Product details
Overview
MAX20049ATEF/VY+T from Analog Devices is a dual 2.2MHz, 1A synchronous step-down converter with integrated dual LDOs (150mA LDO3 and 400mA LDO4), delivering four regulated rails for automotive camera modules. It operates from 5V to 17V input, supports factory-set outputs including 3.1V/1.8V/2.8V/1.2V, features 180° out-of-phase buck operation, and integrates overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring with 500mV hysteresis for power-over-coax cable compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T datasheet, MAX20049ATEF/VY+T pinout, MAX20049ATEF/VY+T application, or MAX20049ATEF/VY+T equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, side-wettable 3mm × 3mm TQFN-16 package, fixed-output voltage options without external resistors, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and integrated thermal shutdown with automatic recovery.
Technical Context
The MAX20049ATEF/VY+T implements two independent PWM-controlled buck converters operating at 2.2MHz (±3% spread-spectrum option), each with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and 180° phase offset to minimize input ripple. Its dedicated high-voltage LDOIN3 input (up to 17V) enables direct connection to coax cables or cascading from Buck1/Buck2 outputs, improving PSRR beyond 88dB at 8kHz for LDO3.
All four output rails-OUTS1/OUTS2 (buck sense), OUTS3 (2.7–3.3V LDO), and OUTS4 (1.0–2.0V LDO)-are continuously monitored; PGOOD asserts low on any rail's undervoltage (95% threshold) or overvoltage (102.5–115%) violation. Soft-start sequencing is factory-programmed: Buck1 initiates first (3V/ms ramp), followed by LDO3, then Buck2 (gated by Buck1 regulation), and finally LDO4.

| 3, 14 | SUP2 / SUP1 | High-side switch supply inputs - each requires 2.2µF ceramic bypass to PGND for stable gate drive. |
| 4, 13 | BST2 / BST1 | Bootstrap supply for high-side MOSFET drivers - capacitor placed between BSTx and corresponding LXx. |
| 5 | PGOOD | Open-drain power-good monitor - pulls low if any of OUTS1/OUTS2/OUTS3/OUTS4 violates UV/OV thresholds. |
| 6, 8 | OUTS2 / OUTS1 | Buck output voltage sense points - connect directly to respective output capacitors for accurate regulation. |
| 7, 10 | OUTS4 / OUTS3 | LDO4 and LDO3 output terminals - require 2.2µF and 4.7µF ceramic capacitors respectively for stability. |
| 9 | LDOIN3 | LDO3 input - accepts up to 17V; designed for direct coax input or cascaded from Buck1/Buck2 outputs. |
| 11 | AGND | Analog ground - tied to PGND at single point to minimize noise coupling into sensitive feedback paths. |
| 12 | BIAS | Internal 5V linear regulator output - powers internal circuitry; requires 4.7µF ceramic bypass to AGND. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20049CATEF/VY+T | Wider 4V–17V input range; supports 0.9V–1.9V buck outputs (vs. 0.9V–2V in MAX20049ATEF/VY+T); identical LDO3/LDO4 specs. | Preferred for systems with lower minimum input (e.g., start-stop battery dips below 5V) or requiring sub-1.0V digital rails. | Select MAX20049CATEF/VY+T only if 4V UVLO threshold or 0.9V buck output is required; otherwise MAX20049ATEF/VY+T offers optimal fit for standard 5V–17V coax-fed cameras. |
| MAX20049DATEF/VY+T | Extended 3.5V–17V input; supports 0.9V–3.3V buck outputs and higher 1.3–1.9A current limit; same LDO configuration. | Suitable for high-current camera modules (e.g., 8MP+ sensors) needing >1.2A buck capability or deeper input voltage headroom. | Choose MAX20049DATEF/VY+T when buck load exceeds 1.2A or system must operate reliably down to 3.5V - not a drop-in replacement due to different current-limit thresholds and sequencing behavior. |
Compared with MAX20049CATEF/VY+T and MAX20049DATEF/VY+T, the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T provides the optimal balance of input voltage margin (5V–17V), buck current (1.2A), and footprint efficiency for mainstream automotive camera modules, avoiding overdesign while maintaining AEC-Q100 compliance and coax cable compatibility.

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T?
The MAX20049ATEF/VY+T supports an input voltage range of 5V to 17V on both SUP1 and SUP2 pins. This range is optimized for automotive power-over-coax applications where nominal 12V battery systems experience transient spikes up to 17V and must maintain regulation during cold-crank events. The 5V UVLO rising threshold with 500mV hysteresis ensures reliable startup even with voltage droop on long coax cables.
Does the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T require external resistors to set output voltages?
No, the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T does not require external resistors. All output voltages - including Buck1, Buck2, LDO3, and LDO4 - are factory-programmed during wafer test. For example, typical configurations include 3.1V/1.8V/2.8V/1.2V, with LDO3 available in 2.7V–3.3V and LDO4 in 1.0V–2.0V (100mV steps). This eliminates resistor placement, trimming, and associated drift in automotive environments.
How does the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T handle power sequencing for camera subsystems?
The MAX20049ATEF/VY+T implements factory-programmed default sequencing: Buck1 starts first (3V/ms ramp), followed immediately by LDO3; Buck2 begins only after Buck1 reaches regulation; LDO4 starts once Buck2 is stable. This ensures proper power-up order for image sensors (analog rail first), serializers (digital rail second), and memory interfaces (low-voltage rail last), preventing latch-up or initialization faults.
What thermal protection features are integrated into the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T?
The MAX20049ATEF/VY+T includes thermal-overload protection that disables all regulators when junction temperature exceeds +175°C (typical), then automatically recovers after cooling by 15°C (typical) with full soft-start reinitialization. Combined with its 43.3°C/W θJA in the 3mm × 3mm TQFN package and low RDS(ON) switches, the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T sustains 1.2A continuous output at +85°C ambient without external heatsinking.
Can the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T be used with power-over-coax infrastructure?
Yes, the MAX20049ATEF/VY+T is explicitly designed for power-over-coax applications. Its 5V–17V input range, 500mV SUP1 hysteresis, and dedicated high-voltage LDOIN3 input (up to 17V) allow direct connection to unregulated coax lines. The device tolerates slow voltage ramps and long cable impedance without false triggering, and its 2.2MHz switching enables compact filtering - making it ideal for automotive camera modules fed via coaxial video/power cables.
