Dual, 2.2MHz, Automotive Buck or Boost
Converter with 80V Load-Dump Protection
The MAX5098A is a dual-output, high-switching-frequency DC-DC converter with integrated n-channel switches
that can be used either in high-side or low-side configuration. Each output can be configured either as a buck converter or a boost converter. In the buck configuration, this
device delivers up to 2A from converter 1 and 1A from
converter 2. The MAX5098A also integrates a load-dump
protection circuitry that is capable of handling load-dump
transients up to 80V for automotive applications. The
load-dump protection circuit utilizes an internal chargepump to drive the gate of an external n-channel MOSFET.
When an overvoltage or load-dump condition occurs, the
series protection MOSFET absorbs the high voltage transient to prevent damage to lower voltage components.
The DC-DC converters operate over a wide operating
voltage range from 4.5V to 19V. The MAX5098A operates 180° out-of-phase with an adjustable switching frequency to minimize external components while allowing
the ability to make trade-offs between the size, efficiency,
and cost. The high switching frequency (up to 2.2MHz)
also allows this device to operate outside the AM band
for automotive applications.
This device utilizes voltage-mode control for stable operation and external compensation, thus the loop gain is
tailored to optimize component selection and transient
response. This device can be synchronized to an external clock fed at the SYNC input. Also, a clock output
(CKO) allows a master-slave connection of two devices
with a four-phase synchronized switching sequence.
Additional features include internal digital soft-start, individual enable for each DC-DC regulator (EN1 and EN2),
open-drain power-good outputs (PGOOD1 and
PGOOD2), and a shutdown input (ON/OFF).
Other features of the MAX5098A include overvoltage protection, short-circuit (hiccup current limit) and thermal
protection. The MAX5098A is available in a thermally
enhanced, exposed pad, 5mm x 5mm, 32-pin TQFN
package and is fully specified over the automotive
-40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Functional Diagram

Dual, 2.2MHz, Automotive Buck or Boost
Converter with 80V Load-Dump Protection
Detailed Description
PWM Controller
The MAX5098A dual DC-DC converter uses a pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) voltage-mode control scheme.
On each converter the device includes one integrated
n-channel MOSFET switch and requires an external
low-forward-drop Schottky diode for output rectification. The controller generates the clock signal by dividing down the internal oscillator (fCKO) or the SYNC
input when driven by an external clock, therefore each
controller’s switching frequency equals half the oscillator frequency (fSW = fCKO/2) or half of the SYNC input
frequency (fSW = fSYNC/2). An internal transconductance error amplifier produces an integrated error voltage at COMP_, providing high DC accuracy. The
voltage at COMP_ sets the duty cycle using a PWM
comparator and a ramp generator. At each rising edge
of the clock, converter 1’s MOSFET switch turns on and
remains on until either the appropriate or maximum
duty cycle is reached, or the maximum current limit for
the switch is reached. Converter 2 operates 180° outof-phase, so its MOSFET switch turns on at each falling
edge of the clock.
In the case of buck operation (see the Typical
Application Circuit), the internal MOSFET is used in
high-side configuration. During each MOSFET’s ontime, the associated inductor current ramps up. During
the second half of the switching cycle, the high-side
MOSFET turns off and forward biases the Schottky rectifier. During this time, the SOURCE_ voltage is
clamped to a diode drop (VD) below ground. A low forward voltage drop (0.4V) Schottky diode must be used
to ensure the SOURCE_ voltage does not go below
-0.6V abs max. The inductor releases the stored energy
as its current ramps down, and provides current to the
output. The bootstrap capacitor is also recharged when
the SOURCE_ voltage goes low during the high-side
MOSFET off-time. The maximum duty-cycle limit
ensures proper bootstrap charging at startup or low
input voltages. The circuit goes in discontinuous conduction mode operation at light load, when the inductor
current completely discharges before the next cycle
commences. Under overload conditions, when the
inductor current exceeds the peak current limit of the
respective switch, the high-side MOSFET turns off
quickly and waits until the next clock cycle.
In the case of boost operation, the MOSFET is a lowside switch (Figure 6). During each on-time, the inductor current ramps up. During the second half of the
switching cycle, the low-side switch turns off and for-
14
ward biases the Schottky diode. During this time, the
DRAIN_ voltage is clamped to a diode drop (VD) above
VOUT_ and the inductor provides energy to the output
as well as replenishes the output capacitor charge.
Load-Dump Protection
Most automotive applications are powered by a multicell, 12V lead-acid battery with a voltage from 9V to
16V (depending on load current, charging status, temperature, battery age, etc.). The battery voltage is distributed throughout the automobile and is locally
regulated down to voltages required by the different
system modules. Load dump occurs when the alternator is charging the battery and the battery becomes
disconnected. Power in the alternator inductance flows
into the distributed power system and elevates the voltage seen at each module. The voltage spikes have rise
times typically greater than 5ms and decays within several hundred milliseconds but can extend out to 1s or
more depending on the characteristics of the charging
system. These transients are capable of destroying
sensitive electronic equipment on the first fault event.
