Automotive-grade step-down for harsh environments
The Analog Devices MAX20075DATCA/V+ is a monolithic step-down (buck) switching regulator designed for automotive and industrial power rails that must survive wide input swings and high ambient temperatures. It delivers up to 600 mA from a 3.5 V to 40 V input, with an adjustable output from 1 V to 10 V. The 2.1 MHz switching frequency keeps the inductor and output capacitor small, and the synchronous rectifier eliminates the external Schottky diode, saving board area and improving efficiency.
Wide input range and thermal capability
The 3.5 V minimum input allows operation from a 5 V rail or a battery during cold-crank conditions, while the 40 V maximum handles load dump and 24 V truck systems without external clamping.
Lifecycle and compliance
The AEC-Q100 qualification is documented, supporting PPAP submissions for tier-one automotive programs.
