Product details
Overview
MAX20471ASAA/V+ from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency, automotive-grade synchronous boost converter IC that converts 3.0V–4.0V input to a factory-preset 5.0V output at up to 500mA, achieving ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over load, line, and temperature (−40°C to +125°C). It operates at 2.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM mode with spread-spectrum modulation, integrates low-RDS(ON) MOSFETs (150mΩ pMOS / 100mΩ nMOS), and features True Shutdown™, soft-start (1.9ms), and open-drain RESET output for automotive point-of-load and CAN transceiver power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20471ASAA/V+ datasheet, MAX20471ASAA/V+ pinout, MAX20471ASAA/V+ application, or MAX20471ASAA/V+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-pin SOIC package, 5V/500mA factory-configured output, 2.2MHz switching frequency enabling all-ceramic designs, and integrated protections including overtemperature (165°C shutdown), current-limit (1.4A–4A range), and UV/OV monitoring on RESET.
Technical Context
The MAX20471ASAA/V+ implements a current-mode, synchronous boost architecture with dual-operation modes: forced-PWM (FPWM) enabled via SYNC pin high or external clock, and pulse-skipping (SKIP) for light-load efficiency-automatically transitioning based on load current threshold. Its internal oscillator delivers 2.2MHz nominal switching with ±3% spread-spectrum modulation to reduce EMI.
It integrates a 2A typ charge-mode current source for rapid output pre-charge, soft-start ramp control, and independent UV/OV detection (93±2% UV, 107±2% OV) mapped to an open-drain RESET pin with four selectable hold times (0.5ms/3.7ms/7.4ms/14.8ms). The device uses analog ground (AV) and power ground (PGND) separation for noise-sensitive regulation.

Pinout & Package
MAX20471ASAA/V+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (0.150") package with exposed pad (Package Code: S8+2C), optimized for thermal dissipation in automotive PCB layouts. Pin 1 is EN; Pin 8 is SYNC; Pin 5 is LX; Pin 6 is PGND; Pin 7 is RESET; Pin 3 is OUT; Pin 4 is GND; Pin 2 is AV.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Active-high enable input | Drives IC into full operation when pulled ≥1.5V; 100mV hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold. |
| OUT (Pin 3) | Main regulated output | 5.0V output node; requires 22µF ceramic capacitor for stability and ripple suppression. |
| LX (Pin 5) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor's switched side; carries high di/dt; must be routed with minimal loop area. |
| PGND (Pin 6) | Power ground return | Separate low-impedance return path for high-current switching; tied to exposed pad for thermal conduction. |
| RESET (Pin 7) | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low if output falls below 93% or exceeds 107% of 5.0V; requires external pull-up for logic-level signal. |
| AV (Pin 2) | Analog power supply | Provides clean bias for internal reference and error amplifier; decoupled with 1µF X7R ceramic capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Shutdown™ | Output discharges to 0V with RDISCH = 300Ω internal path - eliminates leakage into downstream circuitry during sleep. |
| Synchronous Boost Architecture | Integrated 150mΩ pMOS and 100mΩ nMOS switches - eliminates external diode, improves efficiency >90% at mid-load. |
| Programmable Spread Spectrum | ±3% frequency dithering - reduces peak radiated emissions by spreading energy across 2.14–2.26MHz band. |
| Factory-Configured Output | 5.0V preset in 50mV steps - eliminates external resistor divider, saves board space, and guarantees accuracy without trimming. |
| Charge Mode Pre-charge | 2A typical current source - rapidly lifts output from 0V to within 600mV of input before soft-start, avoiding startup brownout. |

FAQ
What is the factory-configured output voltage of the MAX20471ASAA/V+?
The MAX20471ASAA/V+ is factory-configured to deliver a precise 5.0V output with ±1.5% accuracy over load, line, and temperature (−40°C to +125°C). This fixed output eliminates the need for external feedback resistors and ensures consistent performance across automotive operating conditions without user calibration.
Does the MAX20471ASAA/V+ support spread-spectrum frequency modulation?
Yes, the MAX20471ASAA/V+ includes built-in spread-spectrum frequency modulation (±3% around 2.2MHz) to reduce peak radiated EMI. This feature is enabled by default and does not require external configuration - it operates pseudorandomly to avoid audible noise and simplify EMC compliance testing in automotive systems.
How does the RESET pin function on the MAX20471ASAA/V+?
The RESET pin on the MAX20471ASAA/V+ is an open-drain output that asserts low when the 5.0V output falls below 93% (4.65V) or rises above 107% (5.35V) of nominal. It holds low for a factory-selectable timeout (0.5ms/3.7ms/7.4ms/14.8ms) after regulation is restored, providing reliable fault signaling to microcontrollers in automotive gateways and ECUs.
What package type is used for the MAX20471ASAA/V+?
The MAX20471ASAA/V+ uses an 8-pin SOIC (0.150") package with exposed pad (Package Code: S8+2C), RoHS-compliant and automotive-qualified. Its through-hole-compatible footprint simplifies prototyping and repair while maintaining thermal performance via the EP-to-ground connection - distinct from the TDFN/SWTDFN variants in the same family.
Can the MAX20471ASAA/V+ operate in both forced-PWM and skip modes?
Yes, the MAX20471ASAA/V+ supports dual operation modes controlled by the SYNC pin: forced-PWM (FPWM) when SYNC is pulled high to VAV or driven by an external clock, and pulse-skipping (SKIP) when SYNC is grounded or left floating. This enables optimal efficiency across full load range - FPWM for low-noise, SKIP for ultra-low quiescent current in standby.
