Product details
Overview
The MAX5033BUSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-voltage, fixed-output (5.0V), 500mA step-down DC-DC converter operating from 7.5V to 76V input, featuring internal 0.4Ω high-side DMOS FET, 125kHz fixed-frequency PWM with pulse-skipping at light loads, and integrated thermal shutdown - used in industrial power supplies requiring wide-input, low-quiescent-current regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5033BUSA+T datasheet, MAX5033BUSA+T pinout, MAX5033BUSA+T application, or MAX5033BUSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world load-transient behavior, efficiency vs. input voltage curves, and validated alternative parts for 5V distributed power designs.
Technical Context
This voltage-mode buck regulator uses feed-forward control and internal compensation to maintain stable 5.0V output across 7.5–76V input range while delivering up to 500mA. It integrates a high-voltage DMOS switch (RDS(ON) = 0.4Ω typ) and internal 7.8V bias regulator (VD) for gate drive.
Operation includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO = 5.2V typ), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (ILIM = 0.95–2.1A), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown at +160°C with 20°C hysteresis. Shutdown current is 10μA (typ), and no-load quiescent current is 270μA (typ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7.5V to 76V - supports wide industrial bus rails including 24V, 48V, and PoE++/HVDC systems without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±2.5% (4.85–5.15V) - tightly regulated fixed output suitable for powering logic, sensors, and interface ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA - limited by thermal dissipation in SO-8 package (θJA = 170°C/W); derates above +70°C ambient. |
| Switching Frequency | 125kHz (109–137kHz over temp) - enables use of compact 220µH inductors and reduces EMI compared to MHz-range converters. |
| Quiescent Current | 270μA (typ) at no load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on industrial monitoring nodes. |
| Shutdown Current | 10μA (typ) - enables ultra-low-power system-level sleep modes without external disconnect circuitry. |
| Internal Switch RDS(ON) | 0.4Ω (typ) - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency up to 90% at 12VIN/5VOUT. |
Pinout & Package
MAX5033BUSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, JEDEC MS-012AC, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance θJA = 170°C/W (JEDEC 51). Pin 1 marked by beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 0.1µF ceramic cap between BST and LX to generate gate drive voltage for internal high-side DMOS switch. |
| 2 - VD | Internal bias regulator output | Provides ~7.8V regulated supply for gate driver; bypass to GND with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 3 - SGND | Signal ground reference | Internal analog ground node; must be tied directly to system GND plane to avoid feedback loop instability. |
| 4 - FB | Feedback input (5V fixed) | Internally connected to 5V output; no external divider required - simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance error. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-high (>1.69V) enables operation; logic-low (<1.50V) disables switching and reduces IQ to 10μA. |
| 6 - GND | Power ground return | Main return path for high-current switch node; connect to star ground point with minimal trace length. |
| 7 - VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 7.5–76V; requires local low-ESR input capacitor (e.g., 47µF aluminum + 0.1µF ceramic) placed adjacent to pin. |
| 8 - LX | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects internally to source of high-side DMOS; critical for EMI and thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high-voltage DMOS switch | 0.4Ω RDS(ON) enables single-chip 500mA buck conversion up to 76V without external MOSFET or driver. |
| Auto pulse-skipping mode | Maintains >80% efficiency down to 1mA load while holding quiescent current at 270μA - ideal for intermittent-sensing applications. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network; ensures stable operation with standard LC filter components (e.g., 220µH + 33µF). |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Shuts down on overload, cools, then retries - prevents thermal runaway during sustained output faults without latch-up. |
| Wide temperature grade | Specified for 0°C to +85°C ambient (U-grade), matching commercial/industrial control cabinet environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module Power | Railway Signaling Interface Supply |

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 | Fixed 5V output, 500mA, 8–75V input, 1MHz switching, no internal compensation - requires external RC network. | Higher frequency enables smaller magnetics but increases EMI filtering complexity; lower thermal robustness (no hiccup mode). | Choose LM5008AMM/NOPB only if board area is constrained and EMI filters are already present; MAX5033BUSA+T preferred for reliability-critical industrial use. |
| TPS54340DDAR | Adjustable 0.8–60V output, 3.5A, 3.5–42V input, 120kHz, integrated compensation, but lacks 76V rating and automotive temp range. | Cannot replace MAX5033BUSA+T in 48V+ or transient-heavy systems; higher current irrelevant for 500mA 5V loads. | Select TPS54340DDAR only when adjustable output and higher current headroom are needed; MAX5033BUSA+T remains optimal for fixed 5V, 76V-tolerant, low-IQ applications. |
Compared with LM5008AMM/NOPB and TPS54340DDAR, the MAX5033BUSA+T uniquely combines 76V absolute maximum input, integrated compensation, hiccup-mode fault recovery, and sub-300μA quiescent current - making it the most robust choice for fixed 5V industrial power where input transients, reliability, and standby power are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX5033BUSA+T?
The MAX5033BUSA+T has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +80V, with recommended continuous operation up to +76V. This allows safe operation across 24V, 48V, and 60V industrial bus systems, including transient surges per IEC 61000-4-5. Exceeding +80V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the MAX5033BUSA+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAX5033BUSA+T features fully integrated Type III compensation, eliminating the need for external resistors or capacitors in the feedback loop. This simplifies design, improves production yield, and ensures stable regulation with standard 220µH inductors and 33µF output capacitors - as validated in Maxim's typical application circuit.
How does the MAX5033BUSA+T behave during output short-circuit conditions?
Under sustained output short-circuit, the MAX5033BUSA+T enters hiccup-mode protection: it shuts down the switch, waits for die temperature to fall below +140°C, then attempts restart. This cycle repeats indefinitely, preventing thermal runaway and enabling automatic recovery once the fault clears - unlike latch-off devices requiring manual reset.
Can the MAX5033BUSA+T be used in automotive applications?
The MAX5033BUSA+T is rated for 0°C to +85°C ambient (U-grade) and is not qualified for automotive AEC-Q100. For automotive use, select the MAX5033BASA variant, which operates from -40°C to +125°C and is qualified for under-hood environments. Using MAX5033BUSA+T outside its specified temperature range may cause parametric shift or premature failure.
What is the purpose of the VD pin on the MAX5033BUSA+T?
The VD pin on the MAX5033BUSA+T outputs a regulated ~7.8V supply used internally to drive the high-side DMOS gate. It must be bypassed to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to the pin. This rail powers the bootstrap circuit and analog blocks - improper decoupling causes erratic switching or startup failure.
