Product details
Overview
MAX20003DATPA/VY+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3A synchronous buck 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 achieves 15µA quiescent current in skip mode, supports 220kHz–2.2MHz resistor-programmable switching frequency, and features PGOOD monitoring and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20003DATPA/VY+ datasheet, MAX20003DATPA/VY+ pinout, MAX20003DATPA/VY+ application, or MAX20003DATPA/VY+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade operating parameters (−40°C to +125°C, 42V load-dump tolerance), and real-world alternative selection guidance - all grounded in Maxim's official documentation and electrical characteristics table.
Technical Context
The MAX20003DATPA/VY+ 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 two distinct operating modes: forced PWM (via FSYNC tied to BIAS or external clock) and skip mode (FSYNC tied to AGND), with spread-spectrum modulation (±3% frequency dither, 110µs period at 2.2MHz) enabled via SPS pin. Thermal shutdown activates at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis, and overvoltage protection triggers at 107% VFB rising edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3A continuous - supports automotive infotainment and ADAS subsystems requiring robust point-of-load regulation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - accommodates full automotive battery range including cold-crank (down to 3.5V) and load-dump (up to 42V). |
| Quiescent Current | 15µA in skip mode - enables always-on systems (e.g., telematics, body control modules) without draining battery. |
| Switching Frequency | 220kHz to 2.2MHz, resistor-programmable - allows optimization of inductor size, EMI profile, and efficiency across light-to-full load. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% for fixed 5V/3.3V outputs; ±1% FB reference (0.99V–1.01V) for adjustable configurations - ensures reliable MCU and sensor rail compliance. |
| Protection Features | 42V load-dump tolerance, 99% max duty cycle, thermal shutdown (175°C), OVP (107% VFB), and cycle-by-cycle current limit - meets ISO 7637-2 and AEC-Q100 stress requirements. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and cabin-mounted applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX20003DATPA/VY+ is housed in a 20-pin 5mm × 5mm TQFN package with exposed pad (EP), outline number 21-0140, land pattern 90-0009. Thermal resistance θJA = 30°C/W (four-layer board), θJC = 2°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FOSC | Frequency-setting input | Resistor-to-AGND sets switching frequency (220kHz–2.2MHz); determines inductor/capacitor sizing and EMI behavior. |
| OUT | Power output node | Delivers regulated DC output; powers internal circuitry when VOUT ≥ 3V in skip mode after BIAS switchover. |
| FB | Feedback sensing input | Connects to resistive divider for adjustable output (1V–10V) or to BIAS for fixed 5V/3.3V; ±1% reference accuracy enables tight regulation. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | External RC compensation network stabilizes current-mode loop; critical for transient response and phase margin in automotive loads. |
| BIAS | Internal LDO output | 5V ±0.3V linear regulator powering internal logic; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic bypass to AGND for noise immunity. |
| EN | High-voltage enable input | Logic-compatible with 3.5V–36V inputs (e.g., KL30, CAN transceiver INH); 2.4V threshold enables direct battery monitoring. |
| SUPSW | High-side switch supply | Dedicated input for gate driver; decoupled with 0.1µF + 4.7µF ceramics to PGND to sustain 3A switching under transients. |
| SUP | Main supply input | Powers internal bias regulator; bypassed with 2.2µF ceramic to PGND; supports wide VIN range without external LDO. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good signal | Asserts high when VOUT > 95% regulation; deasserts at <92.5%; used for sequencing microcontrollers and safety-critical subsystems. |
| SPS | Spread-spectrum control | Logic-high enables ±3% triangular dither on fSW; reduces peak EMI amplitude for CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance. |
| FSYNC | Mode selection & sync input | Tied to AGND → skip mode; tied to BIAS/external clock → forced PWM; synchronizes to external clocks within ±20% frequency deviation. |
| LX (pins 16–18) | Switching node | Three parallel pins reduce parasitic inductance; connects to inductor; requires low-ESR BST capacitor (0.1µF) between LX and BST. |
| PGND (pins 13–14) | Power ground return | Separate from AGND; must be connected to large copper pour under EP; handles high di/dt currents from LX switching. |
| AGND (pin 6) | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, COMP, EN, FOSC; must be star-connected to PGND only at single point near EP to avoid noise coupling. |
| BST (pin 15) | Bootstrap supply | Supplies high-side gate driver; capacitor between BST and LX provides floating voltage for N-channel MOSFET drive. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Mandatory connection to PGND plane; primary thermal path; contributes to θJA = 30°C/W; not a functional ground reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous buck with integrated FETs | Eliminates external MOSFETs and drivers; RDS(on) = 60mΩ (high-side) / 35mΩ (low-side) minimizes conduction loss at 3A. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 15µA in skip mode enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., keyless entry, remote diagnostics). |
| Automotive-grade protection suite | 42V load-dump tolerance, −40°C to +125°C operation, AEC-Q100 qualification, and fast OVP recovery ensure reliability in harsh environments. |
| Flexible output configuration | Fixed 5V/3.3V or resistor-adjustable 1V–10V output with ±1% FB accuracy supports diverse SoC, MCU, and sensor rail requirements. |
| EMI-optimized operation | Programmable frequency + spread spectrum + forced PWM mode allows system-level EMI tuning to meet CISPR 25 limits without shielding. |

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 | 3.8V–36V input, 4A output, 15µA IQ, fixed 5V/3.3V or adjustable 1V–10V; no spread spectrum; uses different pinout (no dedicated SPS pin). | Targets industrial and telecom; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and 42V load-dump rating; optimized for higher current density rather than automotive transients. | Select LM61480RQR only if AEC-Q100 and load-dump immunity are not required, and PCB layout allows rework for non-pin-compatible footprint. |
| TPS62933RQNR | 3V–36V input, 3A output, 12µA IQ, 1.8V–10V adjustable output only (no fixed 5V/3.3V option); includes PMBus interface; smaller 3mm × 4mm QFN. | Designed for programmable power management in servers and test equipment; lacks PGOOD open-drain structure and automotive temperature range. | Choose TPS62933RQNR when digital control and telemetry are needed, but verify that −40°C to +125°C operation and 42V surge tolerance are handled externally. |
Compared with LM61480RQR and TPS62933RQNR, MAX20003DATPA/VY+ uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 42V load-dump tolerance, integrated spread-spectrum control, and fixed 5V/3.3V outputs - making it the only drop-in solution for automotive front-end power without external protection or sequencing logic.

How does the MAX20003DATPA/VY+ handle cold-crank conditions in automotive applications?
The MAX20003DATPA/VY+ maintains regulation during cold-crank (as low as 3.5V input) by operating at up to 99% duty cycle. Its dual-supply architecture (SUP and SUPSW) and internal bias switchover ensure stable startup and continuous operation even when input voltage drops below the output voltage target.
What is the purpose of the SPS pin on the MAX20003DATPA/VY+?
The SPS (Spread Spectrum) pin on the MAX20003DATPA/VY+ enables or disables ±3% triangular frequency dither centered on the programmed fSW. When pulled high, it reduces peak EMI emissions to help meet CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements - a critical feature for automotive infotainment and ADAS systems.
