MAX17623

2.9V to 5.5V,1A, Synchronous Step-Down
Converter with Integrated MOSFETs
Detailed Description
MAX17623 and MAX17624 are high-frequency synchronous step-down DC-DC converters, with integrated MOSFETs
and compensation components, that operate over a 2.9V to 5.5V input-voltage range. MAX17623 and MAX17624 support
up to 1A load current and allows use of small, low-cost input and output capacitors. The output voltage can be adjusted
from 0.8V to 3.3V.
When the EN pin is asserted, an internal power-up sequence ramps up the error-amplifier reference, resulting in outputvoltage soft-start. The FB pin monitors the output voltage through a resistor-divider. The devices select either PFM or
forced-PWM mode depending on the state of the MODE pin at power-up. By pulling the EN pin to low, the devices enter
shutdown mode and consume only 0.1μA (typ) of standby current.
The devices use an internally compensated, fixed-frequency, peak-current mode control scheme. On the falling edge of
an internal clock, the high-side pMOSFET turns on, and continues to be on during normal operation until at least the rising
edge of the clock (for 40ns). An internal error amplifier compares the feedback voltage to a fixed internal reference voltage
and generates an error voltage. The error voltage is compared to a sum of the current-sense voltage and a slopecompensation voltage by a PWM comparator to set the on-time. During the on-time of the pMOSFET, the inductor current
ramps up. For the remainder of the switching period (off-time), the pMOSFET is kept off and the low-side nMOSFET turns
on. During the off-time, the inductor releases the stored energy as the inductor current ramps down, providing current to
the output. Under overload conditions, the cycle-by-cycle current-limit feature limits the inductor peak current by turning
off the high-side pMOSFET and turning on the low-side nMOSFET.
Mode Selection (MODE)
The logic state of the MODE pin is latched after the EN pin goes above its rising threshold and all internal voltages are
ready to allow LX switching. If the MODE pin is unconnected at power-up, the part operates in PFM mode at light loads.
If the MODE pin is grounded at power-up, the part operates in constant-frequency PWM mode at all loads. State changes
on the MODE pin are ignored during normal operation.
PWM Operation
In PWM mode, the device output current is allowed to go negative. PWM operation is useful in frequency sensitive
applications and provides fixed switching frequency operation at all loads. However, PWM-mode of operation gives lower
efficiency at light loads compared to PFM-mode of operation.
PFM Operation
PFM mode of operation disables negative output current from the device and skips pulses at light loads for better
efficiency. At low-load currents, if the peak value of the inductor current is less than 350mA for 64 consecutive cycles,
and the inductor current reaches zero, the part enters PFM mode. In PFM mode, When the FB pin voltage is below 0.8V,
the high-side switch is turned on until the inductor current reaches 500mA. After the high-side switch is turned OFF, the
low-side switch is turned ON until the inductor current comes down to zero and LX enters a high-impedance state. If the
FB pin voltage is greater than 0.8V for 3 consecutive CLK falling edges after LX enters a high-impedance state, the device
continues to operate in PFM mode. In PFM mode, the part hibernates when the FB pin voltage is above 0.8V for 5
consecutive switching cycles after LX enters a high-impedance state. If the FB pin voltage drops below 0.8V within 3
consecutive CLK falling edges after LX enters a high-impedance state, the part comes out of PFM mode.
EN Input (EN), Soft-Start
When the EN pin voltage is above 2V (min), the internal error-amplifier reference voltage starts to ramp up. The duration
of the soft-start ramp is 1ms (typ), allowing a smooth increase of the output voltage. Driving EN low disables both power
MOSFETs, as well as other internal circuitry, and reduces IN quiescent current to below 0.1μA.
Power Good (PGOOD)
The devices include an open-drain power good output that indicates the output voltage status. PGOOD goes high when
the output voltage is above 93.5% of the target value and goes low when the output voltage is below 90% of the target
value. During startup, the PGOOD pin goes high after 184μs of soft-start completion.

Converter with Integrated MOSFETs
Startup into a Prebiased Output
The devices are capable of soft-start into a prebiased output, without discharging the output capacitor in both the PFM
and forced-PWM modes. Such a feature is useful in applications where digital integrated circuits with multiple rails are
powered.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
The device can provide 100% duty-cycle operation. In this mode, the high-side switch is constantly turned on, while the
low-side switch is turned off. This is particularly useful in battery-powered applications to achieve the longest operation
time by taking full advantage of the whole battery-voltage range. The minimum input voltage to maintain the output-voltage
regulation can be calculated as:
VIN_MIN = VOUT +(IOUT × RON )
where,
VIN = Minimum input voltage
VOUT = Target output voltage
RON = Sum of the high-side FET on-resistance and the output inductor DCR
Undervoltage Lockout
The device features an integrated input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) feature that turns the device on/off based on the
voltage at the IN pin. The device turns on if the IN pin voltage is higher than the UVLO threshold (V IN_UVLO) of 2.8V (typ)
(assuming EN is at logic-high) and turns off when the IN pin voltage is 200mV (VIN_UVLO_HYS) below the VIN_UVLO.
Overcurrent Protection
The MAX17623/MAX17624 are provided with a robust overcurrent protection (OCP) scheme that protects the devices
under overload and output short-circuit conditions. When overcurrent is detected in the inductor, the switches are
controlled by a mechanism, which detects both the high-side MOSFET and low-side MOSFET currents and compares
them with the respective limits. Whenever the inductor current exceeds the internal peak current limit of 2A (typ), the highside MOSFET is turned off and the low-side MOSFET is turned ON. The low-side MOSFET is kept on until the subsequent
CLK rising edge after the inductor current drops below 1.5A (typ). The high-side MOSFET is turned on after the low-side
MOSFET is turned off and the cyclic operation continues. When the overload condition is removed, the part regulates
output to the set voltage.
Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal overload protection limits the total power dissipation in the device. When the junction temperature exceeds
+165°C, an on-chip thermal sensor shuts down the device, turns off the internal power MOSFETs, allowing the device to
cool down. The thermal sensor turns the device on after the junction temperature cools by 10°C.

