The MAX17681/MAX17681A is a high-voltage, high-
efficiency, iso-buck DC-DC converter designed to provide
isolated power up to 5W. The device operates over a
wide 4.5V to 42V input and uses primary-side feedback
to regulate the output voltage.
The MAX17681/MAX17681A uses peak-current-mode
control. The low-resistance, on-chip MOSFETs ensure
high efficiency at full load while simplifying the PCB layout.
The MAX17681/MAX17681A devices generate a well
regulated primary side voltage which is then scaled by a
suitable transformer turns ratio to derive isolated secondary
output rails. While both MAX17681 and MAX17681A
support primary side overcurrent protection, the
MAX17681A is an enhanced design that supports robust
secondary-side overcurrent protection as well.
The MAX17681/MAX17681A is available in a compact
10-pin (3mm x 2mm) TDFN package. Simulation models
are available.

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.
