Product details
Overview
MAX25252ATIA/VY+T from Analog Devices is a five-output ASIL B power management IC for automotive camera systems, integrating one 1A high-voltage buck (OUT1, 2.5V–5V), two 1.7A low-voltage bucks (OUT2/OUT3, 0.75V–3.9375V), and two high-PSRR LDOs (LDO4: 0.4A; LDO5: 0.9A), all with ±1.5% output accuracy and OV/UV monitoring across -40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX25252ATIA/VY+T datasheet, MAX25252ATIA/VY+T pinout, MAX25252ATIA/VY+T application, or MAX25252ATIA/VY+T equivalent, key selection considerations include ASIL B compliance, I²C-programmable voltage sequencing for imager/serializer rails, 2.1MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation enabling all-ceramic designs, and integrated 12-bit temperature monitoring via external NTC.
Technical Context
The MAX25252ATIA/VY+T implements current-mode, forced-PWM control across all three DC-DC converters to ensure stable transient response and noise immunity in EMI-sensitive camera modules. Its 2.1MHz switching frequency supports compact 0402/0603 ceramic capacitors and eliminates need for electrolytics.
I²C interface enables dynamic configuration of output voltages (12.5mV steps for OUT2/OUT3/LDO4/LDO5; 100mV steps for OUT1), startup sequencing order, soft-start timing, and diagnostic thresholds - critical for multi-rail image sensor and serializer power-up coordination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 22V - supports direct connection to automotive battery and PoC (Power over Coax) sources. |
| OUT1 Output | 1A, 2.5V–5V in 100mV steps - powers high-voltage camera sensor bias or serializer interface. |
| OUT2/OUT3 Output | 1.7A each, 0.75V–3.9375V in 12.5mV steps - supplies core and I/O rails of high-megapixel CMOS imagers. |
| LDO4/LDO5 Output | 0.4A / 0.9A, 0.75V–3.9375V in 12.5mV steps - delivers low-noise, high-PSRR power to analog sensor blocks and high-speed serializers. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1.5% over load, line, and temperature - meets ASIL B functional safety requirements for camera power integrity. |
| OV/UV Monitoring | ±1% accuracy per rail - enables reliable fault detection and RESET assertion for system-level diagnostics. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz fixed - allows full-ceramic filter design, reduces EMI, and improves transient response vs. lower-frequency PMICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX25253ATIA/VY+T | Same pinout and feature set, but includes integrated watchdog timer and enhanced I²C error recovery logic. | Preferred for systems requiring autonomous fault recovery without host intervention. | Select MAX25253ATIA/VY+T when watchdog functionality is required for higher ASIL levels or extended diagnostic coverage. |
| TPS65917B1ZWSR | Four-output PMIC (3 buck + 1 LDO); lacks second high-current LDO and NTC-based temperature monitoring. | Targeted at infotainment SoCs rather than camera-specific power trees. | Choose TPS65917B1ZWSR only if system requires fewer rails and does not mandate ASIL B temperature diagnostics. |
Compared with MAX25252ATIA/VY+T, the MAX25253ATIA/VY+T adds watchdog autonomy but shares identical power architecture, while the TPS65917B1ZWSR offers lower integration and no ASIL B-certified thermal monitoring - making MAX25252ATIA/VY+T optimal for safety-critical camera power delivery.
