Product details
Overview
The MAX5035AUPA+ 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 low IQ are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5035AUPA+ datasheet, MAX5035AUPA+ pinout, MAX5035AUPA+ application, or MAX5035AUPA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of specifications, validated pin functions, and confirmed alternative options for industrial and automotive 3.3V point-of-load conversion.
Technical Context
The MAX5035AUPA+ implements voltage-mode PWM control with feed-forward compensation, enabling stable regulation across its 7.5V–76V input range. Its internal 0.4Ω high-side DMOS switch and integrated gate driver (BST/LX bootstrap architecture) eliminate external drive components while supporting up to 1A continuous output current.
It features automatic transition between fixed-frequency PWM and pulse-skipping mode below ~85mA load, reducing IQ to 270µA (typ). Protection includes undervoltage lockout (5.2V typ), cycle-by-cycle current limit (1.9A typ), hiccup-mode short-circuit response, and thermal shutdown at +160°C with +20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7.5V to 76V - supports direct connection to 24V/48V industrial buses and 12V/24V automotive batteries with headroom for transients. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3.5% (3.185V–3.415V) - tightly regulated for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and logic interfaces without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - limited by package thermal resistance (110°C/W for PDIP); derates above +70°C ambient. |
| Quiescent Current | 270µA (typ) at no load - enables always-on systems (e.g., CAN nodes, telematics) with minimal standby power draw. |
| Switching Frequency | 125kHz (109–137kHz) - balances EMI control, inductor size, and efficiency; fixed for predictable filter design. |
| High-Side RDS(ON) | 0.4Ω (typ) - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency up to 86% at 12VIN/0.5A. |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA (typ) - allows deep sleep states in battery-backed systems without significant leakage drain. |
Pinout & Package
MAX5035AUPA+ is supplied in an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with through-hole mounting and JEDEC-standard footprint (0.300" width). Thermal resistance θJA = 110°C/W enables operation up to +85°C ambient without forced airflow when properly heatsinked via PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 0.1µF ceramic cap to LX; supplies gate drive voltage for internal high-side DMOS switch during on-time. |
| VD | Internal regulator output | Provides ~7.8V bias for internal circuitry; bypass to GND with 0.1µF ceramic cap to stabilize gate drive and analog blocks. |
| SGND | Signal ground reference | Must be tied directly to system GND; separates analog reference from power return path to minimize noise coupling. |
| FB | Feedback sense input | Internally connected to 3.3V output; no external divider needed-enables plug-and-play 3.3V regulation. |
| ON/OFF | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-high (>1.69V) enables operation; logic-low (<1.53V) forces shutdown with 10µA supply current. |
| GND | Power ground return | Main return path for high-current LX switching loop; must connect to SGND at single-point star ground. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 7.5V–76V; requires local low-ESR bulk capacitor (e.g., 68µF) placed adjacent to pin to suppress ripple and EMI. |
| LX | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects internally to source of high-side DMOS; forms switching node with Schottky diode cathode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.4Ω high-side DMOS FET | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in space-constrained designs. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Enables stable closed-loop operation with standard LC output filters-no external compensation network required. |
| Pulse-skipping light-load mode | Maintains >80% efficiency down to ~10mA load, extending battery life in intermittent-duty applications like remote sensors. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Prevents thermal runaway during sustained output faults by cycling ON/OFF until fault clears-protects both IC and external components. |
| Automotive-grade temperature range | Validated for 0°C to +85°C operation-meets requirements for under-hood and cabin electronics without derating. |

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 | 4.5V–75V input, 3.3V fixed, 0.5A output, 1MHz switching, no integrated compensation. | Lower output current and higher fSW require external compensation and smaller inductors; less suitable for 1A continuous loads. | Select LM5008AMM/NOPB only if board space is constrained and 0.5A suffices; verify stability with Type II compensation network. |
| TPS54340DDAR | 3.5V–42V input, adjustable output, 3.5A output, 100kHz–2.5MHz programmable fSW, external MOSFETs. | Wider regulation flexibility but requires external high-voltage FETs and compensation; not pin-compatible or drop-in. | Choose TPS54340DDAR when >1A output or adjustable VOUT is required; redesign PCB layout and feedback network. |
Compared with LM5008AMM/NOPB and TPS54340DDAR, the MAX5035AUPA+ offers higher output current (1A vs. 0.5A/3.5A), integrated 0.4Ω FET and compensation, and wider 7.5V–76V input range-making it optimal for fixed 3.3V, high-input-voltage, low-IQ industrial and automotive applications without layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX5035AUPA+?
The MAX5035AUPA+ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +80V, with guaranteed operation up to +76V. This allows safe use in 24V and 48V industrial systems and automotive applications subject to load-dump transients. Operation beyond 76V risks permanent damage and is outside the specified functional range.
Does the MAX5035AUPA+ require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, the MAX5035AUPA+ does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed 3.3V version (MAX5035A), its FB pin is internally connected to the regulated 3.3V output. External resistors are only needed for adjustable versions (MAX5035D/E), making MAX5035AUPA+ a true plug-and-play solution for 3.3V point-of-load conversion.
What package type and lead finish does the MAX5035AUPA+ use?
The MAX5035AUPA+ uses an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with through-hole mounting and a lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant finish denoted by the "+" suffix. It meets JEDEC standards and provides θJA = 110°C/W for thermal management in ambient temperatures up to +85°C.
How does the MAX5035AUPA+ achieve low quiescent current in light-load conditions?
The MAX5035AUPA+ achieves 270µA typical quiescent current by automatically entering pulse-skipping mode below ~85mA load. In this mode, it skips switching cycles while maintaining regulation, significantly reducing switching losses and gate drive current-ideal for battery-powered or always-on automotive modules.
Can the MAX5035AUPA+ be used in automotive applications requiring extended temperature range?
The MAX5035AUPA+ is rated for 0°C to +85°C operation. For full automotive (-40°C to +125°C) qualification, select the MAX5035AASA/V+ variant. While MAX5035AUPA+ functions reliably in cabin or non-under-hood automotive locations, it is not qualified for under-hood deployment per AEC-Q100.
