Product details
Overview
The MAX20049CATEA/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 specifically for automotive camera modules. It operates from 4V to 17V input, delivers factory-set outputs including 3.1V/1.8V buck rails and 2.8V/1.2V LDO rails, and integrates voltage monitoring, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and 180° out-of-phase buck operation for low input ripple - enabling compact, coax-powered camera power solutions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20049CATEA/VY+T datasheet, MAX20049CATEA/VY+T pinout, MAX20049CATEA/VY+T application, or MAX20049CATEA/VY+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 qualification, side-wettable 3mm × 3mm TQFN-16 package, fixed-output configuration for image sensor and serializer rails, and integrated PGOOD monitoring across all four regulated outputs.
Technical Context
The MAX20049CATEA/VY+T implements two independent PWM buck converters operating at 2.2MHz (±3% spread-spectrum option), each with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and 180° phase offset to minimize input capacitor RMS current. Its dedicated high-voltage LDOIN3 input supports direct connection to power-over-coax cables or cascaded buck outputs, enabling high PSRR (>88dB at 8kHz) for noise-sensitive image sensors.
Buck1 and Buck2 feature ultra-low minimum on-time (enabling 0.9V–3.8V output from 17V input), while LDO3 (2.7V–3.3V, ±2% accuracy) and LDO4 (1.0V–2.0V in 100mV steps, ±2.5%) are factory-programmed with fixed voltages and support flexible sequencing - LDO3 can be triggered by SUP1, OUTS1, or OUTS2, and LDO4 follows Buck2 regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 17V - supports direct connection to automotive power-over-coax cables without external preregulation. |
| Buck Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz (typ), ±3% spread-spectrum - enables use of small 3.3µH inductors and all-ceramic output capacitors. |
| Buck Output Current | Up to 1.2A per channel - sufficient for powering image sensor analog/digital cores and serializer ICs. |
| LDO3 Output | 2.8V (factory-set), 150mA, ±2% accuracy - supplies low-noise bias to CMOS image sensors requiring stable 2.8V. |
| LDO4 Output | 1.2V (factory-set), 400mA, ±2.5% accuracy - powers serializer memory interfaces with low dropout (35mV @ 400mA). |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 for under-hood and camera module environments. |
| Package | 16-pin side-wettable TQFN (3mm × 3mm, exposed pad) - supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and robust thermal performance (θJA = 43.3°C/W). |
Pinout & Package
MAX20049CATEA/VY+T is housed in a 16-pin side-wettable TQFN package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to PCB ground plane for enhanced thermal dissipation. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with Pin 1 at top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | PGND2 / PGND1 | Power ground terminals - must be tied together and to EP for low-impedance return path and thermal conduction. |
| 2, 15 | LX2 / LX1 | Switching node connections for Buck2/Buck1 - require tight layout with minimal loop area to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| 3, 14 | SUP2 / SUP1 | High-side switch supply inputs - each requires 2.2µF X7R ceramic bypass capacitor to AGND for stable gate drive. |
| 4, 13 | BST2 / BST1 | Bootstrap supply pins - each connects via 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between LXx and BSTx to enable high-side MOSFET drive. |
| 5 | PGOOD | Open-drain power-good output - goes high-impedance only when all four outputs (OUTS1–OUTS4) are within UV/OV thresholds. |
| 6, 8 | OUTS2 / OUTS1 | Feedback sense points for Buck2/Buck1 - connect directly to respective output capacitors for accurate regulation. |
| 7, 10 | OUTS4 / OUTS3 | LDO4/LDO3 output sense terminals - require 2.2µF and 4.7µF ceramic capacitors respectively for stability and PSRR. |
| 9 | LDOIN3 | LDO3 input - accepts 2.9V–17V; supports direct coax input or cascaded buck output (e.g., OUTS1) to improve PSRR. |
| 11 | AGND | Analog ground - must be connected to PGND1/PGND2 at single point near EP to avoid noise coupling into sensitive analog blocks. |
| 12 | BIAS | Internal 5V linear regulator output - powers internal circuitry; requires 4.7µF ceramic bypass capacitor to AGND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Side-wettable TQFN-16 | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints and improves manufacturing yield in automotive SMT lines. |
| 180° out-of-phase buck operation | Reduces RMS input current ripple by ~30%, allowing smaller input bulk capacitors and lower EMI filter component count. |
| 500mV SUP1 hysteresis | Prevents false toggling during slow-start conditions on long coax cables, ensuring reliable power-up in automotive camera harnesses. |
| Factory-programmed output voltages | Eliminates external feedback resistors, reduces BOM count, and guarantees ±2% output accuracy over temperature and load. |
| Integrated spread-spectrum modulation | Reduces peak radiated emissions by spreading fundamental switching energy across a 3% bandwidth, easing CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance. |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-recovery | Protects against sustained overload; device resumes soft-start sequence after junction cools by 15°C, avoiding system latch-up. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-rail automotive camera power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS650362AQPWPRQ1 | Triple buck + single LDO; 2.2MHz switching; no spread-spectrum; 16-pin HTSSOP (5mm × 4.4mm) | Lacks second LDO and coax-input hysteresis; requires external sequencing logic for four-rail coordination | Choose when board space allows larger package and system-level sequencing is already implemented. |
| MAX20091ATPA/VY+ | Dual buck + dual LDO; 2.1MHz; AEC-Q100; but no spread-spectrum, no 500mV SUP hysteresis, and 20-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm) | Higher pin count increases routing complexity; lacks EMI mitigation features critical for high-frequency camera links | Consider only if legacy design uses identical footprint and spread-spectrum is not required for EMI compliance. |
