Product details
Overview
MAX20029BATIC/V+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade quad-output power-management IC (PMIC) integrating four synchronous step-down DC-DC converters with factory-programmed output voltages of 1.1V, -, 1.8V, and 1.0V. It delivers up to 3A on Channel 1 (via combined LX1/LX2), 1.5A on Channels 3 and 4, operates from 3.0V–5.5V input, and features 2.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation for compact all-ceramic designs. It is used in automotive ADAS domain controllers requiring tightly regulated, low-noise multi-rail power.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20029BATIC/V+ datasheet, MAX20029BATIC/V+ pinout, MAX20029BATIC/V+ application, or MAX20029BATIC/V+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3A + dual-1.5A channel configuration, -40°C to +125°C AEC-Q100–compatible operation, spread-spectrum EMI reduction (disabled in this variant), and 28-pin TQFN-EP package with exposed thermal pad for high-power-density automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX20029BATIC/V+ uses peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation and loop compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its hybrid load-line architecture reduces required output capacitance while maintaining fast load-transient response (±3.5% deviation under 1A step).
It implements input overvoltage protection (trip at 5.8V), undervoltage lockout (2.77V falling), cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and thermal shutdown at +185°C with 15°C hysteresis. The SYNC input supports external clock synchronization (1.7–2.5MHz), and PG_ outputs provide programmable timeout (256 cycles) with ±6% OV/±6% UV detection windows.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rail with transient tolerance |
| Output Configuration | 1×3A (CH1 via LX1+LX2), 2×1.5A (CH3, CH4) - enables high-current core rail + dual peripheral rails |
| Fixed Output Voltages | 1.1V (CH1), - (CH2 disabled), 1.8V (CH3), 1.0V (CH4) - factory-trimmed for ±3% accuracy without external resistors |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz ±10% - enables use of small 1.0µH/1.5µH inductors and all-ceramic output capacitors |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 35°C/W, θJC = 3°C/W - requires exposed pad soldered to GND plane for >2W continuous dissipation |

Pinout & Package
MAX20029BATIC/V+ is housed in a 28-pin, 5mm × 5mm × 0.8mm TQFN-EP package with exposed thermal pad (EP = GND). The package supports high thermal conductivity when mounted on a 4-layer PCB with thermal vias to inner ground planes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13, 21, 27 | EN1, EN3, EN4, PG1 | Active-high enable inputs and open-drain power-good outputs - support independent sequencing and fault reporting per enabled rail |
| 2, 7, 15, 20 | PV1, PV2, PV3, PV4 | Independent input voltage pins - allow separate input filtering and noise isolation for each buck stage |
| 3, 6, 16, 19 | LX1, LX2, LX3, LX4 | Switching node terminals - LX1 and LX2 are internally paralleled for 3A CH1; others drive individual 1.5A channels |
| 4, 5, 17, 18, 11, 24 | PGND1–PGND4, GND, GND | Dedicated power grounds per channel plus analog ground - minimizes ground bounce and improves PSRR |
| 8, 14, 22, 28 | OUTS2, OUTS3, OUTS4, OUTS1 | Voltage sense inputs - connected directly to output capacitors for accurate regulation; unused for factory-fixed outputs |
| 25 | SYNC | External clock synchronization input - disabled by grounding; accepts 1.7–2.5MHz clocks to eliminate beat frequencies |
| 26 | VA | Analog supply pin - powers internal reference and control logic; must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad synchronous buck topology | Four integrated high-/low-side MOSFETs eliminate discrete FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Factory-programmed outputs | Eliminates need for precision feedback resistors - saves cost and board space while ensuring ±3% output accuracy across temperature |
| 180° phase interleaving (CH3/CH4) | Reduces input ripple current by ~70%, allowing smaller input capacitors and lowering EMI filter complexity |
| Individual soft-start and PG timing | Configurable 256-cycle PG timeout prevents false resets during startup; soft-start limits inrush current to protect upstream supplies |
| Integrated current sensing | Enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting without external sense resistors - improves efficiency and reduces thermal footprint |
| Exposed thermal pad (EP) | Provides <3°C/W junction-to-case thermal path - enables stable 2.2W operation at +70°C ambient with proper PCB copper design |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-buck PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20029BATIE/V+ | Same package and pinout; factory-set outputs: 1.5V/-/1.8V/3.3V; spread-spectrum enabled | Better suited for mixed-signal systems needing 3.3V I/O and EMI-sensitive RF sections | Select when 3.3V rail and mandatory spread-spectrum are required; otherwise MAX20029BATIC/V+ offers tighter 1.0V/1.1V/1.8V match for modern SoCs |
| TPS659424RGER | 6-channel PMIC; 3A/2A/2A/1.5A/1.5A/1.5A; 2.7–5.5V input; 1.8V/1.0V/1.1V outputs available but not identical mapping | Higher channel count and integrated LDOs; requires different sequencing logic and layout | Choose for systems needing >4 rails or integrated always-on LDOs; MAX20029BATIC/V+ provides simpler, lower-cost solution for exact 3-rail needs |
Compared with MAX20029BATIE/V+, MAX20029BATIC/V+ trades spread-spectrum EMI reduction for precise 1.0V/1.1V/1.8V rail alignment critical for latest automotive processors; versus TPS659424RGER, it offers lower BOM cost and smaller footprint for applications strictly requiring three well-regulated rails without LDOs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of MAX20029BATIC/V+?
MAX20029BATIC/V+ delivers up to 3A on Channel 1 (achieved by paralleling LX1 and LX2), 1.5A on Channel 3, and 1.5A on Channel 4. Channel 2 is disabled in this variant. All channels maintain ±3% output voltage accuracy across -40°C to +125°C and full load range, verified per datasheet Electrical Characteristics table.
Does MAX20029BATIC/V+ support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, MAX20029BATIC/V+ includes a dedicated SYNC pin (Pin 25) that accepts external clock signals from 1.7MHz to 2.5MHz. When not used, SYNC must be tied to PGND_ to retain the default 2.2MHz internal oscillator frequency. This feature allows elimination of switching frequency beat notes in multi-PMIC systems.
How is output voltage set on MAX20029BATIC/V+?
MAX20029BATIC/V+ uses factory-programmed output voltages: 1.1V (CH1), disabled (CH2), 1.8V (CH3), and 1.0V (CH4). No external resistors are needed - the internal reference and trim bits ensure ±3% accuracy across temperature and load. OUTS pins are internally connected; external feedback is unnecessary and not supported in this variant.
What thermal design considerations apply to MAX20029BATIC/V+?
MAX20029BATIC/V+ requires the exposed thermal pad (EP) to be soldered to a solid GND plane with ≥6 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) connecting to inner ground layers. With this layout, it sustains 2.2W dissipation at +70°C ambient (θJA = 35°C/W). Failure to implement proper thermal land results in junction temperatures exceeding +150°C under full load.
Which protection features are active on MAX20029BATIC/V+?
MAX20029BATIC/V+ integrates input overvoltage protection (trip at 5.8V), input undervoltage lockout (2.77V falling), cycle-by-cycle current limiting on all active channels, and thermal shutdown at +185°C with 15°C hysteresis. All protections are fully functional without external components and operate across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range.
