Product details
Overview
The MAX16904SATB51/V+T from Maxim Integrated is a synchronous buck DC-DC converter delivering 600mA output with 5.1V fixed output voltage, +3.5V to +28V input range, 2.1MHz switching frequency, and 25μA quiescent current in SKIP mode-designed for automotive power rails requiring high-voltage tolerance and AEC-Q100 compliance.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16904SATB51/V+T datasheet, MAX16904SATB51/V+T pinout, MAX16904SATB51/V+T application, or MAX16904SATB51/V+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, thermal performance data, spread-spectrum EMI reduction capability, and validated alternative options for automotive-grade 5.1V point-of-load regulation.
Technical Context
The MAX16904SATB51/V+T uses current-mode control with integrated high-side (400–800mΩ RDS(ON)) and low-side (250–450mΩ RDS(ON)) MOSFETs, enabling 97% dropout operation and internal soft-start (8ms typical). Its SYNC pin supports three modes: SKIP (25μA IQ), forced fixed-frequency PWM, or external clock synchronization.
It features spread-spectrum modulation (+6% frequency deviation) to reduce radiated EMI while maintaining AM-band immunity, plus PGOOD monitoring with 88–98% VOUT threshold hysteresis and thermal shutdown at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis-fully specified across −40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.1V ±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 0.85–1.22A |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz typical (1.925–2.275MHz); supports SYNC synchronization 1.8–2.6MHz |
| Quiescent Current | 25μA typical in SKIP mode at no load; 4–8μA in shutdown |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 41°C/W (TDFN-EP); junction-to-case θJC = 9°C/W |

Pinout & Package
MAX16904SATB51/V+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) with exposed pad connected to PGND. Pinout optimized for high-current paths and thermal dissipation in automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor node | Drives high-side FET gate; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX |
| SUP | Main input supply | Accepts +3.5V to +28V; tolerates +42V transients; decoupled with 4.7µF ceramic |
| LX | Switching node | Connects to inductor; high-impedance when off; critical for EMI layout |
| PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for LX and SUP; must be tied to exposed pad |
| OUTS | Voltage sense input | Feedback node; bypassed with ≥10µF X7R ceramic to PGND |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Pulls low if VOUT < 91% nominal; high-impedance above 93%; requires external pullup |
| SYNC | Mode control & sync input | GND/unconnected → SKIP mode; BIAS/external clock → forced PWM |
| BIAS | Internal LDO output | +5V logic supply; bypassed with 2.2µF ceramic to GND |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Separate from PGND; connected at single point near OUTS capacitor |
| EN | Enable input | High-voltage compatible (3.3V logic to +42V); no internal pullup/pulldown |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX16904SATB51/V+T in fixed-frequency mode?
The MAX16904SATB51/V+T has a fixed 5.1V output with ±2.5% tolerance in forced fixed-frequency mode across −40°C to +125°C, 6V–18V input, and 0–600mA load. This specification ensures reliable power delivery to automotive microcontrollers and sensors without external trimming.
Does the MAX16904SATB51/V+T support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the MAX16904SATB51/V+T supports external clock synchronization via its SYNC pin, accepting frequencies from 1.8MHz to 2.6MHz. When driven by an external clock source or connected to the BIAS pin, the device operates in forced PWM mode-enabling deterministic EMI profile and timing alignment with other system supplies.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the MAX16904SATB51/V+T use?
The MAX16904SATB51/V+T uses a 10-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) with exposed pad. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 41°C/W and θJC = 9°C/W on a four-layer board, enabling 1.95W continuous power dissipation at +70°C ambient before derating-critical for under-hood automotive placement.
How does the MAX16904SATB51/V+T handle cold-crank conditions?
The MAX16904SATB51/V+T maintains regulation during cold-crank by operating at >97% duty cycle, supporting input voltages down to +3.5V. Its undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates at 2.8–3.2V with 0.4V hysteresis, and it tolerates +42V transients ≤1s-ensuring uninterrupted 5.1V output to safety-critical ECUs during engine start.
Is spread-spectrum modulation enabled on the MAX16904SATB51/V+T?
Yes, the "S" in MAX16904SATB51/V+T denotes enabled spread-spectrum frequency modulation (+6% deviation around 2.1MHz), which reduces peak radiated EMI without compromising AM-band immunity. This feature is factory-configured and cannot be disabled in-circuit.
