Product details
Overview
The MAX20049ATED/VY+T 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 3.5V to 17V input, delivers factory-set outputs including 3.1V/1.8V buck rails and 2.8V/1.2V LDO rails, and features 180° out-of-phase buck operation to minimize input ripple - deployed in surround-view, rear, and front ADAS camera systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20049ATED/VY+T datasheet, MAX20049ATED/VY+T pinout, MAX20049ATED/VY+T application, or MAX20049ATED/VY+T equivalent, key selection considerations include AEC-Q100 qualification, 500mV SUP1 hysteresis for long coax cable support, 2.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation enabling all-ceramic designs, and factory-programmed voltage options eliminating external feedback resistors.
Technical Context
The MAX20049ATED/VY+T integrates two independent buck converters operating at 2.2MHz (±3% spread-spectrum option) with 180° phase shift, each supporting 0.9V–3.8V output and up to 1.2A load. Its dedicated high-voltage LDOIN3 input (2.9V–17V) enables direct connection to power-over-coax cables or cascading from buck outputs, improving PSRR over conventional LDOs.
Voltage monitoring is applied across all four regulated outputs (OUTS1–OUTS4); PGOOD asserts open-drain low on any undervoltage (<95% nominal) or overvoltage (>108% nominal). Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown at +175°C with 15°C hysteresis, and overvoltage shutdown with automatic recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 17V - supports direct connection to automotive power-over-coax infrastructure without preregulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz (typ), ±3% spread-spectrum - enables compact 3.3µH inductors and all-ceramic output filtering. |
| Buck Output Current | Up to 1.2A per channel - sufficient to power image sensor cores and serializers without external boost stages. |
| LDO3 Output | 2.8V @ 150mA (factory-set) - targets low-noise analog supply for CMOS image sensors with 88dB PSRR at 8kHz. |
| LDO4 Output | 1.2V @ 400mA (factory-set) - supplies digital logic rails (e.g., serializer I/O, memory interface) with 35mV dropout at full load. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 for under-hood and camera module mounting locations. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 43.3°C/W (4-layer board) - enables high-power density operation in space-constrained camera housings. |
Pinout & Package
MAX20049ATED/VY+T is housed in a 16-pin side-wettable TQFN (3mm × 3mm) with exposed pad, optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and thermal performance in automotive PCB assemblies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16, 11 | PGND2 / PGND1 / AGND | Power and analog ground nodes - must be connected together at a single-point star ground beneath the exposed pad for noise control and thermal transfer. |
| 2, 15 | LX2 / LX1 | High-side switch node for Buck2/Buck1 - requires tight layout with minimal loop area to suppress EMI; high-impedance when disabled. |
| 3, 14 | SUP2 / SUP1 | High-side MOSFET supply inputs - each requires ≥2.2µF X7R ceramic capacitor to ground for stable gate drive. |
| 4, 13 | BST2 / BST1 | Bootstrap supply for high-side drivers - requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BSTx and corresponding LXx. |
| 5 | PGOOD | Open-drain power-good monitor - pulls low if any output falls below 95% or exceeds 108% of nominal; requires external 10kΩ pull-up. |
| 6, 8 | OUTS2 / OUTS1 | Output voltage sense points for Buck2/Buck1 - connect directly to respective output capacitors to reject PCB trace resistance errors. |
| 7, 10 | OUTS4 / OUTS3 | Regulated LDO outputs - OUTS4 (1.2V/400mA) and OUTS3 (2.8V/150mA) require 2.2µF and 4.7µF ceramic bypass caps respectively. |
| 9 | LDOIN3 | LDO3 input - accepts 2.9V–17V; can be powered from coax cable, Buck1, or Buck2; not recommended to tie directly to SUP1/SUP2 without ≥22µF output capacitance. |
| 12 | BIAS | Internal 5V linear regulator output - powers internal circuitry; requires 4.7µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Side-wettable TQFN package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints in automotive production, critical for zero-defect camera module assembly. |
| 180° out-of-phase buck operation | Reduces RMS input current ripple by ~30% versus in-phase operation, lowering required input capacitance and EMI filter size. |
| 500mV SUP1 hysteresis | Prevents false toggling during slow-start conditions on long coax cables, ensuring reliable power-up in vehicle-level harness environments. |
| Factory-programmed output voltages | Eliminates external resistor networks and layout sensitivity, reducing BOM count and PCB area while guaranteeing accuracy within ±2%. |
| Integrated BIAS regulator | Provides stable 5V internal supply independent of input rail fluctuations, ensuring consistent soft-start timing and sequencing reliability. |

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; higher current per rail but fewer output rails. | Best suited for single-sensor modules requiring higher current on one rail (e.g., 3.3V @ 2.5A) rather than four independent rails. | Select MAX20090ATP/VY+ when only three regulated rails are needed and higher peak current on primary buck is required. |
| TPS653221AQPHPRQ1 | Triple buck (2A/1.5A/1.5A) + single LDO; no spread spectrum; different sequencing architecture and pinout. | Targets broader automotive body electronics; lacks coax-optimized hysteresis and side-wettable package for AOI. | Choose TPS653221AQPHPRQ1 for non-camera applications where triple-buck topology and TI ecosystem integration are prioritized. |
Compared with MAX20049ATED/VY+T, MAX20090ATP/VY+ consolidates rails at the cost of flexibility, while TPS653221AQPHPRQ1 offers higher buck current but sacrifices coax compatibility and AOI-friendly packaging - making MAX20049ATED/VY+T optimal for multi-sensor camera modules demanding compactness, noise isolation, and production traceability.

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the MAX20049ATED/VY+T?
The MAX20049ATED/VY+T supports an input voltage range of 3.5V to 17V, enabling direct connection to automotive power-over-coax cables and compatibility with 12V battery systems including cold-crank transients. This wide range eliminates the need for upstream pre-regulators in most camera module designs.
How does the MAX20049ATED/VY+T handle power sequencing for its four output rails?
The MAX20049ATED/VY+T implements factory-programmed default sequencing: Buck1 starts first (3V/ms ramp), followed by LDO3 (100µs soft-start), then Buck2 (gated by Buck1 regulation), and finally LDO4 (120µs soft-start triggered by Buck2 regulation). Sequencing order is fixed per device variant and cannot be altered externally.
Is the MAX20049ATED/VY+T qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MAX20049ATED/VY+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 0 (-40°C to +125°C junction temperature) and designed for automotive camera applications. It includes thermal shutdown at +175°C with 15°C hysteresis, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and overvoltage protection - all validated per automotive reliability standards.
What package type does the MAX20049ATED/VY+T use, and why is it significant?
The MAX20049ATED/VY+T uses a 16-pin side-wettable TQFN (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed pad. This package enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints - a critical requirement for zero-defect manufacturing in automotive camera modules - while delivering low thermal resistance (θJA = 43.3°C/W).
Can the output voltages of the MAX20049ATED/VY+T be adjusted externally?
No, the MAX20049ATED/VY+T features factory-programmed output voltages with no external feedback resistors. Buck1/Buck2 offer fixed options including 3.1V and 1.8V; LDO3 is set to 2.8V and LDO4 to 1.2V for this specific variant. Voltage selection is determined at wafer sort and cannot be modified in-system.
