General Description
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-
quiescent-current (IQ) LDO mode of operation at light
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.
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.
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.

Detailed Description
The MAX5096/MAX5097 are easy-to-use, high-efficiency,
PWM current-mode, step-down switching converters
in normal operation. The MAX5096/MAX5097 have an
internal high-side p-channel 0.9Ω switch and use a low
forward-drop freewheeling diode for rectification. In buck
mode, the p-channel switches at the 135kHz or 330kHz
frequency. Buck mode uses a current-mode control archi-
tecture that offers excellent line-transient response, eas-
ier frequency compensation, and cycle-by-cycle current
limiting. The buck converter is compensated externally
for a selected value/type of output inductor and capacitor.
The internal p-channel switch acts as a pass element
when operating in the low-quiescent-current LDO mode.
The LDO mode can be selected on the fly through the
LDO/BUCK input. During the key-off condition, the sys-
tem’s microcontroller drives the LDO/BUCK input high
and forces the MAX5096/MAX5097 into LDO mode,
reducing the quiescent current to 1μA (typ). When in LDO
mode, the device is capable of delivering up to 100mA,
which may be limited by the device power dissipation. The
LDO and switcher share the same pass element and the
reference; however, the error amplifiers are different with
their own compensation schemes.
The MAX5096/MAX5097 include an integrated micro-
processor reset circuit with an adjustable reset timeout
period. The internal reset circuit monitors the regulator
output voltage and asserts RESET low when the regulator
output falls below the reset threshold voltage. Other fea-
tures include an enable input, externally programmable
soft-start, optimized current-limit protection in both LDO
and buck modes, and thermal shutdown.
Enable Input (EN)
EN is a logic-level enable input that turns the device on
or off. The logic-high and logic-low voltages for the EN
input are 1.4V and 0.4V, respectively. Drive EN high to
turn on the device, and drive it low to place the device in
shutdown. Leaving EN unconnected disables the device
since the EN is internally pulled low with a 0.5μA current,
however, a forced pulldown of EN improves the noise
immunity. The MAX5096/MAX5097 draw 6μA (typ) of sup-
ply current when in shutdown. EN withstands up to +40V,
allowing EN to be connected directly to IN for always-on
operation. The converter may be turned on and off while
in both buck and LDO modes. Each time the EN is tog-
gled, the output rises with a programmed soft-start period.
Internal Regulator (BP)/Undervoltage Lockout
The MAX5096/MAX5097 include an internal 4V auxiliary
regulator to power internal circuitry. Bypass the auxiliary
regulator output (BP) to SGND with a 1μF ceramic capaci-
tor physically located close to the device. The regulator
is not intended to supply the external circuit other than
pulling up the LDO/BUCK input or RESET. Do not load
BP externally by more than 2mA. The regulator output
is regulated to 4V with 7% accuracy during steady state.
During turn-on, the BP voltage stabilizes after 250μs with
a 1μF capacitor at BP. Drive EN high to turn on the inter-
nal regulator. The internal UVLO with hysteresis ensures
stable operation, resulting in the monotonic rise of the
output voltage. The UVLO circuit monitors the output of
the regulator. The rising UVLO threshold is internally set
to 3.65V (BP rising) with a 185mV hysteresis (BP falling).
The 3.65V UVLO at the no-load BP output guarantees
operation at VIN lower than 4V.
Soft-Start (SS)
Soft-start provides for the monotonic, glitch-free turn-
on of the converter. Soft-start limits the input inrush
current which may cause a glitch, especially if the source
impedance is high. The soft-start period required also
depends on the output capacitance and the closed-loop
bandwidth of converter. The soft-start period for the
MAX5096/MAX5097 is externally programmable using a
single capacitor (CSS). The soft-start is achieved by the
controlled ramping up of the error amplifier reference
input. At startup, after VIN is applied and the UVLO
threshold is reached, the device enters soft-start. During
soft-start, 5μA is sourced into the capacitor (CSS) con-
nected from SS to SGND (Figure 2) causing the reference
voltage to ramp up slowly. When VSS reaches 1.237V, the
output becomes fully active. Set the soft-start time (tSS)
using following equation:
SS
SS SS
SS
V
tC
I
= ×
where VSS is 1.237V, ISS is 5μA, tSS is in seconds, and
CSS is in Farads.
Pulling EN low quickly discharges the CSS capacitor,
making it ready for the next soft-start period.

