Product details
Overview
The MAX16984RAGI/VY+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade integrated step-down DC-DC converter (5V/2.5A), USB host charger emulator, and dual-channel USB 2.0 protection switch with ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection on HVD+/HVD−. It supports USB BC1.2 CDP/DCP modes, YD/T 1591-2009, and dedicated iPod/iPhone (1.0A) and iPad (2.1A) charging detection. It operates from 4.5V to 28V input (42V load dump tolerant) and delivers regulated 5V output for automotive infotainment USB ports.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16984RAGI/VY+ datasheet, MAX16984RAGI/VY+ pinout, MAX16984RAGI/VY+ application, or MAX16984RAGI/VY+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated USB charge emulation logic, resistor-programmable switching frequency (220kHz–2.2MHz), cable-drop compensation via analog feedback adjustment (±25% VOUT range), robust short-to-battery protection on both DC-DC and USB pins, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood environments.
Technical Context
The MAX16984RAGI/VY+ integrates three functional blocks: a synchronous buck converter with internal high-side n-channel MOSFET (RONH = 200–450 mΩ) and low-side switch, a USB 2.0 analog data switch (4Ω RON, 400MHz bandwidth), and a multi-mode charger detection engine supporting BC1.2, YD/T 1591, and proprietary Apple protocols. Its feedback loop uses SENSP as both output voltage sense and current-sense positive input, enabling coordinated voltage regulation and current limiting.
It implements dual protection architectures: overvoltage detection on SENSN, HVD+, and HVD− with programmable blanking (3–30ms), and fault reporting via active-low open-drain FAULT pin. The device supports forced-PWM (via SYNC) and skip mode (SYNC grounded), and includes spread-spectrum operation (6.5% modulation) in the MAX16984S variant-though the RAGI/VY+ suffix indicates standard version without spread spectrum.

Pinout & Package
MAX16984RAGI/VY+ is packaged in a 28-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN-CU with side-wettable flanks (QFND), optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and thermal performance (θJA = 29°C/W). Exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a large contiguous ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FAULT | Active-low fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during overvoltage, overcurrent, or thermal shutdown; requires external 100kΩ pullup to IN |
| SYNC | Frequency synchronization input | Enables forced-PWM when driven high; enables skip mode when grounded or floating |
| FOSC | Frequency programming node | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency (e.g., 68kΩ → 440kHz; 12kΩ → 2.2MHz) |
| CD0/CD1 | Charger detection configuration | Binary inputs selecting BC1.2 CDP, DCP, or Apple-specific iPhone/iPad modes |
| HVD+/HVD− | High-voltage protected USB outputs | Direct connection to USB connector pins; integrate ESD clamps and short-to-battery protection |
| SENSP/SENSN | Current-sense and feedback inputs | SENSEP connects to output rail and current-sense resistor high side; SENSN to low side - enables combined voltage regulation and current limiting |
| ENBUCK | Buck converter enable | Logic-level input (2.4V threshold) enabling/disabling DC-DC stage independently of USB functions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated USB charge emulation | Eliminates need for discrete BC1.2 controller IC and Apple protocol resistors - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| User-adjustable USB output voltage | Compensates for up to 1.15V IR drop across captive cables using analog feedback scaling (0–25% gain boost) |
| Dual USB data path protection | 4Ω RON switches with <50ps skew and −14dB crosstalk at 480MHz preserve USB 2.0 signal integrity |
| Robust fault management | Independent overvoltage detection on HVD+, HVD−, and SENSN with configurable blanking and FAULT assertion |
| Automotive-ready thermal design | Thermal shutdown at +174°C with 30°C hysteresis; side-wettable QFND package supports IPC-A-610 Class 3 solder joint inspection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive USB power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20029ATG/V+ (Analog Devices) | Single-channel 5V/3A buck only; no USB detection or protection switches | Requires external USB charge emulator and ESD protection ICs | Select when USB functionality is handled separately and higher current (3A) is needed |
| TPS65987D (Texas Instruments) | USB-C PD controller with integrated 5V/3A buck; supports USB PD 3.0, not BC1.2 or Apple legacy modes | Designed for USB-C ports, lacks HVD+/HVD− analog switch architecture | Select for next-gen USB-C automotive interfaces requiring programmable power delivery |
Compared with MAX20029ATG/V+ and TPS65987D, the MAX16984RAGI/VY+ uniquely combines BC1.2/YD/T 1591/Apple detection, 4Ω USB 2.0 switches, and 5V/2.5A buck in one AEC-Q100 package - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, legacy USB-A automotive host ports requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of the MAX16984RAGI/VY+ at 105°C ambient temperature?
The MAX16984RAGI/VY+ delivers up to 2.1A of continuous output current at +105°C ambient temperature, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Converter Output Current." This rating accounts for thermal derating in high-temperature automotive environments and assumes proper PCB copper area and airflow per the thermal design guidelines in the datasheet.
Does the MAX16984RAGI/VY+ support USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality?
Yes, the MAX16984RAGI/VY+ is explicitly stated to be compatible with the USB On-The-Go Specification. Its integrated USB 2.0 analog switches (D+/D− to HVD+/HVD−) and bidirectional data path support OTG negotiation, enabling the host system to act as either a host or peripheral depending on VBUS detection and ID pin signaling implemented externally.
How does the MAX16984RAGI/VY+ implement cable-drop compensation for USB charging?
The MAX16984RAGI/VY+ implements cable-drop compensation using its analog feedback adjustment circuit: SENSP serves as the main output voltage sense point, while FBPER and FBMAX configure a transconductance amplifier that injects adjustable gain (0.535–1.069 V/V) into the feedback loop. This raises the effective output voltage up to 6.15V to offset IR losses in long captive cables, ensuring ≥5V reaches the connected device.
What protection features does the MAX16984RAGI/VY+ provide against short-to-battery faults?
The MAX16984RAGI/VY+ provides short-to-battery protection on both the DC-DC converter (SUPSW and LX pins) and USB interface (HVD+ and HVD− pins). Each protected node includes dedicated overvoltage comparators with blanking timers (e.g., 18–30ms for HVD±), and fault conditions assert the open-drain FAULT pin. Internal clamps limit voltage stress and prevent latch-up during sustained 12V/24V shorts.
Is the MAX16984RAGI/VY+ pin-compatible with other variants in the MAX16984 family, such as MAX16984SACIL?
No, the MAX16984RAGI/VY+ is not pin-compatible with the MAX16984SACIL. While both share identical pinout and package (28-pin TQFN-CU/QFND), the MAX16984SACIL integrates a spread-spectrum oscillator for EMI reduction - a feature absent in the MAX16984RAGI/VY+. Functionally identical operation is maintained, but EMI-sensitive designs requiring spread spectrum must use the 'S' variant.
