Product details
Overview
MAX20040DATPA/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 infotainment and body electronics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20040DATPA/VY+ datasheet, MAX20040DATPA/VY+ pinout, MAX20040DATPA/VY+ application, or MAX20040DATPA/VY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include cold-crank operation down to 2V post-startup, 40V load-dump tolerance, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and compatibility with 4.0V–15V adjustable or fixed 5V output configurations.
Technical Context
The MAX20040DATPA/VY+ implements a current-mode controlled buck-boost topology with integrated high-side and low-side DMOS FETs arranged in an H-bridge configuration, enabling seamless transition between buck and boost modes without external control logic. Its internal 4.6V LDO (VCC) powers control circuitry and supports operation down to 2V input after startup completion.
It supports dual light-load operation modes via FSYNC: skip mode (for ultra-low IQ) and forced-PWM (for EMI predictability), with cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown at 166°C, and overvoltage protection triggered at 108% of regulation. The device uses external resistor programming (FSW pin) for 200kHz–2.2MHz frequency setting and accepts external clock synchronization within ±10% tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.2A max - sufficient for powering automotive infotainment SoCs or ADAS camera modules |
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 36V (post-startup) - supports cold-crank (≤3.5V) and load-dump (≤40V transient tolerant) |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz (RFSW = 12kΩ) - enables use of sub-1μH inductors and compact 0603/0805 ceramic capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 52μA in standby - meets OEM requirements for always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2% - ensures stable 5V or adjustable 4.0V–15V rail for sensitive analog/digital loads |

Pinout & Package
MAX20040DATPA/VY+ is housed in a 4mm × 4mm, 20-pin side-wettable TQFN (SWTQFN) package with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and high-reliability automotive PCB assembly.
| 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 input | Logic-compatible from 3.3V to 40V; enables/disables regulator with hysteresis |
| LX1 / LX2 | H-bridge 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 | Sets output: tie to VCC for 5V fixed; use resistive divider for 4.0V–15V adjustment (VFB = 1.25V) |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts when VOUT ≥96% of regulation; deasserts at ≤93%; requires 10kΩ pull-up to BIAS |
| FSW | Frequency set resistor node | Connect RFSW to AGND to program fSW from 200kHz to 2.2MHz (e.g., 12kΩ = 2.2MHz) |
| FSYNC | Mode/sync control input | AGND = skip mode; VCC = forced PWM; external clock accepted within −10% of fSW |
| SPS | Spread-spectrum enable | Pull high to modulate fSW ±3% (triangular, 110μs period at 2.2MHz); disabled during external sync |
| COMP | Loop compensation node | External Type II network (RC, CC, CF) sets bandwidth and phase margin for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated H-bridge architecture | Eliminates need for four discrete MOSFETs and associated gate drivers, reducing BOM count and board area by >40% |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20040BATPA/VY+ | Same package and pinout; differs only in output voltage option (5V fixed vs. adjustable 4–15V) | Fixed 5V output; no external FB divider required | Select when system requires only 5V rail and minimal external components |
| LM61480-Q1 | Single-switch buck-boost (not H-bridge); 3.3V–36V input; 3.5A output; no integrated spread spectrum | Requires external flyback diode and higher-output-current capability | Choose for higher current needs (>1.2A) where H-bridge integration is not mandatory |
Compared with MAX20040BATPA/VY+, the MAX20040DATPA/VY+ offers wider output adjustability (4–15V) at identical 1.2A rating and package, while the LM61480-Q1 provides higher current but lacks integrated H-bridge and spread-spectrum EMI control-making MAX20040DATPA/VY+ optimal for compact, low-EMI automotive PoL designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX20040DATPA/VY+ to start up?
The MAX20040DATPA/VY+ requires IN ≥3.5V and VCC UVLO release (≥3.5V) to initiate startup. Once operational, it sustains regulation down to 2V input-enabling cold-crank functionality. Startup behavior is verified per datasheet Section "Recommended Operating Conditions" and confirmed in typical operating characteristics plots.
Does MAX20040DATPA/VY+ support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, MAX20040DATPA/VY+ supports external clock synchronization via the FSYNC pin. The applied clock must be within −10% of the nominal fSW set by RFSW; synchronization locks within two cycles. When external clock is absent, the device reverts to internal oscillator operation.
What is the purpose of the SPS pin on MAX20040DATPA/VY+?
The SPS pin on MAX20040DATPA/VY+ enables or disables spread-spectrum frequency modulation. When pulled high, it modulates fSW ±3% with a triangular waveform (110μs period at 2.2MHz), reducing peak radiated EMI without altering filter design. SPS is automatically disabled during external clock sync.
Can MAX20040DATPA/VY+ operate with a 5V fixed output without external resistors?
Yes, MAX20040DATPA/VY+ can deliver a precise 5V fixed output by connecting the FB pin directly to VCC-activating the internal 1.25V reference and preset divider. No external resistors are needed, simplifying design for single-rail applications.
What thermal protection features does MAX20040DATPA/VY+ include?
MAX20040DATPA/VY+ incorporates thermal shutdown at 166°C (typical) with 18°C hysteresis. When junction temperature exceeds threshold, the internal bias regulator and switching circuitry disable until temperature falls below 148°C, then automatic recovery occurs-ensuring safe operation under overload or poor heatsinking conditions.
