Product details
Overview
MAX16975BAEE/V+T from Maxim Integrated is a 28V, 1.2A automotive step-down converter with integrated high-side MOSFET, 45µA skip-mode quiescent current, adjustable 220kHz–1.0MHz switching frequency, and pin-selectable 5V fixed or 1V–10V adjustable output. It operates across -40°C to +125°C and supports cold-crank (94% duty cycle) in automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16975BAEE/V+T datasheet, MAX16975BAEE/V+T pinout, MAX16975BAEE/V+T application, or MAX16975BAEE/V+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 42V transient tolerance, programmable reset threshold via RESETI, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout via CRES, and compatibility with 3.3V logic-level enable inputs in battery-supplied environments.
Technical Context
This current-mode buck regulator uses an internal 1.2A high-side switch with 300–550mΩ on-resistance and integrates a 5V BIAS linear regulator that auto-switches between self-supply and output-derived supply depending on VOUT level (3V–5.5V range). Its oscillator supports resistor-programmed frequency or external synchronization via FSYNC with ±10% acquisition window.
The device implements dropout-aware BST capacitor refresh logic-forcing periodic LX pull-down during sustained high-duty-cycle operation-and features dual-mode protection: cycle-by-cycle current limiting plus thermal shutdown at +175°C with +15°C hysteresis, and overvoltage lockout at +12% VOUT deviation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 28V continuous; withstands 42V transients-enables direct connection to automotive battery without pre-regulator. |
| Output Current | 1.2A continuous; 1.5–2.0A current limit-supports microcontroller cores, CAN transceivers, and sensor clusters. |
| Quiescent Current | 45µA in skip mode, 9µA in shutdown-meets ISO 16750-2 sleep-mode current requirements for always-on ECUs. |
| Switching Frequency | 220kHz–1.0MHz, resistor- or clock-synchronized-allows EMI tuning and inductor size optimization (e.g., 10µH @ 400kHz). |
| Output Voltage | Pin-selectable 5V fixed or 1V–10V adjustable via FB divider-supports 3.3V, 5V, and 12V rail generation from single IC. |
| Reset Function | Adjustable threshold (via RESETI resistive divider) and capacitor-timed timeout (via CRES)-ensures deterministic MCU boot sequencing under brownout. |
| Thermal Protection | +175°C shutdown with +15°C hysteresis; QSOP-EP package achieves 44°C/W θJA-enables 1.2A operation at +105°C ambient without forced air. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16975BAEE/V+T is packaged in a 16-pin thermally enhanced QSOP-EP (exposed pad), optimized for automotive PCB layouts requiring low thermal resistance (θJA = 44°C/W) and high reliability under vibration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CRES | Analog reset timer node | Sources 10µA to external capacitor; sets RES assertion delay after startup or dropout recovery. |
| FOSC | Oscillator frequency programming input | Connects to GND via resistor (e.g., 61.9kΩ → 400kHz); enables EMI compliance tuning. |
| FSYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 3.3V/5V logic; locks internal oscillator to external source within ±10% period margin. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Interface point for Type II/III compensation network-stabilizes loop across line/load/temp variations. |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense input | 1.0V reference; connects to resistive divider for adjustable output or ties directly to BIAS for 5V fixed mode. |
| OUT | Power output node | Delivers regulated voltage; powers internal circuitry when VOUT = 3–5.5V, reducing quiescent current by ~50µA. |
| BIAS | Internal LDO output | 5.0V ±3%, supplies control circuitry; bypassed with 1µF ceramic-critical for stable startup and light-load behavior. |
| BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate driver | Requires 0.1µF capacitor to LX; internal refresh algorithm maintains gate drive during dropout (e.g., cold-crank). |
| SUP / SUPSW | Main supply inputs | SUP powers bias LDO; SUPSW powers high-side switch; both require 4.7µF ceramic decoupling near pins. |
| LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky catch diode; voltage swings from GND to VIN-layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| EN | Enable input | 3.3V–42V compatible; 0.8V/2.2V thresholds with 0.2V hysteresis-directly drivable from KL30 or CAN transceiver INH. |
| RES | Open-drain active-low reset output | Asserts when VOUT falls below programmed threshold (e.g., 93% of setpoint); pulls low with 5mA sink capability. |
| RESETI | Reset threshold programming input | Accepts resistive divider from OUT/GND; sets internal comparator reference to 1.25V (typ) for precise brownout detection. |
| GND | Signal and power ground | Primary return path; EP must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal performance-no standalone ground connection. |
| I.C. | Internally connected | Must be tied to GND; not functional-internal bond wire connection to substrate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 42V input transient tolerance | Withstands load-dump events per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without external TVS-reduces BOM count and board space. |
| Capacitor-programmable reset timeout | CRES current source (10µA typ) enables precise, temperature-stable reset hold-off timing independent of VOUT regulation status. |
| Auto-switching BIAS supply | Transfers internal power from BIAS to OUT when VOUT = 3–5.5V-cuts no-load IQ by up to 50µA versus fixed-LDO architectures. |
| Dropout-aware BST refresh | Forces LX pull-down every ~7.65 cycles at 220kHz to recharge BST cap-maintains gate drive integrity during cold-crank (VIN ≈ VOUT). |
| Adjustable soft-start time | 4ms @ 400kHz, 1.6ms @ 1.0MHz-prevents inrush current while enabling fast wake-up in start-stop systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the MAX16975BAEE/V+T can withstand?
The MAX16975BAEE/V+T withstands 42V input transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, enabling direct connection to automotive battery 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 on SUP/SUPSW relative to GND, confirming robustness against load-dump events.
How does the MAX16975BAEE/V+T handle cold-crank conditions?
The MAX16975BAEE/V+T maintains 94% duty cycle during cold-crank (low VIN) to sustain output regulation down to ~4.5V input. Its internal BST capacitor refresh algorithm forces periodic LX pull-down to recharge the bootstrap cap, ensuring gate drive integrity. Combined with 45µA skip-mode IQ, this enables reliable operation during engine start when battery voltage dips to 3.5V–6V for several hundred milliseconds.
Can the MAX16975BAEE/V+T generate a 3.3V output, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX16975BAEE/V+T generates 3.3V using the adjustable output mode: connect FB to a resistive divider between OUT and GND with R1 = 100kΩ and R2 = 30.1kΩ (yielding VOUT = 1.0V × (1 + R1/R2) = 3.3V). The 1.0V FB reference ensures ±0.5% accuracy over temperature, and the BIAS LDO automatically switches to OUT supply when VOUT = 3–5.5V, reducing quiescent current by ~50µA.
What is the purpose of the CRES pin on the MAX16975BAEE/V+T, and how is it used?
The CRES pin on the MAX16975BAEE/V+T sources a precise 10µA (typ) current to charge an external capacitor, setting the reset timeout period before RES deasserts after startup or dropout recovery. Timeout = (1.13V × C)/10µA, where C is in farads. For example, a 100nF capacitor yields ~11.3ms delay-ensuring microcontrollers complete initialization before release from reset.
Does the MAX16975BAEE/V+T support synchronization to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes, the MAX16975BAEE/V+T synchronizes to an external clock applied to the FSYNC pin. The external signal must have a frequency 10% higher than the internal oscillator frequency (set by RFOSC) for reliable acquisition. FSYNC accepts 3.3V or 5V logic levels, with thresholds at 0.4V (low) and 1.4V (high), and includes a 500kΩ internal pulldown for noise immunity during clock absence.
