Product details
Overview
MAX5090AATE/V+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, 76V-input synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with fixed 3.3V output, 2A capability, internal 0.26Ω high-side DMOS FET, and automotive-grade operation from −40°C to +125°C. It delivers up to 92% efficiency at 1A load (VIN = 12V), consumes only 310µA quiescent current at no load, and integrates frequency compensation for simplified design in industrial power supplies and distributed power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5090AATE/V+T datasheet, MAX5090AATE/V+T pinout, MAX5090AATE/V+T application, or MAX5090AATE/V+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 6.5V–76V input range, 3.3V/2A fixed-output capability, thermal shutdown at +175°C, external synchronization support (119–200kHz), and TQFN-EP package compatibility with high-power-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX5090AATE/V+T implements voltage-mode PWM control with VIN feed-forward, enabling stable regulation across wide input variations. Its internal 127kHz oscillator operates in fixed-frequency mode or synchronizes externally, while pulse-skipping mode maintains high light-load efficiency without external circuitry.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (6.17V rising threshold, 0.5V hysteresis), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.4–5.0A), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown (+175°C trip, +155°C recovery). The device uses an internal low-dropout regulator (VD = 7.0–8.4V) to power gate drive and analog circuitry, eliminating need for auxiliary bias rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5V to 76V - supports wide industrial and automotive battery inputs including 12V, 24V, 48V, and 72V nominal systems. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% (3.20V–3.39V) - tightly regulated for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and logic interfaces without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient for powering multiple SoCs or FPGA I/O banks in compact embedded systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 310µA typical at no load - enables always-on functionality in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 127kHz (±21kHz) - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency; supports external sync from 119kHz to 200kHz for noise-sensitive timing domains. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +175°C junction trip with +20°C hysteresis - provides robust overtemperature protection during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Package | 16-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm, 0.8mm height) - exposes thermal pad for direct PCB copper connection, enabling 2.67W dissipation at +70°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX5090AATE/V+T is housed in a 16-pin thin QFN with exposed thermal pad (TQFN-EP), optimized for thermal performance and space-constrained designs. Pin 1 is located at the bottom-left corner of the top view, with EP soldered to SGND/PGND plane for heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LX (Pins 1,2) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; carries high dv/dt switching waveform - requires tight layout and ground shielding. |
| BST (Pin 3) | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side FET gate via 0.22µF ceramic capacitor to LX; must be placed adjacent to IC for minimal loop inductance. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main input supply | Accepts 6.5V–76V; bypassed with ≥68µF low-ESR capacitor near pin to suppress ripple and EMI. |
| VD (Pin 5) | Internal LDO output | Provides ~7.8V regulated supply for gate driver and analog circuits; bypassed with 3.3µF ceramic capacitor to PGND. |
| SYNC (Pin 6) | Frequency sync input | Accepts external clock (119–200kHz); tie to SGND for internal 127kHz operation - enables deterministic EMI reduction. |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-start control | External capacitor sets startup ramp time; default internal soft-start is 700µs - prevents inrush current into large output capacitors. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback reference | Internally connected to VOUT for fixed 3.3V version; senses output voltage and closes regulation loop via internal error amplifier. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 9) | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-level input (1.546V max rising threshold); pull low for <19µA shutdown current - supports system-level power sequencing. |
| SGND (Pin 10) | Signal ground | Reference for FB, SS, SYNC, ON/OFF; must be tied to PGND at single point to avoid ground bounce in high-current paths. |
| PGND (Pin 12) | Power ground | Return path for high-current LX switching and internal FET - connects directly to thermal pad and bulk input/output capacitors. |
| DRAIN (Pins 13,14) | High-side FET drain | Internally connected to LX; not user-accessible - confirms integrated switch architecture and eliminates external MOSFET requirement. |
| N.C. (Pins 11,15,16) | No connection | Not bonded or functional - leave unconnected and unrouted to avoid parasitic coupling or accidental shorts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.26Ω high-side DMOS FET | Reduces BOM count and layout complexity while maintaining >92% peak efficiency - eliminates need for external high-voltage MOSFET and driver. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 4.5V–65V input, 3.3V fixed, 1A output, 1.5MHz switching, requires external compensation | Higher frequency enables smaller magnetics but lower current rating and no integrated sync capability | Select when board space is critical and 1A output suffices; verify loop stability with external compensation network. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX5090AATE/V+T?
The MAX5090AATE/V+T has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +80V, with guaranteed operation across 6.5V to 76V. This allows reliable use in 48V and 72V industrial and automotive systems, including scenarios with load-dump transients up to 76V. Operation beyond 76V is not specified and may compromise reliability or safety margins.
Does the MAX5090AATE/V+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAX5090AATE/V+T features internal frequency compensation optimized for standard 100µH inductors and 100µF output capacitors. This eliminates the need for external Type II or Type III compensation networks, reducing design time and component count while ensuring stable loop response across temperature and load conditions.
How does the MAX5090AATE/V+T manage thermal performance in confined spaces?
The MAX5090AATE/V+T uses a 16-pin TQFN-EP package with an exposed thermal pad soldered to a dedicated SGND/PGND copper plane. At +70°C ambient, it can dissipate 2.67W continuously; thermal resistance θJA is 30°C/W per JEDEC 51. For higher ambient temperatures, derating follows 33.3mW/°C above +70°C, and thermal shutdown activates at +175°C junction temperature.
Can the MAX5090AATE/V+T be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the supported frequency range?
Yes, the MAX5090AATE/V+T supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin. When driven with a clean square wave, it locks to frequencies between 119kHz and 200kHz. The internal oscillator defaults to 127kHz when SYNC is tied to SGND. Minimum pulse width is 350ns; shorter pulses may be ignored due to noise rejection.
What is the shutdown current consumption of the MAX5090AATE/V+T, and how is it controlled?
The MAX5090AATE/V+T draws 19µA typical shutdown current when the ON/OFF pin is pulled low. This pin accepts logic-level control across the full VIN range (up to 76V), with a rising threshold of 1.546V (max) and 100mV hysteresis. Pulling ON/OFF to ground disables the internal FET, turns off all bias circuitry, and places the device in ultra-low-power state.
