Product details
Overview
MAX16945TGUT#G16 from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS inverting charge-pump DC-DC converter delivering -1×VIN output with 30mA guaranteed load current at +105°C, 12Ω typical output resistance, and 125kHz fixed-frequency operation in a 6-pin SOT23 package. It serves as a compact negative supply generator for GaAsFET bias, small LCD panels, and automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16945TGUT#G16 datasheet, MAX16945TGUT#G16 pinout, MAX16945TGUT#G16 application, or MAX16945TGUT#G16 equivalent, key selection criteria include EMI-sensitive automotive qualification (AEC-Q100), logic-controlled shutdown with 0.1µA quiescent current, slew-rate-limited switching, and compatibility with 1.4V–5.5V input rails.
Technical Context
The MAX16945TGUT#G16 implements a two-phase switched-capacitor inverter using four on-chip MOSFET switches (S1–S4) and internal oscillator control. Its fixed 125kHz frequency enables predictable EMI behavior and supports use of low-ESR 2.2µF flying and reservoir capacitors.
It features active output pull-down during shutdown (3Ω to GND), startup current limiting (170mA typ), and temperature-stable efficiency-maintaining ≥99% at zero load and >85% at 30mA with +5V input-due to low quiescent current (950–1700µA) and optimized switch resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +1.4V to +5.5V - supports direct connection to 1.8V, 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. |
| Output Resistance | 12Ω typ (36Ω max at +105°C) - determines voltage droop under load; enables ≤150mV drop at 30mA. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 125kHz fixed - sets capacitor sizing (2.2µF typical), minimizes EMI peak energy, avoids AM radio band. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.03µA max at +105°C - preserves battery life in always-on automotive modules. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +105°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 for under-hood and dashboard electronics. |
| Package | 6-pin SOT23 (U6F+6) - 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint; compatible with standard reflow profiles (JEDEC J-STD-020A). |
Pinout & Package
MAX16945TGUT#G16 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6F+6), with exposed pad not electrically connected. The device uses standard SOT23 land pattern per Maxim document 21-0058.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Inverting charge-pump output | Delivers regulated -VIN voltage; actively pulled to GND via 3Ω during shutdown. |
| 2 - IN | Positive supply input | Accepts 1.4V–5.5V; supplies internal oscillator, logic, and switch drivers. |
| 3 - C1- | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of external flying capacitor (C1); critical for charge transfer phase reversal. |
| 4 - GND | Power and signal reference | Common return for IN, SHDN, C1-, and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance ground plane. |
| 5 - SHDN | Logic-controlled enable/disable | Active-high; drives high for normal operation, low for 0.03µA shutdown with OUT shorted to GND. |
| 6 - C1+ | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of external flying capacitor (C1); forms charge-transfer path with C1-. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Slew-rate limited switching | Reduces high-frequency EMI emissions by controlling edge rates-critical for CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance in automotive modules. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive Grade 2 (-40°C to +105°C) including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing-enables use in safety-critical infotainment and ADAS subsystems. |
| Startup current limiting | Clamps inrush to 170mA typ-prevents brownout on weak sources like alkaline batteries or long PCB traces. |
| Low 12Ω output resistance | Enables stable -3.3V or -5V generation at 30mA with <360mV total droop, eliminating need for post-regulation LDOs. |
| 0.1µA shutdown current | Extends battery runtime in parked-mode applications such as telematics and remote keyless entry receivers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting charge-pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60403DBVR | Fixed -1×VIN topology, 60mA output, 1.6V–5.5V input, but not AEC-Q100 qualified; higher 25Ω output resistance. | Targeted at industrial handhelds-not certified for automotive ECU use. | Select when AEC-Q100 is not required and higher output current justifies larger solution size. |
| LM27761DSGR | Integrated LDO post-regulator, 200mA output, 2.7V–5.5V input, but lacks slew-rate control and has higher EMI emissions. | Used in noise-tolerant consumer audio-unsuitable for CISPR 25-compliant automotive modules. | Choose only if ultra-low noise is unnecessary and post-regulated ±3.3V is mandatory. |
Compared with TPS60403DBVR and LM27761DSGR, the MAX16945TGUT#G16 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, slew-rate-limited switching for EMI suppression, and guaranteed 30mA output at +105°C in a 6-pin SOT23-making it the only drop-in option for production automotive negative rail generation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX16945TGUT#G16 at +105°C?
The MAX16945TGUT#G16 guarantees 30mA continuous output current at +105°C, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Current" with conditions TA = 0°C to +105°C. This rating assumes 2.2µF low-ESR capacitors and accounts for worst-case output resistance degradation at temperature.
Does the MAX16945TGUT#G16 require external diodes or inductors in its typical application circuit?
No, the MAX16945TGUT#G16 requires only two external capacitors-C1 (flying) and C2 (reservoir)-plus an optional input bypass capacitor C3. It contains all necessary MOSFET switches and oscillator circuitry on-die, eliminating diodes, inductors, and external regulators in standard inverting configurations.
Is the MAX16945TGUT#G16 pin-compatible with other members of the MAX169xx family?
No, the MAX16945TGUT#G16 is not pin-compatible with other MAX169xx devices such as MAX16946 or MAX16947. Its 6-pin SOT23 pinout (OUT, IN, C1-, GND, SHDN, C1+) is unique to the MAX16945; alternate variants use different pin assignments and functional allocations.
What is the shutdown behavior of the MAX16945TGUT#G16 regarding the OUT pin?
During shutdown (SHDN = low), the MAX16945TGUT#G16 actively pulls the OUT pin to GND through an internal 3Ω resistor, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "OUT-to-GND Shutdown Resistance." This ensures defined logic levels and prevents floating outputs in automotive systems.
Can the MAX16945TGUT#G16 be used to generate voltages other than -1×VIN?
The MAX16945TGUT#G16 is designed exclusively for -1×VIN inversion. However, the datasheet confirms cascading two units yields approximately -2×VIN (with derating due to first-stage output resistance), and combining with external diodes/capacitors enables doubler-inverter hybrids-but these require additional components and are not supported by the base MAX16945TGUT#G16 functionality alone.
