Product details
Overview
MAX16907RAUE/V+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3A, current-mode, automotive-grade step-down DC-DC converter with integrated 70mΩ high-side MOSFET, operating from 3.5V to 36V input and delivering 5V fixed or 1V–10V adjustable output at up to 3A. It features 30µA no-load quiescent current, 2.2MHz switching frequency (adjustable 1–2.2MHz), and operates across –40°C to +125°C for engine control units and ADAS power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16907RAUE/V+ datasheet, MAX16907RAUE/V+ pinout, MAX16907RAUE/V+ application, or MAX16907RAUE/V+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 42V transient tolerance, 98% max duty cycle during cold-crank undervoltage events, spread-spectrum EMI reduction (factory-enabled in /V+ variant), PGOOD monitoring, and TQFN-16 (5mm × 5mm) thermally enhanced package with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The MAX16907RAUE/V+ implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 900µS), 80ns minimum on-time, and fast load-transient response enabled by integrator-loop architecture enhancements. Its dual-supply inputs (SUP and SUPSW) decouple bias and switch-driver power paths, enabling stable operation during 3.5V cold-crank transients.
It integrates a 5V linear regulator (BIAS) with 4.7–5.3V output and 3.1V UVLO, supports external clock synchronization (FSYNC), and enters skip mode below 300mA load to reduce standby current to 30µA. Overvoltage protection triggers at 110% VFB (≈1.1V), and thermal shutdown activates at +175°C with 15°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX16907RAUE/V+ is housed in a 16-pin TQFN package (5mm × 5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (EP) requiring connection to a large-area ground plane for thermal performance (θJC = 2.7°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FSYNC) | External clock sync input | Accepts 10% higher-frequency external clock; disables internal spread spectrum when active |
| 2 (FOSC) | Frequency-setting resistor node | Connects to GND via RFOSC (e.g., 12kΩ for 2.2MHz); sets oscillator frequency with ±5% accuracy |
| 3 (PGOOD) | Open-drain power-good monitor | Asserts low when VOUT falls below 92.5% of regulation; deasserts above 95% - enables precise power sequencing |
| 4 (OUT) | Switch-regulator output | Delivers regulated voltage; powers internal circuitry during standby when VOUT = 3–5.5V |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback input | 1.0V reference point; tie to BIAS for 5V fixed output; connect resistive divider for adjustable output |
| 6 (COMP) | Error amplifier output | Connect RC compensation network (e.g., RCOMP = 20kΩ, CCOMP1 = 1000pF, CCOMP2 = 12pF) for loop stability |
| 7 (BIAS) | Integrated 5V LDO output | Bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor; powers internal logic and gate drivers; UVLO at 2.9–3.3V |
| 8 (GND) | Analog/digital ground | Main signal return; must be connected to EP and system ground plane with low-inductance path |
| 9 (BST) | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Requires 0.1µF capacitor between BST and LX; enables efficient high-side MOSFET gate drive |
| 10 (SUP) | Main supply input | Powers internal LDO; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic input capacitor; rated –0.3V to +42V absolute max |
| 11–12 (LX) | Switch-node output | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; handles 4A RMS current; voltage swing from GND to VSUPSW |
| 13–14 (SUPSW) | High-side switch supply input | Powers internal MOSFET driver; requires 0.1µF + 4.7µF decoupling; tolerant to 42V transients |
| 15 (EN) | Enable input | Logic-compatible with 3.3V/5V/12V systems; high-threshold = 2V, low-threshold = 0.9V; shuts down IC to 5µA |
| 16 (I.C.) | Internally connected | Must be tied to GND; not functional - internal bond wire connection only |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Primary thermal path; requires soldered connection to solid copper ground plane (not sole GND connection) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the difference between MAX16907RAUE/V+ and MAX16907RAUE?
The /V+ suffix denotes factory-enabled spread-spectrum modulation (±6% frequency dither at 400µs period), which is absent in the base MAX16907RAUE. Both share identical pinout, electrical specs, and thermal performance. MAX16907RAUE/V+ is specified for CISPR-25 Class 5 EMI compliance without external filters, while MAX16907RAUE requires additional shielding or ferrite beads in noise-sensitive applications.
Does MAX16907RAUE/V+ support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, MAX16907RAUE/V+ supports external clock synchronization via the FSYNC pin. The external clock must exceed the internal oscillator frequency by at least 10% (e.g., >2.42MHz for nominal 2.2MHz operation). When FSYNC is active, the internal spread-spectrum function is disabled, and the device locks to the external frequency with acquisition within one cycle.
What is the minimum inductor value recommended for MAX16907RAUE/V+ at 2.2MHz?
For 2.2MHz operation with 5V output and 14V input, the recommended inductor is 2.2µH (e.g., Wurth 744311220). This yields ~30% peak-to-average ripple current, balancing size, efficiency, and transient response. Inductor saturation current must exceed 4.1A (ILX limit), and DC resistance should be minimized to reduce I²R losses in the 3A load range.
How does MAX16907RAUE/V+ handle cold-crank undervoltage conditions?
MAX16907RAUE/V+ maintains regulation during cold-crank by operating at up to 98% duty cycle at 2.2MHz, allowing output delivery even when input drops to 3.5V. Its dual-supply architecture (SUP and SUPSW) ensures the internal LDO remains powered while the high-side switch continues switching - preventing output collapse and enabling uninterrupted ECU operation during engine start.
Can MAX16907RAUE/V+ be used with a 3.3V output configuration?
Yes, MAX16907RAUE/V+ supports 3.3V output using an external resistive divider from OUT to FB to GND. With VFB = 1.0V (±1.5%), set RFB1 = 2.3×RFB2 (e.g., RFB1 = 230kΩ, RFB2 = 100kΩ). The device regulates accurately across –40°C to +125°C, with line regulation of 0.02%/V and load regulation of 0.5% over 30mA–3A.
