Product details
Overview
MAX5090AATE/V+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, 2A, 76V-input synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with fixed 3.3V output, internal 0.26Ω high-side DMOS FET, 310µA no-load quiescent current, and operation across -40°C to +125°C for automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5090AATE/V+ datasheet, MAX5090AATE/V+ pinout, MAX5090AATE/V+ application, or MAX5090AATE/V+ equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (6.5V–76V), thermal shutdown at +175°C, external synchronization capability (119–200kHz), soft-start programmability, and undervoltage lockout with 6.17V rising threshold.
Technical Context
The MAX5090AATE/V+ implements voltage-mode PWM control with voltage feed-forward and internal frequency compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide VIN variations without external loop compensation components. Its fixed 127kHz switching frequency (or externally synchronized mode) and automatic pulse-skipping at light loads optimize efficiency from full load to microamp idle states.
It integrates a high-voltage DMOS power switch, internal 7.8V analog regulator (VD), and comprehensive protection: cycle-by-cycle current limit (3.3A typ), hiccup-mode short-circuit response, and thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis. The ON/OFF pin supports both logic-level shutdown and external UVLO programming via resistive divider.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5V to 76V - supports 12V/24V/48V industrial and automotive battery systems with headroom for transients. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% - tightly regulated for powering MCU cores, CAN transceivers, and low-voltage logic without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - delivers sufficient power for embedded controllers, sensors, and interface ICs in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 310µA at no load - enables always-on functionality in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 127kHz fixed (or 119–200kHz syncable) - balances EMI control, inductor size, and efficiency across input range. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +175°C junction with +155°C restart hysteresis - provides robust fault recovery under sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Package | 16-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) - surface-mount footprint with exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation (θJA = 30°C/W). |
Pinout & Package
The MAX5090AATE/V+ is housed in a 16-pin thin QFN package (5mm × 5mm) with exposed thermal pad (EP), rated for 2.67W power dissipation at +70°C per JEDEC 51 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 LX | Switch node | Connection to source of internal high-side DMOS; ties to inductor and bootstrap capacitor (BST–LX). |
| 3 BST | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side gate via 0.22µF ceramic capacitor to LX; enables NMOS high-side switch operation. |
| 4 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 6.5V–76V; requires local low-ESR bypass capacitor to SGND for stability and ripple suppression. |
| 5 VD | Internal analog regulator output | 7.8V ±0.6V regulated supply for internal circuitry; bypassed with 3.3µF ceramic to PGND. |
| 6 SYNC | Frequency synchronization input | Accepts external clock (119–200kHz); grounded to enable internal 127kHz oscillator. |
| 7 SS | Soft-start timing control | Connects to external capacitor to program startup ramp time; defaults to 700µs internal soft-start. |
| 8 FB | Feedback reference input | Internally tied to 3.3V output for fixed-version operation; senses regulated output voltage. |
| 9 ON/OFF | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-compatible input (1.546V rising threshold); drives low to reduce supply current to 19µA. |
| 10 SGND | Signal ground reference | Must be connected to PGND; serves as reference for FB, SS, SYNC, and ON/OFF pins. |
| 11, 15, 16 N.C. | No connection | Not internally bonded; leave unconnected and unpopulated on PCB. |
| 12 PGND | Power ground return | Primary return path for high-current LX switching node and internal power circuits. |
| 13, 14 DRAIN | High-side switch drain | Internal connection to DMOS drain; electrically tied to VIN through internal switch during conduction. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Soldered to SGND plane for thermal conduction; required for meeting θJA and power dissipation specs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high-side DMOS FET | 0.26Ω RDS(ON) reduces conduction loss and eliminates need for external high-voltage MOSFET. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Enables stable operation with standard 100µH inductor and 100µF output capacitor-no external compensation network required. |
| Pulse-skipping light-load mode | Maintains >80% efficiency at 1mA load while holding quiescent current at 310µA-critical for always-on systems. |
| Programmable soft-start | External capacitor on SS pin sets rise time; prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up or wake-from-shutdown. |
| Robust protection suite | Includes undervoltage lockout (6.17V rising), cycle-by-cycle current limit (3.3A typ), hiccup-mode short-circuit response, and thermal shutdown. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX5090AATE/V+?
The MAX5090AATE/V+ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +80V, with guaranteed operation up to +76V. It is designed for automotive and industrial applications where battery rails may experience load-dump transients; sustained operation above 76V is not recommended per datasheet specifications.
Does the MAX5090AATE/V+ require external compensation components?
No, the MAX5090AATE/V+ features internal frequency compensation optimized for use with a 100µH inductor and 100µF output capacitor. This eliminates the need for external compensation networks, simplifying design and improving reliability across its operating range.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on the MAX5090AATE/V+?
The ON/OFF pin on the MAX5090AATE/V+ serves dual roles: it acts as a logic-level enable input (1.546V rising threshold) and supports external UVLO programming via a resistive divider from VIN. Pulling it low reduces supply current to 19µA, while connecting it to VIN enables automatic startup.
Can the MAX5090AATE/V+ be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the MAX5090AATE/V+ accepts an external synchronization signal on the SYNC pin within 119kHz–200kHz. When driven by a clean clock source, it locks its switching frequency to the external signal-reducing EMI interference in noise-sensitive systems such as data acquisition or RF modules.
What thermal performance can be expected from the MAX5090AATE/V+ in a 5mm × 5mm TQFN package?
In a standard JEDEC 51 multilayer board layout, the MAX5090AATE/V+ achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 30°C/W. With proper PCB copper pour and EP soldering, it safely dissipates 2.67W at +70°C ambient-supporting full 2A output under typical automotive and industrial thermal conditions.
