Product details
Overview
The MAX16984AATJB/V+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade, integrated 5V/3.0A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with USB host charger emulator and high-ESD USB protection switches. It operates from 4.5V to 28V (with 40V load-dump tolerance), delivers ±15kV air/±8kV contact ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605, supports USB BC1.2 CDP/DCP modes plus Samsung 2.0A and Apple 2.4A charging profiles, and targets automotive radio, navigation, and telematics USB power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16984AATJB/V+ datasheet, MAX16984AATJB/V+ pinout, MAX16984AATJB/V+ application, or MAX16984AATJB/V+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 32-pin TQFN package, I²C/resistor-programmable switching frequency (310kHz–2.2MHz), integrated cable compensation feedback, dual-role USB data switch (4Ω RON, 1GHz bandwidth), and automotive-grade thermal operation (−40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The MAX16984AATJB/V+ integrates a fully synchronous buck converter with internal high-side (54mΩ typ.) and low-side (72mΩ typ.) MOSFETs, configurable spread-spectrum oscillator for EMI reduction, and SYNC input/output for frequency parking. Its USB interface combines bidirectional 4Ω analog switches (D+/D− ↔ HVD+/HVD−) with integrated BC1.2 port detection, Apple/iPad/iPhone/Samsung charge-mode termination resistors, and ±15kV HVD± ESD protection.
Control architecture includes dual configuration paths: standalone GPIO (CONFIG1–3, DATA_MODE, ENBUCK) and I²C (SCL/SDA) with diagnostics register access. The current-sense amplifier (19.4V/V gain) and SHIELD-input remote feedback loop enable automatic 5V–7V output adjustment to compensate for captive-cable voltage drop in automotive installations.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive USB power delivery applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20419ATPA/V+ | Single 5V/3A buck only; no integrated USB emulator, protection switches, or BC1.2 logic | Requires external USB charger IC (e.g., MAX14637) and ESD array for full USB functionality | Select when USB emulation is handled separately and board space allows multi-chip solution |
| TPS65987DQKT | USB-C PD controller with integrated 5V/3A buck; supports USB-C PD 3.0 but lacks BC1.2/Samsung/Apple legacy charging modes | Designed for USB-C ports; not compatible with legacy USB-A host applications requiring BC1.2 detection | Select for next-gen USB-C automotive ports; avoid for USB-A-only designs needing Apple/Samsung fast charge |
Compared with MAX20419ATPA/V+ and TPS65987DQKT, the MAX16984AATJB/V+ uniquely integrates USB-A host charging emulation, 4Ω Hi-Speed switches, and ±15kV HVD± ESD in one AEC-Q100-qualified package-enabling single-chip USB-A power delivery without sacrificing legacy charging compatibility or automotive robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX16984AATJB/V+ at +105°C?
The MAX16984AATJB/V+ delivers up to 3.0A of continuous output current at +105°C ambient temperature. This rating is validated under standard thermal conditions with proper PCB copper pour and the 32-pin TQFN package's exposed pad thermally connected to multiple GND layers. Derating applies above this temperature per the device's thermal characteristics table.
Does the MAX16984AATJB/V+ support USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality?
Yes, the MAX16984AATJB/V+ is compatible with the USB On-The-Go specification. Its integrated USB 2.0 data switches (DP/DM ↔ HVDP/HVDM) and host charger emulator logic support SDP (Standard Downstream Port) pass-through mode, enabling bidirectional data flow required for OTG operation in automotive host applications.
How does the MAX16984AATJB/V+ implement cable voltage-drop compensation?
The MAX16984AATJB/V+ implements cable voltage-drop compensation using its SHIELD pin as a remote feedback input. When configured, the internal feedback amplifier adjusts the VBUS output from 5V up to 7V based on the SHIELD voltage level, directly compensating for IR drop across long captive USB cables in automotive installations without requiring external DACs or microcontrollers.
What are the ESD protection ratings for the HVD+ and HVD− pins of the MAX16984AATJB/V+?
The HVD+ and HVD− pins of the MAX16984AATJB/V+ are rated for ±15kV air-gap and ±8kV contact discharge per both IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 standards, tested in the typical application circuit used on the MAX16984A evaluation kit. This meets stringent automotive ESD requirements for USB interfaces exposed to human contact.
Can the MAX16984AATJB/V+ operate with a 3.3V logic supply for control signals like ENBUCK and IN?
Yes, the MAX16984AATJB/V+ supports 3.3V logic levels on ENBUCK and IN pins. ENBUCK accepts logic-high thresholds down to 1.6V, and IN is explicitly designed to interface with 3.3V USB transceivers - including clamping protection during overvoltage events on HVD+/HVD−. A 1μF ceramic capacitor must be placed close to the IN pin for stability.
