The MAXM17515 is a fixed-frequency, step-down power
module in a thermally-efficient system-in-package (SiP)
package that operates from a 2.4V to 5.5V input
supply voltage and supports output currents up to 5A.
The device includes switch-mode power-supply controller,
dual n-channel MOSFET power switches, a fully shielded
inductor, as well as compensation components. The
device supports 0.75V to 3.6V programmable output
voltage. The high level of integration significantly reduces
design complexity, manufacturing risks, and offers a true
plug-and-play power-supply solution, reducing the time
to market.
The MAXM17515 is available in a thermally enhanced,
compact 28-pin, 10mm x 6.5mm x 2.8mm SiP
package and can operate over the -40
°C
to +125
°C
industrial temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
