2A Synchronous-Buck LED Drivers
with Integrated MOSFETs
MAX20050–MAX20053
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Automotive Ready: AEC-Q100 Qualified
The MAX20050–MAX20053 are high-brightness LED (HB
LED) drivers for automotive exterior lighting applications.
Consisting of a fully synchronous step-down converter
with integrated MOSFETs, the devices are capable of
driving a series string of LEDs at up to 2A, with a mini-
mum number of external components. The MAX20050/
MAX20052 utilize internal loop compensation to mini-
mize component count, while the MAX20051/MAX20053/
MAX20053D use external compensation for full flexibility.
● Fully Synchronous 2A Step-Down Converter with
Integrated 0.14Ω (typ) MOSFETs
● Wide 4.5V to 65V Input Supply Range
● Two Switching Frequency Options: 400kHz and
2.1MHz
● Internal Loop Compensation (MAX20050/MAX20052)
and External Loop Compensation
The wide 4.5V to 65V input supply range supports
extreme automotive cold crank and load-dump condi-
tions. A low- and high-switching frequency option (400kHz
or 2.1MHz) provides the designer with the flexibility to
optimize for solution size or efficiency, while avoiding
interference within the AM band. Spread spectrum pro-
vides further options for the designer to reduce EMI at the
system level. The MAX20050/MAX20051 have an internal
switching frequency of 400kHz, while the MAX20052/
MAX20053/MAX20053D have an internal switching fre-
quency of 2.1MHz. In addition, the MAX20051B has
spread spectrum disabled.
(MAX20051/MAX20053/MAX20053D) Options
● Switching Frequency Synchronized to PWM Dimming
Signal
● Active-Low Fault (FLT) Indicator
● Output Short-Circuit Protection
● High-Side Current Regulation Eliminates One
Connection to LED String
● Spread-Spectrum Mode Alleviates EMI Problems
● Low 200mV Full-Scale High-Side Current-Sense
Voltage
High-side current regulation means only a single
connection to the LED string is required; grounding of the
string can be done locally. In addition to PWM dimming,
the ICs provide analog dimming using the REFI pin. Full-
scale current regulation accuracy is ±2.5%, while the
accuracy is ±8% at 10% of full-scale over the full tempera-
ture range of -40°C to +125°C. A 5V, 10mA LDO output is
available for biasing other circuits.
● REFI Pin Adjusts LED Current Down to Zero
● PWM Dimming Disconnects Both High- and Low-
Side MOSFET Drivers
● 5V, 10mA LDO Output Provides Bias to Other
Circuits
● Ultra-Low Shutdown Current (5µA, typ)
Fault-protection mechanisms include output overload,
short-circuit, and device overtemperature protection. The
devices are specified for operation over the full -40°C to
+125°C temperature range and are available in thermally
enhanced 12-pin (3mm x 3mm) TDFN, 14-pin (5mm x
4.4mm) TSSOP, and 24-pin TQFN (4mm x 4mm) pack-
ages with an exposed pad.
