Product details
Overview
The MAX5035AASA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-voltage, 1A step-down DC-DC converter with fixed 3.3V output, operating from 7.5V to 76V input and consuming only 270µA quiescent current at no load. It integrates a 0.4Ω high-side DMOS FET, internal frequency compensation, and operates at a fixed 125kHz switching frequency with pulse-skipping mode for light-load efficiency. Used in automotive power supplies where wide VIN and high reliability are required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5035AASA+ datasheet, MAX5035AASA+ pinout, MAX5035AASA+ application, or MAX5035AASA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C) operation, and real-world alternative part comparisons - all grounded in Maxim's official electrical characteristics and typical operating data.
Technical Context
This voltage-mode buck converter uses internal voltage feed-forward control and an integrated high-side N-channel DMOS switch to maintain stable regulation across its 7.5V–76V input range. Its fixed 125kHz oscillator (105–137kHz over temperature) enables predictable EMI filtering and supports up to 1A continuous output with cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
It features undervoltage lockout (5.2V typ), thermal shutdown at +160°C with 20°C hysteresis, hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, and a dedicated VD regulator (7.8V typ) for bootstrap gate drive. The FB pin regulates at 1.221V (±0.029V) for precise 3.3V output (±3.5% over line/load/temp).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7.5V to 76V - supports 12V/24V/48V industrial and automotive battery systems with transient tolerance up to 80V. |
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±3.5% - tightly regulated fixed output suitable for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - limited by package thermal resistance (170°C/W for SO-8) and internal 1.9A peak switch current limit. |
| Quiescent Current | 270µA (typ) at no load - enables low-power always-on subsystems without compromising battery life. |
| Switching Frequency | 125kHz (105–137kHz over temp) - balances efficiency, inductor size, and EMI filter complexity. |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA (typ) - ensures minimal leakage during system sleep modes. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and harsh industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX5035AASA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement, rated for automotive temperature operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Drives high-side FET gate via 0.1µF ceramic cap between BST and LX; enables efficient 76V operation. |
| VD | Internal regulator output | Provides ~7.8V bias for internal circuitry and BST charging; requires 0.1µF bypass to GND. |
| SGND | Signal ground reference | Internal analog ground node; must be connected directly to PCB power ground plane. |
| FB | Feedback sense input | Monitors output via direct connection (3.3V version); regulates at 1.221V reference for ±3.5% accuracy. |
| ON/OFF | Enable/shutdown control | Active-high logic input; 1.69V typical threshold with 100mV hysteresis; draws ≤150nA. |
| GND | Power ground return | Main power return path for LX switch and output rectifier; connects to SGND internally. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 7.5V–76V; requires local low-ESR bulk capacitance (e.g., 68µF) near the pin. |
| LX | Switch node | Drains high-side DMOS source; connects to external Schottky diode cathode and inductor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.4Ω high-side DMOS FET | Eliminates external MOSFET, reduces BOM count, and improves efficiency at 12V–48V inputs. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Enables stable loop response with minimal external components-no compensation network required. |
| Pulse-skipping light-load mode | Maintains >80% efficiency down to 1mA load while holding IQ at 270µA, critical for standby power budgets. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Prevents thermal runaway during sustained output faults by cycling on/off until fault clears. |
| Automotive-grade temperature range | Guaranteed operation from -40°C to +125°C junction temperature, with thermal shutdown at +160°C. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5017MM/NOPB | Fixed 125kHz frequency, 1A output, but requires external compensation and has higher 1.2mA quiescent current. | Not qualified for automotive temp range; max operating temp is +125°C ambient (not junction), no thermal hysteresis spec. | Choose LM5017MM/NOPB only if external compensation is acceptable and ambient temperature stays below 105°C. |
| TPS54360BDDAR | Adjustable output (1.22V–60V), 3.5A output, but lacks integrated high-side FET driver optimization for >60V VIN and has 146µA typical IQ (higher than MAX5035AASA+). | Rated only for -40°C to +125°C ambient (not junction); no hiccup-mode short-circuit protection. | Use TPS54360BDDAR when higher output current or adjustable VOUT is needed, but verify thermal margin at full load in sealed enclosures. |
Compared with LM5017MM/NOPB and TPS54360BDDAR, the MAX5035AASA+ offers lower quiescent current (270µA vs. ≥146µA), guaranteed junction-temp-rated automotive operation, integrated compensation, and hiccup-mode fault recovery - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding 3.3V automotive and industrial supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX5035AASA+?
The MAX5035AASA+ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +80V, with recommended continuous operation from 7.5V to 76V. This allows robust use in automotive systems experiencing cold crank (down to 6V) and load dump (up to 80V) events, while maintaining regulation and protection functionality throughout.
Does the MAX5035AASA+ require external compensation components?
No, the MAX5035AASA+ includes internal frequency compensation optimized for stability with standard external LC filters. Maxim's datasheet explicitly states that no external compensation network is required - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count compared to controllers like the LM5017.
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX5035AASA+ over temperature and load?
The MAX5035AASA+ delivers 3.3V output with ±3.5% total error over -40°C to +125°C junction temperature, full input range (7.5V–76V), and 20mA–1A load. This is confirmed by the Electrical Characteristics table showing 3.185V (min) to 3.415V (max) at TA = -40°C to +125°C.
How does the MAX5035AASA+ handle short-circuit conditions?
The MAX5035AASA+ employs hiccup-mode short-circuit protection: upon detecting overcurrent, it shuts down, cools, then attempts restart. This prevents thermal runaway and device damage during sustained faults - unlike latch-off or constant-current limit schemes used in some alternatives.
Is the MAX5035AASA+ pin-compatible with other variants in the MAX5035 family?
Yes, all MAX5035 variants (A/B/C/D/E, USA/UPA/ASA) share identical 8-pin SO and PDIP footprints and pinouts. The MAX5035AASA+ is functionally and physically interchangeable with MAX5035BASA+ or MAX5035DASA+, differing only in output voltage configuration and internal feedback reference.
