Product details
Overview
The MAX15014BATX+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output power management IC integrating a 1A, 7.5V–40V input buck converter and a 50mA, 5V fixed-output LDO regulator. It delivers regulated 3.3V (B-version) from the LDO and adjustable 1.26V–32V from the buck stage, with 135kHz switching frequency, 47μA quiescent current when buck is off, and operation across –40°C to +125°C for automotive navigation systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX15014BATX+ datasheet, MAX15014BATX+ pinout, MAX15014BATX+ application, or MAX15014BATX+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V LDO output variant, 7.5V minimum buck input, 135kHz fixed-frequency operation, RESET timeout programmability via CT pin, and thermal shutdown with 160°C trip point.
Technical Context
This device implements voltage-mode control with feed-forward compensation for high-noise automotive environments, enabling stable regulation despite wide VIN transients. Its dual enable architecture (EN_SYS and EN_SW) allows independent control of LDO and buck sections - critical for always-on subsystems requiring low-quiescent standby.
The integrated 0.5Ω high-side MOSFET switch supports up to 1A load with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection. The LDO section features 78dB PSRR at 100Hz and an active-low open-drain RESET output with user-adjustable delay via external capacitor on CT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Buck Input Range | 7.5V to 40V - supports 12V/24V automotive battery rails with cold-crank margin down to 7.5V. |
| Buck Switching Frequency | 135kHz (fixed) - enables use of cost-effective, high-saturation-current inductors; synchronizable via SYNC pin. |
| LDO Output Voltage | 3.3V (fixed, B-version) - factory-trimmed ±1.5% over temperature; no external resistors required. |
| LDO Load Current | Guaranteed 50mA - sufficient for microcontroller I/O, CAN transceivers, or sensor biasing in always-on domains. |
| Quiescent Current (LDO only) | 47μA (typ) - enables >1-year battery life in vehicle telematics modules with periodic wake-up. |
| RESET Timeout Delay | Adjustable via CT capacitor - sets delay from LDO rise to RESET deassertion; unconnected = 50μs min. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 stress requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 36-pin TQFN-EP (6mm × 6mm, thermally enhanced), exposed pad soldered to SGND for 2.86W power dissipation capability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN_SW | Buck converter input supply | Accepts 7.5V–40V; must exceed 7.0V UVLO threshold before regulation begins. |
| IN_LDO | LDO input supply | 5V–40V range; independent of IN_SW - allows separate battery/supply sourcing. |
| DRAIN / LX | High-side MOSFET drain & switch node | Connect both pins to inductor and freewheeling diode cathode; handles peak 1.9A current at TJ=125°C. |
| EN_SYS | System enable (active-high) | Controls LDO and enables buck when pulled high; internal 0.5µA pull-down ensures safe default-off state. |
| EN_SW | Buck converter enable (active-high) | Independent control: LDO remains active even if EN_SW = low while EN_SYS = high. |
| SET_LDO | LDO output voltage select | Grounded for 3.3V (MAX15014B); connects to resistor divider for 1.5V–11V adjustable mode. |
| LDO_OUT | LDO regulated output | 3.3V @ 50mA; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic bypass to SGND for stability and PSRR performance. |
| RESET | Active-low open-drain reset signal | Pulled high externally (≥4kΩ to LDO_OUT); asserts low during LDO startup or fault; timeout set by CT capacitor. |
| CT | Reset timeout timing capacitor | Charged by 2µA current source; RESET deasserts when CT reaches ~1.24V; shorted during thermal shutdown or EN_SYS low. |
| REG | Internal 8V LDO output | Supplies gate driver and internal circuitry; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to SGND. |
| DVREG | Gate drive supply | Connected to REG and bootstrap diode anode; provides high-side driver voltage referenced to LX. |
| SYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 100–200kHz square wave; overrides internal 135kHz oscillator; tie to SGND if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | EN_SYS controls LDO; EN_SW controls buck - enables flexible power sequencing for MCU + peripheral subsystems. |
| Programmable soft-start | SS pin accepts external capacitor; sets ramp time for controlled VOUT rise and inrush current limiting. |
| Feed-forward voltage-mode control | Improves transient response and noise immunity in high-dV/dt automotive environments without complex loop compensation. |
| Low-noise LDO with high PSRR | 78dB PSRR at 100Hz suppresses buck ripple and supply noise - critical for ADC references and RF biasing. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | After 7 consecutive current-limit events, enters 512-clock-period timeout before retry - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output DC-DC + LDO power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX15015BATX+ | 4.5V–40V buck input range; 500kHz switching frequency; 5V LDO output (B-version) | Better suited for 5V logic subsystems; wider buck VIN enables operation during cold-crank (4.5V) | Select when lower buck input voltage capability or higher switching frequency is required; not pin-compatible due to different UVLO and oscillator. |
| TPS65321A-Q1 | Automotive-qualified dual buck + LDO; 3.0V–36V input; 3.3V/50mA LDO; integrated watchdog and diagnostics | Includes safety features (ISO 26262 ASIL-B ready) and fault reporting not present in MAX15014BATX+ | Choose for functional-safety-critical applications where diagnostic coverage and ASIL compliance are mandatory. |
Compared with MAX15015BATX+, the MAX15014BATX+ offers tighter cold-crank compatibility above 7.5V but sacrifices 4.5V operation; versus TPS65321A-Q1, it lacks safety diagnostics but provides superior PSRR and simpler layout with feed-forward control.

FAQ
What is the LDO output voltage of the MAX15014BATX+?
The MAX15014BATX+ is the 'B' version, delivering a factory-trimmed 3.3V LDO output with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C and load currents up to 50mA. This fixed output eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies design for noise-sensitive analog circuits.
Can the MAX15014BATX+ operate with a 5V input supply?
No, the MAX15014BATX+ buck converter requires a minimum input voltage of 7.5V. Its undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold is 7.0V with 0.54V hysteresis. For 5V-input applications, consider the MAX15015BATX+ (4.5V–40V range) instead.
How is the RESET timeout delay configured on the MAX15014BATX+?
The RESET timeout delay on the MAX15014BATX+ is set by an external capacitor connected to the CT pin. An internal 2µA current source charges CT; RESET deasserts when CT reaches ~1.24V. With CT unconnected, minimum delay is 50µs. Typical values range from 100pF to 10nF for delays spanning microseconds to milliseconds.
Does the MAX15014BATX+ support external synchronization of its switching frequency?
Yes, the MAX15014BATX+ supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin, accepting 100kHz–200kHz square-wave inputs. When driven, the internal 135kHz oscillator is overridden. If unused, SYNC must be tied to SGND to prevent noise coupling and ensure stable internal operation.
What thermal protection features does the MAX15014BATX+ include?
The MAX15014BATX+ incorporates thermal shutdown with a 160°C junction trip point and 20°C hysteresis. When triggered, it disables both buck and LDO outputs and pulls CT low to assert RESET. Operation resumes only after junction temperature falls below 140°C, ensuring robust protection in enclosed automotive enclosures.
