The MAX17245 is a high efficiency, synchronous step-down DC to DC converter with integrated MOSFETs operates over 3.5V to 36V input voltage range with 42V input transient protection. The EV kit operates over a wide 6V to 36V input range and the output is set for 5V at 3.5A. The EV kit comes with the MAX17245ETESA+ installed.<br /><br />The device can be synchronized to an external signal applied to FSYNC. To use an external clock, uninstall the shunt on JU2 and apply the signal at the FSYNC test point. The external clock frequency at FSYNC can be higher or lower than the internal clock by 20%. Ensure that the duty cycle of the external clock used has a minimum 100ns pulse width.<br /></span></p> <h4><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Applications:</span></strong></h4> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Distributed Supply Regulation</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">General-Purpose Point-of-Load</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wall Transformer Regulation</span></li> </ul> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wide 6V to 36V Input Supply Range</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Forced-PWM or Skip-Mode Operation</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Configurable Switching Frequency</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Current-Mode Controller with Force-PWM and Skip Modes</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">84% Peak Efficiency at 12V Input in Skip-Mode</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">88% Peak Efficiency at 12V Input in Forced-PWM</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">FSYNC Input and Power-Good Output</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Proven 4-Layer 2oz Copper PCB Layout</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Demonstrates 1065mil &times;

The MAX17245 is a high efficiency, synchronous step-down DC to DC converter with integrated MOSFETs operates over 3.5V to 36V input voltage range with 42V input transient protection. The EV kit operates over a wide 6V to 36V input range and the output is set for 5V at 3.5A. The EV kit comes with the MAX17245ETESA+ installed.<br /><br />The device can be synchronized to an external signal applied to FSYNC. To use an external clock, uninstall the shunt on JU2 and apply the signal at the FSYNC test point. The external clock frequency at FSYNC can be higher or lower than the internal clock by 20%. Ensure that the duty cycle of the external clock used has a minimum 100ns pulse width.<br /></span></p> <h4><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Applications:</span></strong></h4> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Distributed Supply Regulation</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">General-Purpose Point-of-Load</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wall Transformer Regulation</span></li> </ul> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wide 6V to 36V Input Supply Range</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Forced-PWM or Skip-Mode Operation</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Configurable Switching Frequency</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Current-Mode Controller with Force-PWM and Skip Modes</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">84% Peak Efficiency at 12V Input in Skip-Mode</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">88% Peak Efficiency at 12V Input in Forced-PWM</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">FSYNC Input and Power-Good Output</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Proven 4-Layer 2oz Copper PCB Layout</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Demonstrates 1065mil &times; 795mil Solution Size</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Fully Assembled and Tested</span></li> </ul> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Evaluation Board MAX17245</span></p> <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/MAX17245EVKIT.pdf" target="_blank">MAX17245EVKIT# Datasheet (pdf)</a> </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: step down converters, mcu, maxim, dc-dc converter, daughter_addon_boards, development_platforms_kits</div>
