Product details
Overview
MAX16975BAEE/V+ from Maxim Integrated is a 1.2A automotive-grade current-mode step-down converter with integrated high-side MOSFET, operating from 3.5V to 28V input and delivering fixed 5V or adjustable 1V–10V output. It features 45µA skip-mode quiescent current, 220kHz–1.0MHz resistor-programmable switching frequency, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for engine control units and ADAS power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16975BAEE/V+ datasheet, MAX16975BAEE/V+ pinout, MAX16975BAEE/V+ application, or MAX16975BAEE/V+ equivalent, key selection criteria include cold-crank robustness (94% duty cycle), programmable reset threshold (via RESETI), capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (CRES), and 42V transient tolerance-critical for 12V/24V automotive systems under load dump.
Technical Context
The MAX16975BAEE/V+ implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal 1.2A high-side switch and integrated bootstrap diode. Its oscillator supports both resistor tuning (FOSC pin) and external synchronization (FSYNC), enabling EMI optimization and multi-rail timing alignment in clustered power domains.
It combines dual-supply operation (SUP/SUPSW inputs), BIAS linear regulator (5V ±3%, 4.7–5.3V), and dropout recovery logic that forces periodic LX pull-down to refresh BST voltage-even at no load and 220kHz. Reset assertion occurs at 93% of programmed VOUT level, with hysteresis and timeout fully configurable via external resistors and capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 28V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (down to 3.5V) and ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (42V transient tolerance) |
| Output Current | 1.2A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces without external boost stages |
| Quiescent Current | 45µA in skip mode - enables always-on subsystems (e.g., body control modules) to meet <100µA total system standby targets |
| Switching Frequency | 220kHz to 1.0MHz - adjustable via FOSC resistor or synchronized externally via FSYNC to avoid noise coupling in sensitive RF/analog sections |
| Output Voltage Options | Fixed 5V or 1V–10V adjustable - eliminates feedback resistor network for 5V rails; supports diverse SoC core/I/O voltages with single IC |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature - ensures reliable microcontroller reset assertion down to lowest valid VOUT (e.g., 93% of 1.25V = 1.16V) |
| Thermal Shutdown | +175°C with +15°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload in enclosed junction-box environments without latch-off |
Pinout & Package
MAX16975BAEE/V+ is housed in a 16-pin QSOP-EP package with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for automotive thermal cycling and board-level reliability. The EP must be soldered to a large contiguous copper ground plane but cannot serve as sole GND connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CRES | Analog reset timer current source | Sources 10µA (typ) to external capacitor; sets reset timeout period before RES deassertion after VOUT regulation recovery |
| FOSC | Oscillator frequency programming node | Connects to GND via resistor (e.g., 61.9kΩ → 400kHz); enables EMI tuning without changing layout |
| FSYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 3.3V logic-compatible signal; requires 10% higher frequency than internal oscillator for lock acquisition |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives external Type-II/III compensation network; stability depends on pole-zero placement relative to FB loop gain |
| FB | Feedback reference input | 1.0V ±0.5% internal reference; connects to resistive divider for adjustable outputs or directly to BIAS for fixed 5V |
| OUT | Power output node | Delivers regulated voltage; powers internal circuitry when VOUT = 3–5.6V; pulled to GND via 50Ω during shutdown |
| BIAS | Linear regulator output | 5V ±3% supply for internal logic; bypassed with 1µF ceramic; automatically disabled when VOUT regulates within 3–5.5V range |
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Requires 0.1µF ceramic between BST and LX; refreshed internally during dropout to sustain gate drive above VOUT |
| SUP / SUPSW | Dual input supply pins | SUP powers bias LDO; SUPSW powers high-side switch; both require 4.7µF input capacitance and must be shorted externally |
| EN | Enable control input | 3.3V–42V compatible; asserts device above 2.2V, disables below 0.8V; draws only 10nA leakage in shutdown |
| RES | Open-drain active-low reset output | Asserts low when VOUT falls below reset threshold; sinks ≥5mA; requires external pull-up for logic-level compatibility |
| RESETI | Reset threshold programming input | Accepts resistive divider from OUT/GND; sets reset point using 1.25V internal reference; connect to GND for default 95% VOUT threshold |
| LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky catch diode; voltage swings from GND to VIN; critical for EMI filtering and thermal management |
| GND | Signal and power ground | Primary return path; EP must be connected to same ground plane but not substituted for pin 8 GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 42V input transient tolerance | Withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a load dump without external TVS, reducing BOM count and PCB area in front-end power stages |
| Adjustable reset timeout (CRES) | Enables precise power-up sequencing for multi-rail SoCs by delaying RES deassertion until all supplies stabilize-configurable from 1ms to >1s |
| Internal boost diode | Eliminates need for external bootstrap diode, simplifying layout and improving reliability in high-vibration automotive environments |
| 94% cold-crank duty cycle | Maintains regulation during engine start (VIN ≈ 6V) by extending on-time, preventing MCU brownout in critical ignition sequences |
| Less than 10µA shutdown current | Meets OEM requirements for ultra-low-power sleep modes in telematics and gateway ECUs with battery backup |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the MAX16975BAEE/V+ can withstand?
The MAX16975BAEE/V+ tolerates up to 42V input transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, enabling direct connection to automotive battery rails without external TVS diodes. This rating is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range and applies to both SUP and SUPSW pins. Absolute maximum ratings specify –0.3V to +45V for SUP/SUPSW-to-GND, confirming robustness beyond typical load-dump conditions.
How does the MAX16975BAEE/V+ maintain regulation during cold-crank events?
The MAX16975BAEE/V+ sustains output regulation during cold-crank (VIN ≈ 3.5V–6V) by dynamically extending the high-side switch on-time to 94% duty cycle. This behavior is implemented in hardware via internal dropout detection logic and does not require external configuration. The device continues regulating down to its minimum input voltage while maintaining tight output accuracy (±1%) and controlled soft-start ramp.
Can the MAX16975BAEE/V+ operate with a fixed 5V output without external resistors?
Yes, the MAX16975BAEE/V+ supports fixed 5V output by connecting the FB pin directly to the BIAS pin-eliminating the need for an external resistive divider. In this configuration, the internal 1.0V reference and BIAS voltage (5.0V ±3%) set VOUT to 5.0V ±1.5%. This reduces component count and improves accuracy versus resistor-based solutions subject to tolerance stacking.
What is the function of the CRES pin on the MAX16975BAEE/V+?
The CRES pin on the MAX16975BAEE/V+ sources a precise 10µA (typ) current into an external capacitor to define the reset timeout period. When VOUT falls out of regulation, RES asserts low and CRES discharges the capacitor with 1mA pulldown current; upon recovery, CRES recharges it at 10µA. RES remains low until CRES voltage reaches 1.13V (typ), enabling programmable delay from 1ms to seconds based on capacitor value.
Does the MAX16975BAEE/V+ require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the MAX16975BAEE/V+ integrates a bootstrap diode, eliminating the need for an external component between BST and SUPSW. This reduces bill-of-materials cost, PCB footprint, and potential failure points in high-vibration automotive applications. The internal diode is rated for the full 1.2A switch current and supports the device's dropout refresh algorithm without derating.