Output-Voltage Tracking/Sequencing
The output voltages of multiple MAX5096/MAX5097
converters can be made to track by using the SS pin
during turn-on and turn-off (see Figure 3). SS is pulled
up using a 5μA current source and connecting SS of
multiple MAX5096/MAX5097s, raising the references
with the same slope. Tracking the converters reduces
the differential voltages between the core and I/O volt-
ages during turn-on, turn-off, and brownout. If any one
converter output drops due to shutdown or an overload-
fault situation, the SS drops, pulling down all the convert-
ers simultaneously. The rate of fall of output voltages,
however, depends on the output capacitance and load of
the individual converter.
Multiple voltage sequencing can be done by daisy-
chaining several MAX5096/MAX5097s. The RESET of
the first converter can be connected to EN of the second
converter. This allows the first converter to come up first
every time the system is powered up.
Power-On-Reset Output (RESET)
A supervisor circuit is integrated in the MAX5096/
MAX5097. RESET is an open-drain output. RESET pulls
low as soon as VOUT drops below 90% of its nominal
regulation voltage. Once the output voltage rises above
92% of the set output voltage, the RESET output enters
a high-impedance state after the active timeout period
(tRP). The active timeout period is externally program-
mable using a single capacitor from CT to ground. Use
the following equation to calculate the required timeout
period for the power-on reset:
CT TH
RP CT
CH
V
tC
I
= ×
where VCT-TH is 1.237V, ICH is 1μA, tRP is in seconds,
and CCT is in Farads.
To obtain a logic-voltage output, connect a pullup
resistor from RESET to a logic-supply voltage. The
internal open-drain MOSFET can sink 1mA while provid-
ing a TTL logic-low signal. If unused, ground RESET or
leave it unconnected.
The power-on-reset behavior is the same in both the LDO
and buck modes of operation.
Oscillator/Synchronization Input (SYNC)
The MAX5096/MAX5097 internal oscillator generates a
factory-preset frequency of either 135kHz (MAX5096)
or 330kHz (MAX5097). The 135kHz version keeps the
maximum fundamental frequency below 150kHz, which
keeps the third harmonic below 450kHz and under the

lower end of the AM band. The MAX5096 is suitable for
noise-sensitive applications like AM radio power supply.
For an application where size is more important, use the
MAX5097, which runs at 330kHz frequency. The high-
frequency operation reduces the size and cost of the
external inductor and capacitor. The MAX5096/MAX5097
can be synchronized using an external signal. The
MAX5096 can be synchronized from 120kHz to 500kHz,
while the MAX5097 is capable of synchronizing from
300kHz to 500kHz. The external synchronization feature
makes frequency hopping possible depending on the
selected AM channel. Connect SYNC to ground, if not
used.
Thermal Protection
When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +165°C,
an internal thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic,
which turns off the regulator (both in buck mode and LDO
mode), and discharges the soft-start capacitor allowing
the IC to cool. The thermal sensor turns the regulator
on again after the IC’s junction temperature cools by
20°C, resulting in a cycled output during continuous
thermal-overload conditions. The thermal hysteresis and
a soft-start period limit the average power dissipation
into the device during continuous fault condition. During
operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction
temperature rating of TJ = +150°C.
Applications Information
Output Voltage Selection
The MAX5096/MAX5097 can be configured as either
a preset fixed-output voltage or an adjustable-output
voltage device. Connect ADJ to ground to select the
factory-preset output-voltage option (Figure 2). The
MAX5096A/MAX5097A and MAX5096B/MAX5097B
provide a fixed-output voltage equal to 3.3V and 5V,
respectively (see the Selector Guide). The MAX5096/
MAX5097 become an adjustable version as soon as the
devices detect about 125mV at the ADJ pin. The resistor-
divider at ADJ increases the ADJ voltage above 125mV
and also adjusts the output voltage depending upon the
resistor values. In adjustable mode, select an output
between +1.273V and +11V using two external resistors
connected as a voltage-divider to ADJ (Figure 4). Set the
output voltage using the following equation:
OUT ADJ
R1
VV1
R2

