Product details
Overview
MAX5090BATE+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, 76V-input synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with fixed 5.0V output, delivering up to 2A continuous current, operating across -40°C to +125°C, and featuring internal 0.26Ω high-side DMOS FET, 310µA no-load quiescent current, and 127kHz fixed-frequency PWM control. It serves as the primary power stage in automotive infotainment power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5090BATE+T datasheet, MAX5090BATE+T pinout, MAX5090BATE+T application, or MAX5090BATE+T 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 automotive-grade temperature operation.
Technical Context
The MAX5090BATE+T implements voltage-mode PWM control with VIN feed-forward for stable regulation across wide input transients. Its integrated high-side DMOS switch and internal frequency compensation eliminate need for external loop components.
It supports automatic pulse-skipping mode at light loads to maintain >85% efficiency down to 10mA, while enabling external clock synchronization via SYNC pin for EMI-sensitive systems. Undervoltage lockout (6.17V rising threshold) and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection ensure robust startup and fault recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5V to 76V - supports 12V/24V/48V industrial and automotive battery rails with headroom for load dump. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±3% - tightly regulated for USB-powered peripherals and microcontroller I/O domains. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient to power dual-core MCUs, CAN transceivers, and display drivers simultaneously. |
| Quiescent Current | 310µA at no load - enables always-on subsystems (e.g., wake-up logic) without excessive battery drain. |
| Switching Frequency | 127kHz fixed (or syncable 119–200kHz) - balances EMI performance, inductor size, and efficiency in space-constrained designs. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +175°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload while allowing recovery under intermittent fault conditions. |
| Package | 16-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) - exposes thermal pad for direct PCB copper pour, enabling 2.67W dissipation at +70°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
MAX5090BATE+T is housed in a 16-pin thin QFN package (5mm × 5mm) with exposed thermal pad (EP), rated for JEDEC 51 multilayer board thermal performance (θJA = 30°C/W). The EP must be soldered to SGND plane for thermal integrity but cannot serve as sole ground connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 LX | Switch node | Connection to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; carries high dv/dt switching waveform - requires tight layout and Kelvin grounding. |
| 3 BST | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side gate via 0.22µF ceramic capacitor to LX; critical for sustaining 100% duty cycle capability during low-VIN operation. |
| 4 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 6.5V–76V; requires local 68µF low-ESR bypass capacitor to PGND to suppress high-frequency ripple and prevent UVLO false triggering. |
| 5 VD | Internal LDO output | 7.8V regulated supply powering gate driver and analog circuitry; bypassed with 3.3µF ceramic to PGND to stabilize startup and transient response. |
| 6 SYNC | Frequency sync input | Accepts external clock (119–200kHz); pulled to SGND for internal 127kHz operation - enables deterministic EMI reduction in synchronized systems. |
| 7 SS | Soft-start timing | Controls ramp rate of output voltage via external capacitor; default internal soft-start is 700µs - prevents inrush current into downstream bulk capacitance. |
| 8 FB | Feedback sense | Connected directly to VOUT for fixed 5V version; senses output to regulate error amplifier - no external divider required. |
| 9 ON/OFF | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-level input (1.546V max rising threshold); drives high for operation, low for shutdown (19µA ISHDN). |
| 10 SGND | Signal ground | Must be connected to PGND externally; separates noise-sensitive analog reference paths from high-current power return. |
| 11, 15, 16 N.C. | No connection | Not internally bonded - leave unconnected and unpopulated on PCB. |
| 12 PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for LX, DRAIN, and input/output capacitors - requires low-impedance polygon pour tied to EP. |
| 13, 14 DRAIN | High-side FET drain | Internally connected to LX; provides Kelvin sense point for current-limit detection - routed separately from main LX trace. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.26Ω high-side DMOS FET | Reduces BOM count and conduction losses - achieves 92% peak efficiency at 1A/12VIN/5VOUT without external MOSFET. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Eliminates need for external Type-II/III compensation network - simplifies design and improves production yield for 100µH/100µF output filter. |
| Pulse-skipping light-load mode | Maintains >80% efficiency at 10mA output - extends battery life in standby modes without requiring complex control firmware. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Shuts down for 10ms then retries - prevents thermal runaway during sustained output shorts while preserving system-level fault logging. |
| Automotive temperature range | -40°C to +125°C junction operation - qualified per AEC-Q100 stress test flow for engine control, ADAS camera, and body electronics. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 4.5V–65V input, 5V fixed output, 1A max, requires external compensation, no SYNC pin | Lacks synchronization and 76V rating; suitable only for ≤65V systems with less stringent EMI requirements | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 76V operation or EMI control; verify loop stability with external compensation. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX5090BATE+T can withstand?
The MAX5090BATE+T has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +80V, with guaranteed operation up to +76V. Its undervoltage lockout activates at 6.17V (rising) and releases at 5.67V (falling), ensuring clean startup and shutdown across wide battery voltage ranges. This makes the MAX5090BATE+T suitable for 24V and 48V industrial systems subject to load dump transients.
Does the MAX5090BATE+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAX5090BATE+T features internal frequency compensation optimized for standard 100µH inductors and 100µF output capacitors. This eliminates external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks, reducing design time and component count. The internal compensation ensures stable loop response across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range without tuning.
How does the MAX5090BATE+T manage efficiency at light loads?
The MAX5090BATE+T automatically enters pulse-skipping mode below ~60mA output current, reducing switching losses while maintaining regulation. This achieves >80% efficiency at 10mA load and only 310µA quiescent current at no load - critical for always-on subsystems in automotive and industrial applications where standby power budget is constrained.
Can the MAX5090BATE+T be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the MAX5090BATE+T supports external synchronization via its SYNC pin, accepting clock frequencies from 119kHz to 200kHz. When an external clock is applied for four consecutive cycles, the device locks to it and replaces its internal 127kHz oscillator. This capability enables deterministic EMI reduction in systems with multiple switching regulators.
What thermal protection mechanisms does the MAX5090BATE+T include?
The MAX5090BATE+T integrates thermal shutdown at +175°C with 20°C hysteresis, causing the device to halt switching and enter hiccup mode until die temperature falls to +155°C. It also includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection - collectively preventing damage during overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking scenarios.
