Product details
Overview
The MAX5098AATJ+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, high-frequency DC-DC converter with integrated n-channel power MOSFETs, configurable as buck or boost regulators per channel. It delivers up to 2A from Converter 1 and 1A from Converter 2 in buck mode, operates from 4.5V–19V input, supports 200kHz–2.2MHz adjustable switching frequency, and integrates 80V load-dump protection for industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5098AATJ+ datasheet, MAX5098AATJ+ pinout, MAX5098AATJ+ application, or MAX5098AATJ+ equivalent, key selection considerations include dual independent enable/control (EN1/EN2), out-of-phase 180° operation, four-phase master-slave synchronization via CKO/SYNC, internal digital soft-start, and thermal shutdown at +165°C.
Technical Context
The MAX5098AATJ+ implements voltage-mode PWM control with external compensation (via COMP1/COMP2), enabling precise loop tuning for transient response and stability across wide input/output conditions. Each converter features independent feedback (FB1/FB2) with 0.8V reference and ±0.014V accuracy over temperature, supporting output regulation from 0.8V to 0.85×VIN (buck) or VIN to 28V (boost).
Its load-dump protection circuit uses an internal charge pump to drive an external n-channel MOSFET gate (GATE pin), clamping IN_HIGH to ≤21V during transients up to 80V. The device supports synchronization (SYNC input, 400kHz–4400kHz), clock output (CKO, 2×fSW), and 180° phase offset between converters to reduce input ripple and EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V–5.5V or 5.2V–19V; enables flexible supply rail design including automotive battery backup and industrial 12/24V systems |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz–2.2MHz; programmable via ROSC resistor to optimize size/efficiency trade-off and avoid noise-sensitive bands |
| Output Current (Buck) | 2A (Conv1), 1A (Conv2); limited by package thermal dissipation (2.759W at +70°C) and internal MOSFET RON (195mΩ/280mΩ) |
| Load-Dump Protection | Up to 80V transient handling on IN_HIGH; internal clamp limits voltage to ≤21V while sourcing up to 60mA into external MOSFET gate |
| Thermal Shutdown | +165°C with 20°C hysteresis; ensures safe operation under overload or poor PCB thermal layout |
| Power-Good Outputs | PGOOD1/PGOOD2 open-drain; assert low when output falls below 92.5% of setpoint, enabling reliable power sequencing |
| Standby Current | 7µA (ON/OFF = low); enables ultra-low-power system sleep modes without external disconnect circuitry |
Pinout & Package
The MAX5098AATJ+ is housed in a thermally enhanced 32-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) package with exposed pad (EP) connected to SGND for optimal heat dissipation and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 32 (SOURCE2) | Converter 2 MOSFET source node | Connect to switched inductor node (buck) or PGND (boost); defines low-side return path for Conv2 power stage |
| 2, 3 (DRAIN2) | Converter 2 MOSFET drain node | Connect to input rail (buck high-side) or inductor/diode junction (boost low-side); carries full output current and switching stress |
| 4 (PGOOD2) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Sinks current when Conv2 output drops <92.5% of regulation point; used for sequencing or fault signaling |
| 10 (GATE) | External MOSFET gate driver output | Drives gate of external n-channel protection FET; outputs ~IN_HIGH + 9V (typ) to ensure full enhancement during load dump |
| 13 (V+) | Main power supply input | Primary input rail (5.2V–19V); bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to SGND for stability and noise suppression |
| 14 (VL) | Internal LDO output (5.2V) | Powers internal logic and gate drivers; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic bypass to SGND; dropout ≤550mV at 40mA |
| 28 (CKO) | Master clock output | Outputs 2×fSW signal with 90° phase shift vs. Conv1; enables four-phase interleaving with second MAX5098AATJ+ |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal and electrical ground | Mandatory connection to SGND plane; largest copper area improves θJA (29°C/W) and reduces junction temperature rise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent buck/boost configuration | Each converter selectable as buck (0.8V–0.85×VIN) or boost (VIN–28V), enabling mixed-rail generation from single input |
