Product details
Overview
MAX5035CUPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-voltage, 12V fixed-output, step-down DC-DC converter with internal 0.4Ω high-side DMOS FET, operating from 15V to 76V input and delivering up to 1A output current. It features 125kHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, pulse-skipping mode for light-load efficiency, and automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation in 8-pin PDIP package. Used in industrial power supplies requiring high-input-voltage regulation with low quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5035CUPA+ datasheet, MAX5035CUPA+ pinout, MAX5035CUPA+ application, or MAX5035CUPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (15–76V), fixed 12V output tolerance (±3%), thermal shutdown at +160°C, 270µA no-load quiescent current, and compatibility with external Schottky rectifiers such as 50SQ100.
Technical Context
The MAX5035CUPA+ implements voltage-mode control with feed-forward compensation and integrates a high-voltage DMOS switch rated for 76V input. Its internal 7.8V regulator (VD) powers gate drive and analog circuitry, while BST pin enables bootstrap gate drive for the high-side switch using a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
It employs cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.9A typical peak limit), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis. The device transitions automatically between PWM and pulse-skipping modes based on load, maintaining ≥94% efficiency at 24VIN/0.5AOUT and 270µA quiescent current at no load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 15V to 76V - supports wide industrial and automotive battery-fed inputs without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage | 12.0V ±3% - factory-trimmed fixed output; no external feedback resistors required |
| Max Output Current | 1A - limited by thermal dissipation in PDIP package (727mW @ +70°C) |
| Switching Frequency | 125kHz (109–137kHz range) - enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering |
| Quiescent Current | 270µA at no load - enables long standby life in always-on systems |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA typical - ensures minimal battery drain during system sleep |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C junction temperature with +140°C restart hysteresis - protects against sustained overload |
Pinout & Package
MAX5035CUPA+ is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with through-hole mounting and JEDEC-standard thermal characteristics (θJA = 110°C/W). Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin description and block diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 0.1µF ceramic cap to LX; provides gate drive voltage for internal high-side DMOS switch |
| VD | Internal regulator output | 7.8V regulated supply for internal logic and gate driver; bypass to GND with 0.1µF ceramic |
| SGND | Signal ground reference | Internal analog ground node; must be tied directly to system GND plane |
| FB | Feedback input | Internally connected to 12V output; no external divider needed for MAX5035C variant |
| ON/OFF | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-level input; <1.5V disables regulator, >1.69V enables; 100mV hysteresis prevents chatter |
| GND | Power ground return | Main power return path for LX switch and output capacitor; tie to SGND at single-point star ground |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 15–76V; requires low-ESR bulk capacitor (e.g., 68µF) placed adjacent to pin |
| LX | Switch node | Drives external Schottky diode (e.g., 50SQ100); connects to inductor and BST capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 | 42V max input, adjustable output, requires external MOSFET and compensation; 100kHz fixed frequency | Suitable for lower-input-voltage industrial systems where 76V capability is unnecessary | Select when input stays below 42V and design flexibility (adjustable VOUT, external FET) outweighs integration benefits |
| TPS54160DGQ | 60V max input, adjustable output, integrated FET, 1.3A current limit; 100µA IQ in Eco-mode | Better suited for ultra-low-power battery systems needing sub-100µA quiescent current | Choose when input ≤60V and standby current is more critical than 76V surge tolerance |
Compared with LM5017MM/NOPB and TPS54160DGQ, the MAX5035CUPA+ uniquely delivers 76V input support, fixed 12V output, and automotive-grade thermal performance in a fully integrated PDIP package-making it optimal for high-reliability, high-input-voltage applications where simplicity and ruggedness are prioritized over adjustability or lowest IQ.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the MAX5035CUPA+?
The MAX5035CUPA+ supports a maximum input voltage of 76V, with absolute maximum rating up to +80V. Its operational input range is specified as 15V to 76V for the MAX5035C variant. This makes the MAX5035CUPA+ suitable for applications involving 24V, 48V, and 72V industrial or automotive bus systems where transient overvoltage tolerance is critical.
Does the MAX5035CUPA+ require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, the MAX5035CUPA+ does not require external feedback resistors. As a MAX5035C variant, it features a factory-trimmed fixed 12V output. The FB pin is internally connected to the regulated output, eliminating the need for an external resistor divider-reducing component count and improving accuracy versus adjustable alternatives.
What package type and mounting style does the MAX5035CUPA+ use?
The MAX5035CUPA+ uses an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with through-hole mounting. It is RoHS-compliant and lead(Pb)-free, indicated by the "+" suffix. The PDIP package offers robust thermal performance (θJA = 110°C/W) and is compatible with standard wave-soldering processes used in industrial PCB assembly.
How does the MAX5035CUPA+ manage efficiency at light loads?
The MAX5035CUPA+ automatically switches from fixed-frequency PWM mode to pulse-skipping mode under light loads, reducing switching losses and maintaining high efficiency. At no load, it draws only 270µA quiescent current, and in shutdown mode (ON/OFF = low), current drops to 10µA typical-enabling energy-efficient operation in always-on or battery-backed systems.
What external components are mandatory for basic operation of the MAX5035CUPA+?
Four external components are mandatory: (1) a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and LX, (2) a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from VD to GND, (3) a Schottky rectifier (e.g., 50SQ100) from LX to output ground, and (4) an inductor (e.g., 220µH for 12V output). Input and output bulk capacitors (e.g., 68µF each) are also required for stability and ripple suppression.
