Product details
Overview
MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF 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 stable 5V/3A power under cold-crank undervoltage transients (98% duty cycle) and supports spread-spectrum EMI reduction. Used in automotive infotainment power rails and industrial high-voltage PoL supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF datasheet, MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF pinout, MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF application, or MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF equivalent, key selection criteria include 42V transient tolerance, 30µA standby current, 80ns minimum on-time for high VIN/VOUT ratios, PGOOD monitoring for sequencing, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with exposed pad thermal management.
Technical Context
The MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal slope compensation and fast load-transient response via integrator architecture enhancements. Its dual-supply inputs (SUP and SUPSW) enable independent biasing and high-side switch drive during 3.5V cold-crank events.
It features programmable 1MHz–2.2MHz oscillator (via FOSC resistor), external clock synchronization (FSYNC), skip mode for light-load efficiency, and integrated 5V BIAS LDO powering internal circuitry. Protection includes overcurrent limit (4.1A typ), overvoltage lockout (110% VFB), thermal shutdown (+175°C), and automatic recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package with exposed pad (EP), optimized for automotive thermal performance and PCB layout simplicity. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large contiguous copper ground plane for effective heat dissipation (θJA = 38.3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FSYNC) | External clock sync input | Accepts 10% higher-frequency clock for EMI reduction or multi-rail synchronization; connect to GND for internal oscillator |
| 2 (FOSC) | Frequency-setting resistor node | Connects to GND via resistor (e.g., 12kΩ for 2.2MHz); sets oscillator frequency across full 1–2.2MHz range |
| 3 (PGOOD) | Open-drain power-good output | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 92.5% VFB; deasserts high above 95% VFB - enables safe processor reset sequencing |
| 4 (OUT) | Switch-regulator output node | Delivers regulated 5V (fixed) or adjustable output; powers internal circuitry when VOUT = 3–5V in standby mode |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback voltage input | Connect to BIAS for 5V fixed output; connect resistive divider (VOUT→FB→GND) for 1–10V adjustment (VFB = 1.0V) |
| 6 (COMP) | Error amplifier output | Connect RC network to GND for loop compensation; sets phase margin and transient response per application requirements |
| 7 (BIAS) | Integrated 5V LDO output | Powers internal logic and gate drivers; bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability |
| 8 (GND) | Analog/digital ground reference | Main signal return path; connects to EP and all decoupling capacitors for low-noise operation |
| 9 (BST) | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Requires 0.1µF capacitor between BST and LX to sustain gate drive during high-side conduction |
| 10 (SUP) | Main supply input (bias regulator) | Accepts 3.5–36V; powers internal LDO; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| 11–12 (LX) | Switching node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; high dv/dt node requiring short, low-inductance routing |
| 13–14 (SUPSW) | High-side switch supply input | Separate 3.5–36V input for internal MOSFET driver; requires 0.1µF + 4.7µF decoupling to GND |
| 15 (EN) | Enable input (3.3V-compatible) | Logic-high (>2V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.9V) enters 5µA shutdown; compatible with KL30/KL15 automotive signals |
| 16 (I.C.) | Internally connected | Must be tied to GND; not functional - serves internal test or trimming purpose |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Primary thermal path to PCB; must be soldered to solid ground plane - not used as sole GND connection |

|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480QRTWRQ1 | 3.5V–36V input, 4A output, 2.1MHz max, 15µA IQ, no integrated BIAS LDO, requires external bootstrap capacitor | Lacks integrated 5V BIAS rail; needs external LDO for biasing; better light-load efficiency but higher BOM count | Choose when lowest quiescent current (15µA) is critical and external biasing is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF can withstand during load dump events?
The MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF supports 42V input transients for durations under 1 second, meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements for automotive load dump protection. This rating applies to both SUP and SUPSW pins, ensuring robustness without external TVS clamping in many implementations. The device remains functional and does not latch up during such events, recovering automatically once voltage returns within normal operating range. This capability is verified across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range.
Does the MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF require external components to set its 5V output voltage?
No, the MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF achieves a precise 5V fixed output by connecting the FB pin directly to the BIAS pin - eliminating external feedback resistors and reducing BOM count and layout area. This configuration leverages the internal 1.0V reference and trimmed BIAS regulator (4.7V–5.3V) to deliver 4.925V–5.075V output with ±1.5% total accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions. External resistive dividers are only needed for adjustable outputs between 1V and 10V.
How does the MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF manage thermal performance in a TSSOP-16 package?
The MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF uses an exposed pad (EP) in its TSSOP-16 package to achieve θJA = 38.3°C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC board. Effective thermal management requires soldering the EP to a large, low-thermal-resistance copper ground plane - not using it as the sole GND connection. The device includes thermal shutdown at +175°C (typ) with +15°C hysteresis, enabling automatic recovery after cooling. Derating begins above +70°C ambient (26.1mW/°C), supporting continuous 3A operation up to +105°C ambient with proper PCB layout.
Can the MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF synchronize to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes, the MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF accepts synchronization via the FSYNC pin. The external clock frequency must exceed the internal oscillator frequency by at least 10% (e.g., >2.42MHz for nominal 2.2MHz operation) and exhibit clean edges with VIH ≥ 1.4V and VIL ≤ 0.4V. Acquisition occurs within one clock cycle. When synchronized, internal spread spectrum is disabled - but externally generated spread-spectrum clocks are accepted. This feature enables EMI reduction across multiple rails and avoids beat frequencies in complex power systems.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF?
The MAX16907SAUE/V+CMF integrates overcurrent limit (3.4–6A typ), output overvoltage protection (trip at 105–115% VFB), thermal shutdown (+175°C), and short-circuit protection with automatic recovery. It also includes BIAS LDO undervoltage lockout (2.9–3.3V) and EN input hysteresis (0.2V) for noise immunity. During overload, it cycles through 16ms shutdown and soft-start reinitiation. All protections operate across the full –40°C to +125°C range without external components, ensuring fail-safe behavior in automotive and industrial environments.
