Product details
Overview
MAX20071ATAA/V+ from Analog Devices is a 600mA, adjustable-output synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in an 8-pin TDFN-EP package. It operates from 3.0V to 5.5V input, delivers output from 0.5V to 3.8V, features 2.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, ±1.5% output-voltage accuracy over load/line/temperature, and includes enable input, PGOOD output, and 0.85ms soft-start. It is designed for automotive point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20071ATAA/V+ datasheet, MAX20071ATAA/V+ pinout, MAX20071ATAA/V+ application, or MAX20071ATAA/V+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 600mA current rating (vs. 1A MAX20072), factory-adjustable or resistor-programmable output, 2.2MHz switching frequency enabling all-ceramic designs, and automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation with overtemperature and overcurrent protection.
Technical Context
The MAX20071ATAA/V+ implements a current-mode control architecture with internal high-side (80–300mΩ) and low-side (50–200mΩ) MOSFETs, supporting both forced-PWM and pulse-skipping modes via the SYNC pin. Its 0.5V internal reference and feedback pin (OUT) enable precise resistor-based output programming or factory presetting in 10mV steps.
It integrates a spread-spectrum oscillator (±3% frequency dithering, disabled in this variant), thermal shutdown at +165°C with 15°C hysteresis, and active-low open-drain PGOOD with 7% OV/UV detection thresholds and 50µs hold time. The device uses a fixed 0.85ms soft-start ramp to limit inrush current during power-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 600mA maximum continuous - supports compact point-of-load rails for microcontrollers or sensors without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - compatible with automotive 3.3V/5V supply rails and post-regulation from higher intermediate buses. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5V to 3.8V - programmable via external resistor divider (0.5V reference) or factory preset - enables core voltage scaling for low-power SoCs. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz (fixed, no spread spectrum) - allows use of small 2.2µH inductors and all-ceramic 4.7µF/10µF input/output capacitors. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1.5% over load, line, and temperature - eliminates need for 0.1% external resistors when factory preset; ensures stable logic rail tolerance. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for under-hood automotive applications and industrial embedded systems. |
| Soft-Start Time | Fixed 0.85ms - controls output ramp rate to prevent inrush-induced supply droop or system reset during startup. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TDFN-EP (2mm × 2mm × 0.85mm, exposed pad), RoHS-compliant, automotive-qualified (V+ suffix). Thermal resistance θJA = 85.3°C/W on four-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AV | Analog supply | Separate analog rail for internal reference and error amplifier; requires 1µF capacitor + 10Ω series resistor to PV for noise immunity. |
| 2 SYNC | Synchronization input | Logic-controlled mode selector: grounded → skip mode (light-load efficiency); tied to PV or clock → forced PWM (constant frequency, low noise). |
| 3 PGND | Power ground | Dedicated low-impedance return path for high-current LX switching node; must be connected directly to EP and system GND plane. |
| 4 PV | Main power input | Primary input supply (3.0–5.5V); requires ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor to PGND close to pin for transient current handling. |
| 5 PG | Power-good output | Active-low open-drain signal asserting after 10µs delay when output deviates >7% from regulation; requires external pullup ≥2kΩ. |
| 6 LX | Switch node | Connection to inductor's switched side; carries high di/dt current - must be routed short and wide with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| 7 EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control (VIH = 1.5V min); rising edge initiates 0.85ms soft-start; falling edge forces shutdown with <2µA quiescent current. |
| 8 OUT | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; senses output voltage against 0.5V internal reference - sets output as VOUT = 0.5V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| EP | Exposed pad | Thermal and electrical ground connection; requires ≥3 vias to inner GND planes for effective heat dissipation and low-impedance return. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-mode PWM control | Enables fast transient response and inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting - critical for stable operation under dynamic load steps in automotive ECUs. |
| Factory-preset or resistor-adjustable output | Supports ±1.5% accuracy without precision resistors (factory option) or full flexibility down to 0.5V (external divider) - reduces BOM count and design iteration time. |
| 0.85ms fixed soft-start | Guarantees controlled output ramp without external components - prevents brownout on shared supply rails during cold cranking or wake-up events. |
| Integrated overtemperature and overcurrent protection | Shuts down at +165°C junction temp with 15°C hysteresis and limits peak current to 0.9–1.1A - protects against sustained overload or PCB thermal failure. |
| Automotive-grade operating range | Validated from -40°C to +125°C ambient - meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for under-dash and engine bay deployments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the MAX20071ATAA/V+?
The MAX20071ATAA/V+ supports up to 600mA of continuous output current. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Electrical Characteristics section, where the MAX20071 variant is explicitly rated for 0.6A (vs. 1.0A for MAX20072). The current-limit threshold is specified as 0.9A to 1.1A, providing headroom for transient peaks while maintaining reliable steady-state operation at 600mA.
Does the MAX20071ATAA/V+ include spread spectrum modulation?
No, the MAX20071ATAA/V+ does not include spread spectrum modulation. According to the Ordering Information table, only variants with "B" or "D" in the suffix (e.g., MAX20071ATAB/V+) feature enabled spread spectrum. The "AA" designation in MAX20071ATAA/V+ indicates the spread spectrum oscillator is disabled, resulting in a fixed 2.2MHz switching frequency without dithering.
How is the output voltage set on the MAX20071ATAA/V+?
The MAX20071ATAA/V+ supports two output configuration methods: factory preset (in 10mV steps, achieving ±1.5% accuracy without external resistors) or resistor-adjustable using the OUT pin and 0.5V internal reference. For adjustable mode, connect a resistive divider from VOUT to OUT to GND, calculating R1 = R2 × ((VOUT/0.5V) − 1), with R2 ≤ 100kΩ.
What is the purpose of the SYNC pin on the MAX20071ATAA/V+?
The SYNC pin on the MAX20071ATAA/V+ selects between two operating modes: grounding or leaving SYNC unconnected enables pulse-skipping mode for high light-load efficiency; tying SYNC to PV or an external clock forces fixed-frequency PWM mode for predictable EMI and low-noise operation. This dual-mode capability allows dynamic optimization based on real-time load conditions.
Is the MAX20071ATAA/V+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX20071ATAA/V+ is automotive-qualified. The "/V" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes AEC-Q100 qualification, and the device is specified to operate from -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its integrated overtemperature shutdown (+165°C), overcurrent protection, and robust 2.2MHz PWM architecture meet stringent automotive reliability and functional safety requirements.
