Product details
Overview
MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG from Maxim Integrated is a 28V, 1.2A automotive-grade current-mode 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 voltage. It delivers stable power to infotainment processors and ADAS domain controllers under cold-crank (3.5V input) and load-dump (42V transient) conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG datasheet, MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG pinout, MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG application, or MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +125°C operation, 94% cold-crank duty cycle, programmable reset threshold via RESETI, capacitor-adjustable CRES timeout, and thermally enhanced QSOP-EP package with 44°C/W θJA.
Technical Context
The MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal 1.2A high-side switch and integrated bootstrap diode. Its oscillator supports resistor-programmed frequency (220kHz–1.0MHz) and external synchronization via FSYNC with ±10% acquisition window.
It features dual power-supply architecture: BIAS linear regulator (5V, 5mA) powers internal circuitry until VOUT reaches regulation (3V–5.5V), then switches to OUT-derived supply; SUP/SUPSW inputs tolerate 42V transients and support independent decoupling for noise isolation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 28V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (3.5V) and nominal 12V/24V systems |
| Output Current | 1.2A continuous - sufficient for powering single-core microcontrollers or low-power SoCs in body electronics |
| Quiescent Current | 45µA in skip mode - enables >10-year battery standby in always-on vehicle modules |
| Switching Frequency | 220kHz to 1.0MHz - adjustable via FOSC resistor; higher frequencies reduce inductor size but increase switching losses |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V or adjustable 1V–10V - pin-strapped FB-to-BIAS for 5V; external divider for custom rails like 3.3V or 1.2V |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 44°C/W (QSOP-EP) - enables 1.2A operation at +105°C ambient without forced airflow |
| Protection Features | Cycle-by-cycle current limit, overvoltage shutdown (>12% OV), thermal shutdown at +175°C with +15°C hysteresis - ensures robust field reliability |
Pinout & Package
MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG is housed in a 16-pin thermally enhanced QSOP-EP package with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND for optimal heat dissipation. The EP must be soldered to a large contiguous copper ground plane; it is not the sole ground connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CRES | Analog reset timer current source | Sources 10µA to external capacitor; sets RES assertion delay after startup or dropout recovery |
| 2 FOSC | Oscillator frequency programming node | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency (220kHz–1.0MHz); enables EMI optimization |
| 3 FSYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 10% faster external clock; eliminates beat frequencies in multi-rail systems |
| 4 I.C. | Internally connected | Must be tied to GND; no external connection or component required |
| 5 COMP | Error amplifier output | Connect Type II/III compensation network to stabilize loop response across line/load/temp |
| 6 FB | Feedback voltage sense input | Direct connection to BIAS selects 5V fixed output; resistive divider enables 1V–10V adjustment |
| 7 OUT | Power output node | Supplies internal circuitry when VOUT = 3–5.5V; pulled to GND via 50Ω during shutdown |
| 8 GND | Signal and power ground reference | Primary return path for analog and power circuits; connects to EP for thermal conduction |
| 9 BIAS | Linear regulator output | 5V/5mA LDO powers internal logic; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 10 BST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | 0.1µF capacitor between BST and LX enables high-side gate drive; critical for dropout operation |
| 11 SUP | Main supply input for bias regulator | 3.5–28V input; decoupled with 4.7µF capacitor; tied to SUPSW |
| 12 LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky catch diode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout |
| 13 SUPSW | High-side switch supply input | Separate 4.7µF decoupling from SUP improves EMI and transient response |
| 14 EN | Enable control input | 3.3V–42V compatible; logic-high >2.2V enables, logic-low <0.8V shuts down to 9µA |
| 15 RES | Open-drain active-low reset output | Asserts low when VOUT falls below RESETI threshold; requires external pull-up |
| 16 RESETI | Reset threshold programming input | Resistive divider from OUT to GND sets reset point; internal 1.25V reference enables 2.5V–4.8V thresholds |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 42V input transient tolerance | Withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump) without external TVS, reducing BOM cost and board space |
| Adjustable power-good timing | CRES capacitor sets RES deassertion delay post-startup, enabling precise sequencing with downstream MCUs |
| 94% cold-crank duty cycle | Maintains regulation down to 3.5V input by extending on-time, critical for engine start scenarios |
| Internal boost diode | Eliminates external bootstrap diode, simplifying layout and improving reliability in high-vibration environments |
| Less than 10µA shutdown current | Enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in telematics and gateway ECUs with minimal battery drain |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG can withstand?
The MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG tolerates input transients up to 42V, complying with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) requirements. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in most automotive front-end applications, reducing system cost and PCB area. Absolute maximum ratings specify SUP/SUPSW to GND at -0.3V to +45V, confirming robustness beyond typical 28V operation.
How does the MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG achieve 94% duty cycle during cold-crank?
The MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG achieves 94% duty cycle during cold-crank by dynamically extending the high-side switch on-time when input voltage drops near output voltage. This maintains regulation down to 3.5V input while preventing BST capacitor discharge. The device uses an internal counter to detect consecutive on-cycles and forces off-time refresh to sustain gate drive voltage under sustained dropout conditions.
Can the MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG operate with a fixed 5V output without external resistors?
Yes, the MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG supports fixed 5V output by connecting the FB pin directly to the BIAS pin-no external feedback resistors required. This configuration reduces component count and quiescent current by up to 50µA compared to adjustable setups. The output is tightly regulated at 4.95V–5.05V across -40°C to +125°C and full load range.
What is the purpose of the CRES pin on the MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG?
The CRES pin on the MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG sources a precise 10µA current to charge an external capacitor, setting the reset timeout period before RES deasserts after successful startup or recovery from dropout. This capacitor-programmable delay ensures reliable power-good signaling to microcontrollers, preventing premature release from reset during marginal input conditions.
Does the MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the MAX16975BAEE/V+TCG integrates a bootstrap diode, eliminating the need for an external component between BST and SUPSW. This simplifies layout, improves reliability in high-vibration automotive environments, and reduces bill-of-materials cost. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and LX remains mandatory for proper high-side gate drive operation.
