Product details
Overview
MAX20006AFOD/VY+ from Maxim Integrated is a 6A, AEC-Q100 qualified automotive synchronous buck converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, 3.5V–36V input range, 25µA no-load quiescent current, 98% max duty cycle, and resistor-programmable switching frequency (220kHz–2.2MHz). It delivers stable 5V or 3.3V fixed output or adjustable 1V–10V output for power management in vehicle infotainment and ADAS modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20006AFOD/VY+ datasheet, MAX20006AFOD/VY+ pinout, MAX20006AFOD/VY+ application, or MAX20006AFOD/VY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6A continuous output capability, -40°C to +125°C operation, 40V load-dump tolerance, spread-spectrum EMI reduction option, and FC2QFN 3.5mm × 3.75mm 17-pin package with integrated BIAS LDO and open-drain RESET output.
Technical Context
This current-mode buck controller integrates 38mΩ high-side and 18mΩ low-side MOSFETs, supports forced-PWM and skip modes, and features cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis, and overvoltage protection with 104–110% rising threshold. Its internal 5V BIAS regulator powers control circuitry and transitions to VOUT post-startup for efficiency.
The device uses dual supply inputs (SUP/SUPSW), enables dropout operation down to 3.5V input, and provides precise ±2% output voltage accuracy via 1.00V ±10mV feedback reference. SYNC pin selects FPWM or skip mode, while FOSC sets frequency with external resistor; RESET asserts when VOUT falls below 91% of nominal and holds for 0.2ms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 6A continuous - supports automotive PoL rails requiring robust transient response and thermal margin. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - accommodates cold-crank (≥3.5V) and load-dump (≤40V tolerant) conditions per ISO 7637-2. |
| Quiescent Current | 25µA in skip mode - enables always-on systems (e.g., telematics) without battery drain. |
| Switching Frequency | 220kHz to 2.2MHz - allows optimization of inductor size, EMI filtering, and efficiency across operating conditions. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2% - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for MCU, sensor, and interface ICs powered from VOUT. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 98% - sustains regulation during deep undervoltage transients (e.g., engine start) with minimal dropout. |
| Package | 17-pin FC2QFN, 3.5mm × 3.75mm - compact footprint with exposed thermal pad for automotive PCB space constraints. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C junction - certified for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX20006AFOD/VY+ is housed in a 3.5mm × 3.75mm, 17-pin FC2QFN package with exposed thermal pad. The package supports high-power density layout and efficient heat dissipation in automotive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Regulated output & internal supply rail | Delivers 6A DC output; also powers internal circuitry when BIAS is inactive or switched over. |
| 2 RESET | Open-drain reset signal | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 91% of setpoint; requires external pull-up for system reset coordination. |
| 3 BST | High-side gate driver bootstrap supply | Connects 0.1µF capacitor to LX; critical for sustaining high-side MOSFET drive during 98% duty cycle operation. |
| 4,5,7,8 PGND | Power ground return path | Four dedicated pins minimize IR drop and improve current sharing for 6A switching loop integrity. |
| 6 LX | Switch node connection | Direct connection to inductor; carries high di/dt current-requires tight layout to reduce EMI and ringing. |
| 9 SUPSW | High-side switch supply input | Bypassed with 0.1µF + 4.7µF ceramics; supplies gate drivers and power stage independently of analog supply. |
| 10 SUP | Analog supply input | Connected directly to SUPSW; powers internal bias regulator and control logic-must be ≥7.5V for safe EN enable. |
| 11 EN | Enable control input | Logic-compatible with 3.5V–36V automotive battery; toggles device between 5µA shutdown and full operation. |
| 12 SYNC | Mode selection & clock sync input | Ground = skip mode; BIAS/external clock = FPWM; enables EMI control and deterministic frequency behavior. |
| 13 BIAS | 5V linear regulator output | Supplies internal circuitry; switches to VOUT post-startup in 5V-fixed versions to reduce power loss. |
| 14 GND | Analog ground reference | Separate from PGND to isolate noise-sensitive feedback and compensation paths from high-current return. |
| 15 COMP | Error amplifier output | Connect RC network to GND for stability; compensates loop dynamics across 220kHz–2.2MHz frequency range. |
| 16 FB | Feedback voltage input | 1.00V ±10mV reference point; connect to BIAS for 5V/3.3V fixed output or resistive divider for 1V–10V adjustment. |
| 17 FOSC | Frequency programming input | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; 73.2kΩ = ~400kHz, 12kΩ = ~2.2MHz-enables design flexibility without changing IC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | 38mΩ high-side + 18mΩ low-side MOSFETs eliminate external FETs and gate drivers-reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Qualified to Grade 0 (-40°C to +150°C junction) - meets automotive reliability standards for safety-critical power rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61460-Q1 | 4.5V–36V input, 6A, 2.1MHz max fSW, 15µA IQ, but lacks spread-spectrum and BIAS switchover; uses different pinout. | Preferred for designs prioritizing ultra-low IQ over EMI reduction; requires separate LDO for bias supply. | Select LM61460-Q1 when minimizing no-load consumption is critical and external EMI filtering is acceptable. |
| TPS546B24A | 4.5V–18V input, 10A, PMBus interface, 1.5MHz fSW, but not AEC-Q100 qualified and limited to 18V VIN. | Suitable for non-automotive industrial or computing applications requiring digital control and higher current. | Choose TPS546B24A only for non-automotive use cases where digital telemetry and >6A output are required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX20006AFOD/VY+?
The MAX20006AFOD/VY+ delivers up to 6A continuous output current under typical thermal conditions (TA ≤ 70°C, four-layer board, 2.2MHz switching). Actual achievable current depends on PCB layout, ambient temperature, and switching frequency-refer to the TJ_RISE vs. IOUT curves in the datasheet for derating guidance.
Does the MAX20006AFOD/VY+ support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the MAX20006AFOD/VY+ supports both fixed 3.3V/5.0V outputs (by connecting FB to BIAS) and adjustable 1V–10V outputs using an external resistive divider from OUT to FB. The feedback reference is precisely 1.00V ±10mV, enabling accurate regulation across the full range.
How does the RESET output function on the MAX20006AFOD/VY+?
The MAX20006AFOD/VY+ features an open-drain RESET output that asserts low when VOUT falls below 91% of its nominal value and deasserts after VOUT rises above 107% with a 0.2ms hold time. An external pull-up resistor is required to generate a logic-high signal for microcontroller reset coordination.
Can the MAX20006AFOD/VY+ operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes, the MAX20006AFOD/VY+ operates down to 3.5V input and supports 98% maximum duty cycle, enabling sustained regulation during cold-crank transients. Its dual SUP/SUPSW inputs and internal BIAS LDO ensure stable startup and control even when input dips below the output voltage.
Is spread-spectrum switching enabled by default on the MAX20006AFOD/VY+?
No, spread-spectrum switching is a factory-programmed option-not enabled by default. The MAX20006AFOD/VY+ variant must be ordered with the spread-spectrum feature (e.g., MAX20006AFOD/VY+T) to activate ±3% frequency modulation; standard parts operate at fixed fOSC.
