Product details
Overview
MAX20472BATCC/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 3.85V output at up to 500mA, with ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, 2.0MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, and integrated low-RDS(ON) switches. It serves as a point-of-load power supply for automotive CAN transceivers requiring stable, low-noise 3.85V bias.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20472BATCC/V+ datasheet, MAX20472BATCC/V+ pinout, MAX20472BATCC/V+ application, or MAX20472BATCC/V+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive operating range (−40°C to +125°C), package mapping to 12-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for CAN transceiver power designs.
Technical Context
The MAX20472BATCC/V+ implements current-mode control with forced-PWM (FPWM) and skip-mode operation selected via the SYNC pin: FPWM is enabled when SYNC is tied to VAV or driven externally, while skip mode activates when SYNC is grounded or floating. Its 2.0MHz switching frequency enables full-ceramic external component design and minimizes EMI through programmable spread-spectrum modulation (±3%).
It integrates pMOS and nMOS power switches with RDS(ON) of 150mΩ and 100mΩ respectively, supports True Shutdown™ (output discharges to 0V), and features factory-trimmed UV/OV monitoring (93±2% UV, 107±2% OV) mapped to an open-drain RESET output with four selectable hold times (0.5ms/3.7ms/7.4ms/14.8ms).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-set 3.85V - eliminates need for external feedback resistors; optimized for CAN transceiver VCC rails. |
| Output Current | 500mA continuous - sufficient to power dual-channel CAN FD transceivers with margin. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 4.0V - matches automotive battery-supplied 3.3V domain with brownout tolerance. |

Pinout & Package
MAX20472BATCC/V+ is housed in a 12-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package (package code TD1233+2C) with exposed thermal pad connected to PGND. The pinout is identical across MAX20471/MAX20472/MAX20472B variants in this package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SSEN | Spread-spectrum enable | Connect to VAV to activate ±3% frequency dithering; reduces peak radiated EMI in CAN subsystems. |
| 2 OUTS | Output voltage feedback | Direct connection to output capacitor; sets regulation point via internal trim - no external resistor divider required. |
| 3 OUT | Regulated output | 3.85V power rail for CAN transceiver VCC; capable of sourcing 500mA with <10mV load regulation error. |
| 4,5 LX | Switch node | High-current path to inductor; requires low-inductance layout and Kelvin connection to minimize switching noise coupling into CAN signals. |
| 6 PGND | Power ground | High-current return for LX and internal MOSFETs; must be connected to exposed pad and separate from analog ground plane. |
| 7 RESET | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low if output falls below 93% (3.58V) or exceeds 107% (4.12V); pull-up required for logic-level signaling to microcontroller. |
| 8,9 GND | Analog ground | Reference for internal comparators and soft-start circuitry; must be star-connected to PGND at single point near EP. |
| 10 AV | Analog supply | 3.3V input for internal reference and control logic; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor to suppress supply noise affecting UV/OV thresholds. |
| 11 EN | Active-high enable | Logic threshold 1.0V with 100mV hysteresis; controls startup sequence and True Shutdown™ state. |
| 12 SYNC | Mode selection | Ground/floating = skip mode (light-load efficiency); VAV/external clock = forced 2.0MHz PWM (EMI-controlled, fast transient response). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX20472ATCC/V+ | Same 3.85V output, 500mA, 2.2MHz switching frequency (not 2.0MHz), higher current-limit threshold (4.2A vs. same), identical TDFN-EP package. | Designed for systems requiring faster transient response and tighter EMI control at 2.2MHz; not drop-in compatible due to oscillator frequency mismatch in SYNC-driven FPWM mode. | Select MAX20472ATCC/V+ only if 2.2MHz operation is required and system-level EMI testing confirms compatibility with 2.2MHz harmonics. |
| TPS61232DRCR | 3.85V adjustable via external resistors (not factory-set), 500mA, 2.0MHz, 3.0V–4.5V input, no spread-spectrum, no RESET output, 10-pin WSON package. | Lacks integrated fault reporting and automotive qualification; requires additional components for UV/OV monitoring and reset generation. | Choose TPS61232DRCR only for non-automotive cost-sensitive designs where external feedback and discrete reset logic are acceptable. |
