MAX17670, MAX17671,
MAX17672
Integrated 4V-60V, 150mA, High-Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
with 50mA Linear Regulator
General Description
The Himalaya series of voltage regulator ICs, power
modules, and chargers enable cooler, smaller, and simpler power-supply solutions. MAX17670, MAX17671, and
MAX17672 are dual-output regulators integrating a 4V
to 60V, 150mA high-voltage, high-efficiency, Himalaya
synchronous step-down converter with internal MOSFETs
and a high-PSRR, low-noise, 2.35V to 5.5V, 50mA linear
regulator. The MAX17670 and MAX17671 provide fixed
step-down converter output voltages of 3.3V and 5V,
respectively. The output voltage of the MAX17672 stepdown converter is adjustable (0.8V up to 90% of VIN).
3.3V (MAX17671 and MAX17672 only), 3.0V, 2.5V, 1.8V,
1.5V, and 1.2V linear regulator output voltage options are
supported. See the Ordering Information for details.
The feedback-voltage regulation accuracy over -40°C
to +125°C temperature range for the linear regulator
is ±1.3% and for the step-down converter is ±2%. The
devices are available in a compact 10-pin (3mm x 3mm)
TDFN package. Simulation models are available.

Pin Description
PIN
NAME
FUNCTION
1
IN
Power Supply Input of the Step-Down Converter. Decouple the IN pin to GND with an X7R 1μF ceramic capacitor.
2
EN/
UVLO
Enable/Undervoltage Lockout Input. Drive EN/UVLO high to enable the output voltage. Connect to the midpoint
of a resistor divider from IN to GND to set the input voltage at which the device turns ON. The allowed minimum
turn ON input voltage is 4V. Pull low to GND for disabling the device. See Setting the Input Undervoltage-Lockout Level section for more details.
3
RT
Programmable Switching Frequency Input. Connect a resistor from RT to GND to program the switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz. Leave the RT pin unconnected for a default 600kHz switching frequency. See
the Switching Frequency (RT) section for details.
4
5
Step-down Converter Feedback Input. For MAX17670 and MAX17671, connect FBBUCK directly to the output
FBBUCK node of the step-down converter. For the MAX17672, connect FBBUCK to a resistor-divider between the regulated buck-voltage node and GND. See the Adjusting the Output Voltage section for details.
OUTL
Linear Regulator Output Pin. Connect at least 2.2μF, 0603 capacitor across OUTL and GND.
INL
Linear Regulator Power-Supply Input. Connect this pin to the Step-down converter's output capacitor for output
voltages up to 5.5V. Otherwise, the INL pin should be grounded. INL also acts as a bootstrap input to power up
internal blocks for improved efficiency. INL switchover occurs only for INL voltages between 3.3V and 5.5V. See
the Linear Regulator Power-Supply Input (INL) section for details.
7
RESET
Open-Drain Reset Output. Pull up RESET to an external power supply with a resistor. The RESET pin is driven
low if either FBBUCK voltage or OUTL voltage drops below 92% of their set value and also when
EN/UVLO voltage falls below its threshold value. RESET goes high 2.1ms after FBBUCK and OUTL voltages
rise above 95% of their set value if INL is above VINL_UVLO. Else, RESET considers only FBBUCK voltage for
its high impedance state.
8
MODE/
SYNC
Mode Selection and External Clock Synchronization Input. Connect the MODE/SYNC pin to the GND pin to enable the fixed-frequency PWM operation. Leave MODE/SYNC unconnected for PFM operation. An external clock
can be applied to the MODE/SYNC pin to synchronize the internal clock to the external clock.
See the Mode Selection and External Synchronization (MODE/SYNC) section for details.
9
GND
6
Ground. Connect GND to the power ground plane. Connect all the circuit ground connections together at a
single point. See the PCB Layout Guidelines Layout Guidelines section.

LX
Switching Node of the Step-Down Converter. Connect LX to the switching side of the inductor. LX is high
impedance when the device is shut down.
―
EP
Exposed Pad. Always connect EP to the GND pin of the IC. Also, connect EP to a large GND plane with
several thermal vias for best thermal performance. Refer to the MAX17670, MAX17671, and MAX17672 EV kit
datasheet for an example of the correct method for EP connection and thermal vias.

