Product details
Overview
MAX20077ATCB/VY+ from Analog Devices is a synchronous buck converter IC with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 2.5A output current from a 3.5V–36V input. It features 3.5µA quiescent current in standby mode, ±2% output voltage accuracy (3.3V fixed option), and 2.1MHz switching frequency-enabling compact automotive power rails for ADAS sensors and infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20077ATCB/VY+ datasheet, MAX20077ATCB/VY+ pinout, MAX20077ATCB/VY+ application, or MAX20077ATCB/VY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 65ns minimum on-time, 99% dropout duty cycle, AEC-Q100 qualification, 40V load-dump protection, and side-wettable 12-pin TDFN package for automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
The MAX20077ATCB/VY+ implements current-mode control with internal slope compensation and no external compensation required. Its 2.1MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation ensures AM-band immunity and supports small 2.2µH inductors and ceramic input/output capacitors.
It operates in forced-PWM (FPWM) or skip mode depending on SYNC pin state, with PGOOD monitoring output regulation and SPS enabling ±3% spread-spectrum modulation to reduce EMI peak emissions without affecting SYNC-synchronized operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2.5A continuous - supports single-rail powering of automotive microcontrollers and camera modules |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - accommodates cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (40V transient) conditions per ISO 7637-2 |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA at no load - enables >10-year battery standby in always-on vehicle modules |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz (typ) - allows use of sub-3mm inductors and avoids AM radio band (0.53–1.71MHz) |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% at 3.3V in FPWM mode - meets tight tolerance requirements for FPGA I/O and sensor analog supplies |
| Min On-Time | 65ns (typ) - enables direct 3.3V regulation from 36V input without pre-regulator stage |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - sustains regulation during automotive dropout (e.g., 5.5V input → 3.3V out) |
Pinout & Package
MAX20077ATCB/VY+ uses a 3mm × 3mm, 12-pin side-wettable TDFN package with exposed thermal pad (package code TD1233Y+2C), optimized for reflow soldering and automated optical inspection in automotive PCB assembly.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20077ATCA/VY+ | Same 2.5A rating and 2.1MHz frequency, but configured for 5V fixed output instead of 3.3V | Used where 5V logic rails (e.g., USB PHY, SDIO) require tighter regulation than LDOs can provide | Select when system requires 5V output with identical thermal and layout footprint |
| TPS62933RTER | 3A output, 4.2V–18V input, 1.8MHz switching, 1.2µA IQ - lower IQ but narrower VIN range and no AEC-Q100 rating | Suitable for non-automotive industrial or consumer portable devices with strict battery-life targets | Choose only for non-automotive designs where 40V transient immunity and AEC-Q100 are not required |
Compared with MAX20077ATCA/VY+, the MAX20077ATCB/VY+ provides identical performance with factory-trimmed 3.3V output, while the TPS62933RTER trades automotive robustness for ultra-low IQ in less demanding environments.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX20077ATCB/VY+ deliver?
The MAX20077ATCB/VY+ is factory-trimmed for a fixed 3.3V output voltage with ±2% accuracy in forced-PWM mode. It does not require external resistors-FB is internally connected to BIAS. This 3.3V rail is optimized for automotive microcontrollers, sensors, and communication interfaces requiring tight regulation and low noise.
Does the MAX20077ATCB/VY+ support AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes, the MAX20077ATCB/VY+ is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient). It meets automotive reliability standards including 40V load-dump immunity, thermal shutdown at 175°C, and operation across full battery voltage range (3.5V–36V), making it suitable for front-end power in ADAS and body control modules.
What is the minimum on-time specification for the MAX20077ATCB/VY+?
The MAX20077ATCB/VY+ has a typical minimum on-time of 65ns. This enables direct regulation of 3.3V output from high-input conditions (e.g., 36V battery) without requiring a pre-regulator stage-reducing bill-of-materials count and board space in automotive applications.
How does the MAX20077ATCB/VY+ manage EMI in sensitive automotive environments?
The MAX20077ATCB/VY+ reduces radiated EMI through three mechanisms: 2.1MHz fixed-frequency operation (outside AM band), optional ±3% spread-spectrum modulation via the SPS pin, and integrated synchronous FETs eliminating external gate-drive noise. These features collectively meet CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements without added shielding or filtering.
Can the MAX20077ATCB/VY+ operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes, the MAX20077ATCB/VY+ operates down to 3.5V input and supports 99% duty cycle, enabling continuous regulation during cold-crank events where battery voltage drops to ~4.5V. Its undervoltage lockout (2.73V typ) ensures reliable startup once voltage recovers, and PGOOD provides sequenced enablement to downstream processors.
