Product details
Overview
The MAX15062CATA+T from Analog Devices is a 60V-input, 300mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side pMOS and low-side nMOS FETs, fixed 4.5V–60V input range, adjustable 0.9V to 0.89×VIN output (via FB/VOUT resistor divider), peak efficiency of 92%, and operation across –40°C to +125°C ambient. It delivers regulated power in industrial sensors and 4–20mA current-loop transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX15062CATA+T datasheet, MAX15062CATA+T pinout, MAX15062CATA+T application, or MAX15062CATA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its PFM/PWM mode selectability via MODE pin, internal soft-start (4.1ms), open-drain RESET for output monitoring, EN/UVLO programmability, and TDFN-8 (2mm × 2mm) package compatibility with ultra-compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX15062CATA+T employs peak-current-mode control with internal slope compensation and a latched MODE pin that determines startup behavior: grounded MODE enables forced-PWM (fixed 500kHz switching), while unconnected MODE enables light-load PFM with pulse-skipping and zero negative inductor current. Its internal 5V LDO (VCC) powers gate drivers and logic, with 4.75V–5.25V output and 150mV dropout at 5mA.
It integrates hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (0.56A peak limit, 0.66A runaway limit), monotonic startup into prebiased outputs, and thermal shutdown at 166°C with 10°C hysteresis. The FB/VOUT pin regulates output using an internal 0.9V reference (±1.5% over temperature), supporting both fixed-output variants (A/B) and the adjustable MAX15062C variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports wide industrial input rails including 24V, 36V, and 48V systems without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 300mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, analog front-ends, and isolated interface ICs in point-of-load applications. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.9V to 0.89 × VIN - adjustable via external resistor divider on FB/VOUT, enabling custom rail generation (e.g., 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V, 12V). |
| Switching Frequency | 465kHz to 535kHz - fixed-frequency PWM mode ensures EMI predictability; PFM mode disables at >55mA load. |
| Peak Efficiency | 92% - achieved at mid-load with ceramic input/output capacitors and low RDS(ON) MOSFETs (1.75Ω HS / 0.55Ω LS at +25°C). |
| Shutdown Current | 2.2µA (typ) - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for harsh industrial environments including process control and HVAC equipment. |
Pinout & Package
MAX15062CATA+T is housed in an 8-pin, 2mm × 2mm TDFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 7 GND). The compact footprint supports high-density industrial PCBs and enables efficient thermal dissipation (θJA = 162°C/W, θJC = 20°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power Input | Primary DC input connection; requires ≥1µF X7R ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability and EMI suppression. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 2) | Enable & Input UVLO | Active-high enable with programmable turn-on threshold (1.215V typ rising); resistor divider from VIN sets precise input voltage activation point. |
| VCC (Pin 3) | Internal LDO Output | 5V regulated supply for internal circuitry and gate drivers; must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| FB/VOUT (Pin 4) | Feedback Input | Connects to resistor divider for adjustable output; internal 0.9V reference enables VOUT = 0.9V × (1 + R1/R2) up to 0.89 × VIN. |
| MODE (Pin 5) | Control Mode Select | Latched at power-up: GND = forced-PWM (constant frequency); floating = PFM (pulse-skipping, high light-load efficiency). |
| RESET (Pin 6) | Open-Drain Monitor | Pulls low when VOUT < 92% regulation; high-impedance 2ms after VOUT > 95%; requires external pull-up for system reset signaling. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Power & Signal Ground | Common return path for VIN, VCC, FB/VOUT, and LX; must connect to low-impedance ground plane under exposed pad. |
| LX (Pin 8) | Switch Node | Connection to inductor switch node; high-impedance during shutdown; carries full switching current (±800mA RMS). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous MOSFET Integration | Eliminates external Schottky diode and reduces conduction losses-enables >92% peak efficiency with minimal BOM count. |
| Programmable EN/UVLO Threshold | Allows precise input-voltage turn-on control (e.g., delay startup until 24V rail stabilizes), avoiding brown-out during power sequencing. |
| Monotonic Prebias Startup | Enables safe soft-start into existing output voltage (e.g., multi-rail FPGA or MCU systems), preventing reverse current or output collapse. |
| Internal Compensation & Soft-Start | Reduces design time: no external compensation network required; 4.1ms controlled ramp prevents output overshoot and inrush stress. |
| Hiccup-Mode Overcurrent Protection | Auto-retries after fault clearance-protects against sustained short-circuit loads without latch-off, improving system reliability in field-deployed equipment. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Power Supply | 4–20mA Current Loop Transmitter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified; 3–65V input; 300mA; requires external compensation; no integrated VCC LDO. | Targeted for automotive body electronics; lacks RESET and prebias startup features. | Choose for automotive-grade designs requiring extended temp range (–40°C to +150°C junction) and functional safety support. |
| TPS54202DRCT | 2.9–60V input; 2A output; 500kHz fixed freq; integrated 5V LDO; no PFM mode; smaller 10-pin WSON package. | Higher current capability but larger solution size; no hiccup-mode OCP or programmable EN/UVLO. | Choose when >300mA load current is required and PFM efficiency is not critical. |
Compared with LM5164QDDARQ1 and TPS54202DRCT, the MAX15062CATA+T uniquely combines adjustable output, integrated RESET, monotonic prebias startup, and sub-µA shutdown in a 2mm × 2mm TDFN-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial point-of-load designs.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX15062CATA+T support?
The MAX15062CATA+T is the adjustable-output variant of the MAX15062 family and supports output voltages from 0.9V up to 0.89 × VIN, set via an external resistor divider on the FB/VOUT pin. Its internal 0.9V reference (±1.5% over temperature) enables precise regulation-e.g., 3.3V (R1/R2 = 2.67), 5V (R1/R2 = 4.56), or 12V (R1/R2 = 12.33)-without requiring different part numbers.
How does the MODE pin affect MAX15062CATA+T operation?
The MODE pin on the MAX15062CATA+T is latched at power-up and determines control mode: grounding MODE forces constant-frequency PWM operation (465–535kHz) for EMI-sensitive applications, while leaving MODE unconnected enables PFM mode-skipping pulses at light loads to achieve >85% efficiency even at 1mA. Mode changes during runtime have no effect.
Can the MAX15062CATA+T start up into a prebiased output?
Yes, the MAX15062CATA+T supports monotonic startup into a prebiased output in both PFM and forced-PWM modes. Its internal architecture prevents reverse current flow and output discharge during soft-start, making it suitable for multi-rail systems (e.g., FPGA or MCU with auxiliary supplies already active) without external diodes or sequencing controllers.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX15062CATA+T?
The MAX15062CATA+T integrates cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (0.56A typical), runaway current protection (0.66A), hiccup-mode fault recovery, thermal shutdown at 166°C (10°C hysteresis), and output undervoltage monitoring via the open-drain RESET pin. These features collectively safeguard against short circuits, overloads, overheating, and brownout conditions in unattended industrial deployments.
Is the MAX15062CATA+T pin-compatible with other MAX15062 variants?
Yes, all MAX15062 variants-including MAX15062A (3.3V fixed), MAX15062B (5V fixed), and MAX15062C (adjustable)-share identical pinout, package (TDFN-8), and electrical characteristics except for internal feedback resistor networks. This allows hardware reuse across output voltage requirements, with only FB/VOUT routing differing for the adjustable version.
