The device includes independent shutdown controls to simplify power-up and power-down sequencing. To prevent current surges at startup, the internal voltage target is slowly ramped up from zero to the final target over a 1ms period. To prevent the output from ringing below ground in shutdown, the internal voltage target is ramped down from its previous value to zero over a 1ms period. Two independent power-good outputs simplify the interface with external controllers. The MAX17101 comes in a lead-free 32-pin TQFN (5mm x 5mm) package and operates in the -40C to +85C temperature range.
