MAX20098
Versatile Automotive 36V 2.2MHz Buck
Controller with 3.5μA I
Q
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX20098 is an automotive 2.2MHz synchronous
step-down controller IC with 3.5µA IQ. This IC operates
with an input-voltage supply from 3.5V to 42V and can op-
erate in dropout condition by running at 99% (typ) duty cy-
cle. It is intended for applications with mid- to high- pow-
er requirements that operate at a wide input voltage range
such as during automotive cold-crank or engine stop-start
conditions.
● Meets Stringent Automotive OEM Module Power
Consumption and Performance Specifications

OUT
• Fixed 5.0V/3.3V or Adjustable 1V to 10V Output
• ±1.1% Output-Voltage Accuracy for 5V Fixed
Setting
● Enables Crank-Ready Designs
The step-down controller operates at up to 2.2MHz fre-
quency to allow small external components, reduced out-
put ripple, and to guarantee no AM band interference.
The switching frequency is resistor adjustable (220kHz
to 2.2MHz). FSYNC input programmability enables three
frequency modes for optimized performance: forced fixed-
frequency operation, skip mode with ultra-low quiescent
current, and synchronization to an external clock. The IC
also provides a SYNC output to enable two controllers to
operate in parallel. The IC has a factory-programmable
spread-spectrum option for frequency modulation to mini-
mize EMI interference.
