For engineers reviewing the MAXM17712AMB+ datasheet, MAXM17712AMB+ pinout, MAXM17712AMB+ application, or MAXM17712AMB+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated inductor, adjustable switching frequency (350kHz–2.2MHz), open-drain RESET output with 2.1ms delay, PFM/PWM mode selection, and compliance with CISPR22 Class B emissions.
Technical Context
The MAXM17712AMB+ employs peak-current-mode control for the step-down converter and features independent internal compensation for both buck and LDO stages - eliminating external compensation components. Its architecture supports prebias startup, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (295mA peak limit), and thermal shutdown at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis.
It uses a cascaded topology: the buck output (3.3V) powers the LDO input, enabling low-noise, high-PSRR regulation. The MODE/SYNC pin selects between forced PWM (fixed frequency, negative inductor current allowed) and PFM (pulse-skipping, >92mA peak current threshold), with external clock synchronization capability up to 1.4× fSW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 60V - supports wide industrial and battery-derived supplies without external pre-regulation. |
| Buck Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V - eliminates external feedback resistors; ±2% FB accuracy ensures stable rail generation. |
| LDO Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V - specified for MAXM17712 variant; ±1.33% accuracy at 10mA load enables precision core supply. |
| Max Output Currents | 150mA (buck), 50mA (LDO) - total system load limited to 150mA including LDO draw. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 350kHz–2.2MHz via RT resistor - allows EMI optimization and size/efficiency tradeoffs. |
| Soft-Start Time | 5.1ms (buck), 1.1ms (LDO) - prevents inrush, enables controlled power-up into prebiased rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 70μA (no-load, PFM), 2.5μA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for harsh industrial environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin uSLIC™ (2.6mm × 3mm × 1.5mm, M102A3+3 outline), RoHS-compliant, with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation (θJA = 45°C/W on 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LX | Switching node | Internal connection to high-side/low-side MOSFETs; no external components permitted - avoids layout-induced ringing or EMI. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Single-point grounding required; connects to internal power ground plane and all circuit returns for noise immunity. |
| MODE/SYNC | Mode control & sync input | Ground for PWM; floating for PFM; accepts external clock (1.1–1.4× fSW) for synchronized multi-rail systems. |
| RESET | Open-drain power-good output | Pulled high externally; asserts low if FB <92% or OUTL <91.5% of nominal - enables system-level fault detection and sequencing. |
| OUTB | Buck output / LDO input | Delivers 3.3V to load and powers LDO stage; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| OUTL | LDO output | Provides regulated 1.8V; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND for PSRR and transient response. |
| FB | Buck feedback input | Internally connected to 3.3V output (fixed-voltage variant); no external divider needed - simplifies layout and reduces component count. |
| RT | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; unconnected defaults to 610kHz - enables EMI tuning without changing PCB. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable & input UVLO | 1.215V threshold; resistor divider from IN sets turn-on voltage ≥4V - supports brownout protection and controlled enable sequencing. |
| IN | Buck input supply | Accepts 4V–60V; decoupled with 1µF X7R ceramic - handles transients and reduces input ripple propagation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated inductor & compensation | Eliminates 2–3 external components per rail and removes loop-stability tuning effort - reduces design cycle by ~3 weeks. |
| Selectable PWM/PFM operation | PFM improves light-load efficiency (>85% at 1mA); PWM ensures fixed-frequency EMI profile - selectable per application need. |
| Prebias startup support | Enables safe power-up into existing 3.3V/1.8V rails without discharging output caps - critical for FPGA/CPU multi-rail sequencing. |
| Hiccup overcurrent protection | Auto-retries after 51ms timeout during short-circuit - protects internal FETs and inductor without latch-off or manual reset. |
| CISPR22 Class B compliance | Meets conducted/radiated emissions limits without external filters - reduces EMC debug time and BOM cost. |
| Rugged mechanical qualification | Passes JESD22-B103 (drop), B104 (shock), B111 (vibration) - suitable for transportation and field-deployed industrial equipment. |

FAQ
What is the LDO output voltage of the MAXM17712AMB+?
The MAXM17712AMB+ delivers a fixed 1.8V output from its integrated linear regulator. This value is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet, where it is explicitly assigned to the MAXM17712 variant within the MAXM17710–MAXM17726 family. The LDO accuracy is ±1.33% at 10mA load, supporting precision low-noise applications such as MCU cores and analog sensors.
Does the MAXM17712AMB+ require external compensation components?
No, the MAXM17712AMB+ does not require external compensation components. Its step-down converter and linear regulator each feature independent internal compensation circuits, as stated in the Detailed Description section. This integration eliminates the need for external capacitors or resistors typically used for loop stability tuning - reducing bill-of-materials count and layout complexity while ensuring consistent performance across temperature and load conditions.
Can the MAXM17712AMB+ operate with a prebiased output voltage?
Yes, the MAXM17712AMB+ supports startup into a prebiased output without discharging the output capacitor, in both PFM and forced-PWM modes. This capability is documented in the "Startup Into a Prebiased Step-Down Converter Output" subsection of the datasheet. It enables reliable power sequencing in multi-rail systems such as FPGAs or SoCs where one rail may already be active before the MAXM17712AMB+ is enabled.
What is the function of the MODE/SYNC pin on the MAXM17712AMB+?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the MAXM17712AMB+ serves two functions: mode selection and external clock synchronization. Grounding the pin enables fixed-frequency PWM operation; leaving it unconnected activates PFM mode for improved light-load efficiency. When an external clock signal (1.1–1.4× fSW) is applied, the internal oscillator synchronizes to it - enabling deterministic timing across multiple MAXM17712AMB+ modules in tightly coordinated power systems.
Is the MAXM17712AMB+ compliant with electromagnetic interference standards?
Yes, the MAXM17712AMB+ complies with CISPR22 (EN55022) Class B conducted and radiated emissions requirements, as verified in the Benefits and Features section. This certification means it meets stringent EMI limits for residential and commercial environments without requiring additional filtering components - simplifying system-level EMC validation and reducing board area and cost.
