Product details
Overview
MAX20002ATPA/V+W from Maxim Integrated is a 2A, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, operating from 3.5V to 36V input and delivering fixed 5V/3.3V or adjustable 1V–10V output. It features 15µA quiescent current in skip mode, 220kHz–2.2MHz resistor-programmable switching frequency, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20002ATPA/V+W datasheet, MAX20002ATPA/V+W pinout, MAX20002ATPA/V+W application, or MAX20002ATPA/V+W equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade protection features (42V load-dump, -40°C to +125°C), and real-world design trade-offs between forced-PWM and skip-mode operation.
Technical Context
The MAX20002ATPA/V+W implements current-mode control with internal transconductance error amplifier (700µS), 8ms fixed soft-start, and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection. Its dual-supply architecture separates SUP (bias regulator input) and SUPSW (high-side switch supply), enabling stable operation during cold-crank transients down to 3.5V.
It supports three operational modes: skip mode (15µA IQ), forced-PWM (fixed-frequency), and external synchronization via FSYNC pin. Spread-spectrum modulation (±3% around FOSC, 110µs period at 2.2MHz) is enabled by pulling SPS high, reducing EMI without altering regulation accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2A continuous - supports automotive infotainment SoC core rails and ADAS sensor power domains |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - covers full automotive battery range including cold-crank (≤4.5V) and load-dump (≤42V) |
| Quiescent Current | 15µA in skip mode - enables always-on systems (e.g., CAN wake-up receivers) without battery drain |
| Switching Frequency | 220kHz to 2.2MHz (resistor-programmable) - allows optimization of inductor size vs. efficiency (e.g., 2.2MHz → smaller 2.2µH inductor) |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% for fixed 5V/3.3V outputs - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for MCU, FPGA, and interface ICs |
| Thermal Protection | 175°C shutdown with 15°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload in enclosed ECUs |
| PGOOD Threshold | 95% VOUT rising / 92.5% VOUT falling - provides precise power sequencing margin for downstream regulators |
Pinout & Package
MAX20002ATPA/V+W is housed in a 20-pin 5mm × 5mm TQFN package with exposed pad (EP), optimized for thermal dissipation in automotive under-hood environments. The package uses JEDEC MS-013AC outline (21-0140) and requires soldering per JESD22-A113 (260°C reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FOSC | Frequency-setting input | Resistor-to-AGND sets switching frequency; 12kΩ = 2.2MHz - critical for EMI filtering and inductor selection |
| OUT | Power output node | Delivers regulated voltage; also powers internal circuitry when VOUT ≥ 3V in skip mode - eliminates need for separate bias rail |
| FB | Feedback sensing input | Connects to resistive divider (1V reference) or directly to BIAS for fixed 5V/3.3V - determines output setpoint with ±1% FB accuracy |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | External RC compensation network stabilizes loop; required for transient response tuning in automotive load steps |
| BIAS | Internal LDO output | 5V ±5% linear regulator powering analog blocks; bypassed with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor - essential for startup reliability |
| EN | High-voltage enable input | 2.4V threshold, 3.5V–36V compatible - allows direct connection to KL30 or CAN transceiver INH pin without level-shifting |
| SUPSW | High-side switch supply | Separate input for gate driver; bypassed with 0.1µF + 4.7µF ceramics - isolates switching noise from bias supply |
| SUP | Main supply input | Powers internal bias regulator; bypassed with 2.2µF ceramic - decouples input ripple from control circuitry |
| PGOOD | Open-drain status output | Asserts high when VOUT > 95% target; pulled up externally - used for system power sequencing and fault detection |
| SPS | Spread-spectrum control | Logic-high enables ±3% frequency dithering - reduces peak EMI without affecting regulation or efficiency |
| LX (pins 16–18) | Switching node | Three parallel pins reduce trace inductance and thermal resistance - critical for 2A continuous conduction mode |
| PGND (pins 13–14) | Power ground return | Dedicated low-impedance path for high di/dt currents - must be connected to EP and separated from AGND at single point |
| BST | Bootstrap supply | Connected via 0.1µF capacitor to LX - generates gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET; layout-sensitive |
| FSYNC | Sync mode selector | Ground = skip mode; BIAS or external clock = forced-PWM - enables deterministic EMI control in multi-rail systems |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high-/low-side MOSFETs | RON_H = 60–140mΩ / RON_L = 35–70mΩ - eliminates external FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and PCB area |
| 99% maximum duty cycle | Enables operation during undervoltage transients (e.g., cold crank at 4.2V → 3.3V output) without dropout - critical for automotive safety systems |
| AEC-Q100 Grade-1 qualification | -40°C to +125°C ambient operation with 150°C junction limit - certified for engine bay and transmission control units |
| 42V load-dump protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without external TVS - reduces system-level protection component count |
| Fixed 8ms soft-start | Prevents inrush current into large output capacitors (e.g., 44µF ceramic banks) - avoids supply brownout during power-up |
| Overvoltage protection (OVP) | 107% VOUT trip threshold with fast recovery - protects downstream 3.3V/5V logic from transient overshoot during load dump |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current rating for the MAX20002ATPA/V+W?
The MAX20002ATPA/V+W is rated for 2A continuous output current under typical conditions (TA ≤ +70°C, 2-layer board). Derating applies above +70°C (33.3mW/°C), and peak current capability reaches 3.33A before cycle-by-cycle current limit triggers. This rating is validated across the full -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range with proper thermal layout using the exposed pad.
Does the MAX20002ATPA/V+W support adjustable output voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX20002ATPA/V+W supports output voltages from 1V to 10V using an external resistive divider from OUT to FB to AGND, with VFB = 1V ±1% reference. For fixed 5V or 3.3V operation, connect FB directly to BIAS. The feedback network must use RFB2 ≤ 500kΩ; RFB1 is calculated as RFB1 = RFB2 × (VOUT/1V − 1). This configuration is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Figure 2 of the datasheet.
How does the MAX20002ATPA/V+W handle automotive cold-crank conditions?
The MAX20002ATPA/V+W maintains regulation during cold-crank (input down to 3.5V) by operating at up to 99% duty cycle, minimizing dropout. Its dual-supply architecture (SUP and SUPSW) ensures internal bias remains active even when input dips below the output voltage. The device enters high-duty-cycle mode automatically - no external control needed - and resumes normal PWM operation once input recovers, as verified in the "Cold Crank" test waveform (toc20).
What is the purpose of the SPS pin on the MAX20002ATPA/V+W, and how is it used?
SPS (Spread-Spectrum) is a logic-input pin that enables ±3% frequency dithering centered on the programmed FOSC value to reduce EMI peaks. Pulling SPS high activates spread spectrum; pulling low disables it. The modulation period scales with FOSC (e.g., 110µs at 2.2MHz, 550µs at 400kHz). Spread spectrum is automatically disabled when FSYNC is used for external synchronization, as documented in the "Spread-Spectrum Option" section.
Is the MAX20002ATPA/V+W AEC-Q100 qualified, and which grade does it meet?
Yes, the MAX20002ATPA/V+W is AEC-Q100 qualified per Grade 1 requirements, supporting operation from -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This qualification is explicitly stated in the "Benefits and Features" section and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The device meets all stress tests including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per AEC-Q100 Rev H, making it suitable for under-hood and cabin ECU applications.
