Product details
Overview
MAX20057ATI/VY+T from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade triple-output power management IC integrating two synchronous buck converters (5V/3.5A 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 power for instrument clusters, start-stop systems, and head units under wide temperature (-40°C to +125°C) and transient conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20057ATI/VY+T datasheet, MAX20057ATI/VY+T pinout, MAX20057ATI/VY+T application, or MAX20057ATI/VY+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1MHz/400kHz selectable switching frequency, 180° out-of-phase buck operation, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, FSYNC synchronization capability, and thermally enhanced 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The MAX20057ATI/VY+T implements valley current-mode control for both buck converters, enabling stable regulation at high input-to-output voltage ratios and supporting forced PWM, skip, and external clock-synchronized modes via FSYNC. Its dual-buck architecture operates 180° out-of-phase to minimize input ripple across 3.5V–36V supply range.
The integrated boost controller features cycle-by-cycle current limiting with 50mV CSP threshold, UVLO with 4.5V rising/2.05V falling thresholds, and supports preboost during cold-crank to maintain buck regulation. Internal 5V BIAS LDO and EXTVCC switchover enable flexible biasing with <30μA total quiescent current when all regulators are active.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX20057ATI/VY+T uses a thermally enhanced 5mm × 5mm, 28-pin TQFN-EP package (package code T2855Y+5C) with exposed pad connected to AGND for optimal heat dissipation. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 27°C/W on a four-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN1, EN2, EN3 | Independent digital enable inputs | High-voltage tolerant (to 40V); control startup sequencing of Buck1, Buck2, and Boost independently |
| FB1, FB2, FB3 | Feedback inputs | Regulated to 1.0V ±1.5%; support fixed outputs (via BIAS tie) or resistor-divider adjustment (1V–14V) |
| LX1, LX2 | Power switch node connections | Drive external inductors; require low-ESR ceramic bootstrap capacitors (BST1/BST2) for high-side gate drive |
| PGOOD1, PGOOD2 | Open-drain power-good indicators | Assert low if output drops below 93.5% of nominal; high-impedance above 95%; used for rail sequencing and fault signaling |
| FSYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 250kHz–2.6MHz signal; enables PLL-based synchronization and 180° phase alignment between bucks |
| DL | N-MOSFET low-side gate driver output | Sources/sinks up to 1.67A peak; drives external boost MOSFET with internal 5V BIAS or EXTVCC supply |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 180° out-of-phase buck operation | Reduces input capacitor RMS current by ~30%, enabling smaller bulk capacitance and lower EMI |
| 20ns minimum on-time (buck) | Enables stable 3.3V output at 2.1MHz without pulse-skipping artifacts or audible noise |
| Spread-spectrum modulation | ±6% frequency dither centered at fSW; lowers peak EMI by >10dB without compromising regulation |
| EXTVCC switchover | Bypasses internal 5V LDO using external 3.25V–5.5V supply; cuts IC power loss and improves light-load efficiency |
| Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection | 50mV CSP threshold minimizes sense resistor power loss; hiccup mode prevents thermal runaway during short circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20090ATI/VY+ | Single 5V/3.5A buck + boost; lacks second buck channel and 180° phase control | Suitable for simpler loads where only one regulated rail is required | Select MAX20090ATI/VY+ when system needs only one high-current buck output plus boost pre-regulation |
| TPS65321A-Q1 | Triple buck (3A/2A/1.5A) but no integrated boost; requires external preboost circuit for cold-crank | Requires additional external components to achieve 2V cold-crank operation | Select TPS65321A-Q1 when boost is unnecessary or implemented separately with higher efficiency trade-offs |
Compared with MAX20057ATI/VY+T, MAX20090ATI/VY+ offers reduced integration for cost-sensitive single-rail designs, while TPS65321A-Q1 provides higher buck current flexibility but mandates external boost circuitry-making MAX20057ATI/VY+T the only solution combining dual-phase bucks, integrated preboost, and automotive thermal robustness in one 5mm × 5mm package.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the MAX20057ATI/VY+T?
The MAX20057ATI/VY+T supports a continuous input voltage range of 3.5V to 36V. Its absolute maximum rating allows transient exposure up to 40V on SUP, SUPSW1, SUPSW2, FB3, and EN pins relative to AGND. During cold-crank, the integrated boost controller maintains buck regulation even when battery voltage sags to 2.05V, extending effective operational range beyond the nominal input specification.
Does the MAX20057ATI/VY+T support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the MAX20057ATI/VY+T supports external clock synchronization via the FSYNC pin. It accepts input frequencies from 250kHz to 2.6MHz and uses an internal PLL to align buck switching edges-LX1 falling edge to FSYNC rising edge, LX2 falling edge to FSYNC falling edge-enabling precise 180° phase shift and EMI reduction through deterministic frequency placement.
How does the MAX20057ATI/VY+T handle thermal overload?
The MAX20057ATI/VY+T incorporates thermal shutdown protection that disables all regulators when junction temperature exceeds +170°C. After shutdown, the device remains off until junction temperature cools by 20°C (hysteresis), then automatically resumes operation. This behavior is guaranteed over the full -40°C to +125°C ambient range and complements the 27°C/W θJA thermal performance of its 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package.
Can the MAX20057ATI/VY+T operate with only one buck converter enabled?
Yes, the MAX20057ATI/VY+T supports independent control of each regulator via dedicated enable pins: EN1 for Buck1, EN2 for Buck2, and EN3 for the boost controller. When only Buck1 is enabled, quiescent current drops to 10μA; with only Buck2 enabled, it drops to 8μA. Full shutdown (all EN pins low) reduces supply current to 1μA, making it suitable for ultra-low-power automotive standby modes.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the MAX20057ATI/VY+T?
The EXTVCC pin on the MAX20057ATI/VY+T allows bypassing the internal 5V BIAS LDO by applying an external 3.25V–5.5V supply-such as a clean buck output or system rail. When valid voltage is present, the IC switches BIAS internally to EXTVCC, disabling the LDO to reduce power dissipation and improve light-load efficiency. If EXTVCC falls below 3V, the internal LDO re-engages to maintain regulation.
