Key Features
- Wide 3.5 V to 36 V input range covers industrial 24 V and automotive 12 V bus voltages in a single design
- 2.5 A output current with current-mode PWM control ensures fast transient response and tight output voltage regulation
- 16-pin TQFN package with exposed thermal pad enables high-density layouts with efficient heat dissipation at full load
Applications
The MAX17244ETERB+ is designed for industrial automation equipment, automotive electronics, and telecom infrastructure that demand a robust step-down regulator across a wide input voltage range. Its current-mode PWM architecture provides excellent load regulation for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and DSPs from high-voltage rails. Engineers also use it in distributed power architectures where a 36 V input bus must be converted to 3.3 V or 5 V logic supply rails with minimal board space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which input voltage range does the MAX17244ETERB+ support, and which power bus standards does it cover?
The MAX17244ETERB+ accepts input voltages from 3.5 V to 36 V, covering standard 12 V automotive, 24 V industrial, and 28 V avionics bus voltages. This range allows a single regulator design to serve multiple platform variants without hardware revision, reducing engineering cost and inventory complexity.
How does the current-mode PWM control architecture of MAX17244ETERB+ improve transient performance?
Current-mode PWM control monitors inductor current on a cycle-by-cycle basis, enabling the MAX17244ETERB+ to respond to load transients within a few hundred nanoseconds. This architecture also provides inherent overcurrent limiting at 2.5 A, simplifying output capacitor selection and improving stability across a wide range of output voltages up to 10 V.
When is the MAX17244ETERB+ a practical alternative to multi-chip discrete regulator solutions in industrial designs?
For industrial boards requiring a 2.5 A point-of-load converter from a 24 V rail, the MAX17244ETERB+ replaces discrete controller, MOSFET, and gate-driver combinations in a single 16-pin TQFN package. This integration reduces PCB area by up to 40%, lowers component count, and simplifies EMC compliance testing compared to multi-chip solutions.
What thermal considerations apply when operating MAX17244ETERB+ at full 2.5 A load?
At 2.5 A continuous output and a 36 V input, power dissipation can reach several hundred milliwatts. The 16-pin TQFN exposed pad must be soldered to a copper pour of at least 1 cm squared with vias to inner layers to keep junction temperature below 125 degrees Celsius, ensuring reliable long-term operation in 85 degree ambient industrial environments.
