Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% over 6V–18V input range - guarantees stable logic rail for microcontrollers without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 1.2A continuous - sufficient to power dual-core automotive MCUs and CAN transceivers simultaneously. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V, with 40V load-dump tolerance - survives cold-crank (4.5V) and ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (35V/40V). |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz (typ) - enables use of 4.7µH inductor and compact 22µF ceramic output capacitor, reducing solution size by >40% vs. 500kHz converters. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and transmission-control applications. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown (175°C), overcurrent limit (1.9A typ), short-circuit recovery (7ms restart), and undervoltage lockout (2.73V) - eliminates need for external supervision circuitry. |
| PGOOD Accuracy | Rising threshold at 93.5% VOUT - provides precise power-rail validation for safety-critical boot sequencing in ASIL-B systems. |
Pinout & Package
MAX20076ATCB/V+ is housed in a 3mm × 3mm, 12-pin TDFN package with exposed pad (package code TD1233+2C), RoHS-compliant and automotive-qualified. The exposed pad must be soldered to PGND for thermal performance (θJA = 41°C/W on 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SPS | Spread-spectrum enable | Pull high to reduce EMI radiated emissions by ±6% frequency dither; internal 1MΩ pulldown ensures default disable. |
| 2 EN | High-voltage enable input | Logic-compatible from 0.6V to 36V - accepts direct connection to automotive KEY signal or MCU GPIO without level-shifting. |
| 3 BST | Bootstrap supply for HS gate driver | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX - critical for maintaining high-side FET gate drive during 99% duty-cycle dropout operation. |
| 4 SUP | Main input supply | Accepts 3.5V–36V; requires 4.7µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency ripple from 2.1MHz switching. |
| 5 LX | Switch node | Connects to 4.7µH inductor; internal clamp diodes to PGND/AGND/SUP require careful layout to avoid exceeding package power limits. |
| 6 PGND | Power ground return | Carries high-frequency inductor current - must be connected directly to exposed pad and output capacitor negative terminal. |
| 7 AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate quiet ground for FB, BIAS, and SYNC - joined to PGND only at single point (output capacitor cathode) to prevent noise coupling. |
| 8 FB | Feedback input | Internally tied to BIAS for fixed 3.3V mode; open for resistor-divider configuration - 1µA bias current minimizes divider power loss. |
| 9 OUT | Regulated output sense | Connects to output capacitor (22µF ceramic); bypassed to PGND - serves as voltage sensing point for regulation loop. |
| 10 BIAS | Internal 5V bias supply | Provides 5V for internal circuitry and external pullup for PGOOD; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability. |
| 11 SYNC | Frequency synchronization input | Connect to BIAS to enable internal 2.1MHz clock; accepts external 1.7–2.6MHz clock for system-level timing alignment. |
| 12 PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Active-high signal pulled low when VOUT < 93% nominal - requires external 20kΩ pullup to BIAS or system rail for MCU reset assertion. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX20076ATCB/V+ under full load and temperature range?
The MAX20076ATCB/V+ delivers a fixed 3.3V output with ±2% accuracy across the full operating input range of 6V to 18V, −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, and 0–1.2A load. This specification is production-tested and guaranteed - not just typical - ensuring reliable logic-level compatibility for automotive microcontrollers and interfaces without additional regulation.
Can the MAX20076ATCB/V+ operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes, the MAX20076ATCB/V+ supports cold-crank operation down to 3.5V input with 99% maximum duty cycle. When input drops below the regulation threshold, it maintains 3.3V output by extending on-time - validated for sustained operation at 4.5V input and full 1.2A load, meeting ISO 16750-2 requirements for 12V systems.
Does the MAX20076ATCB/V+ require external compensation components?
No, the MAX20076ATCB/V+ uses an internally compensated current-mode control architecture. It requires no external compensation network - only standard input (4.7µF ceramic), output (22µF ceramic), BST (0.1µF ceramic), and BIAS (1µF ceramic) capacitors. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials, and improves production yield.
How is EMI reduced in the MAX20076ATCB/V+ without compromising efficiency?
The MAX20076ATCB/V+ integrates pin-enabled spread-spectrum modulation (SPS pin) that dithers the 2.1MHz switching frequency by ±6%, lowering peak radiated emissions by up to 10dBµV. This occurs without altering duty cycle or efficiency - unlike frequency hopping or burst mode - preserving FPWM performance while easing CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance.
What is the role of the PGOOD signal in system-level power sequencing for the MAX20076ATCB/V+?
The PGOOD signal on the MAX20076ATCB/V+ is an open-drain output that asserts high only when VOUT reaches ≥93.5% of 3.3V and remains stable. With 65µs internal debounce, it reliably signals microcontroller reset release after power stabilization - eliminating need for external supervisors in ASIL-B compliant boot sequences.
