Product details
Overview
MAX20040BATPB/VY+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade synchronous buck-boost DC-DC converter with integrated H-bridge MOSFETs, delivering up to 1.2A output current across a 2V–36V input range while consuming only 52μA quiescent current in standby mode. It features ±2% output voltage accuracy, 2.2MHz programmable switching frequency, and AEC-Q100 qualification for use in infotainment power rails and start-stop systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20040BATPB/VY+ datasheet, MAX20040BATPB/VY+ pinout, MAX20040BATPB/VY+ application, or MAX20040BATPB/VY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SWTQFN package, 5V fixed/4V–15V adjustable output, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, skip-mode efficiency at light load, and 40V transient tolerance-critical for cold-crank and load-dump robustness in automotive PoL designs.
Technical Context
The MAX20040BATPB/VY+ implements a current-mode, peak-controlled buck-boost topology with dual switching nodes (LX1/LX2) and integrated high-side/low-side FETs forming an H-bridge architecture. Its control loop uses an internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 450–1000μS) with external COMP network compensation, supporting stable operation across buck, boost, and buck-boost regions-including deep-boost conditions down to VIN = 2V after startup.
It integrates a 4.6V linear regulator (VCC) powered initially from IN and later from OUT, enabling extended 2V operation post-startup. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (ILIMIT1 = 1.9–2.5A), overvoltage detection (105.5–110.8% of VOUT), thermal shutdown at 166°C with 18°C hysteresis, and hiccup-mode short-circuit recovery with 26ms autoretry.

Pinout & Package
MAX20040BATPB/VY+ is housed in a 20-pin, 4mm × 4mm side-wettable TQFN (SWTQFN) package with exposed thermal pad (EP). The pinout supports full H-bridge control, feedback regulation, spread-spectrum enable, and power-good monitoring.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Main power input | Accepts 2V–36V; powers internal bias and H-bridge FETs; requires ≥4.7μF ceramic bypass to PGND |
| LX1, LX2 | Switching nodes | LX1 connects to IN–PGND path; LX2 connects to OUT–PGND path; both require low-inductance layout |
| BST1, BST2 | Bootstrap supplies | Each drives high-side gate of respective H-bridge leg; requires 100nF ceramic capacitor to LX1/LX2 |
| FB | Voltage feedback input | Connects to resistive divider for adjustable output (4V–15V) or to VCC for fixed 5V |
| PGOOD | Open-drain status indicator | Asserts when VOUT ≥96% of target; deasserts at ≤93%; requires pull-up to BIAS |
| FSYNC | Mode & sync control | AGND = skip mode; VCC = forced PWM; external clock input supports ±10% frequency sync |
| SPS | Spread-spectrum enable | Pull-high enables ±3% frequency modulation to reduce EMI peaks; disabled during external sync |
| EN | High-voltage enable | 3.3V–40V compatible logic input; enables device after UVLO thresholds are met |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20040DATPB/VY+ | Same 1.2A rating and pinout; differs in output voltage option (adjustable-only, no fixed 5V) | Requires external FB divider for all outputs; not suitable for fixed-5V legacy designs | Select MAX20040DATPB/VY+ only if adjustable output is mandatory and 5V fixed is unused |
| LM61480-Q1 | 1.5A output, 2.1MHz max freq, no integrated H-bridge (external FETs required), no spread spectrum | Higher current but larger solution size; lacks skip-mode IQ optimization and EMI reduction features | Choose LM61480-Q1 only when >1.2A output or different thermal profile is required |
Compared with MAX20040BATPB/VY+, MAX20040DATPB/VY+ removes fixed-5V capability but retains identical packaging and efficiency; LM61480-Q1 offers higher current but increases design complexity with external FETs and lacks integrated EMI mitigation-making MAX20040BATPB/VY+ optimal for compact, low-IQ, EMI-sensitive automotive PoL applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the MAX20040BATPB/VY+?
The MAX20040BATPB/VY+ supports up to 1.2A continuous output current under typical operating conditions (TA = −40°C to +125°C, VIN = 14V). This rating is validated across the full automotive temperature range and accounts for thermal derating on standard four-layer PCBs. Peak current limit is 1.9–2.5A (cycle-by-cycle), enabling robust overload handling without latch-off.
Does the MAX20040BATPB/VY+ support fixed 5V output without external components?
Yes, the MAX20040BATPB/VY+ supports fixed 5V output by connecting the FB pin directly to the VCC pin-no external resistor divider is needed. This configuration leverages an internal precision voltage divider referenced to the 1.25V bandgap, delivering ±2% output accuracy across line, load, and temperature. The part number suffix "BATPB" explicitly denotes the 5V fixed-output variant.
How does the MAX20040BATPB/VY+ achieve low EMI in automotive applications?
The MAX20040BATPB/VY+ reduces EMI through two integrated mechanisms: (1) spread-spectrum frequency modulation (±3% around fSW, enabled via SPS pin), and (2) external clock synchronization (FSYNC pin) to align switching edges with system clocks. Both features suppress narrowband radiated emissions without requiring additional filtering components-critical for meeting CISPR 25 Class 5 limits in infotainment and ADAS modules.
What is the minimum input voltage the MAX20040BATPB/VY+ can regulate from after startup?
After initial startup (requiring VIN > 3.5V and VCC UVLO clearance), the MAX20040BATPB/VY+ operates down to 2V input voltage. This extended range is enabled by powering the internal bias regulator from the OUT pin once VOUT exceeds ~3.2V-leveraging the H-bridge architecture to sustain regulation during deep cold-crank events common in 12V automotive systems.
Is the MAX20040BATPB/VY+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX20039/MAX20040 family?
Yes, all MAX20039/MAX20040 variants-including MAX20040BATPB/VY+, MAX20040DATPB/VY+, and MAX20039BATPA/VY+-share identical 20-pin SWTQFN pinouts and footprint. Functionally, EN, FSYNC, SPS, PGOOD, and FB pins behave identically across variants; differences are limited to output voltage configuration (fixed vs. adjustable) and current rating (0.6A vs. 1.2A), allowing direct substitution in most layouts with firmware or resistor-divider updates.
