MAX17632

MAX17632 EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE 4.5V to 36V, 2A, High-Efficiency, Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter General Description The MAX17632 family of parts (MAX17632A, MAX17632B and MAX17632C) is a high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs operating over an input-voltage range of 4.5V to 36V. It can deliv­er up to 2A current. The MAX17632A and MAX17632B are fixed 3.3V and fixed 5V output parts, respectively. The MAX17632C is an adjustable output voltage (0.9V to 90% of VIN) part. Built-in compensation across the output-voltage range eliminates the need for external compensation components. The MAX17632 features peak-current-mode control architecture. The device can be operated in the forced pulsewidth modulation (PWM), or pulse-frequency modulation (PFM), or discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) to enable high efficiency under full-load and light-load conditions. The MAX17632 offers a low minimum on time that allows high switching freq...
