Product details
Overview
MAX25320ATPA/VY+ from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, ASIL D-compliant buck converter delivering up to 1A per output with factory-preset voltages (0.5V–3.6V in two step resolutions), 2.1MHz fixed-frequency PWM/SKIP operation, and ±1% output voltage accuracy over load, line, and temperature. It operates from a 3.3V supply and targets safety-critical automotive SoC/MCU secondary regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX25320ATPA/VY+ datasheet, MAX25320ATPA/VY+ pinout, MAX25320ATPA/VY+ application, or MAX25320ATPA/VY+ equivalent, key selection factors include ASIL D compliance features (BIST, redundant reference, PEC on I²C), dual independent enable/RESET/INT signals, spread-spectrum oscillator, and 4mm × 4mm 20-pin TQFN packaging for space-constrained automotive power domains.
Technical Context
The MAX25320ATPA/VY+ integrates two synchronous buck regulators with peak current mode control, supporting independent PWM or SKIP mode operation at 2.1MHz. Each channel includes dedicated LX, PGND, EN, and VOUT pins, plus shared I²C (SCL/SDA), SYNC, RESET, and INT signals.
It implements MAXQ® power architecture for enhanced transient response and phase margin, alongside ASIL D–level diagnostics: built-in self-test (BIST), programmable OV/UV thresholds, redundant internal voltage reference, and packet error checking (PEC) on the I²C interface.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1A per channel - supports dual-core SoC rail splitting or independent MCU core/logic supplies |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz - enables all-ceramic output filter design and compact 1µH inductors |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5V–1.59375V (6.25mV steps) and 1.6V–3.6V (25mV steps) - covers LPDDR4, Arm Cortex-A/R cores, and I/O rails |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% over load/line/temp - eliminates need for external 0.1% feedback resistors |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs and ADAS domain controllers |
| Efficiency | Up to 91% @ 3.3V→1.8V - reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures |

Pinout & Package
Package: 4mm × 4mm, 20-pin TQFN (exposed pad), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Input supply pin | 3.3V main input for internal LDOs, bias, and logic - requires local 2.2µF ceramic decoupling |
| EN1 / EN2/ADDR | Channel enable / I²C address select | EN1 controls OUT1; EN2/ADDR sets I²C slave address (low = 0x60, high = 0x61) |
| LX1 / LX2 | Power switch node | Connects to external 1µH inductor and sync rectifier FET - high dv/dt node requiring tight layout |
| PGND1 / PGND2 | Power ground return | Separate low-impedance paths for each channel's power loop - must connect to exposed pad under IC |
| VOUT1 / VOUT2 | Regulated output | Factory-programmed voltage - no external resistor divider needed; 10µF ceramic output capacitance recommended |
| SCL / SDA | I²C serial interface | Supports configuration, monitoring, and fault reporting with PEC-enabled packet integrity checking |
| RESET / INT | Open-drain status outputs | RESET asserts on UVLO/fault; INT signals interrupt events (OV, UV, OT, OC) - require pull-up resistors |
| SYNC | External clock synchronization input | Allows phase alignment with system clock or other converters to reduce EMI peaks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | EN1 and EN2 allow staggered startup sequencing or dynamic channel disable for power gating |
| Factory-programmable soft-start & RESET delay | Eliminates need for external timing components; configurable via I²C after power-up |

| Peak current mode architecture | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and fast transient response without external compensation |
| Redundant internal reference | Enables continuous monitoring of reference integrity - required for ASIL D diagnostic coverage |
| Built-in self-test (BIST) | Verifies critical analog blocks (reference, comparators, ADC) during startup and runtime - satisfies ISO 26262 FMEDA requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS653221A-Q1 | Single 2A buck + LDO; no dual independent 1A outputs; lacks spread-spectrum and BIST | Targeted at MCU-only systems without dual-rail SoC loads | Choose when only one high-current rail is needed and ASIL D diagnostics are not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per channel for the MAX25320ATPA/VY+?
The MAX25320ATPA/VY+ delivers up to 1A of continuous output current per channel under thermal and voltage conditions specified in the datasheet. This rating assumes proper PCB layout, adequate copper area for the exposed pad, and operation within the −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range. Derating applies above +85°C ambient, and both channels can operate simultaneously at full load if thermal design permits.
Does the MAX25320ATPA/VY+ require external feedback resistors to set output voltage?
No, the MAX25320ATPA/VY+ does not require external feedback resistors. Its output voltages are factory-preset with ±1% accuracy across load, line, and temperature. This eliminates the need for precision 0.1% resistors and associated layout complexity, reducing BOM count and improving long-term stability in automotive applications.
How does the MAX25320ATPA/VY+ support functional safety compliance?
The MAX25320ATPA/VY+ supports ASIL D compliance through integrated features including built-in self-test (BIST), redundant internal voltage reference, programmable OV/UV thresholds, and packet error checking (PEC) on its I²C interface. These capabilities satisfy ISO 26262 diagnostic coverage requirements for safety-critical power rails without external monitoring circuitry.
What package type and pin count does the MAX25320ATPA/VY+ use?
The MAX25320ATPA/VY+ uses a 4mm × 4mm, 20-pin TQFN package with an exposed thermal pad. This compact footprint supports high-density automotive PCB layouts while enabling efficient heat dissipation. The pinout includes dual LX/PGND/VOUT paths, independent enable inputs, and shared I²C, RESET, INT, and SYNC signals - all documented in the official Analog Devices datasheet Rev 2.
Can the MAX25320ATPA/VY+ operate in both PWM and SKIP modes?
Yes, the MAX25320ATPA/VY+ supports both fixed-frequency PWM mode and SKIP mode operation at 2.1MHz. SKIP mode improves light-load efficiency by skipping switching cycles, while PWM ensures constant frequency for predictable EMI filtering. Mode selection is configurable via I²C register settings, allowing dynamic adaptation to load conditions in automotive SoC applications.