= ×+


where VADJ = 1.273V and R2 is chosen to be approxi-
mately 100kΩ.
Connect ADJ to GND if adjustable mode is not used.
Inductor Selection
Three key inductor parameters must be specified for
proper operation with the MAX5096/MAX5097: induc-
tance value (L), peak inductor current (IPEAK), and
inductor saturation current (ISAT). The minimum required
inductance is a function of operating frequency, input-to-
output-voltage differential, and the peak-to-peak inductor
current (ΔIP-P). Higher ΔIP-P allows for a lower inductor
value, while a lower ΔIP-P requires a higher inductor
value. A lower inductor value minimizes size and cost
and improves large-signal and transient response, but
reduces efficiency due to higher peak currents and higher
peak-to-peak output-voltage ripple for the same output
capacitor. On the other hand, higher inductance increases
efficiency by reducing the ripple current. Resistive losses
due to extra wire turns can exceed the benefit gained
from lower ripple-current levels, especially when the
inductance is increased while keeping the dimension of
the inductor constant. A good compromise is to choose
ΔIP-P equal to 40% of the full load current. Calculate the
inductor value using the following equation:

Use typical values of VIN and fSW so that efficien-
cy is optimum for typical conditions. The switching
frequency (fSW) is fixed at 135kHz (MAX5096) and
330kHz (MAX5097). fSW can also be varied from 120kHz
to 500kHz (MAX5096) and from 300kHz to 500kHz
(MAX5097) when synchronized to an external clock (see
the Oscillator/Synchronization Input (SYNC) section). The
peak-to-peak inductor current, which reflects the peak-to-
peak output ripple, is worst at the maximum input voltage.
See the Output Capacitor Selection section to verify that
the worst-case output ripple is acceptable. The induc-
tor saturating current (ISAT) is also important to avoid
runaway current during continuous output short circuit.
Select an inductor with an ISAT specification higher than
the maximum peak current limit of 1.9A.
The buck mode operation determines the inductor and
output capacitor values. However, the values of the
inductor, its DCR, and the output capacitance/ESR affect
the closed-loop-transfer function both in buck and LDO
modes. The internal compensation of the MAX5096/
MAX5097 in LDO mode limits the values of these exter-
nal components. Make sure that the combination of
output inductor, capacitor, and ESR falls within the range
specified in Table 1.
Output Capacitor Selection
The allowable output-voltage ripple and the maximum
deviation of the output voltage during load steps deter-
mine the output capacitance and its ESR. The output

ripple is mainly composed of ΔVQ (caused by the
capacitor discharge) and ΔVESR (caused by the voltage
drop across the ESR of the output capacitor). Normally,
a good approximation of the output-voltage ripple is
ΔVRIPPLE ΔVESR + ΔVQ. If using ceramic capacitors,
assume the contribution to the output-voltage ripple from
the ESR and the capacitor discharge to be equal to 20%
and 80%, respectively. If using aluminum electrolyte
capacitors, assume the contribution to the output-voltage
ripple from the ESR and the capacitor discharge to be
equal to 90% and 10%, respectively.
Use the following equations for calculating the output
capacitance and its ESR for required peak-to-peak
output-voltage ripple.

ΔIP-P is the peak-to-peak inductor current and fSW is the
converter’s switching frequency.
The allowable deviation of the output voltage during
fast-load transients also determines the output capaci-
tance, its ESR, and its equivalent series inductance
(ESL). The output capacitor supplies the load current
during a load step until the controller responds with a
greater duty cycle. The response time (tRESPONSE)
depends on the closed-loop bandwidth of the converter
(see the Compensation Network section). The resis-
tive drop across the output capacitor’s ESR, the drop
across the capacitor’s ESL, and the capacitor discharge,
causes a voltage drop during the load step. Use a com-
bination of low-ESR tantalum/aluminum electrolytic and
ceramic capacitors for better transient-load and voltage-
ripple performance. Nonleaded capacitors and/or multiple
parallel capacitors help reduce the ESL. Keep the
maximum output-voltage deviation below the tolerable
limits of the electronics being powered. Use the follow-
ing equations to calculate the required ESR, ESL, and
capacitance value during a load step:

