Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX17682 Iso-Buck DC-DC Converters

Analog Devices MAX17682 Iso-Buck DC-DC Converters are high-voltage, high-efficiency, iso-buck DC-DC converters designed to provide isolated power up to 10W. The device operates over a wide 4.5V to 42V input voltage range and uses primary-side feedback to regulate the output voltage. These devices deliver primary peak current up to 3.7A and regulate the primary output voltage to within ±1.2% over -40°C to 125°C. The MAX17682 features peak-current-mode control with pulse-width modulation (PWM) scheme. The low-resistance, on-chip MOSFETs ensure high efficiency at full load and simplify the layout.

A programmable soft-start feature allows users to reduce input inrush current. The device also incorporates an output Enable/Under Voltage Lockout pin (EN/UVLO) that allows the user to turn on the part at the desired input voltage level. An open-drain, active-low RESETB pin provides a delayed power-good signal to the system upon achieving successful regulation of the primary output voltage.
