MAX20019/MAX20020
3.2MHz, 500mA Dual Step-Down Converters
for Automotive Cameras
General Description
MAX20019/MAX20020 are 2.2MHz and 3.2MHz dual
step-down converters with integrated high-side and lowside MOSFETs. The high-voltage step-down converter
is designed for continuous operation up to 17V input
voltages. The output voltage is factory preset. Buck 1 is
preset to 3.3V, 3.0V, or 2.8V. Buck 2 is preset to 1.8V,
1.5V, 1.2V, or 1V. Another option is Buck 1 preset to 5V
and Buck 2 preset to 3.3V.
The low-voltage buck features fixed-frequency PWMmode operation with a switching frequency of 2.2MHz
or 3.2MHz. High-frequency operation allows for an
all-ceramic capacitor design and small-size external
components. The low-resistance on-chip switches ensure
high efficiency while minimizing critical inductance. A
500mV enable hysteresis on the MAX20019 allows the
use of long, low-cost coax cables, even during slow startup situations. The MAX20020’s Buck 1 starts after VSUP
is greater than 5.5V and Buck 1 is driven by the EN input.
Protection features include overvoltage (OV) protection,
cycle-by-cycle current limit, and thermal shutdown with
automatic recovery. The buck converters operate 180°
out-of-phase from each other to minimize input-current
ripple.

3.2MHz, 500mA Dual Step-Down Converters
for Automotive Cameras
Detailed Description
The MAX20019/MAX20020 are small, dual synchronous
step-down converters with integrated high-side and lowside MOSFETs. The low-side MOSFET enables fixedfrequency forced-PWM (FPWM) operation. The highvoltage step-down converters operate up to 17V input
voltages. The switching frequency is set to 3.2MHZ or
factory programmable to 2.2MHz allowing for small component size. The devices’ output voltage is factory preset
with Buck 1 set to 3.3V, 3.0V, or 2.8V, and Buck 2 preset
to 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, or 1V. Buck 1 can be set to 5V with
Buck 2 set to 3.3V. The Buck 1 converter can run at 96%
duty cycle in dropout and the Buck 2 converter can run at
100% duty cycle in dropout.
The MAX20019 EN pin uses a 500mV hysteresis to
accommodate for long and high-impedance cables. The
MAX20020 Buck 1 starts when VSUP > 5.5V (rising), and
EN enables Buck 2. Protection features include cycleby-cycle current limit, Buck 2 overvoltage monitoring and
pulldown, and thermal shutdown with automatic recovery.
Spread spectrum improves EMI performance.
DC-DC Converter Control Architecture
The step-down converter uses a PWM peak currentmode-control scheme, with a load-line architecture.
Peak current-mode control provides several advantages
over voltage-mode control, including precise control of
the inductor current on a cycle-by-cycle basis, simpler
compensation.
The output voltage is positioned slightly positive at no
load (still within the tolerance window), to take advantage
of the fact that any load disturbance is a load step only.
This increases the amount of margin available to the
undershoot that occurs on a load step, allowing a
reduction in the required output capacitance. As the
load increases, a small but controlled amount of load
regulation (“load-line”) error occurs, so that at heavier
loads the voltage is positioned slightly below nominal.
This takes advantage of the fact that any load disturbance
is load released, increasing the amount of margin available to the overshoot that occurs.
www.maximintegrated.com
Maximum Duty-Cycle Operation
The Buck 1 converter has a maximum duty cycle of
96% (typ). The IC monitors the off-time (time for which
the low-side FET is on) in PWM every switching cycle.
Once the minimum off-time is reached, the low-side FET
is forced on for 150ns (typ) every 8µs (3.2MHz) and 12µs
(2.2MHz). The input voltage at which the devices enter
dropout changes depending on the input voltage, output
voltage, switching frequency, load current, and the efficiency of the design.
The Input voltage at which the devices enter dropout can
be approximated as:
VSUP = (VOUT1 + (IOUT1 x RON_HS))/0.96
Note: The equation above does not take into account the
efficiency and switching frequency, but is a god first-order
approximation. Use the RON_HS number from the Max
column in the Electrical Characteristics table.
The Buck 2 converter can operate at 100% duty cycle
since the high-side MOSFET is a p-channel.
Linear Regulator Output (BIAS)
The devices include a 5V linear regulator (VBIAS) that
provides power to the internal circuit blocks. Connect a
2.2μF ceramic capacitor from BIAS to AGND.
System Enable (EN)
The MAX20019 uses an enable control input (EN) to activate the devices from their low-power shutdown mode.
EN is high-voltage compatible and can be connected
to SUP. The MAX20020 EN only controls the Buck 2
converter and requires VSUP > 5.5V and VOUT1 to have
reached regulation before powering up Buck 2 (see the
Startup and Soft-Start section).
A logic-low at the MAX20019 EN shuts down the device.
During shutdown, the internal linear regulator and gate
drivers turn off. Shutdown is the lowest power state.
Driving the MAX20020 EN pin low while VSUP > 5V only
shuts down the OUT2 converter.
Startup and Soft-Start
The ICs feature an internal soft-start timer and delay
timer. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show startup timing, delay
timing between Buck 1, Buck 2, and EN effect on timing.