| 180° out-of-phase switching | Reduces RMS input capacitor current by ~30% and lowers EMI peak amplitude compared to in-phase operation |
| Four-phase master-slave synchronization | CKO output drives SYNC of second device, enabling interleaved 4-phase operation for smoother output current and smaller output capacitors |
| Integrated 80V load-dump protection | Internal charge pump and clamp circuit eliminate need for external TVS or discrete protection IC in harsh automotive/industrial environments |
| Digital soft-start/soft-stop | 64-step internal ramp (2048 fSW cycles) prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up/down transitions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5143AQRHFTQ1 | Single synchronous buck controller (no boost mode); supports 3.5V–65V input; no integrated MOSFETs; requires external high-side FETs | Targeted at high-input-voltage automotive applications only; lacks load-dump protection and dual independent outputs | Choose when >65V input or AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification is required; not suitable for boost or load-dump scenarios |
| TPS544B25RTER | Dual 20A buck converter with PMBus interface; 4.5V–18V input; no boost capability; no load-dump protection; requires external compensation | Designed for high-current server/telecom applications with digital monitoring; lacks industrial transient robustness | Choose when telemetry, margining, or multi-phase current sharing is needed; not drop-in due to different pinout and control architecture |
Compared with LM5143AQRHFTQ1 and TPS544B25RTER, the MAX5098AATJ+ uniquely combines dual buck/boost flexibility, integrated 80V load-dump protection, and four-phase synchronization-making it optimal for space-constrained industrial systems requiring mixed-rail generation and transient resilience without external protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the MAX5098AATJ+?
The MAX5098AATJ+ supports a switching frequency range of 200kHz to 2.2MHz, set by an external resistor (ROSC) connected to the OSC pin. At ROSC = 6.81kΩ with FSEL_1 = VL, the typical frequency is 1.85MHz. Frequency accuracy is ±5% for ROSC between 5.6kΩ and 10kΩ, making it suitable for noise-sensitive applications requiring precise EMI control.
How does the MAX5098AATJ+ handle 80V load-dump transients?
The MAX5098AATJ+ handles 80V load-dump transients using its dedicated IN_HIGH pin with internal 21V clamp and GATE driver output. When a transient occurs, the internal charge pump drives the external n-channel MOSFET gate (via GATE pin), causing the MOSFET to absorb the energy. This protects downstream 5V/3.3V circuitry without requiring external TVS diodes or crowbar circuits.
Can the MAX5098AATJ+ operate in boost configuration on both channels simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX5098AATJ+ supports independent boost configuration on both Converter 1 and Converter 2. In boost mode, each output can be adjusted from VIN to 28V using external feedback resistors. SOURCE pins connect to PGND, DRAIN pins connect to the inductor-diode junction, and BST/VDD pins serve as driver bypass nodes-enabling true dual-boost operation for applications like LED drivers or sensor bias supplies.
What thermal performance can be expected from the MAX5098AATJ+ in a standard PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 2oz copper and 2cm² exposed EP copper pour, the MAX5098AATJ+ achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 29°C/W. At full 2A/1A buck load with V+ = 12V, power dissipation is ~1.8W, resulting in ~52°C junction rise above ambient-well within the +125°C max rating. Derating begins above +70°C at 34.5mW/°C.
Does the MAX5098AATJ+ support power sequencing between its two outputs?
Yes, the MAX5098AATJ+ supports precise power sequencing via independent EN1/EN2 inputs and open-drain PGOOD1/PGOOD2 outputs. For example, connecting PGOOD1 to EN2 ensures Converter 2 starts only after Converter 1 reaches regulation. Similarly, tying PGOOD2 to downstream circuitry enables cascaded enable logic-critical for FPGA, DSP, or multi-rail ASIC power-up sequences.
