Product details
Overview
MAX16945TGUT+ from Maxim Integrated is an AEC-Q100 qualified monolithic inverting charge-pump IC that converts +1.4V to +5.5V input into a regulated -VIN output, delivering up to 30mA continuous current at +105°C with 12Ω typical output resistance and 125kHz fixed-frequency operation. It serves as a compact negative supply generator for GaAsFET bias, small LCD panels, and EMI-sensitive automotive infotainment modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16945TGUT+ datasheet, MAX16945TGUT+ pinout, MAX16945TGUT+ application, or MAX16945TGUT+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 30mA output at +105°C, slew-rate-limited switching for EMI reduction, 0.1µA shutdown current, 6-pin SOT23 footprint, and automotive-grade thermal and reliability qualification.
Technical Context
The MAX16945TGUT+ implements a two-phase switched-capacitor voltage inverter using four on-chip power MOSFETs and internal oscillator control. Its fixed 125kHz switching frequency enables use of 2.2µF ceramic flying and reservoir capacitors while maintaining low output impedance.
It features active output pull-down during shutdown (3Ω to GND), startup current limiting (170mA typ), and logic-controlled SHDN with sub-100µs wake-up time. Input voltage range (1.4V–5.5V) and output resistance (≤36Ω over temperature) are specified across -40°C to +105°C for automotive deployment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +1.4V to +5.5V - supports direct connection to 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic rails without external regulation. |
| Output Current | 30mA guaranteed at +105°C - ensures stable negative bias under full automotive temperature stress. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 125kHz (typ) - balances EMI performance and capacitor size; fixed frequency eliminates external timing components. |
| Output Resistance | 12Ω (typ) at +25°C; ≤36Ω over -40°C to +105°C - defines load regulation and voltage droop under 30mA output. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.03µA max at +105°C - enables ultra-low-power system sleep modes in battery-backed automotive ECUs. |
| Package | 6-pin SOT23 (U6F+6) - surface-mount footprint compatible with standard reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020A. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 2 (-40°C to +105°C) - qualified for engine bay and cabin electronics per automotive reliability standard. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16945TGUT+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6F+6), with exposed pad not connected internally. Thermal design requires adherence to JEDEC J-STD-020A reflow profile due to specialized packaging construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Inverting charge-pump output | Delivers regulated -VIN voltage; actively pulled to GND via 3Ω switch during shutdown. |
| 2 - IN | Positive input supply | Accepts 1.4V–5.5V; supplies all internal circuitry and flying capacitor charging path. |
| 3 - C1- | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of external flying capacitor (C1); critical for charge transfer phase reversal. |
| 4 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, SHDN, and internal switches; must be low-impedance plane for EMI control. |
| 5 - SHDN | Logic-controlled shutdown enable | Active-low input; <0.2V = shutdown (2nA IQ), >2.1V = normal operation (125kHz switching). |
| 6 - C1+ | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of external flying capacitor (C1); alternates between IN and OUT potentials each half-cycle. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Slew-rate limited switching | Reduces high-frequency EMI emissions to meet CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements in automotive head units and ADAS sensors. |
| Startup current limiting | Clamps inrush to 170mA typ, preventing brownout on weak sources like alkaline batteries or long PCB traces. |
| Active output pull-down | 3Ω internal switch pulls OUT to GND in shutdown, eliminating need for external discharge resistor in safety-critical systems. |
| Low-ESR capacitor optimized | Guaranteed 30mA output requires flying/output capacitors with ≤0.3Ω ESR - validated with standard X5R/X7R 0603 ceramics. |
| Thermal robustness | Rated for continuous operation at +105°C ambient with 134°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance - suitable for under-dash mounting. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting charge-pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM27761DSGR | Fixed 1.2MHz switching; 200mA peak output; no AEC-Q100 qualification; 10-pin WSON package. | Higher frequency enables smaller 1µF capacitors but increases EMI risk in automotive cabins. | Select when board space is constrained and EMI filtering can be added externally; not recommended for under-hood use. |
| TPS60403DBVR | 1.2MHz switching; 60mA output; industrial temp range only (-40°C to +85°C); 5-pin SOT23. | Lacks automotive qualification and active output pull-down; higher quiescent current (120µA vs. 0.03µA). | Acceptable for non-safety-critical industrial PDAs where cost is prioritized over thermal margin and shutdown behavior. |
Compared with LM27761DSGR and TPS60403DBVR, MAX16945TGUT+ trades higher-frequency efficiency for lower EMI, adds automotive qualification and active shutdown, and maintains compatibility with legacy 2.2µF capacitor footprints - making it the only option qualified for direct replacement in AEC-Q100-compliant designs requiring guaranteed 30mA at +105°C.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX16945TGUT+ at +105°C?
The MAX16945TGUT+ guarantees 30mA continuous output current at +105°C, verified across production lots per AEC-Q100 stress testing. This rating assumes use of 2.2µF ceramic capacitors with ≤0.3Ω ESR and proper PCB layout with ground plane. At +25°C, short-circuit current reaches 170mA, but sustained operation above 30mA at high temperature exceeds thermal limits.
Does the MAX16945TGUT+ require external timing components?
No, the MAX16945TGUT+ integrates a fixed-frequency 125kHz oscillator and all four power MOSFET switches on-die. No external resistors or capacitors are needed for frequency setting. Only two external 2.2µF ceramic capacitors (C1 flying, C2 reservoir) and optional input bypass capacitor C3 are required for basic operation.
How does the MAX16945TGUT+ behave during shutdown?
When SHDN is driven low, the MAX16945TGUT+ halts switching, reduces supply current to ≤0.03µA at +105°C, and actively pulls the OUT pin to GND through a 3Ω internal switch. This eliminates floating outputs and removes need for external discharge paths - critical for functional safety in automotive systems where uncontrolled node voltages could disrupt downstream circuitry.
Is the MAX16945TGUT+ pin-compatible with other Maxim charge pumps?
No, the MAX16945TGUT+ uses a unique 6-pin SOT23 pinout (OUT-IN-C1--GND-SHDN-C1+) optimized for inverting topology. It is not pin-compatible with MAX680, MAX660, or MAX1722 series, which use different pin assignments and lack AEC-Q100 qualification. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision.
What capacitor types and values are recommended for the MAX16945TGUT+?
Maxim specifies 2.2µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors (0603 or 0805) for both C1 (flying) and C2 (reservoir), with ESR ≤0.3Ω. Larger values (e.g., 4.7µF) reduce output impedance further but yield diminishing returns beyond 2.2µF. An optional 2.2µF input bypass capacitor (C3) is recommended to suppress switching noise on the IN rail.
