MAX17544
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
4.5V–42V, 3.5A, High-Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
With Internal Compensation
General Description
The MAX17544 high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronous
step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs
operates over 4.5V to 42V input. The converter can deliver
up to 3.5A and generates output voltages from 0.9V up to
0.9 x V_IN. The feedback (FB) voltage is accurate to within
±1.1% over -40°C to +125°C.
The MAX17544 uses peak-current-mode control. The
device can be operated in pulse-width modulation (PWM),
pulse-frequency modulation (PFM), or discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM) control schemes.
The device is available in a 20-pin (5mm x 5mm) TQFN
package. Simulation models are available.