where ISTEP is the load step, tSTEP is the rise time of the
load step, and tRESPONSE is the response time of the
controller. The response time of the converter is approxi-
mately one third of the inverse of its closed-loop band-
width and also depends on the phase margin.
Rectier Selection
The MAX5096/MAX5097 require an external Schottky/
fast-recovery diode rectifier as a freewheeling diode.
Connect this rectifier close to the device using short
leads and short PCB traces. Choose a rectifier with
a continuous current rating greater than the highest
output current-limit threshold (1.9A) and with a voltage
rating greater than the maximum expected input volt-
age, VIN. Use a low forward-voltage-drop Schottky recti-
fier to limit the negative voltage at LX. Avoid higher than
necessary reverse-voltage Schottky rectifiers that have
higher forward-voltage drops. Use a 60V (max) Schottky
rectifier with a 2A current rating. The Schottky rectifier
leakage current at high temperature significantly increas-
es the quiescent current in LDO mode. In applications
where LDO mode quiescent current is important, use an
ultra-fast switching diode to limit the leakage current. In
this type of application, use MURS105, MURS120 for
their fast-switching and low-leakage features.
Input Capacitor Selection
The discontinuous input current of the buck converter
causes large input-ripple currents and therefore, the input
capacitor must be carefully chosen to keep the input
voltage ripple within design requirements. The input volt-
age ripple is comprised of ΔVQ (caused by the capacitor
discharge) and ΔVESR (caused by the ESR of the input
capacitor). The total voltage ripple is the sum of ΔVQ
and ΔVESR. Calculate the input capacitance and ESR
required for a specified ripple using the following equa-

Compensation Network
The MAX5096/MAX5097 in LDO mode are compensated
internally with a compensation network around the LDO
error amplifier. When in buck mode, the DC-DC gM ampli-
fier must be externally compensated using a network
connected from COMP to ground. The current-mode
control architecture reduces the compensation network
to a single pole-zero. The RC and C network, connected
from the internal transconductance amplifier output to
SGND, can provide a single pole-zero pair. Choose all
the power components like the inductor, output capaci-
tor, and ESR first and design the compensation network
around them. Choose the closed-loop bandwidth (fC) to
be approximately 1/10 of the switching frequency. See
the following equations to calculate the compensation
values for the low-ESR output capacitor with ESR zero
frequency, approximately a decade higher than fC.

Switching Between LDO Mode
and Buck Mode
The MAX5096/MAX5097 switch between the buck mode
and LDO mode on the fly. However, care must be taken
to reduce output glitch or overshoot during the switching.
Buck Mode to LDO Mode
The LDO mode is intended for the low 100mA output
current while the buck converter delivers up to 600mA
output current. It is important to first reduce the output
load below 100mA before switching to the LDO mode.
If the output load is higher than 100mA, the MAX5096/
MAX5097 can go into the current limit and the output
drops significantly. Whenever the mode is changed,
output is expected to glitch because the loop dynamics
change due to different error amplifiers when operating in
the LDO and buck modes. The output-voltage undershoot
can be minimized by reducing the output load during
switching and using larger output capacitance.
LDO Mode to Buck Mode
When switching from the LDO mode to buck mode, a
fixed amount of delay (32 cycles) is applied so that the
buck converter control loop and oscillator reach their
steady-state conditions. The 32-cycle delay translates to
approximately 250μs and 100μs for 150kHz and 330kHz
switching frequency versions, respectively. It is recom-
mended that the output load of 600mA must be delayed
by at least this amount of time to allow the MAX5096/
MAX5097 to switch to high-current buck mode. This
ensures that the output does not drop due to the LDO
current-limit protection mechanism.

PCB Layout Guidelines
1) Proper PCB layout is essential. Minimize ground noise
by connecting the anode of the freewheeling rectifier,
the input bypass capacitor ground lead, and the output
filter capacitor ground lead to a large PGND plane.
2) Minimize lead lengths to reduce stray capacitance,
trace resistance, and radiated noise. In particular,
place the Schottky/fast recovery rectifier diode right
next to the device.
3) Connect the exposed pad of the IC to the SGND
plane. Do not make a direct connection between the
exposed pad plane and SGND (pin 2) under the IC.
Connect the exposed pad and pin 2 to the SGND
plane separately. Connect the ground connection of
the feedback resistive divider, the soft-start capacitor,
the adjustable reset timeout capacitor, and the com-
pensation network to the SGND plane. Connect the
SGND plane and PGND plane at one point near the
input bypass capacitor at VIN.
4) Use the large SGND plane as a heatsink for the
MAX5096/MAX5097. Use large PGND and LX planes
as heatsinks for the rectifier diode and the inductor.
