Product details
Overview
MAX20472ATCE/V+ from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency, automotive-grade synchronous boost converter IC that steps up 3.0V–4.0V input to a factory-configured 5.0V output at up to 1A continuous load current. It features ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over load, line, and temperature (−40°C to +125°C), 2.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, True Shutdown™, and integrated open-drain RESET with selectable timeout (0.5ms/3.7ms/7.4ms/14.8ms). It is designed for powering CAN transceivers and point-of-load rails in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20472ATCE/V+ datasheet, MAX20472ATCE/V+ pinout, MAX20472ATCE/V+ application, or MAX20472ATCE/V+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1A output capability, 12-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed thermal pad, spread-spectrum enable (SSEN), SYNC-controlled PWM/skip mode transition, and factory-set 5.0V output with UV/OV monitoring on RESET.
Technical Context
The MAX20472ATCE/V+ implements a current-mode, synchronous boost architecture with integrated high-side (150mΩ) and low-side (100mΩ) MOSFETs, enabling high efficiency across light-to-heavy loads. Its dual-mode control-forced-PWM (2.2MHz) and pulse-skipping-optimizes EMI performance and light-load efficiency without external compensation.
It integrates precision analog functions: factory-trimmed 5.0V output, ±1.5% regulation accuracy, 93% UV and 107% OV thresholds referenced to nominal VOUT, and a programmable soft-start time of 1.9ms. The device supports automotive reliability via overtemperature shutdown (165°C, 15°C hysteresis), short-circuit protection, and robust 125°C junction operation.

Pinout & Package
MAX20472ATCE/V+ is housed in a 12-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package (package code TD1233+2C) with exposed thermal pad connected to PGND for enhanced power dissipation (θJA = 41°C/W on 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SSEN | Spread-Spectrum Enable | High enables ±3% pseudorandom frequency modulation to reduce radiated EMI peaks; tied to AV for activation. |
| 2 OUTS | Output Voltage Feedback | Connected directly to output capacitor; enables internal regulation loop without external resistor divider. |
| 3 OUT | Regulated Output | 5.0V power rail output; capable of sourcing 1A with <10mV load transient deviation (typical). |
| 4,5 LX | Switch Node | Connects to inductor's switched side; handles peak currents up to 4.2A with low RDS(ON) MOSFETs. |
| 6 PGND | Power Ground | Low-impedance return path for high-current switching; must be connected to exposed pad and local ground plane. |
| 7 RESET | Open-Drain Fault Indicator | Asserts low when VOUT falls below 93% or rises above 107%; requires external pull-up for logic-level interface. |
| 8,9 GND | Analog & Power Ground | Dual ground pins minimize noise coupling; both connect to EP and shared ground plane. |
| 10 AV | Analog Supply Input | 3.0–4.0V analog rail; decoupled with 1µF ceramic capacitor to stabilize reference and control circuitry. |
| 11 EN | Active-High Enable | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables converter; includes 100mV hysteresis to prevent chatter near threshold. |
| 12 SYNC | Mode Control Input | GND = skip mode (light-load efficiency); AV or external clock = forced-PWM (fixed 2.2MHz, low-noise). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Boost Architecture | Integrated 150mΩ pMOS / 100mΩ nMOS switches eliminate external diode losses and simplify layout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20472ATCA/V+ | Same 12-pin TDFN-EP package and 2.2MHz operation, but rated for 500mA output (vs. 1A). | Suitable only for lower-current CAN nodes or single-transceiver designs; insufficient for dual-CAN FD or high-power displays. | Select MAX20472ATCA/V+ only if load current remains ≤500mA and thermal margin permits reduced copper area. |
| TPS61288EVM-829 | 1.2A output, 2.1MHz switching, but lacks factory-set 5V output, integrated RESET, and automotive temp range (−40°C to +105°C only). | Requires external feedback resistors and reset supervisor IC; not AEC-Q100 qualified; higher BOM count. | Choose TPS61288 only for non-automotive industrial applications where programmability outweighs qualification and integration benefits. |
Compared with MAX20472ATCA/V+, the MAX20472ATCE/V+ delivers double the output current in identical footprint and thermal performance, while the TPS61288 offers higher current but sacrifices automotive qualification, integrated fault signaling, and factory-trimmed precision - making MAX20472ATCE/V+ optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical automotive power rails.

FAQ
What is the factory-configured output voltage of the MAX20472ATCE/V+?
The MAX20472ATCE/V+ is factory-configured for a precise 5.0V output voltage with ±1.5% accuracy over full load, line, and temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). This fixed output eliminates the need for external feedback resistors and ensures compatibility with standard 5V automotive interfaces such as CAN transceivers and legacy microcontrollers. The 5.0V setting is laser-trimmed during production and cannot be adjusted externally.
Does the MAX20472ATCE/V+ support true shutdown with output discharge?
Yes, the MAX20472ATCE/V+ features True Shutdown™, which fully disables the internal power stage and actively discharges the output capacitor through an internal 300Ω path when EN is pulled low. This ensures the OUT pin reaches 0V rapidly, preventing back-powering of downstream circuitry and meeting stringent automotive low-power sleep requirements. The discharge function operates independently of external components.
How does the SYNC pin control operating mode in the MAX20472ATCE/V+?
In the MAX20472ATCE/V+, the SYNC pin selects between two distinct operating modes: pulling SYNC to GND enables pulse-skipping mode for maximum light-load efficiency, while connecting SYNC to AV (or an external 2.2MHz clock) forces fixed-frequency PWM operation for consistent EMI profile and improved load-transient response. Unlike the MAX20472B variant, the MAX20472ATCE/V+ automatically transitions between modes based on load current when SYNC is grounded.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX20472ATCE/V+?
The MAX20472ATCE/V+ integrates overcurrent protection (4.2A threshold), overtemperature shutdown (165°C with 15°C hysteresis), input UVLO (2.48V rising), output UV/OV monitoring (93%/107%), short-circuit recovery (hiccup mode), and charge-mode startup supervision. These protections operate autonomously without external components, ensuring robust operation in automotive environments where voltage transients and thermal stress are common.
Is the MAX20472ATCE/V+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX20472ATCE/V+ is an automotive-qualified part (denoted by "/V+" suffix), meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements with guaranteed operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. It is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities, features enhanced ESD robustness (±2kV HBM), and includes built-in diagnostics such as RESET assertion for system-level functional safety compliance in ASIL-B applications.
