Product details
Overview
MAX16975BAEE/V+CG 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+CG datasheet, MAX16975BAEE/V+CG pinout, MAX16975BAEE/V+CG application, or MAX16975BAEE/V+CG equivalent, key selection criteria include cold-crank tolerance (42V transient), programmable reset threshold via RESETI, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout via CRES, and thermal shutdown with automatic recovery at +175°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The MAX16975BAEE/V+CG implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal 1.2A high-side switch and integrated bootstrap diode. Its oscillator supports both resistor programming (FOSC pin) and external synchronization (FSYNC pin), enabling EMI-sensitive automotive designs to align switching with system clocks.
It integrates a 5V linear regulator (BIAS) that powers internal circuitry and transitions to OUT supply when VOUT is between 3V and 5.5V - reducing quiescent current by up to 50µA. The device maintains 94% duty cycle during cold-crank events and employs an internal load (~100mA) to refresh the BST capacitor under no-load dropout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 28V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank dips and load-dump transients up to 42V. |
| Output Current | 1.2A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers in automotive ECUs. |
| Quiescent Current | 45µA in skip mode - enables always-on subsystems (e.g., body control modules) to meet ISO 16750-2 sleep current requirements. |
| Switching Frequency | 220kHz to 1.0MHz - adjustable via FOSC resistor or synchronized externally via FSYNC for noise mitigation. |
| Output Voltage Options | Fixed 5V (FB tied to BIAS) or 1V–10V adjustable (via FB resistive divider) - supports diverse SoC and peripheral voltage rails. |
| Reset Function | Adjustable threshold (via RESETI resistive divider) and capacitor-programmable timeout (via CRES) - ensures reliable MCU boot sequencing under brownout. |
| Thermal Protection | Thermal shutdown at +175°C with +15°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16975BAEE/V+CG is housed in a 16-pin QSOP-EP (exposed pad) package optimized for automotive thermal performance, with qJA = 44°C/W and qJC = 6°C/W per JEDEC JESD51-7 on a four-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CRES | Analog reset timer node | Sources 10µA (typ) to external capacitor; sets RES assertion delay after startup or regulation loss. |
| FOSC | Oscillator frequency programming input | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency from 220kHz to 1.0MHz; enables EMI optimization. |
| FSYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts clock signal 10% faster than internal frequency; eliminates beat frequencies in multi-rail systems. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to compensation network (RC from COMP to GND); stabilizes loop response across line/load/temperature. |
| FB | Feedback input | Direct connection to BIAS selects fixed 5V; resistive divider from OUT to GND sets 1V–10V output with ±1% reference accuracy. |
| OUT | Power output node | Delivers regulated voltage; supplies internal circuitry when VOUT = 3V–5.5V, reducing bias regulator current draw. |
| BIAS | Linear regulator output | 5.0V ±3% LDO output; powers internal logic; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Requires 0.1µF capacitor between BST and LX; critical for gate drive integrity during 100% duty-cycle operation. |
| SUP / SUPSW | Internal LDO and high-side switch supply inputs | Both pins connected together and decoupled with 4.7µF capacitors; SUP powers bias regulator, SUPSW powers switch driver. |
| LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky catch diode; voltage swings from GND to VIN; requires low-inductance layout. |
| EN | Enable input | 3.3V–42V compatible; logic-high >2.2V enables, logic-low <0.8V disables; draws only 10nA leakage. |
| RES | Open-drain active-low reset output | Asserts low when VOUT falls below programmed threshold; debounced for 25µs; sinks 5mA min. |
| RESETI | Reset threshold programming input | Accepts resistive divider from OUT to GND; sets RES activation point with 1.25V internal reference. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Primary return path; exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to large contiguous copper ground plane for thermal management. |
| I.C. | Internally connected | Pin 4 is internally bonded; must be connected to GND per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 42V input transient tolerance | Withstands automotive load-dump events without external TVS, simplifying front-end protection design. |
| Adjustable power-good timing | CRES capacitor sets precise reset timeout independent of output voltage, enabling deterministic boot sequencing for safety-critical MCUs. | Integrated boost diode | Eliminates external bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and PCB area while maintaining robust gate drive under dropout. |
| 94% cold-crank duty cycle | Maintains regulation during engine cranking (as low as ~4.5V battery), ensuring uninterrupted power to ADAS vision processors. |
| Less than 10µA shutdown current | Enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in telematics and gateway modules compliant with UNECE R100 Class 3 requirements. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient tolerance of the MAX16975BAEE/V+CG?
The MAX16975BAEE/V+CG withstands input transients up to +42V, meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load-dump requirements without external TVS diodes. This rating applies across the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and is validated per Maxim's automotive qualification testing protocol.
How does the MAX16975BAEE/V+CG implement cold-crank operation below 6V input?
The MAX16975BAEE/V+CG maintains up to 94% duty cycle during cold-crank events, allowing regulation down to ~4.5V input. It achieves this via internal pass-device control and a dedicated dropout refresh algorithm that activates an internal ~100mA load to sustain BST capacitor voltage when inductor current is insufficient.
Can the MAX16975BAEE/V+CG generate a 3.3V output, and what is the output voltage accuracy?
Yes, the MAX16975BAEE/V+CG delivers 3.3V using an external resistive divider from OUT to FB to GND. Output voltage accuracy is ±1% over temperature (–40°C to +125°C) due to the 1.000V ±0.5% internal FB reference and low FB input current (20nA), minimizing divider error.
What is the purpose of the CRES pin on the MAX16975BAEE/V+CG, and how is it configured?
The CRES pin on the MAX16975BAEE/V+CG sources 10µA (typ) to charge an external capacitor to ground, setting the reset timeout period before RES deasserts after startup or regulation recovery. Timeout = (1.13V × C) / 10µA, where C is in farads - enabling precise, temperature-stable sequencing delays independent of output voltage.
Does the MAX16975BAEE/V+CG support external clock synchronization, and what are the timing requirements?
Yes, the MAX16975BAEE/V+CG accepts external synchronization via the FSYNC pin. The external clock must be 10% higher in frequency than the internal oscillator (set by RFOSC) and exhibit clean edges; acquisition occurs within one cycle, enabling deterministic phase alignment in multi-converter systems.
