Product details
Overview
MAX20057ATIF/VY+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade triple-output power management IC integrating two synchronous buck converters (5V/3.3A and 3.3V/2A) and a 36V asynchronous boost controller, operating from 3.5V–36V input with cold-crank support down to 2V battery voltage. It delivers regulated outputs for instrument clusters and start-stop systems using 180° out-of-phase switching at fixed 400kHz or 2.1MHz frequencies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20057ATIF/VY+ datasheet, MAX20057ATIF/VY+ pinout, MAX20057ATIF/VY+ application, or MAX20057ATIF/VY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +125°C automotive qualification, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, FSYNC programmable operation modes (forced PWM, skip, PLL sync), and thermally enhanced 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The MAX20057ATIF/VY+ employs valley current-mode control for both buck converters, enabling stable regulation across wide input ranges including automotive cold-crank (2V–36V). Its 180° phase shift between Buck1 and Buck2 minimizes input ripple, while the boost controller supports preboost during low-VIN conditions to maintain buck regulation.
FSYNC enables three operational modes: forced fixed-frequency (FPWM), skip mode (ultra-low 8–10μA quiescent current), and PLL-synchronized external clock locking. Spread spectrum (±6% frequency modulation) is factory-enabled to suppress EMI without compromising AM-band immunity or thermal performance.

Pinout & Package
MAX20057ATIF/VY+ uses a thermally enhanced 28-pin TQFN-EP package (5mm × 5mm) with exposed pad connected to AGND for optimal heat dissipation. The package supports high-power automotive operation with low thermal resistance (θJC = 3°C/W).

| PGOOD1, PGOOD2 | Open-drain status indicators | Assert low when output drops below 93.5% of regulation; high-impedance above 95%; used for rail sequencing |
| FSYNC | External clock synchronization input | Enables PLL lock to external clock; determines phase shift (50% duty cycle → 180° Buck1/Buck2 phase offset) |
| COMP, CSP, DL | Boost control interface | COMP: error amplifier output for RC compensation; CSP: current sense input (50mV threshold); DL: N-MOSFET gate driver (1.67A peak) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-output automotive PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20090ATI/VY+ | Single 5V/3.5A buck + dual 3.3V/2A bucks; no integrated boost controller; 2.1MHz only | Requires external boost for cold-crank; suited for non-crank applications with lower system complexity | Select when boost functionality is implemented externally or unnecessary; lower BOM count but reduced cold-crank robustness |
| TPS65381A-Q1 | Three buck regulators (5V/3A, 3.3V/2.5A, 1.2V/2A); no boost; includes watchdog and reset logic | Targeted at ASIL-B safety-critical domains; lacks cold-crank support and spread-spectrum EMI reduction | Select when functional safety (ISO 26262) features are required over cold-crank resilience and EMI performance |
Compared with MAX20057ATIF/VY+, MAX20090ATI/VY+ reduces integration by omitting the boost controller-simplifying design but requiring external preboost for sub-6V operation-while TPS65381A-Q1 adds safety logic at the cost of cold-crank capability and EMI mitigation features critical for infotainment systems.

FAQ
What is the cold-crank capability of the MAX20057ATIF/VY+?
The MAX20057ATIF/VY+ maintains regulated output during automotive cold-crank events down to 2V battery voltage by leveraging its integrated 36V asynchronous boost controller to pre-regulate input to the buck converters. This eliminates need for external preboost circuitry and ensures uninterrupted operation of instrument clusters and head units during engine cranking.
How does the FSYNC pin affect MAX20057ATIF/VY+ operation?
The FSYNC pin on the MAX20057ATIF/VY+ enables three distinct modes: driving FSYNC low activates skip mode for ultra-low quiescent current (8–10μA), driving it high enables forced PWM for constant frequency, and applying an external clock enables PLL synchronization. A 50% duty-cycle external clock yields 180° phase shift between Buck1 and Buck2, minimizing input ripple.
Can MAX20057ATIF/VY+ operate without the internal BIAS LDO?
Yes - the MAX20057ATIF/VY+ supports EXTVCC switchover: applying 3.25V–5.5V to the EXTVCC pin disables the internal 5V BIAS LDO and powers internal circuitry directly from the external rail. This reduces IC power dissipation and improves light-load efficiency, especially when powered from one of the buck outputs.
What protection features are integrated into MAX20057ATIF/VY+?
The MAX20057ATIF/VY+ integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting on all three channels, thermal shutdown at 170°C (20°C hysteresis), undervoltage lockout on BIAS (3.1V rising, 2.6V falling) and boost input (4.5V rising), plus open-drain PGOOD indicators with 20μs debounce. These ensure robust operation in harsh automotive environments without external supervision circuitry.
Is spread spectrum enabled by default on MAX20057ATIF/VY+?
Yes - spread spectrum (±6% frequency modulation) is a factory-configured option on the MAX20057ATIF/VY+ and is active when operating from the internal oscillator. It is automatically disabled during FSYNC synchronization, though external clock modulation (e.g., spread-spectrum source) passes through unfiltered to maintain EMI benefits.
