Product details
Overview
MAX20028BATJA/VY+ from Analog Devices is a 3-channel automotive-grade PMIC integrating one high-voltage synchronous step-down controller (OUT1) and two cascaded low-voltage synchronous step-down converters (OUT2/OUT3), operating at up to 2.1MHz. It delivers 3A per low-voltage channel, supports 3.5V–36V input, consumes only 30µA quiescent current, and is AEC-Q100 qualified for ADAS power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20028BATJA/VY+ datasheet, MAX20028BATJA/VY+ pinout, MAX20028BATJA/VY+ application, or MAX20028BATJA/VY+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its side-wettable 32-pin TQFN-EP package, individual enable/reset per channel, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, SYNC I/O flexibility, and ±1% FB accuracy meeting ASIL-B timing-critical requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX20028BATJA/VY+ implements a current-mode PWM architecture with forced-PWM and skip modes, enabling stable regulation across wide load transients while minimizing light-load power loss. Its OUT1 controller features internal slope compensation, integrated transconductance error amplifier (gMEA = 300–1200µS), and programmable soft-start (4ms).
OUT2 and OUT3 operate synchronously at 2.1MHz with 180° phase shift, share PV2/PV3 inputs tied to OUT1, and use integrated FETs with RDS(ON) < 110mΩ (high-side) and < 90mΩ (low-side). All three channels feature independent enable inputs, open-drain RESET outputs with programmable timeout (0.1–7.8ms), and overtemperature warning (ERR at +150°C) plus shutdown (+170°C).

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSUP | Main HV supply input | Accepts 3.5V–36V battery rail; bypassed with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor - primary path for transient energy absorption. |
| EN1, EN2, EN3 | Independent digital enable inputs | Active-high, 1.6–2.0V threshold; each controls startup sequencing of respective buck channel - enables flexible power-up order for SoC subsystems. |
| OUT1, OUT2, OUT3 | Output voltage sense / negative current-sense nodes | Direct connection to converter outputs; used for feedback regulation and current sensing - eliminates need for external sense resistors on low-side path. |
| RESET1, RESET2, RESET3 | Open-drain reset status outputs | Assert low when corresponding output drops >6% below nominal; timeout programmable (0.1–7.8ms) - provides deterministic power-good signaling for microcontrollers. |
| SYNC | Configurable synchronization I/O | Factory-programmable as input (1.7–2.4MHz external clock sync) or output (2.1MHz internal clock) - reduces system-level EMI by aligning switching edges across multiple rails. |
| SSEN | Spread-spectrum enable | Logic-high (BIAS) activates ±6% frequency dithering at 4kHz rate - suppresses narrowband radiated emissions without altering loop stability. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX20028BATJA/VY+ can withstand during load-dump events?
The MAX20028BATJA/VY+ is protected against load-dump transients up to 42V on the VSUP pin, exceeding ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements. This allows direct connection to 12V/24V vehicle batteries without external TVS clamping in most automotive architectures. The device maintains regulation and does not latch up during such events, ensuring uninterrupted operation of downstream ADAS sensors.
Does the MAX20028BATJA/VY+ support external synchronization of all three channels simultaneously?
Yes - when configured as a SYNC input, the MAX20028BATJA/VY+ synchronizes OUT1, OUT2, and OUT3 to an external clock source within 1.7MHz–2.4MHz. When configured as a SYNC output, it drives all three channels with its internally generated 2.1MHz clock. This ensures deterministic phase alignment critical for EMI reduction in multi-rail ADAS systems.
How does the MAX20028BATJA/VY+ handle prebiased outputs during startup?
The MAX20028BATJA/VY+ variant (BATJ_) disables prebias output protection. If OUT1 is prebiased above 1.25V, the device will not initiate soft-start until the prebias is removed and OUT1 self-discharges to GND. This behavior prevents reverse current flow and ensures controlled ramp-up even when downstream capacitors retain charge from prior operation.
Can the MAX20028BATJA/VY+ operate with different output voltages on OUT2 and OUT3?
Yes - OUT2 and OUT3 support independent voltage programming via external resistor dividers connected to their respective OUT2/OUT3 pins. Each can be set from 0.8V to 3.95V, enabling asymmetric rail generation (e.g., 1.1V core + 1.8V I/O) without requiring additional regulators. Factory-trimmed versions also offer fixed 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.8V, and 3.3V options.
What thermal metrics define the MAX20028BATJA/VY+'s reliability in under-hood applications?
The MAX20028BATJA/VY+ has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 29°C/W and junction-to-case (θJC) of 1.7°C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC board. With thermal shutdown at +170°C and hysteresis of 15°C, it sustains continuous operation at +125°C ambient when properly heatsinked via the exposed pad. Its AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification confirms suitability for under-hood deployment.
