Product details
Overview
MAX20077ATCE/VY+ from Analog Devices is a synchronous buck DC-DC converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 2.0A output current across a 3.5V–36V input range while consuming only 3.5µA quiescent current at no load. It operates at a fixed 400kHz switching frequency, supports 1V–10V programmable output via external resistor divider, and features ±1.5% feedback accuracy and 99% maximum duty cycle for automotive dropout operation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20077ATCE/VY+ datasheet, MAX20077ATCE/VY+ pinout, MAX20077ATCE/VY+ application, or MAX20077ATCE/VY+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade protection features (40V load-dump, -40°C to +125°C operation), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for 400kHz, 2A buck applications.
Technical Context
The MAX20077ATCE/VY+ implements current-mode control with internal slope compensation and fixed 400kHz oscillator-no external synchronization required unless forced PWM mode is needed. Its 20ns minimum on-time enables direct step-down from 36V input to sub-3V outputs without cascaded stages.
It integrates a 5V bias LDO, PGOOD open-drain monitor with 92–94% threshold hysteresis, spread-spectrum enable (SPS), and thermal shutdown at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis. Protection includes overcurrent limiting at 2.9A (±12%), short-circuit recovery with 7ms soft-start retry, and 40V transient tolerance on SUP.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2.0A continuous-supports automotive infotainment and ADAS modules requiring stable 2A at 5V/3.3V or adjustable rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V-covers cold-crank (4.5V) to load-dump (40V transient) in 12V/24V automotive systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 400kHz (typ)-optimized for high efficiency and low switching loss; eliminates AM band interference. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA at no load-enables always-on functionality in vehicle body control units without battery drain. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1.5% FB voltage accuracy (1.0V ±15mV)-ensures tight regulation for sensitive microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Minimum On-Time | 20ns-allows 36V-to-1.8V conversion in single stage, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99%-maintains regulation during automotive dropout conditions (e.g., engine cranking at 6V). |
| Thermal Rating | AEC-Q100 qualified, -40°C to +125°C ambient-validated for under-hood and powertrain environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX20077ATCE/VY+ is housed in a 3mm × 3mm, 12-pin side-wettable TDFN package (package code TD1233Y+3C) with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. The package supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SPS | Spread-spectrum enable | Logic-high enables ±3% frequency modulation to reduce EMI peak emissions; internal 1MΩ pulldown ensures default disable. |
| 2 EN | High-voltage enable input | Accepts 0–40V logic; activates regulator when pulled >2.4V; zero leakage preserves ultra-low IQ. |
| 3 BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate driver | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX; sustains gate drive during 99% duty-cycle dropout operation. |
| 4 SUP | Main power input | 3.5–36V supply rail; requires 4.7µF ceramic bypass to PGND; withstands 40V transients. |
| 5 LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; high dv/dt node-requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| 6 PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high-current switching loops; must be separated from AGND except at single-point tie. |
| 7 AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, PGOOD, SYNC, SPS; connects to PCB ground plane but isolated from noisy PGND paths. |
| 8 FB | Feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; 1.0V ±15mV reference enables precise 1V–10V programming. |
| 9 OUT | Regulated output connection | High-current output node; bypassed with ≥44µF total effective capacitance per datasheet Table 2. |
| 10 BIAS | Internal 5V bias supply | Provides regulated 5V for internal circuitry and optional PGOOD pullup; requires 1µF ceramic to AGND. |
| 11 SYNC | Mode select/synchronization | Ground or open = skip mode; tied to BIAS = forced PWM; internal 1MΩ pulldown ensures default skip mode. |
| 12 PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Signals valid regulation (92–94% of VOUT); requires external 20kΩ pullup to BIAS or system rail. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX20077ATCE/VY+?
The MAX20077ATCE/VY+ delivers up to 2.0A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ +125°C, proper thermal layout). Its overcurrent limit is specified at 2.9A (±12%) with automatic hiccup-mode recovery on sustained overload, ensuring reliability in automotive load-dump scenarios where the MAX20077ATCE/VY+ remains within safe operating area.
Does the MAX20077ATCE/VY+ support fixed-output voltage configurations?
Yes, the MAX20077ATCE/VY+ supports both fixed and adjustable outputs. When FB is connected directly to BIAS, it delivers factory-trimmed 5V or 3.3V. For other voltages, an external resistor divider from OUT to FB sets 1V–10V output with ±1.5% feedback accuracy-confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX20077ATCE/VY+ under VFB = 1.0V ±15mV.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the MAX20077ATCE/VY+ use?
The MAX20077ATCE/VY+ uses a 3mm × 3mm, 12-pin side-wettable TDFN package (TD1233Y+3C) with exposed pad. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 41°C/W and θJC = 9°C/W on a four-layer board. This enables operation up to +125°C ambient with appropriate copper pour-verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Thermal Protection sections of the datasheet.
How does the MAX20077ATCE/VY+ achieve ultra-low quiescent current?
The MAX20077ATCE/VY+ achieves 3.5µA quiescent current by entering standby mode automatically when load falls below ~5mA: internal circuitry (except essential regulation blocks) powers down, and the high-side FET remains off for eight consecutive clock cycles. This behavior is explicitly documented for MAX20077ATCE/VY+ in the Detailed Description section under "Achieving High Efficiency at Light Loads".
Is the MAX20077ATCE/VY+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX20077ATCE/VY+ is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C ambient), includes 40V load-dump protection, operates from 3.5V to 36V, and features thermal shutdown at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis-all confirmed in the Applications, Absolute Maximum Ratings, and Detailed Description sections of the official Analog Devices datasheet.