Applications Information
Selection of Inductor
Three key inductor parameters must be specified to select the output inductor:
1) Inductor value
2) Inductor saturation current
3) DC-resistance of the inductor
The device internal slope compensation and current limit are optimized with output inductors of 1.5µH for MAX17623 and
1µH for MAX17624. For MAX17623, select a 1.5µH inductor and for MAX17624, select a 1µH inductor. The saturation
current rating (ISAT) of the inductor must be high enough to ensure that saturation can occur only above the peak currentlimit value of 2A (typ). Select a low-loss inductor with acceptable dimensions and having the lowest possible DCresistance to improve the efficiency.
Selection of Input Capacitor
The input filter capacitor reduces peak currents drawn from the power source and reduces noise and voltage ripple on
the input caused by the circuit switching. The input capacitor RMS current requirement (I RMS) is defined by the following
equation:
IRMS = IOUT(MAX) ×
√VOUT × (VIN - VOUT )
VIN
where,
IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current. IRMS has the maximum value when the input voltage equals twice the output
voltage (VIN = 2 x VOUT), so IRMS(MAX) = IOUT(MAX)/2.
Choose an input capacitor that exhibits less than +10°C temperature rise at the RMS input current for optimal long-term
reliability. Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors with high-ripple-current capability at the input. X7R capacitors are
recommended in industrial applications for their temperature stability. Calculate the input capacitance using the following
equation:
CIN = IOUT(MAX) ×
D × (1 - D)
fSW × η × ∆VIN
where,
D = Duty ratio of the converter
fSW = Switching frequency
ΔVIN = Allowable input-voltage ripple
η = Efficiency
Selection of Output Capacitor
Small ceramic X7R-grade capacitors are sufficient and recommended for the device. The output capacitor has two
functions. It filters the square wave generated by the device along with the inductor. It stores sufficient energy to support
the output voltage under load transient conditions and stabilizes the device’s internal control loop. The device’s internal
loop-compensation parameters are optimized for 22µF and 10µF output capacitors for MAX17623 and MAX17624,
respectively. MAX17623 requires a minimum of 22µF (typ) and MAX17623 requires a minimum of 10µF (typ) capacitance
for stability. Derating of ceramic capacitors with DC-voltage must be considered while selecting the output capacitor.

Adjusting the Output Voltage
The MAX17623/MAX17624 output voltage can be programmed from 0.8V to 3.3V. MAX17623 offers output voltages from
0.8V to 1.5V and MAX17624 offers output voltages from 1.5V to 3.3V. Set the output voltage by connecting a resistordivider from output to FB to GND (see Figure 1). Choose R2 to be less than 37.4kΩ and calculate R1 with the following

Power Dissipation
At a particular operating condition, the power losses that lead to a temperature rise of the part are estimated as follows:
1
PLOSS = POUT × ( - 1) - (IOUT 2 × RDCR )
η
POUT = VOUT × IOUT
where,
POUT = Output Power
RDCR = DC-resistance of the inductor
η = Efficiency of the power supply at the desired operating conditions. See the Typical Operating Characteristics section
for efficiency or measure the efficiency to determine total power dissipation. An EE-Sim model is available for the
MAX17623/MAX17624 to simulate efficiency and power loss.
The junction temperature TJ can be estimated at any given maximum ambient temperature TA from the following
equation:
TJ = TA + (θJA × PLOSS )
Where θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the package (85.3°C/W for a four-layer board measured using
JEDEC specification JESD51-7)
If the application has a thermal-management system that ensures the exposed pad of the device is maintained at a given
temperature (TEP), the junction temperature can be estimated using the following formula
TJ = TEP + (θJC × PLOSS )
where θJC is the junction-to-case thermal resistance of the device (8.9°C/W)
Note: Operating the device at junction temperatures greater than +125°C degrades operating lifetimes.

PCB Layout Guidelines
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve clean and stable operation. In particular, the traces that carry pulsating current
should be short and wide so that the parasitic inductance formed by these traces can be minimized. Follow the following
guidelines for good PCB layout:
•
Keep the input capacitors as close as possible to the IN and GND pins.
•
Keep the output capacitors as close as possible to the OUT and GND pins.
•
Keep the resistive feedback divider as close as possible to the FB pin.
•
Connect all the GND connections to a copper plane area as large as as possible on the top and bottom layers.
•
Use multiple vias to connect internal GND planes to the top layer GND plane.
•
Keep the power traces and load connections short. This practice is essential for high efficiency. Using thick
copper PCBs (2oz vs. 1oz) can enhance full load efficiency.
•
Refer to the MAX17623/MAX17624 evaluation kit layout for first pass success.
