MAX17544ATP+

Maxim Integrated · DC-DC Converters · TQFN-20(5x5)

MAX17544ATP+ from Maxim Integrated, in a TQFN-20(5x5). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VIN power_in Power supply input with a 4.5V to 42V input supply range; connect the VIN pins together.
2 VIN power_in Power supply input with a 4.5V to 42V input supply range; connect the VIN pins together.
3 VIN power_in Power supply input with a 4.5V to 42V input supply range; connect the VIN pins together.
4 EN/UVLO input Enable/undervoltage lockout input that must be driven high to enable the output, with an external resistor divider from VIN to SGND setting the turn-on input voltage.
5 RESET output Open-drain RESET output that is driven low if FB drops below 92% of its set value and goes high 1024 clock cycles after FB rises above 95% of its set value.
6 SYNC input Clock input used to synchronize the device to an external clock.
7 SS passive Soft-start input; a capacitor connected from SS to SGND sets the soft-start time.
8 CF passive At switching frequencies below 500kHz a capacitor is connected from CF to FB, and CF is left open at 500kHz or above.
9 FB input Feedback input connected to the center tap of an external resistor divider from the output to GND to set the output voltage.
10 RT passive A resistor from RT to SGND sets the switching frequency from 100kHz to 2.2MHz, and leaving RT open selects the default 500kHz.
11 MODE input Mode select pin: left unconnected for PFM, connected to SGND for constant-frequency PWM, and connected to VCC for DCM operation, latched at power-up.
12 VCC power_out 5V LDO output that must be bypassed with 2.2µF ceramic capacitance to SGND.
13 SGND power_in Analog ground.
14 PGND power_in Power ground that connects externally to the power ground plane and to SGND at the VCC bypass capacitor return path.
15 PGND power_in Power ground that connects externally to the power ground plane and to SGND at the VCC bypass capacitor return path.
16 PGND power_in Power ground that connects externally to the power ground plane and to SGND at the VCC bypass capacitor return path.
17 LX output Switching node connected to the switching side of the inductor.
18 LX output Switching node connected to the switching side of the inductor.
19 LX output Switching node connected to the switching side of the inductor.
20 BST passive Boost flying capacitor connection; a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is connected between BST and LX.
21 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
