Product details
Overview
MAX20057ATIC/VY+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade triple-output power management IC integrating two synchronous buck converters (5V/3.3V fixed or 1–14V adjustable, 3.5A/2A) and a 36V asynchronous boost controller with cold-crank support down to 2V input. It operates from 3.5V to 36V input, delivers 95% max duty cycle in dropout, and targets mid-to-high-power automotive systems requiring robust regulation during start-stop and cold-crank events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20057ATIC/VY+ datasheet, MAX20057ATIC/VY+ pinout, MAX20057ATIC/VY+ application, or MAX20057ATIC/VY+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-phase 2.1MHz/400kHz switching capability, integrated PGOOD indicators per buck rail, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, thermally enhanced 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package, and validated crank-ready operation at 2V battery input.
Technical Context
The MAX20057ATIC/VY+ employs valley current-mode control for both buck converters, operating 180° out-of-phase to minimize input ripple across 3.5V–36V input range. Its boost controller uses asynchronous current-mode architecture with programmable UVLO (4.5V rise / 2.05V fall) and supports SEPIC configuration for wide-input regulation.
FSYNC enables PLL-based synchronization to external clocks (250kHz–2.6MHz), while spread-spectrum modulation (±6% at 2.1MHz) reduces peak EMI without compromising regulation. The IC integrates a 5V internal BIAS LDO with EXTVCC switchover, enabling efficiency optimization by bypassing the LDO with external 3.25–5.5V supplies.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the MAX20057ATIC/VY+ support, and how does it handle cold-crank conditions?
The MAX20057ATIC/VY+ operates from 3.5V to 36V under normal conditions and supports cold-crank operation down to 2.05V input via its integrated 36V asynchronous boost controller. During cranking, the boost pre-regulates the input to maintain buck converter regulation-ensuring continuous 5V and 3.3V output even when battery voltage collapses to 2V, as required by ISO 16750-2.
Does the MAX20057ATIC/VY+ support external clock synchronization, and what are the valid frequency ranges?
Yes, the MAX20057ATIC/VY+ supports external clock synchronization via the FSYNC pin. It accepts frequencies from 250kHz to 550kHz when configured for 400kHz internal operation, and from 1.8MHz to 2.6MHz when configured for 2.1MHz operation. The device uses a PLL to lock internal switching to the external clock with 1:1 ratio and precise phase alignment between buck channels.
How does the MAX20057ATIC/VY+ reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in sensitive automotive environments?
The MAX20057ATIC/VY+ reduces EMI through three integrated features: 2.1MHz fixed-frequency operation (avoiding AM band), spread-spectrum modulation (±6% frequency dither), and 180° interleaved buck phases that cancel input ripple. These features collectively lower peak radiated emissions-enabling compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 without additional filtering or shielding in most automotive layouts.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the MAX20057ATIC/VY+, and how should it be used?
The EXTVCC pin on the MAX20057ATIC/VY+ allows bypassing the internal 5V BIAS LDO by connecting an external 3.25V–5.5V supply-reducing internal power dissipation and improving light-load efficiency. When a valid voltage is applied, the IC switches BIAS internally to EXTVCC and disables the LDO. If EXTVCC drops below ~3V, the LDO automatically re-enables to maintain regulation.
Can the MAX20057ATIC/VY+ operate with adjustable output voltages, and what is the supported range?
Yes, the MAX20057ATIC/VY+ supports adjustable outputs for both buck converters (1V to 14V) and the boost controller (adjustable option). Feedback pins FB1 and FB2 are regulated to 1.0V ±15mV, enabling precise resistor-divider programming. The boost output can be set using an external divider on FB3, with factory-fixed 10V also available. All adjustable configurations retain full protection and thermal performance.
