Product details
Overview
The MAX5035BASA-T from Maxim Integrated is a high-voltage, 1A step-down DC-DC converter with fixed 5V 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 range and AEC-Q100–compatible thermal performance (−40°C to +125°C) are required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5035BASA-T datasheet, MAX5035BASA-T pinout, MAX5035BASA-T application, or MAX5035BASA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 76V max input rating, 5V ±1.5% output accuracy over temperature and load, hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown at +160°C, and SO-8 package compatibility with automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX5035BASA-T employs voltage-mode control with feed-forward compensation and an internal high-side N-channel DMOS switch. Its fixed 125kHz oscillator enables predictable EMI filtering, while automatic transition to pulse-skipping mode below ~85mA load maintains >85% efficiency down to 10mA.
Undervoltage lockout activates at 5.2V (typ), and the ON/OFF pin features 1.69V rising threshold with 100mV hysteresis for reliable enable/disable sequencing. The BST pin drives the high-side gate via a 0.1µF bootstrap capacitor, and FB pin regulates output using internal 1.22V reference - though unused in fixed-output MAX5035B variants.
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 | 5.0V ±1.5% (4.85V–5.15V) - tightly regulated across −40°C to +125°C and 20mA–1A load. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - limited by SO-8 package thermal resistance (170°C/W) and internal 1.9A peak switch current limit. |
| Quiescent Current | 270µA (typ) at no load - enables always-on subsystems in vehicle infotainment or telematics without excessive battery drain. |
| Switching Frequency | 125kHz (105–137kHz) - balances inductor size, EMI, and efficiency; fixed-frequency simplifies filter design. |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA (typ) - ensures ultra-low standby power when ON/OFF pin is pulled low. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C junction with +20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
MAX5035BASA-T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, JEDEC MS-012AC, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 (BST) requires a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to LX; Pin 2 (VD) supplies internal gate drive and must be bypassed to GND; Pin 4 (FB) is internally tied to output for fixed 5V operation; Pin 5 (ON/OFF) controls enable/disable with 1.69V threshold; Pin 8 (LX) connects to external inductor and Schottky diode cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST (Pin 1) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Provides gate-drive voltage for internal high-side DMOS; requires 0.1µF ceramic cap between BST and LX. |
| VD (Pin 2) | Internal regulator output | Supplies gate driver and analog circuitry; must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic cap to GND. |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Internally connected to GND; must be tied to system ground plane at single-point star node. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 5V output; no external divider needed for MAX5035B variant. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 5) | Enable/shutdown control | Pull low (<0.8V) to enter 10µA shutdown; rising threshold 1.69V with 100mV hysteresis. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power ground return | Main ground path for LX current return and thermal dissipation; connect to large copper area. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main input supply | Accepts 7.5V–76V; requires low-ESR input capacitor (e.g., 68µF aluminum + 0.1µF ceramic) near pin. |
| LX (Pin 8) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; high dv/dt node requiring short, low-inductance routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.4Ω high-side DMOS FET | Eliminates external MOSFET and gate driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in space-constrained modules. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Enables stable operation with minimal external components - no loop compensation network required for standard LC filters. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Prevents thermal runaway during sustained output shorts by cycling on/off until fault clears, preserving device reliability. |
| Automotive-grade temperature range | Rated for −40°C to +125°C junction operation - qualified for under-hood and engine-control applications per AEC-Q100 stress test profiles. |
| Low-noise pulse-skipping mode | Maintains >85% efficiency at 10mA load while avoiding audible switching noise common in burst-mode converters. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX5035BASA-T?
The MAX5035BASA-T has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +80V, with continuous operation specified from 7.5V to 76V. This allows reliable use in 12V, 24V, and 48V automotive and industrial systems subject to load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2. Operation above 76V is permissible only for brief transients within the absolute maximum ratings, not for steady-state conditions.
Does the MAX5035BASA-T require external compensation components?
No, the MAX5035BASA-T includes internal frequency compensation optimized for stability with standard LC output filters. Unlike many buck controllers, it does not require external Type II or Type III compensation networks - simplifying design and reducing component count. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Internal Frequency Compensation" feature and typical application circuit.
How is the 5V output voltage set on the MAX5035BASA-T?
The MAX5035BASA-T is a fixed-output variant: its 5V regulation is implemented internally, with the FB pin pre-connected to the output. No external resistor divider is needed - simply connect FB directly to VOUT as shown in the typical application circuit. This differs from adjustable versions (MAX5035D/E), which require an external R1/R2 network to set VOUT between 1.25V and 13.2V.
What thermal protection mechanisms does the MAX5035BASA-T include?
The MAX5035BASA-T incorporates thermal shutdown at +160°C junction temperature with +20°C hysteresis, causing automatic recovery at +140°C. It also includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection that disables switching during sustained overloads, preventing thermal runaway and enabling safe fault clearing without latch-up.
Can the MAX5035BASA-T operate with an input voltage below 7.5V?
No - the MAX5035BASA-T is not specified for operation below 7.5V input. Its undervoltage lockout triggers at 5.2V (typ), but functional operation begins only above 7.5V due to internal regulator (VD) dropout and minimum duty cycle constraints. Attempting operation below 7.5V may result in unstable regulation, reduced efficiency, or failure to start; for lower-VIN applications, consider the MAX5033 or MAX5036 families.
