Product details
Overview
MAX20040BATPB/VY+T 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 operates over –40°C to +125°C for infotainment power rails and start-stop systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20040BATPB/VY+T datasheet, MAX20040BATPB/VY+T pinout, MAX20040BATPB/VY+T application, or MAX20040BATPB/VY+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-pin SWTQFN package, 5V fixed/4V–15V adjustable output, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, skip-mode efficiency at light load, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive body electronics and PoC systems.
Technical Context
The MAX20040BATPB/VY+T implements a current-mode controlled buck-boost topology using an integrated H-bridge architecture with two high-side and two low-side DMOS FETs (RDS(ON) ≤ 150mΩ). Its control loop uses an internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 450–1000μS) with external COMP network compensation and supports both fixed-frequency PWM and skip-mode operation via FSYNC pin logic.
It integrates a 4.6V linear regulator (VCC) powered from OUT after startup, enabling operation down to 2V IN once biased. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (ILIMIT1 = 1.9–2.5A), thermal shutdown at 166°C with 18°C hysteresis, overvoltage protection (105.5–110.8% VOUT), and PGOOD monitoring with 94–98.3% rising threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 36V after startup; supports cold-crank and load-dump conditions up to 40V transient tolerance. |
| Output Current | Up to 1.2A continuous; enables single-chip PoL supply for automotive infotainment processors. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 200kHz–2.2MHz via resistor on FSW pin; allows compact 1.0μH inductors and low-profile 22μF ceramic output caps. |
| Quiescent Current | 52μA in standby (B/D versions); meets OEM requirements for always-on modules in vehicle sleep modes. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% over temperature and line/load; ensures stable 5V rail for USB-C PD controllers or CAN transceivers. |
| Package | 20-pin SWTQFN (4mm × 4mm); side-wettable leads enable automated optical solder-joint inspection per IPC-A-610. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade -40°C to +125°C ambient; qualified for under-hood and dashboard-mounted ECUs without derating. |
Pinout & Package
MAX20040BATPB/VY+T is housed in a 4mm × 4mm, 20-pin side-wettable TQFN (SWTQFN) package with exposed thermal pad (EP) for enhanced heat dissipation in automotive PCB layouts.
| 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. |
| EN | High-voltage enable | 3.3V–40V logic-compatible; enables/disables regulation with internal pull-down; no external level-shifting needed. |
| LX1 / LX2 | H-bridge switching nodes | Connect to external inductor center-tap; require low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and shoot-through risk. |
| BST1 / BST2 | Bootstrap supplies | Each drives respective high-side gate; requires 100nF ceramic capacitor from BSTx to LXx for proper gate drive. |
| FB | Voltage feedback input | 1.25V reference; connect to VCC for fixed 5V output or resistive divider for 4V–15V adjustment. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good | Asserts when VOUT ≥96% of setpoint; used for system sequencing and fault detection in multi-rail designs. |
| FSYNC | Mode/sync control | Pull to AGND for skip mode; pull to VCC or external clock for forced-PWM; enables EMI optimization. |
| SPS | Spread-spectrum enable | Pull high to modulate fSW ±3%; reduces peak EMI emissions without altering average frequency. |
| COMP | Loop compensation node | External Type II network (RC, CC, CF) sets bandwidth and phase margin; critical for stability in deep-boost mode. |
| OUT_S | Remote output sense | Compensates for IR drop in high-current traces; improves regulation accuracy at point-of-load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated H-Bridge FETs | Eliminates 4 external MOSFETs and drivers; reduces BOM count by ≥8 components and saves >25mm² board area. |
| 200kHz–2.2MHz Programmable fSW | Enables optimal trade-off between size (high fSW) and efficiency (low fSW); avoids AM radio band (530–1710kHz). |
| 52μA Standby Quiescent Current | Extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules; meets ISO 16750-2 "sleep current" limits for Class 3 systems. |
| Spread-Spectrum Modulation | Reduces radiated EMI peaks by up to 10dB; simplifies EMC compliance testing for CISPR 25 Class 5 automotive systems. |
| PGOOD with 3ms Debounce | Prevents false fault triggering during load transients; enables reliable power sequencing with microcontrollers and PMICs. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Auto-Recovery | Shuts down at 166°C junction; restarts after 18°C cooldown; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

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+T | Same silicon, D-grade variant with identical 1.2A rating but higher 2.8A current limit threshold (vs. 1.9–2.5A in B-grade). | Preferred for high-reliability PoC systems requiring tighter current-limit margin under short-circuit stress. | Select MAX20040DATPB/VY+T when design requires higher ILIMIT1 for robust hiccup-mode recovery in safety-critical camera links. |
| LM61480QRNXTQ1 | TI 3.5A buck-only converter; lacks boost capability, no integrated H-bridge, and no 2V startup support. | Suitable only for fixed-battery-rail applications (e.g., 12V→5V) without cold-crank or wide-VIN needs. | Choose LM61480QRNXTQ1 only if input never drops below 3.5V and system does not require buck-boost topology or AEC-Q100 Grade 0. |
Compared with MAX20040DATPB/VY+T, the MAX20040BATPB/VY+T offers lower current-limit threshold for faster fault response in moderate-load systems, while LM61480QRNXTQ1 lacks essential buck-boost functionality and cold-crank support - making MAX20040BATPB/VY+T the sole fit for true automotive wide-input PoL applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for startup of the MAX20040BATPB/VY+T?
The MAX20040BATPB/VY+T requires IN ≥ 3.5V to initiate startup and bias the internal regulator. Once operational, it sustains regulation down to 2V input - critical for cold-crank scenarios in 12V automotive systems. Startup behavior is confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (p.3) and Detailed Description section (p.11) of the datasheet.
Does the MAX20040BATPB/VY+T support adjustable output voltage, and what is the range?
Yes, the MAX20040BATPB/VY+T supports adjustable output from 4.0V to 15.0V using an external resistive divider on the FB pin. When FB is tied to VCC, it defaults to a precise 5.0V fixed output (±2%). This dual-mode flexibility is documented in the General Description (p.2) and Electrical Characteristics (p.4) sections.
How does the MAX20040BATPB/VY+T achieve EMI reduction?
The MAX20040BATPB/VY+T reduces EMI via three methods: (1) spread-spectrum modulation (±3% fSW) enabled by the SPS pin, (2) external frequency synchronization via FSYNC to align switching edges with system clocks, and (3) high 2.2MHz maximum frequency minimizing energy in the AM band. These features are detailed in the Benefits and Features (p.2) and Detailed Description (p.11) sections.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX20040BATPB/VY+T?
The MAX20040BATPB/VY+T integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting (ILIMIT1 = 1.9–2.5A), thermal shutdown at 166°C with 18°C hysteresis, output overvoltage protection (105.5–110.8% VOUT), and hiccup-mode short-circuit recovery with 26ms autoretry. All protections are production-tested and specified in the Electrical Characteristics tables (pp.4–5) and Detailed Description (p.12).
Is the MAX20040BATPB/VY+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX20039/MAX20040 family?
Yes, all MAX20039/MAX20040 variants - including MAX20040BATPB/VY+T, MAX20040DATPB/VY+T, and MAX20039BATPB/VY+T - share identical 20-pin SWTQFN pinouts and footprint. Differences are limited to current rating (0.6A vs. 1.2A), current-limit threshold, and quiescent current behavior - confirmed in the Pin Configurations (p.9) and Ordering Information sections.
