Product details
Overview
MAX20410AFOC/VY+T from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade, fully integrated synchronous buck converter with internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 10A output current from a 3.0V–36V input. It features 10μA quiescent current in skip mode, 2.1MHz/400kHz selectable switching frequency, ±1% output voltage accuracy (E-grade), and AEC-Q100 qualification for use in ADAS power rails and infotainment domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20410AFOC/VY+T datasheet, MAX20410AFOC/VY+T pinout, MAX20410AFOC/VY+T application, or MAX20410AFOC/VY+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-phase scalability to 20A, 99% dropout duty cycle, windowed PGOOD with 102.75–107.25% threshold range, and FC2QFN-17 package thermal performance (θJB = 9.9°C/W on EV kit).
Technical Context
The MAX20410AFOC/VY+T implements average current-mode control with 34ns minimum on-time, enabling stable operation across wide VIN/VOUT ratios (e.g., 24V→3.3V) without pulse-skipping instability. Its dual-phase architecture supports dynamic current sharing and 180° out-of-phase operation between controller and target ICs via SYNC/SYNCOUT signaling.
It integrates a 1.8V BIAS linear regulator with 2.2μF output capacitance requirement, symmetric SUP/PGND pin placement for EMI reduction, and factory-configurable spread-spectrum modulation (±3% at 2.1MHz) that disables automatically during external clock synchronization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 10A max - supports single-phase high-current rails without external current-sharing circuitry |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 36V - withstands automotive load dump (42V transient) and cold-crank down to 3V |
| Quiescent Current | 10μA in skip mode - enables always-on systems (e.g., telematics wake-up) with minimal battery drain |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz or 400kHz - enables compact 1.0μH inductors and <10μF ceramic output capacitors |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% (MAX20410E variant) - ensures precise regulation for sensitive SoC cores and SerDes supplies |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - maintains regulation during deep dropout (e.g., 5VOUT from 5.05VIN) |
| Thermal Performance | θJB = 9.9°C/W (4-layer EV kit) - sustains 10A continuous output at +85°C ambient with no derating |
Pinout & Package
MAX20410AFOC/VY+T uses a thermally enhanced 3.5mm × 3.75mm, 17-pin FC2QFN package (package code F173A3FY+4) with exposed thermal pad and symmetric SUP/PGND layout for low-impedance power loops.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 EN | Enable Input | High-voltage compatible (3V–36V); 0.9V typical enable threshold (E-grade) enables direct connection to automotive microcontroller GPIO |
| 2 BST | Bootstrap Supply | Drives high-side gate; requires 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to LX for reliable 10A switching |
| 3, 9 SUP | Power Input & HS Switch Supply | Dual pins internally connected; bypassed with 0.1μF + 4.7μF ceramics for low-ESR input filtering |
| 4, 5, 7 PGND | Power Ground | Three dedicated low-inductance ground returns minimize switching noise coupling into analog sections |
| 6 LX | Switch Node | Connects to buck inductor; 34ns min on-time supports high step-down ratios without subharmonic oscillation |
| 10 GND | Analog Ground | Separate from PGND; connected via star point to reduce FB/VEA noise injection |
| 11 BIAS | 1.8V LDO Output | Powers internal circuitry; requires ≥2.2μF ceramic cap to GND; auto-switches from VIN to VOUT post-startup |
| 12 FB | Feedback Input | Accepts resistor divider (0.8V–10V adjustable) or direct tie-to-BIAS for fixed outputs (3.3V/4V/5V) |
| 13 OUT | Output Sense | Used only when FB tied to BIAS; enables accurate remote sensing of regulated output voltage |
| 14 VEA | Error Amplifier Output | Connected between controller/target in dual-phase mode for matched current sharing and transient response |
| 15 PGOOD | Open-Drain Power-Good | Windowed indicator (102.75–107.25% rising/falling) confirms valid output before system boot |
| 16 SYNC | Synchronization Input | Selects FPWM (high), skip mode (low), or external clock sync (AC signal); disables spread-spectrum when active |
| 17 SYNCOUT | 180° Out-of-Phase Clock | Configures target IC in dual-phase; tied to BIAS on target, drives SYNC on second device |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20408AFOC/VY+T | 8A rated (vs. 10A), same package/pinout, identical E-grade features (±1% VOUT, windowed PGOOD, EN accuracy) | Lower current headroom; suitable where peak load ≤8A (e.g., mid-tier ADAS ECUs) | Select MAX20408AFOC/VY+T when system peak current is confirmed ≤8A and cost optimization is prioritized |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX20410AFOC/VY+T?
The MAX20410AFOC/VY+T delivers up to 10A continuous output current in single-phase operation. When configured in dual-phase mode with a second MAX20410AFOC/VY+T as target, the system supports up to 20A with dynamic current sharing and 180° phase interleaving-verified per datasheet Section "Dual-Phase Operation" and thermal characterization on 4-layer EV kit.
Does the MAX20410AFOC/VY+T support adjustable output voltage, and what is the range?
Yes, the MAX20410AFOC/VY+T supports adjustable output voltage from 0.8V to 10V using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. This range applies when operating at 400kHz or 2.1MHz switching frequency. Fixed-output variants (3.3V, 4V, 5V) are also available, but MAX20410AFOC/VY+T is the E-grade 10A adjustable version per Ordering Information table.
What is the quiescent current of the MAX20410AFOC/VY+T in skip mode, and how does it compare to forced-PWM mode?
The MAX20410AFOC/VY+T draws 10μA quiescent current in skip mode at no load, enabling ultra-low-power always-on applications. In forced-PWM (FPWM) mode, IQ rises to approximately 1000μA due to continuous switching. The 100× difference makes skip mode essential for battery-backed telematics and parking surveillance systems.
Is the MAX20410AFOC/VY+T AEC-Q100 qualified, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the MAX20410AFOC/VY+T is AEC-Q100 qualified per Rev 14 datasheet, meeting Grade 1 specifications (–40°C to +125°C ambient operating temperature). This qualification covers stress testing for automotive environments including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock-ensuring reliability in engine bay and ADAS camera housing deployments.
How does the windowed PGOOD feature of the MAX20410AFOC/VY+T differ from standard PGOOD implementations?
The MAX20410AFOC/VY+T (E-grade) implements a windowed PGOOD with rising threshold at 102.75–107.25% and falling threshold at 101.75–106.25% of nominal VOUT-unlike standard 92–96% windows. This tighter window detects overvoltage faults earlier (e.g., feedback resistor drift or transient overshoot), improving system-level safety in ASIL-B compliant power domains.
