Product details
Overview
MAX5028EUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output, constant-frequency current-mode PWM boost DC-DC converter optimized for low-noise 30V bias generation in TV tuner and set-top box applications. It operates from 3V to 11V input, delivers up to 4mA output current at 30V, integrates a 40V lateral DMOS switch, and switches at 500kHz with 1μA shutdown current in a 6-pin SOT23 package.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5028EUT+T datasheet, MAX5028EUT+T pinout, MAX5028EUT+T application, or MAX5028EUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 30V output accuracy (±3% FB set point), 3V minimum startup voltage, thermal shutdown at 140°C, discontinuous conduction mode for reduced EMI, and compatibility with Schottky diode + ceramic LC filtering for sub-mV ripple.
Technical Context
The MAX5028EUT+T implements a BiCMOS current-mode PWM architecture with direct-summing comparator control-eliminating traditional error amplifier phase shift for cycle-by-cycle regulation. Its internal 40V DMOS switch features 1.3Ω typical on-resistance and 260mA current limit (input-voltage dependent), enabling efficient boost conversion up to 36V output.
It operates exclusively in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to suppress output voltage spikes during LX switching transitions, and incorporates a 40ns LX turn-off slew rate control to reduce dV/dt-induced noise. The FB pin is internally connected to a precision 30V divider (29.0V–31.0V tolerance), eliminating external resistors while maintaining ±3% output voltage accuracy over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 30V ±3% (29.0V–31.0V); enables direct varactor biasing without feedback resistor network. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 11.0V; supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V/5V rails, and wide-input industrial supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz typical (410–670kHz range); allows compact 47µH inductor and ceramic output capacitor sizing. |
| Internal Switch | 40V lateral DMOS with 1.3Ω typical RON; supports up to 36V output with integrated 260mA current limit. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA maximum; ensures ultra-low power loss during system sleep or standby modes. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C with 2°C hysteresis; protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Package | SOT23-6; 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint with PGND/GND separation for low-noise star grounding. |
Pinout & Package
MAX5028EUT+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 6-pin SOT23 package with separate power ground (PGND) and signal ground (GND) pins to minimize noise coupling in high-gain analog bias applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - PGND | Power Ground | Low-impedance return path for LX switch current; must connect directly to local ground plane via short trace. |
| 2 - GND | Signal Ground | Analog reference for FB and SHDN; requires star-ground connection with PGND at single point to avoid ground loops. |
| 3 - FB | Feedback Input | Internally tied to 30V divider; no external resistors needed-simplifies layout and improves long-term stability. |
| 4 - SHDN | Shutdown Control | Active-low logic input; <0.8V disables switching and reduces ICC to ≤1µA; >2.4V enables operation. |
| 5 - VCC | Supply Input | 3V–11V input rail; requires local 4.7µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 6 - LX | Switch Node | Drain of internal 40V DMOS; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; minimize trace area to reduce EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 30V Output | Eliminates external feedback resistors-reduces BOM count, layout area, and drift-related output error. |
| Discontinuous Conduction Mode | Prevents reverse-recovery voltage spikes across output diode, enabling lower-noise output than continuous-mode alternatives. |
| 40ns LX Turn-Off Slew Rate | Reduces high-frequency EMI content at LX node, easing compliance with FCC Class B conducted emissions limits. |
| Separate PGND/GND Pins | Enables clean star-ground topology-critical for <1mVpp output ripple in varactor tuning applications. |
| 1µA Shutdown Current | Supports battery-backed systems requiring multi-year shelf life or ultra-low-power wake-on-event architectures. |
Applications
| TV Tuner Power Supply | Set-Top Box Tuner Power Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61040DBVR | Adjustable output (1.8–28V), 5V min input, 28V max output, 28V internal switch | Requires external feedback resistors; unsuitable for direct 30V replacement without redesign | Select only if adjustable output and higher input voltage (>4.5V) are acceptable trade-offs for broader vendor availability. |
| LT1930ES5#TRMPBF | Fixed 30V option available, but requires external feedback for 30V; 40V switch, 1.2MHz switching | Higher frequency increases EMI risk in sensitive RF tuner environments; needs RC filter for equivalent noise performance | Consider only when 1.2MHz operation aligns with system clock domain; verify layout changes for EMI mitigation. |
Compared with TPS61040DBVR and LT1930ES5#TRMPBF, MAX5028EUT+T provides true pin-compatible 30V fixed output with no external resistors, lower EMI due to 500kHz DCM operation, and guaranteed 3V startup-making it uniquely suited for space-constrained, low-noise tuner biasing without design iteration.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX5028EUT+T?
The MAX5028EUT+T has a fixed 30V output with ±3% tolerance, corresponding to a guaranteed range of 29.0V to 31.0V across -40°C to +85°C. This specification is derived from the internal FB set point of 29.0V–31.0V (typical 30V) and is validated per the Electrical Characteristics table in the MAX5025–MAX5028 datasheet Rev 2.
Can the MAX5028EUT+T operate from a 3.0V input supply?
Yes, the MAX5028EUT+T supports a minimum input voltage of 3.0V, confirmed by the "Input Voltage Range" specification (3.0V to 11V) in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Startup is functional down to 3.0V, and efficiency curves show stable operation at 3V input in Typical Operating Characteristics Figure toc05.
Does the MAX5028EUT+T require external feedback resistors?
No, the MAX5028EUT+T does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its FB pin is internally connected to a precision resistive divider calibrated for 30V output-unlike the adjustable MAX5026, which requires R1/R2. This is explicitly stated in the Pin Description table and Applications Information section.
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of the MAX5028EUT+T?
The MAX5028EUT+T supports up to 4mA continuous output current at 30V, as demonstrated in the Load Regulation plot (toc24) and Efficiency vs. Load Current graphs (toc04). This assumes 5V input, proper LC filtering, and thermal derating within the 695.7mW power dissipation limit at +70°C ambient.
How does the MAX5028EUT+T achieve low output noise?
The MAX5028EUT+T achieves low output noise through three integrated mechanisms: (1) discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation to eliminate diode reverse-recovery spikes, (2) controlled 40ns LX turn-off slew rate to reduce high-frequency EMI, and (3) separate PGND/GND pins enabling star-ground layout that isolates power and signal return paths-verified in the Typical Operating Characteristics waveforms (toc12–toc17).
