Product details
Overview
MAX20410AFOB/VY+T from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade, fully integrated 36V synchronous buck converter delivering up to 10A output current with 10μA quiescent current in skip mode, 2.1MHz/400kHz selectable switching frequency, and dual-phase capability for 20A systems - deployed in ADAS power rails and infotainment domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20410AFOB/VY+T datasheet, MAX20410AFOB/VY+T pinout, MAX20410AFOB/VY+T application, or MAX20410AFOB/VY+T equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, ±1% output voltage accuracy (E-version), 34ns minimum on-time, 99% dropout duty cycle, and FC2QFN-17 thermal performance in automotive 12V/24V systems.
Technical Context
The MAX20410AFOB/VY+T implements average current-mode control with internal high-side (25mΩ typ) and low-side (12mΩ typ) MOSFETs, enabling stable regulation across 3.0V–36V input and 0.8V–10V adjustable output. Its 34ns minimum on-time supports high step-down ratios (e.g., 24V→3.3V at 2.1MHz) without pulse-skipping instability.
Dual-phase operation is implemented via SYNCOUT-to-SYNC interconnection between controller and target ICs, enforcing 180° phase shift and dynamic current sharing. The PGOOD signal provides windowed monitoring (102.75%–107.25% rising / 101.75%–106.25% falling thresholds) per AEC-Q100-compliant fault detection requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 36V - supports cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (42V transient) conditions in automotive 12V/24V systems. |
| Max Output Current | 10A - delivered continuously at TJ ≤ +125°C with thermally enhanced FC2QFN-17 package (θJB = 9.9°C/W on 4-layer EV kit). |
| Quiescent Current | 10μA in skip mode - enables always-on subsystems (e.g., body ECU wake-up logic) to meet ISO 16750-2 sleep current limits. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz or 400kHz - 2.1MHz enables <1μH inductors and <10μF ceramic output capacitance; 400kHz optimizes efficiency at medium loads. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable ADC reference, sensor biasing, and MCU core voltage compliance in ADAS cameras. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - maintains regulation during battery brownout (e.g., 6V input → 5V output) without dropout failure. |
| PGOOD Window | 102.75%–107.25% (rising), 101.75%–106.25% (falling) - tighter than standard 90–110% windows, meeting ASIL-B diagnostic coverage for power rail monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
MAX20410AFOB/VY+T uses a thermally optimized 3.5mm × 3.75mm, 17-pin FC2QFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 16), symmetric SUP/PGND pin placement for low-impedance power loops, and pin-to-pin compatibility with MAX20404/MAX20405/MAX20406 (4A–6A family).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 EN | Enable Input | High-voltage compatible (up to 42V); 0.9V threshold (E-version) enables direct connection to automotive microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting. |
| 2 BST | Bootstrap Supply | Requires 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to LX; enables high-side gate drive above input rail for efficient 10A conduction. |
| 3, 9 SUP | IC Supply Input | Dual pins internally connected; bypassed with 0.1μF + 4.7μF ceramics to PGND for low-noise biasing of internal regulators and gate drivers. |
| 4, 5, 7 PGND | Power Ground | Three dedicated PGND pins minimize ground bounce and improve EMI by separating high di/dt return paths from analog GND. |
| 6 LX | Switch Node | Connects to buck inductor; 34ns min on-time and 10A RMS rating support compact magnetics in space-constrained ADAS modules. |
| 8 GND | Analog Ground | Separate from PGND; connects to PCB ground plane at single-point star node to isolate feedback loop noise from power switching. |
| 11 BIAS | 1.8V Linear Regulator Output | Supplies internal circuitry; requires ≥2.2μF ceramic to GND; auto-switches from input to output post-startup if VOUT > 2.5V. |
| 12 FB | Feedback Input | Connects to resistor divider for 0.8V–10V adjustment or to BIAS for fixed-output configuration (3.3V/4V/5V options). |
| 13 OUT | Output Sense Input | Used only when FB tied to BIAS; enables remote sensing to compensate for PCB trace IR drop in high-current power distribution. |
