Product details
Overview
MAX20076ATCB/V+T from Analog Devices is a 36V-input, 1.2A synchronous buck converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, fixed 3.3V output (±2% accuracy), 2.1MHz switching frequency, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power rails. It operates from 3.5V to 36V input, supports 99% dropout duty cycle, and delivers stable 3.3V at up to 1.2A for infotainment and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20076ATCB/V+T datasheet, MAX20076ATCB/V+T pinout, MAX20076ATCB/V+T application, or MAX20076ATCB/V+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V fixed output accuracy, 20ns minimum on-time enabling 3.3V from 36V input, spread-spectrum EMI reduction via SPS pin, PGOOD monitoring, and side-wettable TDFN-EP package for automated optical inspection in automotive PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This current-mode-controlled buck regulator uses internal slope compensation and fixed-frequency PWM (FPWM-only operation) to achieve tight regulation across wide input ranges. Its 20ns minimum on-time enables direct 3.3V conversion from automotive battery transients up to 40V, eliminating cascaded converters for low-voltage rails.
The device integrates 300mΩ high-side and 200mΩ low-side MOSFETs, features programmable soft-start (2.5ms), 40V load-dump protection, and thermal shutdown at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis - all optimized for under-hood automotive environments operating from −40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% over 6V–18V input range; ensures stable MCU core supply without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 1.2A continuous; sufficient for powering dual-core microcontrollers or CAN/FlexRay transceivers in body control modules. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V, with 40V transient tolerance; survives cold-crank (3.5V) and load-dump (40V) events per ISO 7637-2. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz (typ); enables use of compact 4.7µH inductors and 22µF ceramic output capacitors, minimizing solution footprint. |
| Minimum On-Time | 66ns (typ); allows direct 3.3V regulation from 36V input (duty cycle ≈ 9.2%), avoiding two-stage conversion. |
| PGOOD Accuracy | Rising threshold at 93.5% VOUT (3.12V); provides precise power-rail validation before system boot sequence proceeds. |

Pinout & Package
MAX20076ATCB/V+T is housed in a 3mm × 3mm, 12-pin side-wettable TDFN package (package code TD1233Y+2C) with exposed pad (EP) for enhanced thermal dissipation. The EP must be soldered to PGND plane using ≥4 thermal vias for junction-to-board θJB = 9°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SPS | Spread-spectrum enable | Logic-high enables ±6% frequency modulation to reduce peak EMI emissions; internal 1MΩ pulldown ensures default disable. |
| 2 EN | High-voltage enable | Accepts 0–36V logic; no internal pullup/pulldown; enables direct connection to automotive KEY signal or 3.3V MCU GPIO. |
| 3 BST | Bootstrap capacitor node | Requires 0.1µF ceramic cap to LX; sustains gate drive for high-side FET during continuous conduction in dropout mode. |
| 4 SUP | Main supply input | 3.5–36V input; bypass with 4.7µF ceramic cap to PGND; handles high di/dt ripple current during switching. |
| 5 LX | Switching node | Connects to 4.7µH inductor; internal clamp diodes to PGND/AGND/SUP require careful layout to avoid exceeding power limits. |
| 6 PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high-current switching loops; must be separated from AGND except at single-point OUT capacitor return. |
| 7 AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, PGOOD, and internal bias; connects to PGND only at OUT capacitor cathode to prevent noise coupling. |
| 8 FB | Feedback input | Internally tied to BIAS for fixed 3.3V output; open for resistor-divider configuration (1V–10V range). |
| 9 OUT | Regulated output | 3.3V output node; bypass with 22µF ceramic cap to PGND; serves as voltage sense point for feedback loop. |
| 10 BIAS | Internal 5V bias rail | Supplies internal circuitry; requires 1µF ceramic cap to AGND; used as pullup for PGOOD and reference for FB in fixed-output mode. |
| 11 SYNC | Sync clock input | Connect to BIAS to enable internal 2.1MHz oscillator; accepts external 1.7–2.6MHz clock for system-level synchronization. |
| 12 PGOOD | Open-drain power-good | Active-high signal pulled low when VOUT < 3.12V; requires external 20kΩ pullup to BIAS or system rail for sequenced startup. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20076ATCA/V+T | Fixed 5V output instead of 3.3V; identical package, pinout, and specs otherwise. | Used where 5V logic rails or USB peripherals require primary regulation. | Select MAX20076ATCA/V+T only if system architecture mandates 5V; MAX20076ATCB/V+T is optimal for 3.3V FPGA/MCU cores. |
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3V–17V input, 3A output, 2.5MHz switching; not AEC-Q100 qualified; no 40V load-dump protection. | Suitable for industrial or consumer applications with benign input conditions and lower reliability requirements. | Choose TPS62130ARGTR only for non-automotive designs; MAX20076ATCB/V+T remains mandatory for automotive safety-critical systems. |
Compared with MAX20076ATCA/V+T, this part offers tighter alignment with 3.3V digital rail requirements, while versus TPS62130ARGTR it provides essential automotive robustness - including load-dump survival, extended temperature range, and AEC-Q100 certification - that cannot be retrofitted in system design.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX20076ATCB/V+T can withstand during load-dump events?
The MAX20076ATCB/V+T is rated for 40V transient input voltage per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, with guaranteed operation up to 36V continuous. This allows it to survive automotive load-dump events without external TVS clamping, reducing system cost and board space. The device enters safe shutdown if junction temperature exceeds 175°C during sustained overload, and automatically recovers after cooling.
Does the MAX20076ATCB/V+T support adjustable output voltages, or is it fixed at 3.3V only?
The MAX20076ATCB/V+T is factory-trimmed for fixed 3.3V output with ±2% accuracy across temperature and line/load. While the MAX20076 family supports external resistor-divider programming (1V–10V), this specific variant (ATCB/V+T) is configured for 3.3V only - connecting FB to BIAS activates the internal reference. Using an external divider voids the output accuracy guarantee.
How does the spread-spectrum feature (SPS pin) affect EMI performance of the MAX20076ATCB/V+T?
When the SPS pin is driven high, the MAX20076ATCB/V+T modulates its 2.1MHz switching frequency by ±6%, spreading energy across a 252kHz bandwidth. This reduces peak radiated emissions by up to 10dBµV in CISPR 25 testing, helping meet Class 5 limits without added filtering. The modulation is disabled by default (SPS pulldown) and does not interfere with SYNC pin operation.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for the exposed pad (EP) of the MAX20076ATCB/V+T?
The exposed pad of the MAX20076ATCB/V+T must be soldered to a solid PGND copper plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) placed within the pad boundary. The pad should connect exclusively to PGND - not AGND - and tie to the output capacitor's PGND terminal to minimize ground bounce. This achieves θJC = 9°C/W and prevents thermal derating above 70°C ambient.
Can the MAX20076ATCB/V+T operate in skip mode to improve light-load efficiency?
No - the MAX20076ATCB/V+T is specified for Forced-PWM (FPWM) operation only. Skip mode is not supported; attempting light-load operation outside FPWM may cause instability or violate output voltage accuracy. For skip-mode applications, Analog Devices recommends the MAX20076D variants (e.g., MAX20076DATCB/V+T), which are functionally distinct and not pin-compatible with MAX20076ATCB/V+T.
