4.5V to 60V Input, Ultra-Small, High-Efficiency, Iso-Buck DC-DC Converter

The Rainier series of isolated DC-DC products enable small, efficient solutions with a lower BOM. The MAX17687 is a high-voltage, high-efficiency, iso-buck DC-DC converter designed to provide isolated power up to 10W. The device operates over a wide 4.5V to 60V input voltage range and uses primary-side feedback to regulate the output voltage. It delivers primary peak current up to 3.2A and regulates primary output voltage to within ±1.2%.

The device features peak-current-mode control with pulse-width modulation (PWM) scheme. The low-resistance, on-chip MOSFETs ensure high efficiency at full load and simplify the layout.

A programmable soft-start feature allows users to reduce input inrush current. The device also incorporates an output enable/undervoltage lockout pin (EN/UVLO) that allows the user to turn on the part at the desired input-voltage level. An open-drain active-low RESET pin provides a delayed power-good signal to the system upon achieving successful regulation of the primary output voltage.

The device operates from -40°C to +125°C and is available in a compact 20-pin (4mm x 4mm) TQFN package. Simulation models are available.
