Product details
Overview
MAX5090BATE+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-voltage, 2A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with fixed 5.0V output, operating from 7.5V to 76V input and delivering up to 92% efficiency at 1A load. It integrates a 0.26Ω high-side DMOS FET, internal frequency compensation, and operates across the automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) in a 16-pin TQFN-EP package. It is used in distributed power systems requiring robust, compact, high-efficiency regulation under wide-input conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5090BATE+ datasheet, MAX5090BATE+ pinout, MAX5090BATE+ application, or MAX5090BATE+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5.0V fixed output accuracy (±3%), 127kHz switching frequency with external synchronization capability, 310µA no-load quiescent current, thermal shutdown at +175°C, and compatibility with standard 100µH inductors and Schottky rectifiers such as PDS5100H.
Technical Context
The MAX5090BATE+ implements voltage-mode PWM control with voltage feed-forward, enabling stable regulation across a 10.3:1 input voltage range. Its integrated high-side DMOS switch and internal gate drive (BST pin) eliminate external driver components while supporting bootstrap operation for efficient high-side conduction.
It features automatic transition between fixed-frequency PWM mode (127kHz) and pulse-skipping mode at light loads to maintain high efficiency down to microampere loads. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (3.3A typ), hiccup-mode short-circuit response, undervoltage lockout (6.17V rising threshold), and thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7.5V to 76V - supports wide industrial and automotive battery-fed rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±3% - tightly regulated fixed output; no external feedback resistors required. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in harsh environments. |
| Switching Frequency | 127kHz (fixed) or 119–200kHz (synchronized) - enables predictable EMI filtering and avoids audio-band noise. |
| Quiescent Current | 310µA at no load - extends battery life in always-on systems such as telematics or remote monitoring. |
| Shutdown Current | 19µA typical - ensures minimal leakage during system sleep modes. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +175°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX5090BATE+ is housed in a 5mm × 5mm, 16-pin thin QFN package with exposed pad (TQFN-EP), optimized for thermal dissipation (θJA = 30°C/W) and space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | LX | Switch node - connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; carries high dv/dt and pulsed current. |
| 3 | BST | Bootstrap capacitor connection - supplies gate drive voltage for internal high-side DMOS via 0.22µF ceramic cap to LX. |
| 4 | VIN | Main input supply - requires local low-ESR bypass (≥68µF) close to pin; rated to +80V absolute max. |
| 5 | VD | Internal 7.8V regulator output - powers internal analog circuitry; bypassed with 3.3µF ceramic to PGND. |
| 6 | SYNC | External clock input - synchronizes switching to system clock (119–200kHz); grounded for internal 127kHz operation. |
| 7 | SS | Soft-start timing control - external capacitor sets ramp time; default internal soft-start is 700µs. |
| 8 | FB | Feedback input - internally tied to VOUT for fixed 5.0V output; not user-adjustable on MAX5090BATE+. |
| 9 | ON/OFF | Logic-level enable - <1.18V disables device (19µA shutdown); >1.546V enables; hysteresis prevents chatter. |
| 10 | SGND | Signal ground - must be connected to PGND; separates analog reference from power return paths. |
| 11, 15, 16 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or thermal tie required. |
| 12 | PGND | Power ground - primary return path for high-current LX and VIN loops; soldered to EP for thermal relief. |
| 13, 14 | DRAIN | High-side switch drain - internal connection point of DMOS; electrically tied to LX through switch channel. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground - must be soldered to SGND/PGND plane; not a substitute for pin 12 connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.26Ω High-Side DMOS | Reduces external component count and conduction losses; eliminates need for external MOSFET driver. |
| Internal Frequency Compensation | Enables stable operation with standard 100µH inductor and 100µF output capacitor - no loop compensation design required. |
| Pulse-Skipping Light-Load Mode | Maintains >80% efficiency at 10mA load - critical for battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
| External Synchronization Input | Allows EMI reduction by aligning switching edges with system clocks - avoids beat frequencies in multi-rail systems. |
| Hiccup-Mode Short-Circuit Protection | Shuts down and auto-restarts during sustained overloads - prevents thermal runaway without manual reset. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC I/O Power |

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 | 4.5–65V input, 5V fixed output, 1A max, 1.5MHz switching, no internal FET - requires external high-side MOSFET. | Higher frequency enables smaller magnetics but increases EMI sensitivity; lower current rating limits use in 2A nodes. | Select when board area is constrained and 1A suffices; avoid if 2A continuous load or 76V input tolerance is required. |
| TPS54260DGQR | 3.5–60V input, adjustable output, 2.5A max, 100kHz–2.5MHz sync-capable, integrated FET, but no BST pin - uses different gate drive architecture. | Lacks dedicated bootstrap pin; requires external bootstrap diode/capacitor; wider input range than MAX5090BATE+ but lower max input voltage (60V vs. 76V). | Prefer for designs needing adjustable output or higher switching frequency flexibility; verify thermal performance at 76V input - not rated. |
Compared with LM5164QPWPRQ1 and TPS54260DGQR, the MAX5090BATE+ offers superior 76V input tolerance, integrated 0.26Ω FET with dedicated BST drive, and guaranteed 2A operation across −40°C to +125°C - making it uniquely suited for automotive and railway applications where input transients and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX5090BATE+?
The MAX5090BATE+ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +80V at the VIN pin, with guaranteed operation up to +76V across the full −40°C to +125°C temperature range. This makes it suitable for 24V and 48V industrial systems, as well as automotive 12V/24V platforms subject to load dump transients per ISO 7637-2.
Does the MAX5090BATE+ require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No. The MAX5090BATE+ is the fixed 5.0V output variant and internally connects the FB pin to the regulated output - no external resistors are needed. The FB pin is not user-adjustable on this version; only the MAX5090CATE+ supports external resistor programming of output voltage from 1.265V to 11V.
How does the MAX5090BATE+ handle thermal overload conditions?
The MAX5090BATE+ activates thermal shutdown when junction temperature exceeds +175°C, turning off the internal high-side FET and entering hiccup mode. It automatically resumes operation once die temperature falls to +155°C. This behavior is documented in the Thermal-Overload Protection section of the MAX5090BATE+ datasheet and is fully characterized across temperature.
Can the MAX5090BATE+ be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the supported frequency range?
Yes. The MAX5090BATE+ accepts an external clock signal on the SYNC pin, supporting synchronization from 119kHz to 200kHz. When SYNC is grounded, it defaults to its internal 127kHz oscillator. The device locks to the external clock after four valid cycles and blanks the first 375µs of the SYNC ramp to ensure stable acquisition.
What is the recommended input capacitor configuration for the MAX5090BATE+ at 76V input?
For 76V input, Maxim recommends a 68µF low-ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitor in parallel with a ≥1µF ceramic capacitor near the VIN and PGND pins. This combination handles high ripple current, suppresses ESR-related heating at cold temperatures, and meets the peak-to-peak input ripple requirement of ≤100mV as specified in the MAX5090BATE+ application guidelines.
