Product details
Overview
MAX5082ATE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 250kHz voltage-mode step-down DC-DC converter with an integrated 0.3Ω high-side MOSFET, supporting 4.5V–40V input and delivering up to 1.5A at adjustable 1.23V–32V output. It features external compensation, pulse-skip mode for light-load efficiency, and operates across –40°C to +125°C in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5082ATE+ datasheet, MAX5082ATE+ pinout, MAX5082ATE+ application, or MAX5082ATE+ equivalent, key selection factors include its 4.5V minimum input capability (vs. MAX5083's 7.5V), internal charge pump architecture, 1.228V FB reference tolerance, thermal shutdown at +160°C, and TQFN-EP package thermal performance (θJC = 1.7°C/W).
Technical Context
The MAX5082ATE+ implements voltage-mode PWM control with a fixed 250kHz oscillator (±25kHz over temperature) and supports external synchronization from 150kHz to 350kHz via SYNC. Its error amplifier delivers 80dB open-loop gain and 1.8MHz unity-gain bandwidth, enabling stable loop compensation across diverse L/C combinations.
It integrates a dedicated charge pump (C+/C− pins) to generate boosted gate drive for the high-side switch-enabling operation down to 4.5V input-alongside cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.7A typ), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection (4 consecutive ILIM events), and programmable UVLO via ON/OFF pin (1.23V threshold, 0.12V hysteresis).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V - enables direct connection to 5V, 12V, 24V, and 36V industrial rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 1.5A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGAs, microcontrollers, and analog subsystems from single-stage conversion |
| Switching Frequency | 250kHz fixed (±10%) - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency; synchronizable to external clock |
| FB Regulation Voltage | 1.228V ±12mV - sets output accuracy; used with resistive divider to configure VOUT from 1.23V to 32V |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 0.3Ω max at VBST–VLX = 6V - limits conduction loss at 1.5A load (≤0.675W dissipation) |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed environments |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment |
Pinout & Package
MAX5082ATE+ is housed in a 5mm × 5mm, 16-pin TQFN package with exposed pad (EP) thermally connected to SGND. The package supports 2.7W continuous power dissipation at TA = +70°C (derated 33.3mW/°C above), with θJA = 30°C/W and θJC = 1.7°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (COMP) | Error amplifier output | Connects to external RC network for loop compensation; determines stability and transient response |
| 2 (FB) | Feedback regulation node | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates to 1.228V reference for precise VOUT setting |
| 3 (ON/OFF) | Enable & external UVLO control | 1.23V rising threshold enables sequencing; resistive divider from IN sets custom startup voltage |

| 5 (SYNC) | Oscillator synchronization input | Accepts 150–350kHz external clock; eliminates beat frequencies in multi-converter systems |
| 6 (DVREG) | High-side gate driver supply | Connected to REG; powers bootstrap circuitry for NMOS high-side switch turn-on |
| 7 (C+), 8 (C−) | Charge-pump flying capacitor terminals | Enable low-VIN operation (≥4.5V); require 0.1µF ceramic CF capacitor between C+ and C− |
| 9 (PGND) | Power ground return | Carries high di/dt switching currents; must be tied to SGND at single point near input capacitor |
| 10 (BST) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Drives high-side gate; requires CBST capacitor (≥0.1µF ceramic) between BST and LX |
| 11–12 (LX) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and freewheeling diode anode; carries pulsed high-current waveform |
| 13–14 (IN) | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–40V unregulated input; feeds internal regulator (REG) and high-side switch |
| 15 (REG) | Internal 5V LDO output | Powers internal circuitry; bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic cap; not intended for external loads |
| 16 (SGND) | Signal ground reference | Analog reference for FB, COMP, SS; solder EP to large SGND plane for noise immunity |
Key Features

| Pulse-skip (PFM) light-load mode | Reduces no-load supply current to 1.4mA typical, improving efficiency at <10% load without audible switching noise |
| Programmable undervoltage lockout | Allows precise power-rail sequencing via ON/OFF pin divider-prevents erratic behavior during brownout or hot-plug events |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Shuts down for 512 clock cycles after four consecutive current-limit events, preventing thermal runaway during sustained fault conditions |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX5083ATE+ | Higher 7.5V minimum input; no internal charge pump (C+/C− pins omitted); 8V REG output vs. 5V | Suitable where input never drops below 7.5V (e.g., 12V/24V-only systems); eliminates flying capacitor components | Select MAX5083ATE+ when 4.5V operation is unnecessary and board space must be minimized by removing CF/CBST |
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100); wider 4.5V–65V input; 1.5A; integrated boot diode; no charge pump | Designed for automotive front-end power with enhanced ESD/EMI robustness; lacks C+/C− but includes spread-spectrum | Choose LM5164QDDARQ1 for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification and >40V surge tolerance |
Compared with MAX5083ATE+, the MAX5082ATE+ provides unique 4.5V start-up capability via its charge pump, while LM5164QDDARQ1 offers automotive qualification and higher input voltage margin-but neither replicates the MAX5082ATE+'s combination of ultra-low-VIN support, thermal robustness, and industrial temperature range in a 16-pin TQFN.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the MAX5082ATE+?
The MAX5082ATE+ supports a minimum input voltage of 4.5V, enabled by its internal charge pump circuit connected to C+ and C− pins. This allows reliable operation during cold-crank conditions in automotive or brownout scenarios in industrial systems-unlike the MAX5083ATE+, which requires 7.5V minimum input.
Does the MAX5082ATE+ require external components for gate drive?
Yes-the MAX5082ATE+ requires external components for high-side gate drive: a flying capacitor (CF) between C+ and C−, a bootstrap capacitor (CBST) between BST and LX, and a boost diode from C+ to BST. These form the charge-pump-based gate-drive circuit essential for NMOS high-side switch operation at low input voltages.
How does the MAX5082ATE+ handle output short-circuit conditions?
The MAX5082ATE+ uses hiccup-mode protection: upon detecting four consecutive cycle-by-cycle current-limit events, it discharges the soft-start capacitor, shuts down for 512 clock periods (~2ms at 250kHz), then restarts with soft-start. This prevents thermal damage during sustained shorts while allowing automatic recovery.
Can the MAX5082ATE+ be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes-the MAX5082ATE+ accepts an external clock signal on the SYNC pin, supporting synchronization from 150kHz to 350kHz. When SYNC is grounded, it defaults to its internal 250kHz oscillator. Synchronization eliminates beat frequencies in multi-rail systems and aids EMI compliance testing.
What is the purpose of the SS pin on the MAX5082ATE+?
The SS pin on the MAX5082ATE+ serves dual functions: it provides a 1.228V precision reference for the feedback loop and sources a 15µA current to charge an external capacitor (CSS), controlling the soft-start ramp time. This ensures controlled output voltage rise and prevents inrush current during power-up.
