Product details
Overview
The MAX16904RAUE33/V+T from Maxim Integrated is a synchronous buck DC-DC converter delivering 600mA output at fixed 3.3V with input range +3.5V to +28V, 2.1MHz switching frequency, 25μA no-load quiescent current, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16904RAUE33/V+T datasheet, MAX16904RAUE33/V+T pinout, MAX16904RAUE33/V+T application, or MAX16904RAUE33/V+T equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (16-pin TSSOP-EP), confirmed thermal shutdown (175°C), PGOOD monitoring, spread-spectrum disable status, and automotive-grade transient tolerance (+42V).
Technical Context
This current-mode buck regulator integrates high-side and low-side DMOS switches (RON,HS = 400–800mΩ, RON,LS = 250–450mΩ) and operates in three modes: SKIP (25μA IQ), forced fixed-frequency (2.1MHz), or external synchronization (1.8–2.6MHz). It maintains regulation down to 97% duty cycle in dropout.
It features internal soft-start (8ms ramp), undervoltage lockout (3.0V typ), thermal shutdown (175°C), and open-drain PGOOD with 91–94% falling threshold. The device uses no external compensation and supports ±6% spread-spectrum modulation only when enabled - not applicable to MAX16904RAUE33/V+T.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2.5% (fixed-frequency mode), ±4.0% (SKIP mode) |
| Input Voltage Range | +3.5V to +28V continuous; withstands +42V transients ≤1s |
| Max Output Current | 600mA continuous; peak current limit 1.05A typical |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz typical; supports SYNC input (1.8–2.6MHz) or SKIP mode |
| Quiescent Current | 25μA typical in SKIP mode at no load; 1mA in continuous no-switching mode |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C ambient; junction limit +150°C |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 38.3°C/W (TSSOP-EP, 4-layer board) |
Pinout & Package
MAX16904RAUE33/V+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-pin TSSOP-EP package (5mm × 4.4mm, exposed pad). The EP must be soldered to PGND for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SUP (Pins 2,3) | Input voltage supply | Accepts +3.5V to +28V; requires 4.7µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pins |
| LX (Pins 4,5) | Switching node | Connects to inductor; high-impedance when off; both pins must be shorted externally |
| PGND (Pins 6,7) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for LX and output capacitor; both pins must be shorted and tied to EP |
| OUTS (Pin 8) | Voltage sense input | Feedback node; bypassed with ≥10µF X7R ceramic capacitor to PGND |
| PGOOD (Pin 11) | Open-drain power-good flag | Pulls low if VOUT < 91% nominal; requires external 20kΩ pull-up to BIAS or system rail |
| SYNC (Pin 12) | Mode control input | GND/unconnected → SKIP mode; BIAS or clock signal → forced PWM mode |
| BIAS (Pin 13) | Internal +5V logic supply | Provides regulated bias for internal circuitry; bypass with 2.2µF ceramic to GND |
| GND (Pin 14) | Analog ground reference | Separate from PGND; connect to PGND only at output capacitor return point |
| EN (Pin 15) | Enable control | High-voltage compatible (3.3V logic to +42V); no internal pullup/pulldown |
| BST (Pin 16) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Drives high-side gate; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and LX |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 25μA in SKIP mode enables >10-year battery standby in always-on automotive modules |
| Dropout operation | 97% max duty cycle allows regulation with VIN as low as VOUT + 0.3V under light loads |
| Transient robustness | Tolerates +42V input spikes per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, eliminating need for upstream TVS in many designs |
| EMI mitigation | 2.1MHz fixed frequency avoids AM band (0.53–1.71MHz); no spread-spectrum on this variant |
| Thermal reliability | Thermal shutdown at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis prevents latch-up during sustained overload |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16904RATB33/V+ | Same 3.3V output, but in 10-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm); θJA = 41°C/W vs. 38.3°C/W | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; lower thermal mass may require tighter layout control | Select when board area is critical and thermal margin permits higher junction rise |
| TPS62130AQRGTRQ1 | 3.3V fixed, 3A output, 2.5MHz, 17μA IQ; QFN-16 package; AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Higher current capability and lower IQ, but lacks +42V transient tolerance and 97% dropout support | Choose for higher-power applications where input transients are clamped externally |
Compared with MAX16904RATB33/V+, the MAX16904RAUE33/V+T offers superior thermal dissipation in TSSOP-EP and simplified layout for high-current paths; versus TPS62130AQRGTRQ1, it delivers guaranteed +42V transient survival and deeper dropout - critical for unregulated automotive battery inputs.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX16904RAUE33/V+T in fixed-frequency mode?
The MAX16904RAUE33/V+T delivers 3.3V output with ±2.5% accuracy over full load (0–600mA), input (6–18V), and temperature (-40°C to +125°C) in forced fixed-frequency mode. This is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOUT,3.3V parameter.
Does the MAX16904RAUE33/V+T include spread-spectrum frequency modulation?
No, the MAX16904RAUE33/V+T does not include spread-spectrum modulation. Its ordering code lacks the 'S' prefix (e.g., MAX16904SATB33/V+ has spread-spectrum; MAX16904RAUE33/V+ does not), and the Selector Guide confirms 'Disabled' for spread-spectrum in its row.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage transient for the MAX16904RAUE33/V+T?
The MAX16904RAUE33/V+T tolerates input voltage transients up to +42V for durations ≤1 second, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Features sections. This enables direct connection to automotive battery rails without external TVS diodes in many ISO 7637-2 compliant designs.
How is thermal performance different between the TSSOP-EP and TDFN-EP packages of the MAX16904RAUE33/V+T?
The MAX16904RAUE33/V+T uses the 16-pin TSSOP-EP package with θJA = 38.3°C/W (4-layer board), offering lower junction-to-ambient resistance than the 10-pin TDFN-EP variant (θJA = 41°C/W). This translates to ~3°C lower junction temperature at identical power dissipation and layout.
Can the MAX16904RAUE33/V+T operate in dropout, and what is the minimum input voltage for regulation at full load?
Yes, the MAX16904RAUE33/V+T supports dropout operation with up to 97% duty cycle. At full 600mA load and 3.3V output, it maintains regulation down to approximately VIN = 3.4V (VOUT + dropout voltage), as confirmed by the dropout behavior description and typical operating characteristics showing stable VOUT during cold-crank simulation.
