Product details
Overview
MAX25223ATPB/VY+T 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+T datasheet, MAX25223ATPB/VY+T pinout, MAX25223ATPB/VY+T application, or MAX25223ATPB/VY+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout operation at 99% duty cycle, 42V load-dump protection, PGOOD monitoring with ±2% OV/UV thresholds, and side-wettable TQFN-20 package compatibility with automotive thermal and EMI requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX25223ATPB/VY+T employs current-mode control with internal slope compensation, enabling stable regulation without external compensation components. Its 65ns minimum on-time supports high step-down ratios (e.g., 36V→5V), while the 2.1MHz fixed-frequency operation minimizes external component size and avoids AM-band interference.
It integrates dual MOSFETs (70mΩ HS/LS RDS(on)), a 5V BIAS LDO, programmable UVLO via EN resistor divider, and spread-spectrum modulation (±6%) enabled by the SPS pin - all operating across –40°C to +125°C ambient with thermal shutdown at +175°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3.5A continuous - sufficient for powering ADAS sensors, infotainment SoCs, or body-control modules |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 36V - covers cold-crank (3V), nominal 12V/24V, and 42V load-dump transients without external clamping |
| Quiescent Current | 5µA at no load - enables always-on functionality in vehicle battery systems without excessive parasitic drain |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2% over +6V to +18V input - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for downstream 5V microcontrollers and interfaces |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz (fixed) - allows use of compact 2.2µH inductors and <10µF ceramic output capacitors, reducing board area |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - sustains regulation during deep dropout (e.g., 5.5VIN → 5VOUT), critical for start-stop engine operation |
| PGOOD Thresholds | UV: 92% / OV: 106% of VOUT - provides precise power-rail monitoring for safety-critical automotive sequencing |
Pinout & Package
The MAX25223ATPB/VY+T is housed in a 4mm × 4mm, 20-pin side-wettable TQFN (SW-TQFN) package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for automotive PCB assembly and reflow inspection. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pins 3, 6, 12, 16, and 19 are NC (no-connect).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | High-voltage enable input | Accepts 0.55V–1.45V logic thresholds; supports direct connection to 3.3V MCU GPIO or automotive KEY/CAN inhibit signals |
| BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate driver | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX; enables efficient 100% duty-cycle operation during dropout |
| SUP (pins 4,5,11) | Main power input | Three dedicated SUP pins reduce IR drop and improve EMI performance; each requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling |
| LX (pins 8,9) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; internal clamp diodes to PGND/AGND/SUP require careful layout to avoid exceeding thermal limits |
| BIAS | Internal 5V bias supply output | Provides regulated 5V for external pullups (e.g., PGOOD) and SYNC/SPS logic; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to PGND |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Active-high signal pulled low if VOUT falls below 92% or rises above 106%; needs external 10kΩ pullup to BIAS or system rail |
| SYNC | Mode control and synchronization input | Pulled low = skip mode (ultra-low IQ); tied to BIAS = forced PWM (constant fSW, improved EMI); accepts external clock up to 500kHz |
| SPS | Spread-spectrum enable | Logic-high enables ±6% frequency modulation to reduce peak EMI emissions; internal 1MΩ pulldown ensures default disable |
| PGND (pins 7,10,14) | Power ground return | Multiple low-inductance paths minimize ground bounce; must be shorted to AGND near exposed thermal pad |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate from PGND but connected via short, thick trace; critical for PGOOD accuracy and error-amplifier stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous buck with integrated FETs | Eliminates external MOSFETs and drivers - reduces BOM count by ≥6 components and simplifies layout for space-constrained ECUs |
| 42V load-dump protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transients without external TVS - lowers system cost and improves reliability in 12V/24V vehicles |
| 99% duty-cycle dropout operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.2V - essential for engine start-stop systems where battery dips to 5.5V |
| Side-wettable TQFN-20 package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints - meets automotive manufacturing traceability and zero-defect requirements |
| Programmable UVLO via EN divider | Allows custom startup voltage (e.g., 6.5V) to prevent brownout during cranking - avoids unintended resets in safety-critical modules |
| Thermal shutdown with 15°C hysteresis | Shuts down at +175°C junction temperature and auto-restarts after cooling - protects against sustained overload in enclosed enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480QRNXTQ1 | 3.6A output, 4.2V–36V input, 12µA IQ, 2.1MHz, QFN-16 | Lacks spread-spectrum modulation and side-wettable pins; lower thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W vs. 33°C/W) | Preferred when footprint reduction outweighs EMI certification needs and AOI is not required. |
| MPQ4436-AEC1 | 3.5A output, 3.8V–36V input, 15µA IQ, 2.2MHz, QFN-20 | No 42V load-dump rating; UVLO threshold fixed at 4.1V (not programmable); no PGOOD OV detection | Suitable for non-safety-critical cabin modules where load-dump immunity is managed externally. |
Compared with LM61480QRNXTQ1 and MPQ4436-AEC1, the MAX25223ATPB/VY+T delivers superior EMI performance via integrated spread spectrum and side-wettable layout, tighter output accuracy (±2% vs. ±3%), and guaranteed 42V transient handling - making it the preferred choice for ASIL-B compliant power rails requiring zero-layout compromises.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX25223ATPB/VY+T can withstand without damage?
The MAX25223ATPB/VY+T has an absolute maximum SUP rating of +42V, enabling it to survive ISO 7637-2 Load Dump Pulse 5a transients common in 12V and 24V automotive systems. This rating is validated per AEC-Q100 stress testing and does not require external TVS diodes for basic load-dump protection. Operation above 36V is limited to transient conditions ≤1 second.
Does the MAX25223ATPB/VY+T support adjustable output voltage, or is it fixed-only?
The MAX25223ATPB/VY+T is factory-trimmed to a fixed 5V output voltage; it does not support external feedback resistors for adjustment. However, Analog Devices offers other variants in the MAX25223 family with 3.3V output or custom voltages between 3V and 5.5V in 100mV increments - contact factory for availability of non-standard VOUT options.
How does the MAX25223ATPB/VY+T achieve ultra-low 5µA quiescent current?
The MAX25223ATPB/VY+T achieves 5µA IQ by entering standby mode when load current drops below ~5mA: most internal circuitry (including the high-voltage LDO) is disabled, and regulation is maintained using only essential bias and comparator functions. This mode is active only in skip mode with factory-trimmed 5V output - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table (ISUP, 5V = 8.5µA typ).
Can the MAX25223ATPB/VY+T operate in forced PWM mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the MAX25223ATPB/VY+T supports forced PWM (FPWM) mode to eliminate low-frequency beat notes and improve EMI predictability. FPWM is enabled by connecting the SYNC pin to the internal BIAS voltage (5V) - this overrides skip mode and locks the converter to its nominal 2.1MHz switching frequency regardless of load current.
What thermal performance can be expected from the MAX25223ATPB/VY+T in a four-layer PCB design?
In a standard four-layer board per JEDEC JESD51-7, the MAX25223ATPB/VY+T exhibits θJA = 33°C/W and θJC = 2°C/W. With proper thermal pad soldering to ≥200mm² copper area and ≥6 thermal vias, it sustains 3.5A continuous output at +125°C ambient - verified in Thermal Characteristics section and supported by AEC-Q100 temperature cycling data.
