Product details
Overview
The MAX16904RATB55/V+T from Maxim Integrated is a synchronous buck DC-DC converter IC delivering 600mA output with 5.5V fixed output voltage, +3.5V to +28V input range, 2.1MHz switching frequency, and 25μA no-load quiescent current-designed for automotive power rails in engine control units and ADAS camera modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16904RATB55/V+T datasheet, MAX16904RATB55/V+T pinout, MAX16904RATB55/V+T application, or MAX16904RATB55/V+T equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, -40°C to +125°C operation, 10-pin TDFN-EP package with exposed pad, spread-spectrum disable status, and PGOOD monitoring capability.
Technical Context
This current-mode synchronous buck regulator integrates high-side and low-side DMOS FETs (RON,HS = 400–800mΩ, RON,LS = 250–450mΩ) and operates across three modes: SKIP (25μA IQ), forced fixed-frequency PWM, and external clock synchronization (1.8–2.6MHz). It maintains regulation down to 97% duty cycle in dropout and features internal soft-start (8ms typical) and thermal shutdown at 175°C.
Its architecture includes an integrated bootstrap driver (BST pin), voltage-sense feedback via OUTS, open-drain PGOOD with 91–94% threshold hysteresis, and EN input compatible from 3.3V logic up to +42V transients-enabling direct connection to automotive battery rails without level-shifting.

Pinout & Package
MAX16904RATB55/V+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin TDFN-EP package (outline 21-0137) with exposed pad connected to PGND. The pinout supports compact automotive PCB layouts with dedicated BST, SUP, LX, PGND, OUTS, PGOOD, SYNC, BIAS, GND, and EN terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor node | Drives high-side FET gate; requires 0.1µF ceramic cap to LX |
| SUP | Main power input | +3.5V to +28V supply; connect 4.7µF ceramic cap close to pin |
| LX | Switching node | Connects to inductor; high-impedance when off; critical for EMI control |
| PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high-current switch return; tie to exposed pad |
| OUTS | Voltage sense input | Feedback node; bypass with ≥10µF X7R ceramic to PGND |
| PGOOD | Open-drain status signal | Pulls low if VOUT < 91% nominal; requires external 20kΩ pull-up |
| SYNC | Mode control input | GND/unconnected → SKIP mode; BIAS/clock → forced PWM |
| BIAS | Internal LDO output | +5V logic supply; bypass with 2.2µF ceramic to GND |
| GND | Analog reference ground | Separate from PGND; connect to PGND only at output capacitor return |
| EN | Enable control | High-voltage compatible (3.3V–42V); no internal pullup/pulldown |

The MAX16904RATB55/V+T delivers a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 5.5V with ±2.5% accuracy in forced fixed-frequency mode and ±4.0% in SKIP mode across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Selector Guide and electrical characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX16904RATB55/V+T support spread-spectrum frequency modulation?
No, the MAX16904RATB55/V+T does not include spread-spectrum frequency modulation. Its ordering code "R" (as in RATB) indicates the spread-spectrum option is disabled, unlike "S"-prefixed variants (e.g., SATB). The device operates at its nominal 2.1MHz switching frequency unless synchronized externally via the SYNC pin.
What package type is used for the MAX16904RATB55/V+T?
The MAX16904RATB55/V+T uses a 10-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) package with exposed pad, designated by "TB" in the part number. This thermally enhanced package has JEDEC outline number 21-0137 and requires soldering the exposed pad to PGND for optimal thermal performance.
Is the MAX16904RATB55/V+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX16904RATB55/V+T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0) and rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. The "/V+" suffix explicitly denotes automotive qualification, including validation for load dump, cold crank, and extended temperature cycling per automotive reliability standards.
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX16904RATB55/V+T?
The MAX16904RATB55/V+T guarantees a minimum continuous output current of 600mA across its full operating temperature and input voltage range. Its overcurrent protection triggers at 1.05A typical, and thermal shutdown activates at 175°C junction temperature-ensuring safe operation under sustained load conditions.
