Product details
Overview
The MAX5033BUSA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, 76V-input, fixed-5V output step-down DC-DC converter featuring internal 0.4Ω high-side DMOS FET, 125kHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, and pulse-skipping mode for light-load efficiency. It delivers up to 500mA output current, consumes only 270μA quiescent current at no load, and operates across 0°C to +85°C in an 8-pin SO package - ideal for industrial power supplies and distributed power architectures.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5033BUSA+ datasheet, MAX5033BUSA+ pinout, MAX5033BUSA+ application, or MAX5033BUSA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 7.5–76V input range, ±2.5% output voltage accuracy over load/temperature, integrated thermal shutdown and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, and compatibility with standard 220µH inductors and Schottky rectifiers like 50SQ100.
Technical Context
This voltage-mode buck regulator uses feed-forward control and internal compensation to maintain stability across wide VIN ranges without external loop components. Its integrated high-side switch and bootstrap gate drive (BST pin) enable efficient high-voltage step-down conversion while minimizing external BOM count.
The device implements dual protection schemes: cycle-by-cycle current limiting with 0.95–2.1A peak switch limit, and thermal shutdown triggered at +160°C junction temperature with +20°C hysteresis. Undervoltage lockout activates at 5.2V (typ) on VIN, and ON/OFF control provides 1.50–1.85V rising threshold with 100mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7.5V to 76V - supports wide industrial and automotive battery inputs without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±2.5% (4.85–5.15V) - tightly regulated fixed output suitable for powering logic, sensors, and analog circuitry |
| Max Output Current | 500mA - limited by thermal dissipation in SO package (471mW @ 70°C ambient) |
| Switching Frequency | 125kHz (105–137kHz) - enables use of compact, low-cost magnetics and reduces EMI compared to higher frequencies |
| Quiescent Current | 270μA (typ) at no load - extends battery life in always-on systems |
| Shutdown Current | 10μA (typ) - enables ultra-low-power system-level sleep modes |
| Internal Switch RDS(ON) | 0.4Ω (typ) - minimizes conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency up to 90% |
Pinout & Package
MAX5033BUSA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with gull-wing leads, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, 1.27mm pitch, and rated for 0°C to +85°C operation. Thermal resistance θJA = 170°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Provides gate-drive voltage for internal high-side DMOS; requires 0.1μF ceramic cap between BST and LX |
| VD | Internal regulator output | Supplies bias for gate driver; bypassed to GND with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor |
| SGND | Signal ground reference | Must be connected to system ground; separates analog and power return paths |
| FB | Feedback input | Connected directly to VOUT for fixed-5V operation; senses regulated output voltage |
| ON/OFF | Enable/shutdown control | Pulled high (>1.69V) for operation; pulled low for 10μA shutdown state |
| GND | Power ground | Main return path for high-current switching node; tied to SGND externally |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 7.5–76V; requires local low-ESR bypass capacitor near pin |
| LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; carries high dv/dt switching waveform |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high-side DMOS FET | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and driver, reducing board area and component count |
| Internal frequency compensation | Enables stable operation with minimal external components - no compensation network required |
| Pulse-skipping light-load mode | Maintains >80% efficiency down to 10mA load while holding quiescent current at 270μA |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload by cycling on/off until fault clears |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at +160°C and restarts at +140°C, enabling self-recovery in intermittent fault conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5008AMM/NOPB | 4.5–75V input, 5V fixed output, 500mA, 1MHz switching, no internal compensation - requires external RC network | Higher frequency enables smaller inductors but increases EMI sensitivity and layout complexity | Choose when board space is critical and design team has experience tuning high-frequency buck loops |
| TPS54202DRCT | 4.5–28V input, adjustable 0.6–28V output, 2A, 400kHz–2.5MHz programmable frequency, integrated compensation | Lower max input voltage limits use in 48V+ systems; higher current capability adds margin but increases cost/size | Choose for lower-input systems needing flexibility and higher output current, not for 76V-rated designs |
Compared with LM5008AMM/NOPB and TPS54202DRCT, the MAX5033BUSA+ uniquely combines 76V input rating, fixed 5V output, internal compensation, and automotive-grade thermal protection in a single 8-pin SO package - making it optimal for high-input, space-constrained, and reliability-critical applications where simplicity and ruggedness are prioritized over programmability or ultra-high frequency.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX5033BUSA+ can withstand?
The MAX5033BUSA+ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +80V on the VIN pin, with recommended continuous operation up to +76V. Exceeding +80V may cause permanent damage. The device incorporates undervoltage lockout that prevents operation below ~5.2V, ensuring reliable startup across wide input transients.
Does the MAX5033BUSA+ require external compensation components?
No, the MAX5033BUSA+ features fully internal frequency compensation optimized for stability with standard output filter configurations. No external RC networks or type-II/type-III compensators are needed - simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials cost compared to controllers requiring external loop compensation.
How does the MAX5033BUSA+ handle short-circuit conditions?
The MAX5033BUSA+ employs hiccup-mode output short-circuit protection: upon detecting overcurrent, it shuts down the switch, waits a fixed interval, then attempts restart. This cycle repeats until the fault clears, limiting average power dissipation and preventing thermal damage - unlike latch-off or constant-current limiting schemes.
Can the MAX5033BUSA+ be used with a 24V input to deliver 5V at 500mA?
Yes - the MAX5033BUSA+ is specifically characterized for 24V input: at VIN = 24V, VOUT = 5V, and ILOAD = 500mA, typical efficiency is 90%. With proper layout (short traces, star grounding, 0.1μF BST/VD caps), thermal rise remains within SO-package limits even at full load and +85°C ambient.
What external components are mandatory for basic MAX5033BUSA+ operation?
Four components are mandatory: (1) input bypass capacitor (≥47μF low-ESR aluminum or ceramic), (2) output filter capacitor (≥33μF low-ESR), (3) 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between BST and LX, and (4) Schottky rectifier (e.g., 50SQ100) from LX to GND. Inductor value (220µH typical) and optional ON/OFF pull-up resistor complete the minimal BOM.