Applications Information
Current Limit/ Short-Circuit Condition
The devices have fault protection designed to protect
them against abnormal conditions. If either output is
shorted, then that respective converter implements a
cycle-by-cycle current limit. If VOUT1 is below 90% of the
factory-preset voltage, VOUT2 is disabled. Buck 2 only
reenters soft-start if VOUT1 recovers above 95%.
Output-Voltage Selection
Output voltages are set at the factory. Available options
are shown in Table 1.
Inductor Selection
Three key inductor parameters must be specified for
operation with the device: inductance value (L), inductor
saturation current (ISAT), and DC resistance (RDC). To
select inductance value, the ratio of inductor peak-to-peak
AC current to DC average current (LIR) must be selected
first. A good compromise between size and loss is a 30%
peak-to-peak ripple current to average current ratio (LIR
= 0.3). The switching frequency, input voltage, output
voltage, and selected LIR then determine the inductor
value as follows:
The device also has overtemperature protection. If the die
temperature exceeds approximately 175°C, the device
stops switching until the die temperature drops by approximately 15°C and then resumes operation, going through
soft-start once again.
OUT2 Overvoltage Protection
OUT2 is monitored for overvoltage and responds by
turning off the high-side and low-side MOSFETs and
enabling the 500Ω pulldown resistor on OUT2. The
overvoltage rising and falling thresholds are provided in
the Electrical Characteristics table.
L1 = ((VSUP - VOUT1) x VOUT1)/(VSUP x
fSW x (IOUT1+IPV2) x LIR)
Internal Oscillator
and:
The switching frequency (fSW) is set at the factory to
2.2MHz or 3.2MHz for both converters. The higher 3.2MHZ
frequency allows designs with lower inductor values and
less output capacitance. Consequently, peak currents and
I2R losses are lower at higher switching frequencies, but
core losses, gate-charge currents, and switching losses
increase. If typical input voltage is expected over 10V, then
values of VIN, VOUT, IOUT, and DCR losses may require
the 2.2MHz switching frequency due to minimum on-time
constraints.
L2 = ((VPV2 - VOUT2) x VOUT2)/(VPV2 x
fSW x IOUT2 x LIR)
where VSUP, VOUT1, VOUT2, IOUT1, and IOUT2 are
typical values (so efficiency is optimum for typical
conditions). The switching frequency is set by factory
programming (see the Internal Oscillator section). Table 1
lists some of the inductor values for 300mA output current
and several output voltages.

Input Capacitor
The recommended system input capacitor is 10µF with an
X5R rating or better. The input filter capacitor reduces peak
currents drawn from the power source and reduces noise
and voltage ripple on the input caused by the circuit’s
switching.
Output Capacitor
The minimum output capacitance should be 22µF
ceramic with an X7S or X7R rating. The value and quality
of this capacitor is critical, as it sets the dominant pole of
the loop.
PCB Layout Guidelines
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switching
losses and clean, stable operation. Use a multilayer board
whenever possible for better noise immunity and power
dissipation. Follow these guidelines for good PCB layout:
The power and the Buck 1 feedback signal use the
same input pin, PV2. It is critical that this trace is short
as possible from the output of Buck 1 to the input PV2.
The width should be sufficient enough to carry the
current for PV2 while not causing enough drop to cause
regulation error in Buck 1.
2) Use a large contiguous copper plane under the device
package. Ensure that all heat-dissipating components
have adequate cooling. The bottom pad of the device must be soldered down to this copper plane for
effective heat dissipation and getting the full power out
of the device. Use multiple vias or a single large via in
this plane for heat dissipation.
3) Isolate the power components and high-current path
from the sensitive analog circuitry. This is essential to
prevent any noise coupling into the analog signals.
4) Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the
ground terminals. This practice is essential for stable,
jitter-free operation. The high-current path comprising
input capacitor, high-side FET, inductor, and the output
capacitor, should be as short as possible.
5) The ground connection for the analog and power
section should be close to the IC. This keeps the
ground current loops to a minimum. In cases where
only one ground is used, adequate isolation between
analog return signals and high-power signals must be
maintained.
6) Place the BIAS capacitor next to the BIAS pin and
connect to AGND with a short and wide trace.
1) Place a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor next to SUP and
the IC.
