Product details
Overview
MAX5033DASA+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-voltage, adjustable-output step-down DC-DC converter operating from 7.5V to 76V input, delivering up to 500mA output current with 90% efficiency at 12VIN/5VOUT, 270μA no-load quiescent current, and fixed 125kHz PWM switching frequency. It integrates a 0.4Ω high-side DMOS FET and operates across the automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) in an 8-pin SO package for industrial power rails and distributed systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5033DASA+T datasheet, MAX5033DASA+T pinout, MAX5033DASA+T application, or MAX5033DASA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated thermal and protection behavior, confirmed adjustable feedback architecture (1.221V reference), and real-world design constraints including BST capacitor requirements, PFM threshold (35–110mA), and ON/OFF control hysteresis (100mV).
Technical Context
The MAX5033DASA+T employs voltage-mode control with feed-forward compensation and internal Type-3 compensation network, eliminating external compensation components. Its integrated 0.4Ω high-side DMOS switch enables high efficiency across wide input ranges while supporting pulse-skipping mode below ~65mA load to maintain low IQ.
It features dual protection architecture: cycle-by-cycle current limiting (0.95–2.1A peak), hiccup-mode short-circuit response, and thermal shutdown triggered at +160°C (±20°C hysteresis). The FB pin regulates to 1.221V (typ), enabling precise output adjustment from 1.25V to 13.2V via external resistor divider, with ±150nA bias current ensuring minimal divider error.
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 | Adjustable 1.25V to 13.2V - set by external resistive divider referenced to 1.221V FB pin |
| Max Output Current | 500mA - limited by thermal dissipation in SO package (θJA = 170°C/W) |
| Switching Frequency | 105–137kHz (typ 125kHz) - fixed PWM frequency ensures predictable EMI profile and filter design |
| Quiescent Current | 270μA (typ) at no load - enables long battery life in always-on industrial sensors |
| Shutdown Current | 10μA (typ) - reduces system standby power when ON/OFF pin pulled low |
| Feedback Reference | 1.221V (min 1.192V, max 1.250V) - tight tolerance enables ±1.5% output regulation over temp and line |
Pinout & Package
MAX5033DASA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package compliant with JEDEC MS-012, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance θJA = 170°C/W enables operation up to +125°C ambient with appropriate PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 0.1μF ceramic cap between BST and LX to generate gate drive for internal high-side DMOS |
| 2 - VD | Internal regulator output | Provides ~7.8V regulated supply for analog/digital circuitry; bypass to GND with 0.1μF ceramic |
| 3 - SGND | Signal ground reference | Internal analog ground node; must be tied directly to system GND plane |
| 4 - FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via external divider; regulates to 1.221V reference for adjustable output |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Enable/shutdown control | Rising threshold 1.69V (100mV hysteresis); drives low to enter 10μA shutdown state |
| 6 - GND | Power ground | Main return path for high-current switch node; connect to star ground point near rectifier and caps |
| 7 - VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 7.5–76V; requires low-ESR bulk capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 8 - LX | Switch node | Drives external Schottky diode (e.g., 50SQ100); connects to BST cap and inductor |

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 2.5V reference; 500mA output; 2.8–75V input; no internal compensation - requires external RC network | Lacks integrated compensation and PFM mode - higher BOM count and less efficient at light loads | Choose LM5008AMM/NOPB only if design requires adjustable compensation or lower cost per unit with existing layout flexibility |
| TPS54340DDAR | 100% duty cycle capability; 3.5–42V input; 3.5A output; external MOSFET drive - no integrated high-side switch | Higher current but narrower input range; requires external FET and gate driver - larger solution size | Choose TPS54340DDAR when >500mA output or <7.5V minimum input is required, accepting added component count |
Compared with LM5008AMM/NOPB and TPS54340DDAR, MAX5033DASA+T offers superior integration (internal 0.4Ω FET, Type-3 compensation, PFM mode) and wider input range (7.5–76V), making it optimal for space-constrained, wide-input industrial and automotive buck designs where simplicity and light-load efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the feedback reference voltage for MAX5033DASA+T?
The MAX5033DASA+T uses a precision 1.221V (typ) feedback reference voltage at the FB pin, with min/max values of 1.192V and 1.250V across temperature and process. This reference enables accurate output voltage setting from 1.25V to 13.2V using an external resistor divider, and its low ±150nA bias current minimizes divider error - a key specification confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX5033_A_ _.
Does MAX5033DASA+T require external compensation components?
No, MAX5033DASA+T includes internal Type-3 frequency compensation, eliminating the need for external capacitors or resistors in the feedback loop. This is explicitly stated in both the General Description and Applications Information sections, and confirmed by the "Internal Frequency Compensation" feature bullet - simplifying design and improving stability margin without sacrificing bandwidth.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal shutdown behavior of MAX5033DASA+T?
MAX5033DASA+T triggers thermal shutdown at +160°C junction temperature (TSH) with +20°C hysteresis, re-enabling operation once die temperature falls to +140°C. This behavior is documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables, and results in pulsed output under continuous overload - protecting the device while maintaining system awareness of thermal stress.
Can MAX5033DASA+T operate with input voltage below 7.5V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for functional operation of MAX5033DASA+T is 7.5V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Input Voltage Range". Below this, undervoltage lockout prevents switching; the internal UVLO threshold is 5.2V (typ), but the device requires ≥7.5V to sustain regulation and deliver rated output current.
What external components are mandatory for MAX5033DASA+T operation?
Mandatory external components for MAX5033DASA+T include: (1) 0.1μF ceramic BST capacitor between BST and LX pins, (2) 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor from VD to GND, (3) input bulk capacitor (e.g., 47μF low-ESR aluminum) at VIN, (4) output filter capacitor (e.g., 33μF tantalum), (5) Schottky freewheeling diode (e.g., 50SQ100), and (6) power inductor (e.g., 220μH). These are all specified in the Typical Application Circuit and Applications Information sections.
