Product details
Overview
The MAX5099ATJ+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, automotive-grade synchronous buck converter IC with integrated high-side MOSFETs, 80V load-dump protection, and 2.2MHz programmable switching frequency. It delivers up to 2A on Channel 1 and 1A on Channel 2 across a 4.5V–19V input range, operating from –40°C to +125°C in a 32-pin TQFN-EP package. It is designed for demanding automotive power rails such as AM/FM radio and instrument cluster displays.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5099ATJ+ datasheet, MAX5099ATJ+ pinout, MAX5099ATJ+ application, or MAX5099ATJ+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive transient protection behavior, and real-world design implications of its out-of-phase operation, voltage-mode control loop, and integrated load-dump gate driver.
Technical Context
The MAX5099ATJ+ implements two independent voltage-mode PWM controllers with external compensation (via COMP1/COMP2), enabling precise loop tuning for transient response and stability across varying loads and temperatures. Each channel features dedicated enable (EN1/EN2), power-good (PGOOD1/PGOOD2), and feedback (FB1/FB2) pins, supporting flexible sequencing and output regulation down to 0.8V.
Its integrated load-dump protection uses an internal charge pump driving an external n-channel MOSFET via the GATE pin, clamping IN_HIGH to ≤21V during transients up to 80V. The device supports synchronization (SYNC input), adjustable frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz), and 180° out-of-phase operation (FSEL_1 = VL) to reduce input ripple and EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V–19V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (up to 19V sustained) |
| Output Current Capability | Up to 2A (Ch1) and 1A (Ch2) - limited by thermal dissipation in 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz–2.2MHz - programmable via ROSC resistor or SYNC input; enables AM-band avoidance and compact magnetics |
| Load-Dump Protection | Handles 80V transients - internal clamp circuit protects IN_HIGH rail; external MOSFET absorbs energy via GATE-driven gate drive |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 stress requirements |
| Efficiency (Typical) | 85% at 1.5A/5V & 0.75A/3.3V - measured at 300kHz, V+ = 12V, confirming low conduction and switching losses |
| Standby Current | 7µA (ON/OFF = low) - enables ultra-low-power shutdown mode for battery-sensitive systems |
Pinout & Package
The MAX5099ATJ+ is housed in a thermally enhanced, exposed-pad 32-pin TQFN package (5mm × 5mm, 0.5mm pitch), with EP connected to SGND for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 29.0°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 11 (ON/OFF) | n-Channel enable for load-dump circuit | Drives external protection MOSFET; pulling low disables both converters and reduces IQ to 7µA |
| 13 (V+) | Main power input rail | Supplies internal logic, drivers, and high-side switches; bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to SGND |
| 14 (VL) | Internal 5.2V LDO output | Powers low-side drivers (DL1/DL2) and gate-drive circuitry; regulated from V+, stable over temperature |
| 28 (DL1), 30 (DL2) | Synchronous rectifier gate drivers | Drive external low-side n-MOSFETs for Ch1/Ch2; support 100% duty-cycle operation with break-before-make timing |
| 26, 31 (BST1/VDD1, BST2/VDD2) | Bootstrap capacitor connections | Enable high-side gate drive above V+; require 0.1µF ceramic + Schottky diode per channel |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output automotive buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5143AQDPRRQ1 | Single-channel, 65V-input, 3.5A buck controller with external MOSFETs; no integrated high-side FETs or load-dump protection | Requires external high-side/low-side FETs and separate OVP circuit for load-dump; better suited for higher-current (>2A) single-rail designs | Select when higher output current or wider input range (up to 65V) is needed, and board space allows discrete FET layout |
| TPS65321A-Q1 | Dual-channel, 36V-input, integrated 2.5A/1.5A buck with built-in watchdog and reset logic; no load-dump protection or GATE driver | Lacks 80V transient handling; includes safety-monitoring features for ASIL-B systems but requires external TVS for ISO 7637-2 compliance | Prefer for safety-critical applications requiring built-in diagnostics, where load-dump protection is added externally |
Compared with LM5143AQDPRRQ1 and TPS65321A-Q1, the MAX5099ATJ+ uniquely integrates both high-side MOSFETs and a dedicated load-dump gate driver, eliminating four external FETs and associated gate-drive components while delivering certified 80V transient immunity - reducing BOM count and layout complexity for dual-rail automotive infotainment and cluster supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX5099ATJ+ can withstand during a load-dump event?
The MAX5099ATJ+ itself does not directly withstand 80V on its V+ pin. Instead, it protects the IN_HIGH rail using an internal clamp that limits voltage to ≤21V (max), while the external n-channel MOSFET - driven by the GATE pin - absorbs the full 80V transient energy. This architecture allows the MAX5099ATJ+ to safely manage ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a events without damage to downstream 5V/3.3V circuitry.
Does the MAX5099ATJ+ support independent enable and power-good signaling for each channel?
Yes, the MAX5099ATJ+ provides fully independent control and monitoring per channel: EN1 and EN2 are active-high enable inputs, while PGOOD1 and PGOOD2 are open-drain outputs asserting low when their respective output falls below 92.5% of the setpoint. This enables precise power sequencing - for example, using PGOOD1 to enable EN2 - which is critical in automotive systems with strict boot-order requirements.
Can the MAX5099ATJ+ operate with only one channel enabled while the other is disabled?
Yes, the MAX5099ATJ+ supports independent channel operation. Driving EN1 = low disables Converter 1 (including its high-side FET and DL1 driver), while Converter 2 remains fully functional if EN2 = high. Both PGOOD outputs reflect only their respective channel status, and the internal VL regulator continues supplying bias to active circuitry. No cross-channel interference occurs in this configuration.
What is the purpose of the FSEL_1 pin on the MAX5099ATJ+ and how does it affect switching behavior?
The FSEL_1 pin selects the relative switching frequency relationship between Converter 1 and Converter 2. When FSEL_1 = VL, both channels operate at the same frequency and 180° out-of-phase - minimizing input ripple. When FSEL_1 = SGND, Converter 1 runs at half the frequency of Converter 2 (i.e., fSW1 = fSW2/2), useful for optimizing efficiency vs. EMI trade-offs in multi-rail systems. Leaving FSEL_1 unconnected is not allowed.
How does the MAX5099ATJ+ achieve 80V load-dump protection without internal high-voltage transistors?
The MAX5099ATJ+ achieves 80V load-dump protection through a hybrid approach: its IN_HIGH pin is internally clamped to ≤21V, while the GATE pin drives the gate of an external n-channel MOSFET connected in series with the battery feed. During a load-dump event, the MAX5099ATJ+'s internal charge pump boosts GATE voltage to maintain the external FET in linear mode, dissipating the transient energy across the FET rather than the IC. This preserves the MAX5099ATJ+'s 19V absolute maximum rating while enabling 80V system-level immunity.
