Product details
Overview
MAX20071ATAB/V+T from Analog Devices is a 600mA, 2.2MHz automotive-grade step-down DC-DC converter in an 8-pin TDFN-EP package. It delivers regulated output from 0.5V to 3.8V with ±1.5% accuracy over load, line, and temperature, operates from 3.0V–5.5V input, and integrates PGOOD, enable, and spread-spectrum oscillator for EMI reduction-used in automotive point-of-load power rails for ADAS sensors and infotainment SoCs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20071ATAB/V+T datasheet, MAX20071ATAB/V+T pinout, MAX20071ATAB/V+T application, or MAX20071ATAB/V+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600mA current rating, factory-enabled spread-spectrum operation, -40°C to +125°C AEC-Q100 qualified operation, 0.85ms soft-start, and compatibility with all-ceramic capacitor designs at 2.2MHz switching frequency.
Technical Context
The MAX20071ATAB/V+T employs current-mode PWM control with fixed 2.2MHz switching frequency and integrated high-side (80–300mΩ) and low-side (50–200mΩ) MOSFETs. Its architecture supports both forced-PWM and pulse-skipping modes via SYNC pin control, enabling dynamic efficiency optimization across load ranges.
It features a 0.5V internal reference, factory-trimmed output voltage (adjustable variant), 107% OV / 93% UV monitoring on PGOOD, and thermal shutdown at +165°C with 15°C hysteresis-designed specifically for automotive post-regulation where compact size, high reliability, and EMI robustness are mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 600mA maximum continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, camera ISPs, and CAN transceivers in automotive ECUs. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz ±10% - enables use of sub-2.2µH inductors and all-ceramic output capacitors, minimizing board area. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V/5V automotive supply rails and battery-backed systems after LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over load, line, and temperature - eliminates need for external 0.1% feedback resistors in production designs. |
| Soft-Start Time | Fixed 0.85ms - limits inrush current during power-up, preventing brownout in shared supply domains. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C ambient - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and cabin-mounted electronics. |
| Spread Spectrum | Enabled (±3% frequency dither) - reduces peak EMI by spreading spectral energy, easing CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TDFN-EP (2mm × 2mm × 0.85mm) with exposed pad thermally connected to GND. RoHS-compliant, automotive-qualified (AEC-Q100).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AV | Analog supply | Noise-filtered bias rail for internal reference and error amplifier; requires 1µF ceramic cap + 10Ω series resistor to PV. |
| 2 SYNC | Mode control input | Drives forced-PWM (high) or pulse-skipping (low/floating); enables dynamic efficiency tuning without firmware change. |
| 3 PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high di/dt switch node current; must be tied directly to EP and system GND plane. |
| 4 PV | Main power input | 3.0–5.5V supply input; requires ≥4.7µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for high-frequency decoupling. |
| 5 PG | Open-drain PGOOD | Active-low status flag asserting after 10µs delay when output deviates >7%; requires external pullup ≥2kΩ. |
| 6 LX | Switch node | Connection to inductor's switched side; carries high dv/dt pulses; must be routed short and wide to minimize EMI. |
| 7 EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control (VIH = 1.5V min); initiates 0.85ms soft-start on rising edge, full shutdown on falling edge. |
| 8 OUT | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider (0.5V internal reference) for adjustable output; tied directly to output cap in fixed-voltage variants. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to GND; requires ≥3 thermal vias to inner ground planes for junction-to-ambient θJA = 85.3°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Spread-spectrum oscillator | ±3% frequency dither enabled - reduces conducted and radiated EMI peaks without altering loop dynamics. |
| Factory-trimmed output | Configured as adjustable variant with 0.5V reference - supports customer-defined VOUT from 0.5V to ~PV–0.5V using two external resistors. |
| Current-mode control | Internal slope compensation and cycle-by-cycle current limiting - ensures stable operation with wide inductor/ESR ranges and fast transient response. |
| Thermal protection | 165°C shutdown with 15°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor heatsinking in confined enclosures. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliant (/V suffix) - validated for -40°C to +125°C operation with robust HTOL, TC, and ESD performance. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20072ATAB/V+ | 1A output current, factory-set 1.2V output, same spread-spectrum and package | Higher current capacity; fixed 1.2V output eliminates external resistors but lacks adjustability | Select when design requires >600mA or standardized 1.2V rail without feedback network. |
| TPS62840DLCR | 600mA, 1.8–5.5V input, 0.6–3.3V output, 2.25MHz, no spread spectrum, lower IQ (300nA) | Optimized for ultra-low-power always-on circuits; lacks automotive qualification and PGOOD | Select for non-automotive portable or IoT applications prioritizing standby current over EMI robustness. |
Compared with MAX20072ATAB/V+, the MAX20071ATAB/V+T offers lower current but retains full adjustability and identical EMI mitigation; versus TPS62840DLCR, it trades ultra-low IQ for AEC-Q100 compliance, PGOOD, and spread-spectrum-making it suitable only for automotive environments demanding functional safety and EMC rigor.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX20071ATAB/V+T?
The MAX20071ATAB/V+T delivers up to 600mA of continuous output current. This rating is validated across the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and accounts for thermal derating in the 8-pin TDFN-EP package. The device includes overcurrent limiting that clamps peak inductor current to protect against short-circuit events without latch-up.
Does the MAX20071ATAB/V+T support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the MAX20071ATAB/V+T is the adjustable-output variant of the MAX20071 family. It uses an internal 0.5V reference and accepts an external resistor divider on the OUT pin to set VOUT anywhere from 0.5V to approximately PV–0.5V. The ordering code "ATAB" confirms this configuration, distinguishing it from fixed-output versions like MAX20072ATAB/V+ (1.2V).
Is spread-spectrum operation enabled by default on the MAX20071ATAB/V+T?
Yes, spread-spectrum operation is factory-enabled on the MAX20071ATAB/V+T, as indicated by the "B" in the part number suffix (ATAB). It modulates the 2.2MHz switching frequency by ±3% pseudo-randomly to reduce electromagnetic interference peaks-critical for passing CISPR 25 Class 5 emissions testing in automotive applications.
What is the purpose of the AV pin on the MAX20071ATAB/V+T?
The AV pin on the MAX20071ATAB/V+T supplies clean analog bias to the internal reference, error amplifier, and PWM comparator. It must be decoupled with a 1µF ceramic capacitor and isolated from noisy PV via a 10Ω series resistor. Proper AV routing minimizes noise coupling into the feedback path, preserving output voltage accuracy and loop stability.
How does the PGOOD output function on the MAX20071ATAB/V+T?
The PGOOD (PG) output on the MAX20071ATAB/V+T is an open-drain signal that asserts LOW when the regulated output deviates more than +7% (OV) or –7% (UV) from target. After returning within tolerance, it remains LOW for 50µs hold time. An external pullup resistor ≥2kΩ is required to interface with system supervisors or microcontroller GPIOs for power sequencing validation.