MAX17670, MAX17671,
MAX17672
Integrated 4V-60V, 150mA, High-Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
with 50mA Linear Regulator
Detailed Description
MAX17670, MAX17671, and MAX17672 are dual-output
regulators integrating a 4V to 60V, 150mA high voltage, high efficiency, Himalaya synchronous step-down
converter with internal MOSFETs and a high PSRR, low
noise, 2.35V to 5.5V, 50mA linear regulator. MAX17670
and MAX17671 are the fixed 3.3V and 5V step-down converter output voltage devices, respectively. MAX17672 is
the adjustable step-down converter output voltage (0.8V
to 90%VIN) device. All three devices feature internal
compensation. The feedback-voltage regulation accuracy
over -40°C to +125°C temperature range for the linear
regulator is ±1.3% for 3.3V, 3.0V, 2.5V linear regulator
outputs; ±1.5% for 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V linear regulator outputs; and, ±2% for the step-down converter.
The step-down converter uses an internally compensated, peak-current mode control architecture. On the rising
edge of the internal clock, the high-side p-MOSFET turns
on. 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 slope-compensation voltage by a PWM comparator to set the on-time. During the
on-time of the p-MOSFET, the inductor current ramps up.
For the remainder of the switching period (off-time), the
p-MOSFET is kept off and the low-side n-MOSFET turns
on. During the off-time, the inductor releases the stored
energy as the inductor current ramps down, providing current to the output.
The step-down converter has a 5.1ms fixed internal
soft-start to reduce the inrush currents. An EN/UVLO pin
allows the user to turn the device on/off at the desired
input-voltage level greater than 4V. An open-drain
RESET pin allows output-voltage monitoring.
Mode Selection and External Synchronization
(MODE/SYNC)
The device features a MODE/SYNC pin for selecting
either forced PWM or PFM mode of operation. If the
MODE/SYNC pin is grounded, the device operates in a
constant-frequency PWM mode at all loads. If the MODE/
SYNC pin is unconnected, the device operates in PFM
mode at light load. When a rising edge is detected at the
MODE/SYNC pin, the internal logic changes the mode
from PWM to PFM after 16 internal clock cycles. When
www.maximintegrated.com
a falling edge is detected, the change from PFM to PWM
mode is instantaneous.
PWM operation is useful in frequency-sensitive applications and provides fixed switching frequency at all loads.
However, PWM mode of operation gives lower efficiency
at light loads compared to PFM mode of operation.
PFM mode disables negative inductor current and
additionally skips pulses at light loads for high efficiency.
In PFM mode, the inductor current is forced to a fixed
peak (IPFM) of 92mA (typ) every clock cycle until the
output rises to 102% (typ) of the nominal voltage. Once
the output reaches 102% (typ) of the nominal voltage,
both high-side and low-side FETs are turned off and the
device enters hibernate operation until the load discharges the output to 101% (typ) of the nominal voltage. Most
of the internal blocks are turned off in hibernate operation
to reduce quiescent current. After the output falls below
101% (typ) of the nominal voltage, the device comes
out of hibernate operation, turns on all internal blocks,
and again commences the process of delivering pulses
of energy to the output until it reaches 102% (typ) of the
nominal output voltage. The advantage of PFM mode is
higher efficiency at light loads due to the lower quiescent
currents in PFM mode.
The device naturally exits PFM mode when the load current demands inductor peak current above IPFM (92mA
typ). The device enters PFM mode when the load current
is less than half the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current.
The internal oscillator of the device can be synchronized to an external clock signal on the MODE/SYNC
pin. The external synchronization clock frequency must
be between 1.1 x fSW and 1.4 x fSW, where fSW is the
switching frequency programmed by the resistor connected to the RT pin. When an external clock is applied to the
MODE/SYNC pin, the internal clock synchronizes to the
external clock frequency (from original frequency based
on the RT pin setting) after 8 external pulses are detected
within 16 internal clock cycles. Mode of operation can
be reset with a VIN power cycle or EN/UVLO cycle. The
minimum external clock on-time and off-time pulse-widths
should be greater than 100ns. See the Mode Selection
and External Synchronization (MODE/SYNC) section in
the Electrical Characteristics table for details.

Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
with 50mA Linear Regulator
Linear Regulator Power-Supply Input (INL)
The INL pin can be tied to the step-down converter output
node for voltages up to 5.5V. Otherwise, INL should be
connected to GND.
The linear regulator operates from 2.35V to 5.5V inputvoltage range and the linear regulator is enabled when
VINL is more than VINL_UVLO.
The INL pin also functions as bootstrap input to power up
the internal blocks. Switchover to bootstrap input occurs
when VINL is above VINL_TH. This improves the overall
efficiency, since the internal blocks are being powered
from the step-down converter output which has the voltage less than the input voltage.
Enable/Undervoltage-Lockout Input
(EN/UVLO) and Soft-Start
When EN/UVLO voltage increases above VENR (1.215V
typ), the device initiates a built-in 5.1ms (typ) soft-start
period after an internal delay of 400μs (t1), allowing a
monotonic increase of the output voltage to the final set
value.
EN/UVLO can be used as an input-voltage UVLO adjustment input, to set the turn-on/off input-voltage level. The
allowed minimum turn-on/off input voltage is 4V. See the
Setting the Input Undervoltage-Lockout Level section
for details. Driving EN/UVLO low disables both power
MOSFETs, as well as other internal circuitry, and reduces
quiescent current to around 2.5μA. If the EN/UVLO pin is
driven from an external signal source, a series resistance
of 1kΩ (min) is recommended to be placed between
the output of the signal source and the EN/UVLO pin to
reduce voltage ringing on the line.
VENR
EN/UVLO
The device supports monotonic startup into a prebiased
step-down converter output. When the device starts into a
prebiased output, both the high-side and low-side switches are turned off so that the converter does not sink current from the output. High-side and low-side switches do
not start switching until the PWM comparator commands
the first PWM pulse, at which switching commences. The
output voltage is then smoothly ramped up to the target
value in alignment with the internal reference. Such a
feature is useful in applications where digital integrated
circuits with multiple rails are powered.
RESET Output
The device includes an open-drain RESET output to
monitor step-down converter output voltage and linear
regulator output voltage. The RESET pin should be pulled
up with an external resistor to the desired external power
supply.
RESET goes to high impedance 2.1ms after both stepdown converter and linear regulator outputs rise above
95% of their nominal set value, if VINL is above VINL_UVLO.
Otherwise, RESET only considers step-down converter
output voltage for its high impedance state.
RESET pulls low after 4μs (t2) if one of the either output
voltages fall below 92% of their set value. RESET is
also driven low when EN/UVLO voltage falls below its
threshold value. Figure 1 shows the RESET output timing
diagram.

Switching Frequency (RT)
Switching frequency of the device can be programmed
from 200kHz to 2.2MHz by using a resistor connected
from RT to GND. The switching frequency (fSW) is related
to the resistor (RRT) connected at the RT pin by the following equation:
R RT ≈
500
11.6
− 0.5
−
t
0.045
SW
1
t SW =
f SW
Where RRT is in kΩ and tSW is in μs. Leave the RT pin
unconnected for the default 600kHz switching frequency.
The value of RRT in the range of 165kΩ (308kHz) and
248kΩ (215kHz) is not allowed for user programming to
ensure proper configuration of the internal adaptive-loop
compensation scheme. The maximum allowable switching frequency for PFM mode of operation is 900kHz.
Operating Input-Voltage Range
The maximum operating input voltage is determined by
the minimum on-time, and the minimum operating input
voltage is determined by the maximum duty cycle and
circuit voltage drops. The minimum and maximum operating input voltages for a given output voltage should be
calculated as follows:
VIN(MIN) =
VOUT + ( I OUT(MAX) × (R DCR(MAX) + R DS-ONL(MAX) ))
1 – t OFF_MIN(MAX) × f SW(MAX)
+ (I OUT(MAX) × (R DS- ONH(MAX) – R DS – ONL(MAX) ))
VIN(MAX) =
VOUT
f SW(MAX) × t ON_MIN( MAX )
where:
VOUT = Steady-state output voltage,
www.maximintegrated.com
IOUT(MAX) = Maximum load current,
RDCR(MAX) = Maximum DC resistance of the inductor,
fSW(MAX) = Maximum switching frequency,
tOFF_MIN(MAX) = Worst case minimum switch off-time (75ns),
tON_MIN(MAX) = Worst-case minimum switch on-time (128ns),
RDS-ONL(MAX) and RDS-ONH(MAX) = Maximum on-state
resistances of the low-side and high-side MOSFETs,
respectively.
Overcurrent Protection
The device implements a hysteretic peak current-limit
protection scheme to protect the internal FETs and inductor under output short-circuit conditions. When the inductor peak current exceeds IPEAK-LIMIT (0.295A typ), the
high-side switch is turned off and the low-side switch is
turned on to reduce the inductor current. After the current
is reduced to 150mA (typ), the high-side switch is turned
on at the rising edge of the next clock pulse. The device
enters hiccup mode if the inductor current hits IPEAKLIMIT for 16 consecutive times. After the hiccup time-out
period, the device auto retries to startup and the same
operation continues until the short is removed and the
inductor peak current goes below IPEAK-LIMIT. Since the
inductor current is bounded between the two values, the
inductor current runaway never happens in this scheme.
Low Side-Switch Protection
Hysteretic-sink current limit controls the low-side switch
sink current to ISINK-LIMIT (105mA typ) with a ripple of
50mA.
Thermal-Shutdown Protection
Thermal-shutdown protection limits the junction temperature in the IC. This feature is present in PWM mode.
When the junction temperature exceeds +160°C, an onchip thermal sensor shuts down the device, turns off the
internal power MOSFETs and the linear regulator, allowing the device to cool down. The device turns on with
soft-start after the junction temperature reduced by 20°C.

