Product details
Overview
MAX20076EATCB/VY+ 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, 3.5µA quiescent current in standby mode, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power rails. It delivers regulated 3.3V at up to 1.2A from 3.5V–36V input, supporting load-dump transients up to 40V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20076EATCB/VY+ datasheet, MAX20076EATCB/VY+ pinout, MAX20076EATCB/VY+ application, or MAX20076EATCB/VY+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed 3.3V fixed-output behavior, AEC-Q100 compliance status, and real-world EMI mitigation via spread-spectrum enable (SPS pin).
Technical Context
This device implements current-mode control with 20ns minimum on-time, enabling direct step-down from automotive battery (e.g., 12V or 24V) to sub-3V rails without cascaded conversion. Its 99% maximum duty cycle supports operation in dropout, while internal soft-start (2.5ms typ) and PGOOD monitoring simplify power sequencing in safety-critical systems.
The IC integrates a 5V BIAS LDO, uses an exposed-pad 12-pin TDFN package (3mm × 3mm), and features dual-mode operation: skip mode (EN high, SYNC grounded) for ultra-low IQ at light loads, and forced-PWM mode (SYNC tied to BIAS) for constant-frequency EMI control. Spread-spectrum modulation (±6% around 2.1MHz) is enabled via the SPS pin.

Pinout & Package
MAX20076EATCB/VY+ uses a 12-pin side-wettable TDFN package (package code TD1233Y+2C, outline 21-100176) with exposed thermal pad connected to PGND. Pin numbering follows standard TDFN top-view layout (pin 1 = SPS, pin 12 = PGOOD, EP = exposed pad).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SPS) | Spread-spectrum enable input | Logic-high enables ±6% frequency dithering to reduce EMI peaks; internal 1MΩ pulldown ensures default disable |
| 2 (EN) | High-voltage enable input | Active-high, compatible with 3.3V logic or automotive battery; no internal pullup/pulldown preserves ultra-low IQ |
| 3 (BST) | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate driver | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX; enables efficient high-side FET drive without external charge pump |
| 4 (SUP) | Main input supply rail | Accepts 3.5V–36V; requires 4.7µF ceramic bypass to PGND; handles 40V transient surges |
| 5 (LX) | Switch node | Connects to 4.7µH inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; internal clamp diodes protect against inductive kickback |
| 6 (PGND) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high-current switch node and input/output capacitors; separate from AGND |
| 7 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Return for FB, SYNC, PGOOD, and bias circuitry; must be star-connected to PGND at single point |
| 8 (FB) | Feedback voltage sense | Internally tied to BIAS for fixed 3.3V output; externally configurable for 1V–10V using resistor divider |
| 9 (OUT) | Regulated output voltage | 3.3V output node; bypassed with 22µF ceramic capacitor to PGND; monitored by PGOOD |
| 10 (BIAS) | Internal 5V LDO output | Supplies internal circuitry; requires ≥1µF ceramic cap to AGND; powers SYNC/SPS logic when not in standby |
| 11 (SYNC) | Mode selection and synchronization input | Ground = skip mode; BIAS = forced PWM; open = skip mode; internal 1MΩ pulldown ensures defined state |
| 12 (PGOOD) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Active-high signal asserting VOUT ≥93.5% of nominal; requires external 20kΩ pullup; debounced 6ms for rising edge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20076DATCB/V+ | Same 3.3V fixed output, identical 12-pin TDFN package, but rated for −40°C to +105°C (not AEC-Q100 qualified) | Targeted at industrial or commercial systems without automotive qualification requirements | Select MAX20076DATCB/V+ only if AEC-Q100 is not mandated and ambient temperature stays ≤+105°C |
| LM61480QRTWRQ1 | Texas Instruments' AEC-Q100 Grade 1 3.3V 1.5A buck; 2.1MHz fixed freq; 4.5µA IQ; different pinout and 16-pin WQFN package | Offers higher current and integrated compensation, but requires PCB redesign due to non-pin-compatible layout | Choose LM61480QRTWRQ1 when >1.2A output or enhanced fault diagnostics (e.g., thermal foldback) are required |
Compared with MAX20076DATCB/V+, the MAX20076EATCB/VY+ adds AEC-Q100 qualification and extended +125°C operation, making it suitable for under-hood deployment; versus LM61480QRTWRQ1, it offers smaller footprint and lower IQ but lacks built-in current-sense amplifiers and thermal warning flags.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX20076EATCB/VY+ deliver?
The MAX20076EATCB/VY+ delivers a factory-trimmed fixed 3.3V output with ±2% accuracy over the 6V–18V input range. This is explicitly confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for "MAX20075/76DATCB/V+, MAX20076EATCB/VY+" under VOUT,3.3V. The FB pin is internally connected to BIAS to enable this fixed setting.
Is the MAX20076EATCB/VY+ AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, the MAX20076EATCB/VY+ is AEC-Q100 qualified per Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient). This qualification is stated in the Benefits and Features section and reinforced by its inclusion in the "Automotive" application category and specification of 40V load-dump protection - both hallmarks of automotive-grade devices.
What is the quiescent current of the MAX20076EATCB/VY+ at no load?
The MAX20076EATCB/VY+ draws 3.5µA typical quiescent current at no load in standby mode, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Supply Current" for "MAX20075/76DATCB/V+, MAX20076EATCB/VY+, no load, no switching". This ultra-low IQ enables energy-efficient always-on functionality.
Which package does the MAX20076EATCB/VY+ use?
The MAX20076EATCB/VY+ uses a 12-pin side-wettable TDFN package (3mm × 3mm) with exposed thermal pad, identified by package code TD1233Y+2C and outline number 21-100176. This package supports automated optical inspection and superior thermal performance in high-power-density automotive layouts.
How does the MAX20076EATCB/VY+ handle input voltage dropout conditions?
The MAX20076EATCB/VY+ supports dropout operation up to 99% duty cycle. When input voltage drops near VOUT, the high-side FET is turned off every 20µs and low-side FET activated for ~200ns to recharge the BST capacitor - sustaining gate drive and maintaining regulation down to ~6V input for 3.3V output.
