Mouser Electronics, Inc. is distributing the MAXM17574 DC-DC step-down power module from Maxim Integrated. The flexible, space-saving device allows developers to reduce design complexity and time to market in applications ranging from industrial power supply to HVAC and building control.The Maxim MAXM17574 power module delivers reliable performance even in harsh industrial environments, offering thermal protection, RESET output voltage monitoring, and hiccup-mode overload protection. This high-efficiency module integrates a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter, a fully shielded inductor, and compensation components into a single, low-profile package (SiP).
With a wide input voltage range of 4.5 V to 60 V and an adjustable output voltage range of 0.9 V to 15 V, the power module delivers up to 3 A of continuous output current across a broad industrial temperature range of -40 to 125 degrees Celsius. Housed in a 9.0 × 15 × 9.2 mm package, the module provides a simplified PCB design, requiring only five external components for a complete power solution. In addition to use in industrial power supply applications, the MAXM17574 devices are ideal for distributed supply regulation, base station point-of-load regulators, and FPGA and DSP point-of-load regulators.
The MAXM17574 module is compatible with the MAXM17574 evaluation kit, which is preset for a 5V output with load currents up to 3A. The flexible kit features an adjustable soft-start signal, open-drain reset, adjustable input undervoltage lockout, and external frequency synchronization.
