MAX17612BATB+

Overview

The MAX17612BATB+ is a synchronous DC-DC converter and current limiter designed for input voltages ranging from 4.5V to 60V. It provides a regulated output with a maximum continuous current of 250mA. The device integrates overvoltage protection, under-voltage lockout, and thermal shutdown to ensure robust operation in demanding power environments. Packaged in a compact 10-pin TDFN format, it supports surface-mount assembly.

Feature Summary

• Integrates synchronous rectification for efficient step-down conversion within a wide input voltage range.
• Includes built-in overvoltage protection and current limiting to safeguard downstream loads.
• Features thermal shutdown and under-voltage lockout for enhanced system reliability.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring isolated or non-isolated power regulation
• Automotive electronics operating on varying bus voltages
• Telecommunications infrastructure power distribution

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors. Confirm the specific suffix matches project requirements. Check for obsolescence notices as Maxim Integrated products are now managed under Analog Devices. Request official datasheets and test reports to validate performance specifications before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide input voltage range up to 60V is required alongside moderate output current capabilities. Consider the TDFN package for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal management needs due to the integrated protection features. Ensure compatibility with existing control logic and PCB layout guidelines provided in the technical documentation.
