General Description

The MAX17101 is a dual Quick-PWM™ step-down
power-supply (SMPS) controller with synchronous rectifi-
cation, intended for main 5V/3.3V power generation in
battery-powered systems. Low-side MOSFET sensing
provides a simple low-cost, highly efficient current sense
for providing valley current-limit protection. Combined
with the output overvoltage and undervoltage protection
features, this current limit ensures robust output supplies.

The 5V/3.3V SMPS outputs can save power by operating
in pulse-skipping mode or in ultrasonic mode to avoid
audible noise. Ultrasonic mode forces the controller to
maintain switching frequencies greater than 20kHz at
light loads.

An internal 100mA linear regulator can be used to
either generate the 5V bias needed for power-up or
other lower power “always-on” suspend supplies. An
independent bypass input allows automatic bypassing
of the linear regulator when the SMPS is active.

This main controller also includes a secondary feed-
back input that triggers an ultrasonic pulse (DL1 turned
on) if the SECFB voltage drops below its threshold volt-
age. This refreshes an external charge pump driven by
DL1 without overcharging the output voltage.

The device includes independent shutdown controls to
simplify power-up and power-down sequencing. To
prevent current surges at startup, the internal voltage
target is slowly ramped up from zero to the final target
over a 1ms period. To prevent the output from ringing
below ground in shutdown, the internal voltage target
is ramped down from its previous value to zero over a
1ms period. Two independent power-good outputs
simplify the interface with external controllers.

The MAX17101 comes in a lead-free 32-pin TQFN
(5mm x 5mm) package and operates in the -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
