MAX5096/MAX5097
40V, 600mA Buck Converters with Low-
Quiescent-Current Linear Regulator Mode
General Description
Features
● High-Efficiency Switcher Mode (Buck Mode) or Low-
Quiescent-Current Linear Regulator (LDO Mode)
Operation
The MAX5096/MAX5097 easy-to-use, Dual Mode™,
DC-DC converters operate as LDO (low dropout) or
switch-mode buck converters. At a high output load,
the converters operate as high-efficiency pulse-width
modulated (PWM) switch-mode converters and reduce
the power dissipation. The devices switch to a low-
● Wide Operating Input Voltage Range
• +5V to +40V Buck Mode
• +4V to +40V LDO Mode
quiescent-current (I ) LDO mode of operation at light

Q
load. During the key-off condition, the system’s microcon-
troller drives the LDO/BUCK input on the fly and forces
the MAX5096/MAX5097 into LDO mode, thereby reduc-
ing the quiescent current significantly.
Output Voltage Versions
● 6μA (typ) Shutdown Current
● Fixed 135kHz or 330kHz Switching Frequency
● External Frequency Synchronization
● Programmable Soft-Start
In Buck mode, the MAX5096/MAX5097 operate from a
5V to 40V input voltage range and deliver up to 600mA
of load current with excellent load and line regulation.
The fixed-switching frequency versions of 135kHz and
330kHz are available. The MAX5096/MAX5097 DC-DC
internal oscillator can be synchronized to an external
clock. External compensation and a current-mode control
scheme make it easy to design with.
● Integrated Microprocessor-Reset (RESET) Circuit
with Programmable Timeout Period
● Thermal and Short-Circuit Protection
● -40°C to +125°C Automotive Temperature Range
● Thermally Enhanced Package Dissipates 2.6W at
T = +70°C (16-Pin TQFN) and 1.7W at T = +70°C

In LDO mode, the MAX5096/MAX5097 operate from a 4V
to 40V input voltage. The LDO mode operation is intended
for a lower output load current of up to 100mA. The quies-
cent current at 100μA load in LDO mode is only 41μA (typ).

The MAX5096/MAX5097 feature an enable input that
shuts down the device, reducing the current consump-
tion to 6μA (typ). Additional features include a power-on-
reset output with a capacitor-adjustable timeout period,
programmable soft-start, output tracking, output overload,
short-circuit, and thermal-shutdown protections.
The MAX5096/MAX5097 operate over the -40°C to
+125°C automotive temperature range and are available
in thermally enhanced 20-pin TSSOP or 16-pin TQFN
packages.
