Product details
Overview
MAX20002EATPB/VY+ from Maxim Integrated is a 2A synchronous buck converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, operating from 3.5V to 36V input, delivering fixed 5V/3.3V or adjustable 1V–10V output, featuring 15µA quiescent current in skip mode and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20002EATPB/VY+ datasheet, MAX20002EATPB/VY+ pinout, MAX20002EATPB/VY+ application, or MAX20002EATPB/VY+ 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 MAX20002EATPB/VY+ implements current-mode control with internal transconductance error amplifier (700µS), resistor-programmable oscillator (220kHz–2.2MHz via FOSC pin), and dual-supply architecture (SUP/SUPSW) enabling robust cold-crank operation down to 3.5V input while maintaining 98% maximum duty cycle.
It integrates a 5V BIAS linear regulator (±2% accuracy, 4.7–5.4V), open-drain PGOOD with 92.5–95% regulation window, spread-spectrum enable (±3% frequency modulation), and overvoltage protection triggered at 107% FB voltage - all qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2A continuous - supports automotive point-of-load rails without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - covers full automotive battery range including cold-crank (≥3.5V) and load-dump (≤42V transient). |
| Quiescent Current | 15µA in skip mode - enables always-on systems (e.g., CAN wake-up circuits) with minimal battery drain. |
| Switching Frequency | 220kHz to 2.2MHz (resistor-programmable) - allows optimization of inductor size vs. EMI vs. efficiency. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% for fixed 5V/3.3V outputs - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for MCU, sensor, and infotainment subsystems. |
| Thermal Protection | 175°C shutdown with 15°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| PGOOD Threshold | 95% rising / 92.5% falling VFB - provides precise power-rail sequencing margin for downstream processors. |
Pinout & Package
MAX20002EATPB/VY+ uses a 20-pin 5mm × 5mm TQFN package with exposed pad (EP), RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 30°C/W on 4-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FOSC | Frequency-setting input | Connect resistor to AGND to set switching frequency from 220kHz to 2.2MHz - direct control of EMI profile and magnetics sizing. |
| OUT | Power output node | Delivers regulated DC output; powers internal circuitry when VOUT ≥ 3V in skip mode - eliminates need for separate bias supply. |
| FB | Feedback reference input | Accepts resistive divider (1V reference) for 1V–10V adjustment or connects directly to BIAS for fixed 5V/3.3V - ±1% FB accuracy enables tight output tolerance. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | External RC compensation network interface - stabilizes current-mode loop across line/load/temp variations. |
| BIAS | Integrated 5V LDO output | Powers internal analog blocks; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic bypass - decouples noise-sensitive control circuitry from switching node. |
| EN | High-voltage enable input | Logic-compatible with 3.5V–36V supply rails; 2.4V threshold enables direct connection to KL30 or CAN transceiver INH - simplifies system-level power sequencing. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain status output | Asserts high when VOUT > 95% regulation; sinks 5mA max - drives microcontroller reset or power-good interrupt with built-in debounce (25µs). |
| SPS | Spread-spectrum control | Pull high to enable ±3% triangular frequency modulation - reduces peak EMI by spreading energy across spectrum without altering average fSW. |
| LX (pins 16–18) | Switching node | Drives external inductor; three parallel pins reduce current density and parasitic inductance - critical for high-efficiency 2A operation at 2.2MHz. |
| PGND (pins 13–14) | Power ground return | Dedicated low-impedance path for high di/dt currents - separates noisy power return from sensitive analog ground (AGND) to prevent coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous buck with integrated FETs | Eliminates external MOSFETs and gate drivers - reduces BOM count, layout area, and thermal complexity for space-constrained automotive modules. |
| 98% maximum duty cycle | Enables operation during undervoltage transients (e.g., cold crank) with minimal dropout - maintains 5V rail stability even as input drops to ~5.1V (for 5V output). |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets automotive electronics reliability requirements for engine bay and infotainment applications. |
| 42V load-dump protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transients without latch-up or damage - removes need for external TVS clamping in front-end power stages. |
| Fixed 8ms soft-start | Prevents inrush current into bulk output capacitance - avoids tripping upstream fuses or causing supply sag in multi-rail systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480RQR | 3.5V–36V input, 4A output, 14µA IQ, but no integrated spread-spectrum or AEC-Q100 qualification. | Targets industrial PoL where automotive qualification is not required; lacks PGOOD accuracy spec (±5% vs. ±2.5% for MAX20002EATPB/VY+). | Select LM61480RQR only if higher current headroom and lower IQ are prioritized over automotive compliance and EMI control. |
| TPS54240DGQR | 3.5V–42V input, 2A output, 110µA IQ, no integrated FETs (external MOSFETs required), no AEC-Q100. | Suitable for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs; requires external high-side/low-side FETs and gate drivers - increases layout complexity and BOM count. | Choose TPS54240DGQR only when budget constraints outweigh integration benefits and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
Compared with LM61480RQR and TPS54240DGQR, MAX20002EATPB/VY+ uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1, integrated spread-spectrum, 15µA skip-mode IQ, and 5mm×5mm TQFN packaging - making it the only drop-in solution for space-constrained, EMC-sensitive automotive subsystems requiring guaranteed qualification and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the MAX20002EATPB/VY+?
The MAX20002EATPB/VY+ supports up to 98% maximum duty cycle (typical), enabling operation during automotive cold-crank events where input voltage drops near the output level. This capability is implemented via cycle-by-cycle off-time monitoring and forced low-side conduction, allowing the device to sustain regulated output even when VSUP approaches VOUT + (ILX × RON_H).
Does the MAX20002EATPB/VY+ require external MOSFETs?
No, the MAX20002EATPB/VY+ integrates both high-side and low-side MOSFETs internally - eliminating the need for external switches, gate drivers, or associated passive components. Its 60mΩ high-side and 35mΩ low-side RDS(on) (typ) are specified at VBIAS = 5V and ILX = 0.5A, enabling efficient 2A operation in the 5mm × 5mm TQFN package.
How does the PGOOD output of the MAX20002EATPB/VY+ behave during startup and fault conditions?
The MAX20002EATPB/VY+ PGOOD output asserts high when VOUT rises above 95% of its regulation voltage and deasserts low when VOUT falls below 92.5%. It features 25µs internal debounce and open-drain structure, requiring an external pull-up to BIAS or VOUT. During startup, PGOOD remains low until soft-start completes (~8ms) and regulation is achieved.
Can the MAX20002EATPB/VY+ be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the MAX20002EATPB/VY+ supports external synchronization via the FSYNC pin. When driven with a logic-level clock signal (1.8–2.6MHz for 2.2MHz internal setting), the device locks to the external source within two cycles. FSYNC must not be left floating; tie to AGND for skip mode or to BIAS/external clock for forced-PWM operation.
Is the MAX20002EATPB/VY+ qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MAX20002EATPB/VY+ is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (-40°C to +125°C ambient), includes 42V load-dump protection, operates from 3.5V to 36V input, and features thermal shutdown (175°C) with hysteresis - meeting core requirements for automotive power conversion in infotainment, ADAS, and body electronics.