| 14 VEA | Error Amplifier Output | Connected between controller/target in dual-phase mode to enforce matched current sharing; left open in single-phase operation. |
| 15 PGOOD | Open-Drain Power-Good | Windowed indicator with 50μs debounce; asserts low during soft-start and faults; pulled up to BIAS or external rail ≤5.5V. |
| 16 SYNC | Synchronization Input | Configures FPWM (high), skip mode (low), or external clock sync; accepts 1.7–2.6MHz (2.1MHz mode) or 360–600kHz (400kHz mode) inputs. |
| 17 SYNCOUT | 180° Out-of-Phase Clock Output | Drives SYNC of target IC in dual-phase setup; tied to BIAS to configure as target; left open in single-phase operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current automotive buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20410EAFOB/VY+T | Same pinout and electrical specs, but includes enhanced EN threshold accuracy (0.9V ±75mV vs. 1.2V ±300mV), improved PGOOD windowing, and reduced output capacitor requirement. | Better suited for ASIL-B systems requiring tighter enable sequencing and higher diagnostic coverage on power-good status. | Select MAX20410EAFOB/VY+T when designing new ASIL-B compliant modules; MAX20410AFOB/VY+T remains valid for legacy AEC-Q100 Grade 1 designs with relaxed EN/PGOOD tolerances. |
| TPS62933RGER | 36V, 8A buck with 15μA IQ, 2.1MHz, but lacks dual-phase capability, windowed PGOOD, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 full-temp-range validation. | Targeted at industrial or non-safety-critical automotive applications where dual-phase scalability and ASIL diagnostics are not required. | Choose TPS62933RGER only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications outside ASIL scope; MAX20410AFOB/VY+T is mandatory for ADAS/BCM where 20A scalability and diagnostic rigor are essential. |
Compared with MAX20410EAFOB/VY+T, the MAX20410AFOB/VY+T trades tighter EN/PGOOD thresholds for broader legacy compatibility, while versus TPS62933RGER it delivers certified automotive robustness, dual-phase readiness, and superior diagnostic coverage - making it the sole choice for production ADAS and BCM power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the MAX20410AFOB/VY+T?
The MAX20410AFOB/VY+T delivers up to 10A continuous output current when operating within its specified junction temperature limit of +125°C, using the recommended 4-layer EV kit layout with θJB = 9.9°C/W. Derating applies above +70°C ambient per the 37mW/°C thermal specification, and dual-phase configuration with a second MAX20410AFOB/VY+T enables 20A total output.
Does the MAX20410AFOB/VY+T support both fixed and adjustable output voltages?
Yes, the MAX20410AFOB/VY+T supports both configurations: connect FB to BIAS for factory-programmed fixed outputs (3.3V, 4V, or 5V), or use an external resistor divider between OUT and GND to set adjustable outputs from 0.8V to 10V. The FB pin has ±1% accuracy and 100nA leakage, ensuring stable regulation across temperature and load.
How does the MAX20410AFOB/VY+T achieve ultra-low quiescent current in automotive standby mode?
The MAX20410AFOB/VY+T achieves 10μA quiescent current in skip mode by dynamically disabling switching activity under light loads while maintaining regulation via burst-mode operation. This is enabled by driving the SYNC pin low, and the feature is validated across -40°C to +125°C, meeting ISO 16750-2 requirements for automotive sleep-mode current budgets.
Can the MAX20410AFOB/VY+T be used in dual-phase configuration, and what is required to implement it?
Yes, two MAX20410AFOB/VY+T ICs can be configured in dual-phase operation: one as controller (SYNCOUT left open), the other as target (SYNCOUT tied to BIAS). Connect controller SYNCOUT to target SYNC, and tie VEA pins together. This enables 180° phase shift, dynamic current sharing, and up to 20A total output with reduced input/output ripple.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX20410AFOB/VY+T?
The MAX20410AFOB/VY+T integrates cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting (14A typical ILIM), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection (25ms off-time), thermal shutdown (175°C), and windowed PGOOD monitoring. It also supports 42V load-dump transients and operates down to 3V input, fulfilling ISO 7637-2 Pulse 4 and Pulse 5b requirements for automotive power systems.
