Product details
Overview
MAX20484CATEA/VY+ from Analog Devices is an ASIL D-compliant system-on-chip power-system monitor with five voltage monitor inputs, programmable OV/UV thresholds (±0.8% accuracy), I²C-accessible challenge/response watchdog, clock/fault monitor (25kHz–50MHz), and two independent RESET outputs - deployed in ADAS and autonomous driving processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20484CATEA/VY+ datasheet, MAX20484CATEA/VY+ pinout, MAX20484CATEA/VY+ application, or MAX20484CATEA/VY+ equivalent, key selection considerations include ASIL D compliance, 3mm × 3mm TQFN-EP package, -40°C to +125°C operation, flexible power-sequence recording, and CRC-protected I²C interface with OTP configuration.
Technical Context
The MAX20484CATEA/VY+ integrates five fixed-voltage monitoring channels with independently programmable overvoltage (102.5%–110%) and undervoltage (90%–97.5%) thresholds, each achieving ±0.8% accuracy at 0.5% step resolution. Its flexible power sequence recorder (FPSR) separately timestamps power-up and power-down events across on/off and sleep/standby states.
It implements a windowed watchdog with both simple and challenge/response modes, accessible via I²C, alongside a dedicated clock/fault input supporting 25kHz–50MHz frequencies. All I²C transactions include CRC error detection, and configuration is stored in OTP memory with ECC and reload capability.

Applications
| ADAS Domain Controllers | Autonomous Driving Compute Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time monitoring of multiple voltage rails (e.g., SoC core, GPU, SerDes, camera interfaces) in centralized ADAS domain controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System-level power supervisor enforcing ASIL D fault detection, sequencing, and recovery coordination. Use Value: Replaces discrete supervisors and timers, reducing BOM count while enabling timestamped fault logging for ISO 26262 diagnostic coverage reporting. | Use Scenario: Supervision of heterogeneous compute clusters (CPU, AI accelerators, memory) with strict power sequencing and clock integrity checks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Centralized power-system monitor coordinating power-state transitions and validating clock sources for safety islands. Use Value: Enables deterministic power-up/down sequences and detects clock faults before functional safety mechanisms activate - critical for ASIL D decomposition. |
| Remote Sensor Fusion Units | Automotive Gateway ECUs |
Use Scenario: Compact, low-power supervision of radar/LiDAR/camera sensor nodes mounted in harsh under-bumper or wheel arch locations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone power and clock monitor with minimal external components and ultra-low quiescent current. Use Value: Achieves 8µA power-down current and operates down to -40°C - extends battery-backed operation and supports cold-cranking robustness. | Use Scenario: Monitoring of gateway ECU power domains (CAN FD, Ethernet, LIN, microcontroller supplies) with integrated reset coordination. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Multi-rail supervisor with dual independent RESET outputs and I²C diagnostics for network interface health. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate reset generators and clock monitors - simplifies layout and improves inter-rail timing correlation for network synchronization. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-system monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX22520ATP+ | Four-input monitor with integrated isolated CAN FD transceiver; no clock monitor or FPSR; lower channel count and no challenge/response watchdog. | Targeted at isolated communication node supervision rather than full SoC power monitoring. | Select when isolation and CAN FD interface are primary needs, not comprehensive power sequencing or clock integrity. |
| TPS659413ARSLR | PMIC with four LDOs/DC-DCs + three voltage monitors; lacks clock/fault monitor, FPSR, and ASIL D documentation; I²C only, no CRC. | Designed for power conversion + basic supervision in infotainment, not safety-critical ADAS domain control. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-ASIL applications needing integrated regulation, not standalone high-integrity monitoring. |
Compared with MAX20484CATEA/VY+, MAX22520ATP+ trades power-monitoring depth for signal isolation and bus interface, while TPS659413ARSLR emphasizes power delivery over diagnostic rigor - neither provides ASIL D-compliant FPSR, clock monitoring, or challenge/response watchdog functionality.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX20484CATEA/VY+?
The MAX20484CATEA/VY+ is rated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation and is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified. This range supports deployment in engine compartments, domain controllers, and other high-temperature automotive locations where thermal stability is essential for ASIL D compliance. The MAX20484CATEA/VY+ maintains specified accuracy and timing behavior across this full range without derating.
Does the MAX20484CATEA/VY+ support I²C clock stretching or multi-master arbitration?
The MAX20484CATEA/VY+ implements a standard I²C slave interface with CRC protection but does not support clock stretching or multi-master arbitration. It operates as a single-slave device with programmable 7-bit address, intended for point-to-point connection with a master controller. The MAX20484CATEA/VY+ relies on host-controlled polling and timeout handling rather than hardware-level arbitration.
How is the clock/fault monitor in the MAX20484CATEA/VY+ configured for frequency tolerance?
The MAX20484CATEA/VY+ clock/fault monitor accepts input frequencies from 25kHz to 50MHz and detects loss-of-signal or out-of-range conditions based on programmable window thresholds. Frequency tolerance is set via I²C registers controlling upper/lower frequency bounds and glitch rejection time; no external components are required. The MAX20484CATEA/VY+ does not perform real-time frequency measurement but validates presence and range compliance.
Can the two RESET outputs of the MAX20484CATEA/VY+ be configured for different assertion conditions?
Yes, RESET1 and RESET2 in the MAX20484CATEA/VY+ are independently programmable for different fault sources - including individual voltage monitor channels, clock/fault input failure, watchdog timeout, or power-sequence violations. Each output supports active-low open-drain operation with configurable debounce and assertion duration, enabling hierarchical reset schemes in complex SoC systems.
Is the OTP memory in the MAX20484CATEA/VY+ reprogrammable after initial configuration?
No, the OTP memory in the MAX20484CATEA/VY+ is one-time programmable and cannot be rewritten. However, it includes error-correcting code (ECC) and a reload function that allows runtime restoration of factory-default or previously saved configurations from volatile RAM. This ensures consistent behavior across power cycles without requiring reprogramming of the OTP array itself.
