Product details
Overview
MAX20071ATAA/V+T from Analog Devices is a 600mA, 2.2MHz 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 with ±1.5% accuracy, and features enable input, PGOOD output, and fixed 0.85ms soft-start-designed for automotive point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20071ATAA/V+T datasheet, MAX20071ATAA/V+T pinout, MAX20071ATAA/V+T application, or MAX20071ATAA/V+T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, synchronization modes (PWM/skip), current-limit thresholds, and layout-critical pin functions including LX, PGND, and exposed-pad grounding requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX20071ATAA/V+T employs current-mode control with internal high-side (80–300mΩ) and low-side (50–200mΩ) MOSFETs, enabling stable operation across -40°C to +125°C ambient. Its 2.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM architecture supports all-ceramic designs and allows external synchronization or spread-spectrum operation (±3%).
It integrates UVLO (2.4–2.55V rising), overtemperature shutdown (165°C), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (0.9–1.1A). The device supports both factory-preset and resistor-adjustable outputs via a 0.5V internal reference, with PGOOD monitoring ±7% output deviation and 50µs hold time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 600mA maximum continuous - sufficient for microcontroller core rails and automotive sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V/5V system rails and automotive battery transients. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz (±10%) - enables compact 2.2µH inductors and all-ceramic 4.7µF/10µF input/output capacitors. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over line, load, and temperature - eliminates need for 0.1% external resistors in fixed-output configurations. |
| Soft-Start Time | Fixed 0.85ms - limits inrush current during power-up without requiring external components. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C junction with 15°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking. |
| PGOOD Threshold | ±7% output deviation with 50µs active hold - ensures reliable system power sequencing and fault detection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TDFN-EP (2mm × 2mm × 0.85mm) with exposed pad (EP) thermally connected to PGND. RoHS-compliant, automotive-qualified (AEC-Q100 Grade 1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AV | Analog supply rail | Separate low-noise analog supply input; requires 1µF capacitor + 10Ω series resistor to PV for EMI suppression. |
| 2 SYNC | Synchronization control | Drives forced-PWM mode when pulled high to PV; enables skip mode when grounded or floating - no external clock required. |
| 3 PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for high-current switching loops; must be tied directly to EP and system GND plane. |
| 4 PV | Main power input | 3.0–5.5V supply input; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for transient current handling. |
| 5 PG | Open-drain power-good signal | Active-low status flag with 50µs hold time after regulation recovery; requires external pullup ≥2kΩ to I/O rail. |
| 6 LX | Switch node | Connection to inductor's switched side; carries high dv/dt and peak currents - shortest possible trace length critical. |
| 7 EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (VIH = 1.5V min); initiates 0.85ms soft-start on rising edge and full shutdown on falling edge. |
| 8 OUT | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider (0.5V reference) for adjustable output; or directly to output capacitor in factory-preset mode. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to PGND; requires ≥3 vias (0.3mm) to inner ground planes for thermal dissipation (θJA = 85.3°C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-mode PWM control | Enables fast transient response and inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting without external sensing. |
| Factory-preset or resistor-adjustable output | Supports ±1.5% accuracy at 0.5V–3.8V without precision resistors; uses internal 0.5V reference for external feedback. |
| Integrated thermal and overcurrent protection | Shuts down at 165°C junction and limits peak current to 0.9–1.1A - prevents damage during short-circuit or overload. |
| Ultra-small 2mm × 2mm footprint | Reduces board area by >50% vs. comparable SOIC-8 regulators; enables dense automotive ADAS and infotainment layouts. |
| Automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C) | Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1; validated for under-hood and dashboard environments with full parametric performance. |
Applications
| ADAS Camera Power Rail | Infotainment SoC Core Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62840DLCR | Lower quiescent current (300nA), 1.8–5.5V input, but only 600mA output and no PGOOD or SYNC pin. | Limited to ultra-low-power always-on subsystems; lacks automotive qualification and diagnostic signaling. | Select when lowest IQ dominates over diagnostics and thermal robustness - not drop-in for MAX20071ATAA/V+T. |
| MPQ4420AGL-A-Z | Higher output current (2A), wider input (4–36V), but larger 3mm × 4mm QFN and no spread spectrum or automotive grade. | Suitable for industrial 12V/24V systems; incompatible with automotive thermal and EMI requirements. | Choose for higher-power non-automotive applications where size and qualification are secondary to current capability. |
Compared with TPS62840DLCR and MPQ4420AGL-A-Z, the MAX20071ATAA/V+T uniquely balances automotive qualification, compact 2mm × 2mm footprint, integrated PGOOD/SYNC, and ±1.5% accuracy - making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-aware vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current rating of the MAX20071ATAA/V+T?
The MAX20071ATAA/V+T is rated for up to 600mA continuous output current. This value is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Electrical Characteristics section under "Current-Limit Threshold" (ILIM = 0.9–1.1A typical), with thermal derating applied above ambient temperatures exceeding +70°C. The MAX20071ATAA/V+T is distinct from the 1A-rated MAX20072 variants.
Does the MAX20071ATAA/V+T support external synchronization?
Yes, the MAX20071ATAA/V+T supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin. When driven high (to PV or an external clock source), it forces fixed-frequency PWM operation at 2.2MHz. When grounded or left floating, it enters pulse-skipping mode for improved light-load efficiency - both modes are fully supported without hardware modification.
What is the purpose of the AV pin on the MAX20071ATAA/V+T?
The AV pin on the MAX20071ATAA/V+T provides a dedicated low-noise analog supply for internal reference and control circuitry. It must be connected to PV through a 10Ω resistor and decoupled with a 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND. This separation minimizes noise coupling from high-current PV switching into sensitive analog blocks, improving output voltage stability and PGOOD accuracy.
Can the MAX20071ATAA/V+T operate without external feedback resistors?
Yes, the MAX20071ATAA/V+T can operate without external feedback resistors when configured as a factory-preset device. In that mode, the OUT pin connects directly to the output capacitor, and the output voltage is trimmed at wafer level in 10mV steps to achieve ±1.5% accuracy - eliminating the need for precision external resistors in fixed-voltage applications.
Is the MAX20071ATAA/V+T qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MAX20071ATAA/V+T is automotive-qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, with guaranteed operation from -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. The "/V+" suffix explicitly denotes automotive qualification and RoHS compliance, and the device includes built-in protections (overtemperature, overcurrent, UVLO) required for under-hood and cabin-mounted vehicle electronics.
