Product details
Overview
MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD from Maxim Integrated is a 3A, current-mode, automotive-grade step-down DC-DC converter with integrated 70mΩ high-side MOSFET, 3.5V–36V input range, 5V fixed or 1V–10V adjustable output, and 2.2MHz switching frequency. It delivers 3A continuous output in a 16-pin TSSOP package with exposed pad, optimized for cold-crank automotive power rails and industrial high-voltage point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD datasheet, MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD pinout, MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD application, or MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30µA standby current, 42V transient tolerance, 98% max duty cycle during undervoltage events, spread-spectrum EMI reduction (S-version), and power-good monitoring for supply sequencing.
Technical Context
The MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD employs constant-frequency current-mode control with internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 900µS), 80ns minimum on-time, and fast load-transient response enabled by integrator architecture enhancements. Its dual-supply inputs (SUP and SUPSW) decouple bias and switch power paths, enabling stable operation down to 3.5V input while maintaining 98% duty cycle during cold-crank transients.
It supports resistor-programmable switching frequency (1MHz–2.2MHz via FOSC pin), external clock synchronization (FSYNC), skip-mode light-load operation (<185mA), and integrated protections including overcurrent limit (3.4A–6A), overvoltage trip (105–115% VFB), thermal shutdown (+175°C), and automatic recovery. The BIAS LDO (5V ±1%) powers internal circuitry and enables VOUT-powered standby mode at 30µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank (≥3.5V) and load-dump (≤42V transient) |
| Output Current | 3A continuous - sufficient for microcontroller cores, CAN transceivers, and sensor clusters in automotive ECUs |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 2.2MHz - enables compact 2.2µH inductors and reduces board area vs. lower-frequency buck converters |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA in standby - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., telematics, alarm systems) |
| Output Voltage Options | 5V fixed (FB tied to BIAS) or 1V–10V adjustable - eliminates external resistors for 5V rail; supports diverse SoC I/O and core voltages |
| Protection Features | Overcurrent, overvoltage (105–115% VFB), thermal shutdown (+175°C), and short-circuit - enables robust field operation without external supervision |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive placement and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5mm) with exposed thermal pad (EP), rated for 2088.8mW continuous power dissipation at +70°C ambient (derates 26.1mW/°C above).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FSYNC) | Synchronization input | Accepts external clock ≥10% above internal frequency; disables internal spread spectrum when active |
| 2 (FOSC) | Frequency-setting input | Connects to GND via resistor (e.g., 12kΩ for 2.2MHz); sets oscillator frequency from 1MHz–2.2MHz |
| 3 (PGOOD) | Open-drain power-good monitor | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 92.5% VFB; deasserts high above 95% VFB - enables safe power sequencing |
| 4 (OUT) | Switch regulator output | Delivers regulated 5V or adjustable output; powers internal circuitry in standby when VOUT = 3V–5.5V |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback input | Connect to BIAS for 5V fixed output; connect to resistive divider for 1V–10V adjustment (VFB = 1.0V ±1.5%) |
| 6 (COMP) | Error amplifier output | External RC compensation network connects here to stabilize current-mode loop (gm = 900µS) |
| 7 (BIAS) | Internal 5V LDO output | Bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor; powers internal logic and enables low-IQ standby mode |
| 8 (GND) | Analog/digital ground reference | Primary signal return; EP must be connected to large-area copper plane but not sole GND path |
| 9 (BST) | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate driver | Requires 0.1µF capacitor between BST and LX to sustain high-side FET conduction |
| 10 (SUP) | Main supply input for bias circuitry | Accepts 3.5V–36V; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling to GND |
| 11–12 (LX) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky freewheeling diode anode; handles peak currents up to 4A RMS |
| 13–14 (SUPSW) | High-side switch supply input | Separate 3.5V–36V input for internal FET driver; requires 0.1µF + 4.7µF decoupling to GND |
| 15 (EN) | Enable input | Logic-compatible with 3.3V–36V; high enables operation, low forces 5µA shutdown current |
| 16 (I.C.) | Internally connected | Must be tied to GND; not functional as signal pin |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Connected to GND plane for thermal dissipation; junction-to-ambient θJA = 38.3°C/W (TSSOP) |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD to start switching?
The MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD begins switching when the SUP input reaches 3.5V, enabling reliable operation during automotive cold-crank events where battery voltage may dip to 3.2V–3.8V. This start-up threshold is guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C and is independent of the SUPSW rail, which can remain lower during undervoltage transients. The device maintains regulation using up to 98% duty cycle until the input recovers.
Does MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD support both fixed 5V and adjustable output configurations?
Yes, MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD supports both configurations. For fixed 5V output, connect the FB pin directly to the BIAS pin; for adjustable output from 1V to 10V, connect FB to a resistive divider between OUT and GND, using VFB = 1.0V ±1.5% as the reference. The internal feedback amplifier ensures ±0.5% load regulation and ±0.02%/V line regulation across the full input range.
How does the spread-spectrum feature work in MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD?
The spread-spectrum feature in MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD modulates the switching frequency ±6% around the nominal value (e.g., 2.2MHz) using a 400µs triangular waveform - ramping up over 200µs and down over 200µs. This dithering reduces peak EMI emissions without altering average frequency or efficiency. The feature is factory-enabled in the "S" version (MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD) and automatically disables when FSYNC is active.
What thermal performance can be expected from MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD in TSSOP package?
In its 16-pin TSSOP package with exposed pad, MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 38.3°C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board. At +70°C ambient, it supports 2088.8mW continuous power dissipation before derating begins. Proper PCB layout - including ≥200mm² copper pour connected to EP and multiple thermal vias - is essential to maintain ≤125°C junction temperature at full 3A load.
Can MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD operate with only one input voltage source?
Yes, MAX16907SAUE/V+CMD can operate with a single input source by connecting both SUP and SUPSW pins to the same voltage rail (e.g., 12V or 24V). While the dual-input architecture optimizes efficiency and cold-crank behavior when rails are separated, tying them together is fully supported and commonly used in industrial applications where only one supply is available. No performance degradation occurs in this configuration.
