Product details
Overview
The MAX16904SATB52/V+T from Maxim Integrated is a synchronous buck DC-DC converter delivering 600mA output with 5.2V 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 MAX16904SATB52/V+T datasheet, MAX16904SATB52/V+T pinout, MAX16904SATB52/V+T application, or MAX16904SATB52/V+T equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (10-pin TDFN-EP), confirmed spread-spectrum EMI reduction, thermal shutdown at 175°C, PGOOD monitoring, and validated alternative options for 5.2V automotive buck conversion.
Technical Context
The MAX16904SATB52/V+T implements current-mode control with integrated high-side (400–800mΩ) and low-side (250–450mΩ) DMOS switches, enabling dropout operation at 97% duty cycle. Its 2.1MHz internal oscillator supports three modes: forced PWM, SKIP (25μA IQ), and external synchronization (1.8–2.6MHz).
Spread-spectrum modulation (+6% frequency dither) is enabled on this variant to reduce radiated EMI without compromising AM-band immunity. The device features undervoltage lockout (3.0V typ), soft-start (8ms typ), and thermal shutdown (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 5.2V ±2.5% (fixed-frequency mode), ±4.0% (SKIP mode)-tight regulation for automotive microcontroller I/O rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | +3.5V to +28V continuous; withstands +42V transients-supports cold-crank and load-dump conditions in 12V/24V systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz typical (1.925–2.275MHz); synchronized externally from 1.8–2.6MHz-enables compact 3.3–4.7µH inductors and <10µF ceramic output caps. |
| Quiescent Current | 25μA typical in SKIP mode at no load-extends battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., CAN gateways, body controllers). |
| Output Current | 600mA minimum guaranteed; peak current limit 1.05A-supports dual-core MCUs, sensors, and interface ICs with margin. |
| Thermal Protection | Junction shutdown at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis-prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| EMI Reduction | Enabled spread-spectrum modulation (+6% frequency deviation)-lowers peak radiated emissions without external filtering. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16904SATB52/V+T uses a thermally enhanced 10-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) with exposed pad soldered to PGND for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 41°C/W on 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor node | Drives high-side FET gate; requires 0.1µF ceramic cap between BST and LX for proper gate charge replenishment. |
| SUP | Main power input | Accepts +3.5V to +28V; must be decoupled with 4.7µF ceramic cap placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| LX | Switching node | Connects to inductor; high dv/dt node-requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| PGND | Power ground return | Carries high pulsed currents; must be tied directly to exposed pad and output capacitor negative terminal. |
| OUTS | Voltage feedback sense | Monitors regulated output; bypassed with ≥10µF X7R ceramic cap to PGND for stability and transient response. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high when VOUT ≥ 93% of nominal (4.84V); pulls low at ≤91% (4.73V)-used for system sequencing and fault detection. |
| SYNC | Mode control and sync input | GND/unconnected enables SKIP mode; BIAS or external clock forces PWM-allows dynamic efficiency vs. EMI trade-off. |
| BIAS | Internal LDO output | +5V supply for logic; decoupled with 2.2µF ceramic cap to GND-also serves as pull-up source for PGOOD. |
| GND | Analog reference ground | Separate from PGND; connects to system analog ground plane-must tie to PGND only at single point (output cap return). |
| EN | Enable input | High-voltage compatible (up to +42V); VIH = 2.4V min-directly driven by 3.3V MCU GPIO or automotive wake-up signals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Spread-spectrum EMI reduction | +6% frequency dither enabled-reduces peak radiated emissions without altering average switching frequency or compromising AM-band immunity. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 25μA in SKIP mode at no load-enables >1-year battery standby in always-on automotive modules without auxiliary LDOs. |
| Automotive-grade reliability | AEC-Q100 qualified, −40°C to +125°C operation, +42V transient tolerance-meets ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a/b requirements. |
| Integrated power-good monitoring | PGOOD open-drain output with 10µs debounce-provides deterministic system reset and rail sequencing without external comparators. |
| Dropout-capable operation | 97% max duty cycle with 150ns low-side refresh-maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.3V, critical for cold-crank scenarios. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16904RATB52/V+ | No spread-spectrum modulation; otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout. | Higher peak EMI emissions; suitable where radiated noise is controlled via layout/shielding rather than spectral dither. | Select MAX16904RATB52/V+ if EMI testing passes without spread-spectrum, or if cost sensitivity outweighs EMI margin. |
| LMQ66430QRGTRQ1 | 3.0V–36V input, 3A output, 2.1MHz, no spread-spectrum, different pinout (16-pin WQFN), higher IQ (26μA). | Higher current capacity but larger footprint; lacks integrated PGOOD and spread-spectrum-requires external monitoring circuitry. | Select LMQ66430QRGTRQ1 only if >600mA output or wider input range (>28V) is required; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with MAX16904RATB52/V+, the MAX16904SATB52/V+T provides superior EMI performance via enabled spread-spectrum, while the LMQ66430QRGTRQ1 offers higher output current at the expense of pin compatibility, integrated monitoring, and spectral shaping capability.
