Product details
Overview
MAX20029ATIB/V+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade quad-output PMIC integrating four synchronous step-down DC-DC converters with factory-programmed output voltages of 1.5V, 1.8V, 1.15V, and 1.4V; supports 3.0V–5.5V input, delivers up to 1.5A per channel, and operates at 2.2MHz for compact all-ceramic designs in ADAS domain controllers and infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20029ATIB/V+ datasheet, MAX20029ATIB/V+ pinout, MAX20029ATIB/V+ application, or MAX20029ATIB/V+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-pin TQFN-EP package, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, individual enable/PG outputs, -40°C to +125°C operation, and factory-set 1.15V/1.4V dual low-voltage rails for SoC I/O and core logic sequencing.
Technical Context
The MAX20029ATIB/V+ uses peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation and fixed-frequency PWM at 2.2MHz, enabling stable regulation across load, line, and temperature with ±3% output accuracy. Its hybrid load-line architecture reduces required output capacitance while maintaining fast transient response.
Two buck channels (OUT3/OUT4) operate 180° out-of-phase to minimize input ripple and EMI; all four channels support forced-PWM mode outside the AM band and accept external synchronization via the SYNC pin (1.7–2.5MHz). Input overvoltage protection triggers at 5.8V, and thermal shutdown activates at +185°C with 15°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rail with UVLO at 2.68V and OV threshold at 5.8V. |
| Output Voltages (Factory-Set) | 1.5V, 1.8V, 1.15V, 1.4V - eliminates need for external feedback resistors and ensures ±3% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C. |
| Max Output Current per Channel | 1.5A (CH1–CH4) - enables single-chip power delivery for multi-rail SoC subsystems without external current sharing. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz (±10%) - allows use of small 1.5µH inductors and 2.2µF ceramic input capacitors per rail. |
| Spread Spectrum | +3% frequency deviation - reduces peak radiated emissions without requiring layout changes or added filtering. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +185°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design in under-hood environments. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 and suitable for engine bay and dashboard-mounted ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX20029ATIB/V+ is housed in a 28-pin, 5mm × 5mm × 0.8mm TQFN-EP package with exposed thermal pad (EP = GND), optimized for automotive thermal and EMI requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN1–EN4 | Active-high digital enable inputs | Independent control of each buck converter; pull-down resistance 100kΩ enables simple microcontroller GPIO interfacing. |
| PG1–PG4 | Open-drain power-good outputs | Assert low during soft-start, fault, or undervoltage; require external pull-up ≤ VA for sequenced system reset signaling. |
| LX1–LX4 | Switching node terminals | High-impedance when disabled; connect LX1/LX2 together only on MAX20029B/D variants - not applicable here. |
| OUTS1–OUTS4 | Voltage sense inputs | Direct connection to output capacitor for precision regulation; factory-trimmed reference (1.0V) enables accurate fixed-voltage operation. |
| SYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 1.7–2.5MHz CMOS signal; tie to PGND_ to use internal 2.2MHz oscillator. |
| VA | Analog supply voltage | Must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic cap to GND; powers internal reference and control circuitry independently of PV_ rails. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad synchronous buck converters with integrated FETs | Eliminates 8 external MOSFETs and associated gate drivers, reducing BOM count and board area by >40% vs discrete solutions. |
| 180° phase interleaving on OUT3/OUT4 | Cuts input ripple current amplitude by ~70%, allowing smaller bulk input capacitors and easing EMI filter design. |
| Factory-programmed output voltages | Guarantees 1.15V/1.4V/1.5V/1.8V accuracy without external resistors - critical for noise-sensitive analog and low-voltage logic rails. |
| Individual soft-start and PG timing | 256-cycle PG timeout enables precise power sequencing across multiple voltage domains in complex SoC systems. |
| Integrated current sensing and loop compensation | Removes need for external current-sense resistors and compensation networks, simplifying layout and improving reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-output automotive PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20029ATIF/V+ | Same package and pinout; factory-set outputs at 1.0V/1.8V/ADJ/3.3V instead of 1.5V/1.8V/1.15V/1.4V. | Suitable for designs requiring 3.3V I/O rail and adjustable 1.0V core voltage, but lacks 1.15V/1.4V pairing for modern low-Vdd SoCs. | Select when 3.3V interface supply is mandatory and 1.15V/1.4V rails are not required. |
| TPS65321A-Q1 | Triple-output (not quad); max 2.5A on main rail; no spread-spectrum; 2.1MHz switching; different pinout and enable logic. | Used in simpler safety-critical MCUs (e.g., TMS570), not complex multi-rail SoCs; lacks independent PG per rail and 180° phasing. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, lower-complexity applications where quad output and advanced EMI features are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX20029ATIF/V+, the MAX20029ATIB/V+ offers tighter matching for dual low-voltage SoC domains (1.15V/1.4V), while versus TPS65321A-Q1 it provides higher integration, superior EMI control, and full quad-rail flexibility essential for next-gen automotive processors.

FAQ
What output voltages are factory-programmed in the MAX20029ATIB/V+?
The MAX20029ATIB/V+ has four factory-programmed output voltages: 1.5V (CH1), 1.8V (CH2), 1.15V (CH3), and 1.4V (CH4). These values are laser-trimmed during production and do not require external feedback resistors. The 1.15V and 1.4V outputs are specifically optimized for low-voltage SoC I/O and core logic rails, ensuring ±3% accuracy across -40°C to +125°C.
Does the MAX20029ATIB/V+ support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the MAX20029ATIB/V+ supports external clock synchronization via its dedicated SYNC pin, which accepts input frequencies from 1.7MHz to 2.5MHz. When SYNC is left unconnected or tied to PGND_, the device operates at its internal 2.2MHz switching frequency. This feature enables system-level EMI reduction by aligning switching edges across multiple PMICs or with other clock domains in the vehicle network.
How does the MAX20029ATIB/V+ reduce electromagnetic interference?
The MAX20029ATIB/V+ reduces EMI through three integrated mechanisms: 180° phase interleaving between OUT3 and OUT4 to cancel input ripple, a programmable ±3% spread-spectrum option that smears spectral energy, and forced-PWM operation outside the AM radio band (0.53–1.71MHz). These features collectively lower peak radiated emissions without requiring additional shielding or ferrite beads in compliant automotive designs.
What thermal performance can be expected from the MAX20029ATIB/V+ in a standard 4-layer PCB?
In a JEDEC-standard 4-layer board, the MAX20029ATIB/V+ exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 35°C/W and junction-to-case (θJC) of 3°C/W. With proper layout - including soldering the exposed pad to a large internal ground plane using ≥8 thermal vias - the device sustains continuous 1.5A per channel at +125°C ambient. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm 2285mW maximum power dissipation at TA = +70°C.
Can the MAX20029ATIB/V+ be used in non-automotive industrial applications?
While the MAX20029ATIB/V+ is AEC-Q100 qualified and optimized for automotive (-40°C to +125°C), its electrical specifications - 3.0V–5.5V input, 2.2MHz switching, and robust protection features - make it suitable for industrial applications requiring high reliability and EMI control. However, users must verify that the factory-set 1.15V/1.4V/1.5V/1.8V outputs match their system's rail requirements, as these cannot be adjusted post-manufacture.