Applications Information
D = VOUT/VIN is the duty ratio of the controller,
fSW = Switching frequency,
Inductor Selection
Three key inductor parameters must be specified for
operation with the device: inductance value (L), inductor
saturation current (ISAT), and DC resistance (RDCR). The
switching frequency and output voltage determine the
inductor value as follows:
L=
8150 × VOUT
f SW
VOUT = Output voltage
fSW = Switching frequency in kHz
Select a low-loss inductor closest to the calculated value
with acceptable dimensions and having the lowest possible DC resistance. The saturation current rating (ISAT) of
the inductor must be high enough to ensure that saturation
can occur only above the peak current-limit (IPEAK-LIMIT).
Input Capacitor Selection
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’s switching.
The input capacitor RMS current requirement (IRMS) is
defined by the following equation:
VOUT × (VIN – VOUT )
VIN
where, IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current. IRMS has
a maximum value when the input voltage equals twice
the output voltage (VIN = 2 x VOUT), so IRMS(MAX) =
IOUT(MAX)/1.414. 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:
C IN =
η = Efficiency
In applications where the source is located distant from the
device input, an electrolytic capacitor should be added in
parallel to the ceramic capacitor to provide necessary damping for potential oscillations caused by the inductance of the
longer input power path and input ceramic capacitor.
Output Capacitor Selection for Step-Down
Converter
where:
L = Inductance in μH,
IRMS = I OUT(MAX) ×
∆VIN = Allowable input voltage ripple,
I OUT(MAX) × D × (1– D)
η × f SW × ∆VIN
X7R ceramic output capacitors are recommended for the
device due to their stability over the temperature in industrial applications. The output capacitor has two functions.
It stores sufficient energy to support the output voltage
under load transient conditions and stabilizes the device’s
internal control loop. The output capacitor is sized to support a step load of 50mA such that the output-voltage
deviation is less than 3%. The minimum required output
capacitance can be calculated as shown in Table 1.
It should be noted that dielectric materials used in ceramic
capacitors exhibit capacitance loss due to DC bias levels.
It should be that the derated value of the selected capacitance meets the minimum required output capacitance.
Linear Regulator Output Capacitor Selection
For stable operation over the full temperature range, use
a low-ESR 2.2μF X7R ceramic capacitor at the OUTL pin.
Ceramic capacitors exhibit capacitance and ESR variations over temperature. Ensure that the minimum capacitance under worst-case conditions does not drop below
1μF for linear regulator output stability.

Setting the Input Undervoltage-Lockout Level
The device offers an adjustable input undervoltage-lockout level. Set the voltage at which the device turns on with
a resistive voltage-divider connected from IN to GND (see
Figure 2). Connect the center node of the divider to EN/
UVLO. Choose R1 to be 3.3MΩ (max) and then calculate
R2 as follows:
R2 =
R1× 1.215
(VINU – 1.215)
where VINU is the voltage greater than 4V above which
the device is required to turn on.
Adjusting the Output Voltage
For MAX17670 and MAX17671, connect FBBUCK directly
to the output node of the step-down converter. The output
voltage of MAX17672 can be programmed from 0.8V to
0.9 x VIN. Set the output voltage by connecting a resistor
divider from output node to FBBUCK to GND (see Figure 3).
Choose R2 less than or equal to 100kΩ and calculate R1
with the following equation:
V
R1= R2 × OUT – 1

Linear Regulator Output Voltage Options
3.3V (MAX17671 and MAX17672 only), 3.0V, 2.5V, 1.8V,
1.5V, and 1.2V linear regulator output voltage options are
supported. See Ordering Information for details.
Power Dissipation
At a particular operating condition, the power losses that
lead to the temperature rise of the device are estimated
as follows:
PLOSS = PBUCK + PLDO

If the application has a thermal-management system that

sinks, then the junction temperature of the device can be
estimated at any given maximum ambient temperature as
TJ(MAX) = TEP(MAX) + (θJC x PLOSS)

PCB Layout Guidelines
●● Route the high-speed switching node (LX) away from
the signal pins
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve clean and stable
operation. The switching power stage requires particular
attention.
●● Place the linear regulator output capacitor close to
the OUTL pin
The following are the guidelines for a good PCB layout:
●● A number of thermal throughputs that connect to a
large ground plane should be provided under the
exposed pad of the device for efficient heat
dissipation.
●● Place the input ceramic capacitor as close as
possible to the IN and GND pins
●● Minimize the area formed by the LX pin and inductor
connection to reduce the radiated EMI
For a sample layout that ensures first pass success, refer
to the MAX17670, MAX17671 and MAX17672 evaluation
kit PCB layout available at www.maximintegrated.com.
●● Ensure that all feedback connections are short and
direct
