Product details
Overview
MAX25223ATPB/VY+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-grade synchronous buck converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 3.5A output current across a 3V–36V input range while consuming only 5µA quiescent current at no load. It features ±2% output voltage accuracy (5V fixed), 2.1MHz switching frequency, 65ns minimum on-time, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX25223ATPB/VY+ datasheet, MAX25223ATPB/VY+ pinout, MAX25223ATPB/VY+ application, or MAX25223ATPB/VY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 42V load-dump tolerance, 99% dropout duty cycle, PGOOD monitoring, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and side-wettable 20-pin TQFN package optimized for thermal and noise performance in space-constrained automotive modules.
Technical Context
The MAX25223ATPB/VY+ employs current-mode control with internal slope compensation and no external compensation required. Its 65ns minimum on-time enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 24V→5V at 2.1MHz), while the 99% maximum duty cycle supports operation near VIN = VOUT during cold-crank conditions.
It integrates dual gate drivers, a 5V BIAS LDO, and programmable UVLO via EN resistor divider. The device auto-selects skip mode below ~600mA load (5µA IQ) or forced PWM mode when SYNC is tied to BIAS - enabling precise EMI management without sacrificing light-load efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3.5A continuous - supports automotive infotainment, ADAS sensors, and body control modules without external FETs |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 36V - covers full automotive battery range including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (42V transient tolerant) |
| Quiescent Current | 5µA at no load - extends battery life in always-on vehicle systems like telematics and alarm controllers |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz (fixed) - enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and reduces AM-band interference |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% over +6V to +18V input - ensures stable 5V rail for MCU, CAN transceivers, and image sensors |
| PGOOD Thresholds | 92% UV / 106% OV detection - provides reliable power sequencing and fault signaling for downstream logic |
| Thermal Protection | 175°C shutdown with 15°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
The MAX25223ATPB/VY+ is housed in a 4mm × 4mm, 20-pin side-wettable TQFN package (package code T2044Y+5C) with exposed thermal pad. Pin layout is symmetrical to minimize EMI loop area and supports dual-input-capacitor placement for field cancellation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | High-voltage enable input | Accepts 0.55V–1.45V logic thresholds; compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers and automotive KEY signals; no internal pullup/pulldown |
| BST (Pin 2) | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX; enables efficient 100% duty-cycle operation in dropout |
| SUP (Pins 4,5,11) | Main input supply connection | Three parallel inputs reduce AC current path impedance; each requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling |
| LX (Pins 8,9) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; internal clamp diodes to PGND/AGND limit reverse recovery stress during startup |
| BIAS (Pin 15) | Internal 5V LDO output | Powers internal circuitry; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to PGND; supplies PGOOD pullup when used |
| SYNC (Pin 17) | Mode control / clock sync input | Ground = skip mode; BIAS = forced PWM; enables dynamic EMI optimization without firmware change |
| PGOOD (Pin 18) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Active-high signal with 92–106% window; requires external 10kΩ pullup; debounced per switching mode |
| SPS (Pin 20) | Spread-spectrum enable | Logic-high enables ±6% frequency modulation - reduces peak EMI by >10dB without affecting regulation |
| PGND (Pins 7,10,16,19) | Power ground return | Multiple low-inductance paths minimize ground bounce; must be shorted to AGND via thick trace |
| AGND (Pin 13) | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, error amplifier, and current sense; connects directly to exposed thermal pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous buck with integrated FETs | Eliminates 4 external MOSFETs and gate drivers - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and layout complexity |
| 42V load-dump protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transients without external TVS - simplifies front-end protection design |
| Side-wettable TQFN package | Enables automated optical solder-joint inspection (AOI) for automotive production line traceability |
| Programmable UVLO via EN divider | Allows custom start-up voltage (e.g., 6.5V) to prevent brownout during engine cranking |
| Internal soft-start (3.5ms) | Prevents inrush current into bulk capacitors - avoids fuse blowing and input voltage sag in multi-rail systems |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Shuts down for 7ms then retries soft-start - protects against sustained shorts without latch-off or manual reset |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480QRTWRQ1 | 4.5V–36V input, 8A output, 2.1MHz, but 15µA IQ and no spread spectrum | Better for higher-current clusters; lacks EMI-optimized modulation and side-wettable package | Choose when >5A output or lower RDS(on) is required; avoid if CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance is mandatory |
| TPS62933RTER | 3V–36V input, 3.5A, 1.8MHz, 1.2µA IQ, but not AEC-Q100 qualified and no 42V transient rating | Optimized for ultra-low-power industrial IoT; lacks automotive safety and ruggedness features | Consider only for non-automotive applications where AEC-Q100 and load-dump immunity are unnecessary |
Compared with LM61480QRTWRQ1 and TPS62933RTER, the MAX25223ATPB/VY+ uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 42V transient tolerance, side-wettable packaging for AOI, and hardware-enabled spread-spectrum EMI reduction - making it the only drop-in solution for cost-sensitive, space-constrained automotive 5V rails requiring zero-layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage setting for MAX25223ATPB/VY+?
The MAX25223ATPB/VY+ is factory-trimmed to deliver a fixed 5V output with ±2% accuracy across the +6V to +18V input range and -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external feedback resistors - ensuring consistent regulation without calibration overhead in automotive ECUs.
Does MAX25223ATPB/VY+ support external synchronization?
Yes, MAX25223ATPB/VY+ supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. When driven with a clean 1.7–2.6MHz (for 2.1MHz option) or 325–500kHz (for 400kHz option) square wave, the device locks its internal oscillator to the external source - enabling deterministic EMI reduction and system-level timing alignment in multi-converter designs.
How does the PGOOD function behave during input transients?
During input transients such as load dump or cold crank, MAX25223ATPB/VY+ maintains PGOOD assertion as long as the output remains within 92–106% of 5V. Its internal OV/UV comparators feature hysteresis and debounce times (60–110µs depending on mode), preventing false toggling during fast-rising/falling output excursions caused by transient-induced overshoot or undershoot.
Can MAX25223ATPB/VY+ operate in dropout with 100% duty cycle?
MAX25223ATPB/VY+ achieves up to 99% duty cycle in dropout - sufficient to sustain 5V output down to ~5.05V input. It cannot reach true 100% due to bootstrap capacitor recharge requirements; however, the internal 20µs forced LSFET conduction ensures stable regulation even at VIN = VOUT + 50mV, meeting automotive cold-crank specifications.
What thermal derating applies to MAX25223ATPB/VY+ in a four-layer PCB?
On a standard four-layer board with 2oz copper and 6x6cm thermal pad, MAX25223ATPB/VY+ has θJA = 33°C/W. At 70°C ambient, maximum continuous power dissipation is 2.42W before thermal shutdown activates at 175°C junction temperature - supporting 3.5A output at 5V with <1.5W total losses under typical conditions.
