Product details
Overview
The MAX20049ATEA/VY+ from Analog Devices is a dual 2.2MHz, 1A synchronous step-down converter with integrated dual LDOs (150mA LDO3 and 400mA LDO4), designed as a single-chip quad-rail power supply for automotive camera modules. It operates from 5V to 17V input, delivers factory-set outputs including 3.1V/1.8V/2.8V/1.2V, and features 180° out-of-phase buck operation, 500mV SUP1 hysteresis, and AEC-Q100 qualification for rear/front/surround-view camera systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20049ATEA/VY+ datasheet, MAX20049ATEA/VY+ pinout, MAX20049ATEA/VY+ application, or MAX20049ATEA/VY+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3mm × 3mm side-wettable TQFN package, fixed-output voltage options without external resistors, power-good monitoring across all four rails, and support for power-over-coax cable interfaces with slow-start robustness.
Technical Context
The MAX20049ATEA/VY+ integrates two independent PWM buck converters operating at 2.2MHz (±3% spread-spectrum option) with 180° phase shift to minimize input ripple, plus two dedicated LDOs: LDO3 (PMOS, 2.7–3.3V, 150mA) powered from SUP1 or buck outputs, and LDO4 (NMOS, 1.0–2.0V, 400mA) sequenced from Buck2. All outputs feature overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring with programmable thresholds and 50µs debounce.
Its BIAS regulator (5V, 20mA) powers internal circuitry with UVLO at 2.7V–2.9V and 400–700mV hysteresis; SUP1 UVLO rises at 5V with 500mV hysteresis to tolerate coax cable voltage sag. Thermal shutdown activates at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting protects both bucks (ILIM = 0.8–1.2A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 17V - supports direct connection to automotive power-over-coax cables without preregulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz (typ), ±3% spread-spectrum - enables all-ceramic capacitor design and compact 3.3µH inductors. |
| Buck Output Current | Up to 1.2A per channel - sufficient for image sensor core and serializer rails in 5MP+ camera modules. |
| LDO3 Output | 2.7V–3.3V, 150mA - factory-set to match common CMOS image sensor analog supply requirements. |
| LDO4 Output | 1.0V–2.0V in 100mV steps, 400mA - targets low-noise digital core/memory rails of SerDes ICs. |
| PGOOD Monitoring | AND-logic monitoring of all four outputs with 95% UV rising threshold and 102.5–108% OV rising threshold - ensures system-level power integrity before host processor boot. |

| 10 OUTS3 | 150mA LDO3 output | Provides factory-set 2.8V (or 2.7/2.9/3.0/3.3V) for image sensor analog supply; requires 4.7µF ceramic. |
| 11 AGND | Analog ground reference | Must be tied to PGND at single point; serves as reference for BIAS, PGOOD, and LDO feedback. |
| 12 BIAS | Internal 5V linear regulator output | Powers internal logic; requires 4.7µF ceramic bypass; used as PGOOD pull-up or LDO enable source. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to solid ground plane for thermal dissipation (θJC = 4°C/W); not electrically active. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-rail automotive camera power supply applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20090ATP/VY+ | Single 2.2MHz 3A buck + dual LDOs; no second buck; wider 3.5–36V input range. | Targeted at single-sensor modules with higher current demand (e.g., 8MP sensors); lacks dual-buck flexibility for independent rail optimization. | Select when only one high-current rail is needed and input voltage may exceed 17V (e.g., 24V truck systems). |
| TPS653221AQPHRQ1 | Triple buck (2A/1.5A/1.5A) + single LDO; 3.3–36V input; no spread-spectrum; different sequencing control. | Designed for general automotive domain controllers; lacks LDO3/LDO4 PSRR optimization for image sensors and no coax hysteresis. | Select for non-camera applications requiring three high-current rails; avoid for camera modules needing 88dB PSRR and 500mV hysteresis. |
Compared with MAX20090ATP/VY+ and TPS653221AQPHRQ1, the MAX20049ATEA/VY+ uniquely balances dual-buck flexibility, LDO-specific PSRR, coax-optimized hysteresis, and minimal 3mm × 3mm footprint-making it the only solution that meets all four critical requirements for next-generation automotive camera power design.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the MAX20049ATEA/VY+ support, and how does it handle slow-start conditions on coax cables?
The MAX20049ATEA/VY+ supports a 5V to 17V input range on SUP1/SUP2. Its 500mV hysteresis on the SUP1 UVLO threshold prevents false toggling during slow voltage ramps typical of long, low-cost coaxial cables. This eliminates the need for external RC timing circuits and ensures reliable startup even with >10m cable runs under cold-cranking conditions.
How are output voltages configured on the MAX20049ATEA/VY+, and can they be changed after manufacturing?
Output voltages on the MAX20049ATEA/VY+ are factory-programmed and permanently set - Buck1/Buck2 offer fixed options like 3.1V/1.8V, LDO3 offers 2.7V–3.3V, and LDO4 offers 1.0V–2.0V in 100mV steps. No external resistors or configuration pins exist; voltage selection must be specified at order time using the correct variant suffix (e.g., /VY+ denotes specific factory-set outputs).
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the MAX20049ATEA/VY+, and how should it be decoupled?
The BIAS pin on the MAX20049ATEA/VY+ delivers a regulated 5V output (20mA max) that powers internal circuitry and serves as a clean bias source for external components. It must be decoupled with a 4.7µF X7R ceramic capacitor to AGND, placed within 2mm of the pin. BIAS is also commonly used as the pull-up source for the open-drain PGOOD signal.
Does the MAX20049ATEA/VY+ provide power-good monitoring for all four outputs, and how is the signal asserted?
Yes, the MAX20049ATEA/VY+ monitors all four outputs (OUTS1–OUTS4) with AND-logic: PGOOD pulls low if *any* output falls below its undervoltage falling threshold (e.g., 87–92% for bucks) or rises above its overvoltage rising threshold (e.g., 102.5–108%). PGOOD returns to high-impedance only when all outputs simultaneously meet regulation criteria, ensuring system-level power integrity.
How does the MAX20049ATEA/VY+ manage thermal performance in sealed camera housings?
The MAX20049ATEA/VY+ uses a 3mm × 3mm side-wettable TQFN with an exposed thermal pad (EP) soldered to the PCB ground plane, achieving θJC = 4°C/W. In a typical 4-layer board with 2-in² copper pour under EP, it sustains full 1.2A/400mA loads at +85°C ambient without derating - critical for fanless, IP67-rated automotive camera enclosures where airflow is prohibited.
