General Description
The MAX5092A/MAX5092B/MAX5093A/MAX5093B lowquiescent-current, low-dropout (LDO) regulators contain
simple boost preregulators operating at a high frequency.
The devices seamlessly provide a preset 3.3V
(MAX5092A/MAX5093A) or 5V (MAX5092B/MAX5093B)
LDO output voltage from an automotive cold-crank
through load-dump (3.5V to 80V) input voltage conditions. The MAX5092_/MAX5093_ deliver up to 250mA
with excellent load and line regulation. During normal
operation, when the battery is healthy, the boost preregulator is completely turned off, reducing quiescent current
to 65µA (typ). This makes the devices suitable for
always-on power supplies.
The buck-boost operation achieved by this combination
of LDO and boost preregulator offers the advantage of
using a single off-the-shelf inductor in place of the multiple-winding custom magnetics needed in typical single-ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) and
transformer-based flyback topologies. The high operating frequency of the boost regulator significantly
reduces component size. The MAX5092_ integrates a
blocking diode to further reduce the external component count. The boost preregulator output voltage is
preset to 7V. Both LDO and boost output voltages are
programmable using external resistors. The boost preregulator output voltage is adjustable up to 11V
(MAX5092_), or up to 12V (MAX5093_). The LDO output
voltage is adjustable from 1.5V to 9V (MAX5092_) or
from 1.5V to 10V (MAX5093_).
The devices feature a shutdown mode with 5µA (typ)
shutdown current, a HOLD input to implement a self-holding circuit, and a power-on-reset output (RESET) with an
externally programmable timeout period. Additional features include output overload, short-circuit, and thermal
protection.
The MAX5092_/MAX5093_ are available in a thermally
enhanced, 16-pin 5mm x 5mm thin QFN package and can
dissipate up to 2.7W at +70°C on a multilayer PC board.
