Product details
Overview
MAX16907SATE/V+CMF 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 MAX16907SATE/V+CMF datasheet, MAX16907SATE/V+CMF pinout, MAX16907SATE/V+CMF application, or MAX16907SATE/V+CMF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 42V transient tolerance, skip-mode light-load efficiency, integrated BIAS LDO, PGOOD monitoring, and TQFN-16 (5mm × 5mm) thermally enhanced package with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The MAX16907SATE/V+CMF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 900µS), 80ns minimum on-time, and 98% maximum duty cycle-enabling stable regulation during cold-crank undervoltage events down to 3.5V input. Its dual-supply inputs (SUP and SUPSW) decouple logic and power-switch biasing, supporting robust operation under load-dump and reverse-battery conditions.
It integrates a 5V/100mA BIAS LDO, programmable oscillator with resistor (RFOSC) or external clock (FSYNC) synchronization, and comprehensive protection including overvoltage (110% VFB trip), thermal shutdown (+175°C), and hiccup-mode overload recovery. The device enters skip mode below 300mA load and achieves 5µA shutdown current when EN is low.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX16907SATE/V+CMF 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 management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FSYNC) | External clock sync input | Accepts external clock >10% above internal fSW for deterministic EMI reduction and multi-rail synchronization |
| 2 (FOSC) | Frequency-setting resistor node | Connects to GND via RFOSC (e.g., 12kΩ for 2.2MHz); sets oscillator frequency and influences loop bandwidth |
| 3 (PGOOD) | Open-drain power-good monitor | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 92.5% of regulation; enables safe power sequencing with downstream ICs |
| 4 (OUT) | Switch-regulator output | Delivers regulated DC output; supplies internal circuitry in standby when VOUT = 3–5.5V |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback voltage sense input | Connected to BIAS for 5V fixed output; connected to resistive divider for adjustable output (VFB = 1.0V typ) |
| 6 (COMP) | Error amplifier output | Interface for RC compensation network to stabilize control loop across line/load/temperature variations |
| 7 (BIAS) | Integrated 5V LDO output | Powers internal analog blocks; requires 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
| 8 (GND) | Analog/digital ground reference | Primary signal return; must be tied to EP and system ground with low-inductance path |
| 9 (BST) | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate driver | Requires 0.1µF capacitor between BST and LX to sustain gate drive during high-duty-cycle operation |
| 10 (SUP) | Main supply input for logic/LDO | Accepts 3.5–36V; powers internal regulator; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic input capacitor |
| 11–12 (LX) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky freewheel diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout |
| 13–14 (SUPSW) | High-side switch supply input | Separate 3.5–36V input for power switch; decoupled with 0.1µF + 4.7µF ceramics to minimize switching noise |
| 15 (EN) | Enable input | Logic-compatible (3.3V–36V tolerant); pulls device into 5µA shutdown when low; supports KL30/KL15 wake-up schemes |
| 16 (I.C.) | Internally connected | Must be connected to GND; not functional but required for mechanical stability and thermal conduction |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Primary thermal path to PCB; must be soldered to solid copper ground plane (≥4 cm² recommended) |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the MAX16907SATE/V+CMF can survive?
The MAX16907SATE/V+CMF withstands input transients up to 42V for durations less than 1 second, complying with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load-dump requirements. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in most automotive applications, provided layout follows Maxim's recommended grounding and decoupling practices for SUP and SUPSW pins.
Does the MAX16907SATE/V+CMF support spread-spectrum operation?
Yes-the MAX16907SATE/V+CMF is the "S-version" variant with factory-enabled spread-spectrum modulation, varying the 2.2MHz switching frequency by ±6% with a 400µs triangular period. This feature reduces peak EMI emissions without requiring external components or configuration, and is disabled automatically when FSYNC synchronization is active.
How does the MAX16907SATE/V+CMF achieve 30µA quiescent current?
The MAX16907SATE/V+CMF achieves 30µA no-load IQ by entering skip mode at light loads (<300mA), then disabling most internal circuitry-including the BIAS LDO-and drawing bias current directly from VOUT (when 3V ≤ VOUT ≤ 5.5V). This architecture minimizes battery drain in always-on automotive subsystems while maintaining fast wake-up capability via EN pin control.
What is the purpose of the separate SUP and SUPSW pins on the MAX16907SATE/V+CMF?
SUP powers the internal logic and bias LDO, while SUPSW independently supplies the high-side MOSFET gate driver. This dual-input architecture allows the device to maintain regulation during cold-crank events-even when SUPSW drops below VOUT-by sustaining 98% duty cycle. It also isolates switching noise from sensitive analog blocks powered by SUP.
Can the MAX16907SATE/V+CMF be used with a 3.3V output?
Yes-the MAX16907SATE/V+CMF supports adjustable output from 1V to 10V using an external resistor divider from OUT to FB to GND. For 3.3V output, set RFB1 and RFB2 so that FB senses 1.0V (VFB typical), e.g., RFB2 = 100kΩ and RFB1 ≈ 230kΩ. The device maintains ±1% output accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions.
