Product details
Overview
MAX5097BAUP+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-mode 40V, 600mA buck converter with integrated low-quiescent-current LDO regulator functionality. It operates as a high-efficiency PWM switcher (330kHz fixed frequency) under heavy load and transitions to LDO mode (<41μA IQ at 100μA load) during light-load or key-off conditions. Designed for automotive power systems, it delivers stable 5V output with ±1.2% initial accuracy and supports external synchronization, programmable soft-start, and integrated power-on-reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5097BAUP+ datasheet, MAX5097BAUP+ pinout, MAX5097BAUP+ application, or MAX5097BAUP+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal performance (–40°C to +125°C), and real-world selection guidance for dual-mode DC-DC conversion in battery-supervised systems.
Technical Context
The MAX5097BAUP+ implements current-mode PWM control in buck mode with an internal 0.9Ω p-channel high-side switch and supports external frequency synchronization from 300kHz to 500kHz. Its dual-mode architecture uses separate error amplifiers and compensation paths for buck and LDO operation, sharing only the pass element and reference.
LDO mode activation is controlled via the LDO/BUCK pin (logic-high threshold = 2.0V), with transition timing of 100μs to LDO and 32 clock periods to buck. The device integrates a 4V internal BP regulator (±7% accuracy), undervoltage lockout (3.65V rising, 0.2V hysteresis), and thermal shutdown at +165°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range (Buck) | +5V to +40V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank transients up to +45V absolute max. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 330kHz - enables compact magnetics (smaller inductor/capacitor) and places fundamental switching noise above AM band. |
| Max Output Current (Buck) | 600mA continuous - sufficient for microcontroller core rails, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces in automotive ECUs. |
| Quiescent Current (LDO) | 41μA typical at 100μA load - enables <100μA system standby current when paired with MCU-controlled LDO/BUCK pin assertion. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.2% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 5V I/O domains without external trimming. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +165°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload in sealed enclosures; 20°C hysteresis prevents thermal oscillation. |
| Reset Timeout Programmability | Capacitor-adjustable via CT pin - allows precise power-on sequencing alignment with downstream processors (e.g., Infineon AURIX™). |
Pinout & Package
MAX5097BAUP+ is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin TSSOP-EP package with exposed pad (EP) for improved heat dissipation (θJA = 46.0°C/W). The package supports 1.7W continuous power dissipation at TA = +70°C and is RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 15,16,17) | Power input supply | Accepts +5V to +40V; requires parallel ceramic + aluminum bypass capacitors to handle ripple current; withstands +45V transient. |
| LX (Pins 13,14) | Switch node | Drain of internal p-channel MOSFET; connects to inductor; voltage swings from –1V to VIN + 0.3V; peak current rating 2A. |
| OUT (Pin 11) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 5V (MAX5097B variant); requires ≥22μF low-ESR capacitor to PGND for stability in both buck and LDO modes. |
| ADJ (Pin 10) | Feedback reference point | Connected to SGND for fixed 5V output; senses 1.237V internal reference; bias current <100nA enables high-resistor-divider designs. |
| LDO/BUCK (Pin 9) | Mode select control | Logic-high (>2.0V) forces LDO mode; logic-low (<0.8V) enables buck mode; transitions occur within 100μs or 32 clock cycles respectively. |
| EN (Pin 12) | Enable input | Active-high enable with 1.4V threshold; internal 0.5μA pulldown ensures safe default-off state; withstands +40V for direct IN connection. |
| RESET (Pin 3) | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 90% nominal; timeout programmable via CT capacitor; compatible with standard microprocessor reset inputs. |
| COMP (Pin 8) | Buck loop compensation | External RC network sets bandwidth and phase margin; not used in LDO mode; critical for stability with selected inductor/capacitor values. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode topology (Buck + LDO) | Eliminates need for separate standby LDO IC; reduces BOM count and PCB area while maintaining <41μA quiescent current during vehicle key-off. |
| Integrated power-on-reset (RESET) | Provides configurable reset timeout without external supervisor IC; simplifies system-level power sequencing for multi-rail MCUs. |
| Programmable soft-start (SS pin) | Prevents inrush current-induced voltage droop on shared battery rails; soft-start time set by single capacitor (e.g., 0.047μF = ~11.5ms). |
| External frequency synchronization (SYNC) | Enables EMI reduction via spread-spectrum or channel-hopping in noise-sensitive environments (e.g., infotainment power supplies). |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Self-protecting operation under fault conditions; thermal shutdown + hysteresis avoids latch-up; current limit active in both buck and LDO modes. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5165QPWPRQ1 | Single-mode buck-only (no LDO mode); 65V input; 150mA output; no integrated RESET or soft-start. | Suitable for higher-input-voltage applications but cannot replace MAX5097BAUP+ in key-off ultra-low-IQ scenarios. | Select only if system does not require sub-100μA standby current and operates above 40V input. |
| TPS62130A-Q1 | Single-mode buck-only; 3.0–17V input; 3A output; integrated power-good but no RESET timeout programming. | Higher current capability but narrower input range; lacks LDO fallback and programmable reset timing. | Choose when high-output-current (≥1A) is required and automotive key-off IQ is managed externally. |

FAQ
What is the difference between MAX5097BAUP+ and MAX5097AAUP+?
The MAX5097BAUP+ delivers a fixed 5V output, while the MAX5097AAUP+ provides a fixed 3.3V output. Both share identical dual-mode architecture, 330kHz switching frequency, 20-pin TSSOP-EP package, and –40°C to +125°C automotive temperature rating. The 'B' suffix denotes the 5V version; 'A' denotes 3.3V. Pin compatibility and layout are identical, enabling single-board design reuse with only output capacitor and feedback resistor changes.
Can MAX5097BAUP+ operate with input voltage below 5V?
Yes - in LDO mode, the MAX5097BAUP+ operates from +4V to +40V input. When the LDO/BUCK pin is driven high, the device regulates 5V output down to VIN = 4V (with dropout voltage ≤0.37V at 100mA). Below 4V, the internal UVLO (3.65V BP threshold) disables operation. This enables reliable startup during battery brownout events common in automotive stop-start systems.
How is the RESET timeout period configured on MAX5097BAUP+?
The RESET timeout period on MAX5097BAUP+ is set by connecting a capacitor (CCT) from the CT pin to SGND. Using the formula tRP = (1.237V / 1μA) × CCT, a 0.01μF capacitor yields ~12.4ms timeout. The MAX5097BAUP+ RESET asserts low when VOUT falls below 90% of nominal and releases after the timeout once VOUT rises above 92%. This behavior is identical in both buck and LDO modes.
Does MAX5097BAUP+ require external compensation in LDO mode?
No - the MAX5097BAUP+ does not require external compensation in LDO mode. The LDO path uses an internal error amplifier with fixed compensation optimized for stability with standard output capacitors (≥22μF low-ESR). External compensation via the COMP pin is required only in buck mode, where the network must be tailored to the selected inductor and output capacitor values per the datasheet guidelines.
What thermal derating applies to MAX5097BAUP+ at elevated ambient temperatures?
The MAX5097BAUP+ has a thermal derating factor of 21.7mW/°C above +70°C ambient (per JEDEC 51 on multilayer board). At TA = +100°C, maximum continuous power dissipation is reduced to 1739mW − (30°C × 21.7mW/°C) = 1088mW. This corresponds to ~218mA output current at 5V output (assuming 100% efficiency), necessitating careful thermal design in sealed enclosures or high-temperature under-hood locations.
