The EV kit is designed for a 3.3V output and delivers up to 3.5A load current from a wide input-voltage range of 4.5V to 42V. The EV kit switches at an optimal 500kHz switching frequency to allow the use of small component-sizes, helping to minimize solution-size while maintaining high-performance. <br /><br />The EV kit provides a precision-enable input, an open-drain active-low RESET output signal, and external frequency synchronization to provide a simple and reliable startup sequence and eliminate beat frequency between regulators. The EV kit also includes optional component footprints to program different output voltages, an adjustable input undervoltage-lockout, and a soft-start time to control inrush current during startup.&nbsp; <br /><br /> The Himalaya series of voltage regulator ICs and power modules enable cooler, smaller, and simpler power supply solutions. The MAXM17544 is an easy-to-use, step-down power module that combines a switching power supply controller, dual n-channel MOSFET power switches, fully shielded inductor, and the compensation components in a low-profile, thermally-efficient, system-in-package (SiP). The device operates over a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 42V and delivers up to 3.5A continuous output current with excellent line and load regulation over an output voltage range of 0.9V to 12V. The device only requires five external components to complete the total power solution. The high level of integration significantly reduces design complexity, manufacturing risks, and offers a true plug-and-play power supply solution, reducing time-to-market.<br /><br /><strong> Applications:</strong> <ul> <li>Base Station Point-of-Load Regulator</li> <li>Distributed Supply Regulation</li> <li>FPGA and DSP Point-of-Load Regulator</li> <li>HVAC and Building Control</li> <li>Industrial Power Supplies</li> </ul> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li>Highly Integrated Solution with Integrated Shield Inductor</li> <li>Wide 4.5V to 42V Input Range</li> <li>Preset 3.3V Output with a Fixed Resistor-Divider on FB (Feedback Pin)</li> <li>Programmable Output-Voltage Feature (0.9V to 12V)</li> <li>Up to 3.5A Output Current</li> <li>High 91.2% Efficiency (V<sub>IN</sub> = 12V, V<sub>OUT</sub> = 3.3V at 0.74A)</li> <li>500kHz Switching Frequency</li> <li>Enable/UVLO Input, Resistor-Programmable UVLO Threshold</li> <li>Adjustable Soft-Start Time</li> <li>Selectable PWM, PFM, or DCM Mode</li> <li>Open-Drain Active-Low RESET Output</li> <li>External Frequency Synchronization</li> <li>Overcurrent and Overtemperature Protection</li> <li>Low-Profile, Surface-Mount Components</li> <li>Lead(Pb)-Free and RoHS Compliant</li> <li>Fully Assembled and Tested</li> </ul> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <ul> <li>Evaluation Board</li> </ul> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Required Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-content"></div> </div> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Accessory Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-content"></div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Documents</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Data Sheet</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAXM17544.pdf" target="_blank">MAXM17544 - 4.5 to 42V, 3.5A High-Efficiency, DC-DC Step-Down Power Module (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">User Manual/Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAXM17544EVKIT.pdf" target="_blank">Evaluation Kit for MAXM17544 (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Downloads</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Schematics/Layout Files</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> <a href="https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/tools/cad-layout/gerber/MAXM17544_EVKIT_A_FAB_PACKAGE.ZIP" target="_blank">MAXM17544EVKIT Gerber File (zip)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Simulation Model/CAD Models</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-code"></i> <a href="https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/ee_sim/start.mvp?part=MAXM17544" target="_blank">Design &amp;

The EV kit is designed for a 3.3V output and delivers up to 3.5A load current from a wide input-voltage range of 4.5V to 42V. The EV kit switches at an optimal 500kHz switching frequency to allow the use of small component-sizes, helping to minimize solution-size while maintaining high-performance. <br /><br />The EV kit provides a precision-enable input, an open-drain active-low RESET output signal, and external frequency synchronization to provide a simple and reliable startup sequence and eliminate beat frequency between regulators. The EV kit also includes optional component footprints to program different output voltages, an adjustable input undervoltage-lockout, and a soft-start time to control inrush current during startup.&nbsp; <br /><br /> The Himalaya series of voltage regulator ICs and power modules enable cooler, smaller, and simpler power supply solutions. The MAXM17544 is an easy-to-use, step-down power module that combines a switching power supply controller, dual n-channel MOSFET power switches, fully shielded inductor, and the compensation components in a low-profile, thermally-efficient, system-in-package (SiP). The device operates over a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 42V and delivers up to 3.5A continuous output current with excellent line and load regulation over an output voltage range of 0.9V to 12V. The device only requires five external components to complete the total power solution. The high level of integration significantly reduces design complexity, manufacturing risks, and offers a true plug-and-play power supply solution, reducing time-to-market.<br /><br /><strong> Applications:</strong> <ul> <li>Base Station Point-of-Load Regulator</li> <li>Distributed Supply Regulation</li> <li>FPGA and DSP Point-of-Load Regulator</li> <li>HVAC and Building Control</li> <li>Industrial Power Supplies</li> </ul> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li>Highly Integrated Solution with Integrated Shield Inductor</li> <li>Wide 4.5V to 42V Input Range</li> <li>Preset 3.3V Output with a Fixed Resistor-Divider on FB (Feedback Pin)</li> <li>Programmable Output-Voltage Feature (0.9V to 12V)</li> <li>Up to 3.5A Output Current</li> <li>High 91.2% Efficiency (V<sub>IN</sub> = 12V, V<sub>OUT</sub> = 3.3V at 0.74A)</li> <li>500kHz Switching Frequency</li> <li>Enable/UVLO Input, Resistor-Programmable UVLO Threshold</li> <li>Adjustable Soft-Start Time</li> <li>Selectable PWM, PFM, or DCM Mode</li> <li>Open-Drain Active-Low RESET Output</li> <li>External Frequency Synchronization</li> <li>Overcurrent and Overtemperature Protection</li> <li>Low-Profile, Surface-Mount Components</li> <li>Lead(Pb)-Free and RoHS Compliant</li> <li>Fully Assembled and Tested</li> </ul> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <ul> <li>Evaluation Board</li> </ul> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Required Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-content"></div> </div> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Accessory Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-content"></div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Documents</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Data Sheet</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAXM17544.pdf" target="_blank">MAXM17544 - 4.5 to 42V, 3.5A High-Efficiency, DC-DC Step-Down Power Module (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">User Manual/Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAXM17544EVKIT.pdf" target="_blank">Evaluation Kit for MAXM17544 (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Downloads</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Schematics/Layout Files</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> <a href="https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/tools/cad-layout/gerber/MAXM17544_EVKIT_A_FAB_PACKAGE.ZIP" target="_blank">MAXM17544EVKIT Gerber File (zip)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Simulation Model/CAD Models</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-code"></i> <a href="https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/ee_sim/start.mvp?part=MAXM17544" target="_blank">Design &amp; Simulate MAXM17544 (html)</a> </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: dcdc_converter_controller, power_management, dc-dc power module, maxim, analog_demo_boards, MAXM17544</div>