During load dump, the MAX5098A provides the ability
to clamp the input-voltage rail of the internal DC-DC
converters to a safe level, while preventing power discontinuity at the DC-DC converters’ outputs.
The load-dump protection circuit utilizes an internal
charge pump to drive the gate of an external n-channel
MOSFET. This series protection MOSFET absorbs the
load-dump overvoltage transient and operates in saturation over the normal battery range to minimize power
dissipation. During load dump, the gate voltage of the
protection MOSFET is regulated to prevent the source
terminal from exceeding 19V.
The DC-DC converters are powered from the source
terminal of the load-dump protection MOSFET, so that
their input voltage is limited during load-dump and can
operate normally.
ON/OFF
The MAX5098A provides an input (ON/OFF) to turn on
and off the external load-dump protection MOSFET.
Drive ON/OFF high for normal operation. Drive ON/OFF
low to turn off the external n-channel load-dump protection MOSFET and reduce the supply current to 7µA (typ).
When ON/OFF is driven low, the converter also turns off,
and the PGOOD_ outputs are driven low. V+ will be self
discharged through the converters output currents and
the IC supply current.

Converter with 80V Load-Dump Protection
Synchronization (SYNC)/
Clock Output (CKO)
The main oscillator can be synchronized to the system
clock by applying an external clock (fSYNC) at SYNC.
The fSYNC frequency must be twice the required operating frequency of an individual converter. Use a TTL
logic signal for the external clock with at least 100ns
pulse width. ROSC is still required when using external
synchronization. Program the internal oscillator frequency to have fSW = 1/2 fSYNC. The device is properly
synchronized if the SYNC frequency, f SYNC , varies
within ±20%.
Two MAX5098As can be connected in the master-slave
configuration for four ripple-phase operation (Figure 1).
The MAX5098A provides a clock output (CKO) that is
45° phase-shifted with respect to the internal switch
turn-on edge. Feed the CKO of the master to the SYNC
input of the slave. The effective input ripple switching
frequency is four times the individual converter’s switching frequency. When driving the master converter using
an external clock at SYNC, set the fSYNC clock duty
cycle to 50% for effective 90° phase-shifted interleaved
operation. When a SYNC is applied (and FSEL_1 = 0),
converter 1 duty cycle is limited to 75% (max).
Input Voltage (V+)/
Internal Linear Regulator (VL)
All internal control circuitry operates from an internally
regulated nominal voltage of 5.2V (VL). At higher input
voltages (V+) of 5.2V to 19V, VL is regulated to 5.2V. At
5.2V or below, the internal linear regulator operates in
dropout mode, where VL follows V+. Depending on the
load on VL, the dropout voltage can be high enough to
reduce V L below the undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
threshold. Do not use VL to power external circuitry.
For input voltages less than 5.5V, connect V+ and VL
together. The load on VL is proportional to the switching
frequency of converter 1 and converter 2. See the VL
Output Voltage vs. Converter Switching Frequency
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics . For
input voltage ranges higher than 5.5V, disconnect VL
from V+.
Bypass V+ to SGND with a 1µF or greater ceramic
capacitor placed close to the MAX5098A. Bypass VL
with a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor to SGND.
Undervoltage Lockout/
Soft-Start/Soft-Stop
The MAX5098A includes an undervoltage lockout with
hysteresis and a power-on-reset circuit for converter
turn-on and monotonic rise of the output voltage. The
falling UVLO threshold is internally set to 4.1V (typ) with
180mV hysteresis. Hysteresis at UVLO eliminates “chattering” during startup. When VL drops below UVLO, the
internal MOSFET switches are turned off.
The MAX5098A digital soft-start reduces input inrush
currents and glitches at the input during turn-on. When
UVLO is cleared and EN_ is high, digital soft-start slowly ramps up the internal reference voltage in 64 steps.
The total soft-start period is 4096 internal oscillator
switching cycles.
Driving EN_ low initiates digital soft-stop that slowly
ramps down the internal reference voltage in 64 steps.
The total soft-stop period is equal to the soft-start period.
To calculate the soft-start/soft-stop period, use the following equation:
t SS (ms) =
4096
fCKO (kHz)
where fCKO is the internal oscillator and fCKO is twice
each converters’ switching frequency (FSEL_1 = VL)
Enable (EN1, EN2)
The MAX5098A dual converter provides separate
enable inputs, EN1 and EN2, to individually control or
sequence the output voltages. These active-high enable
inputs are TTL compatible. Driving EN_ high initiates
soft-start of the converter, and PGOOD_ goes logic-high
when the converter output voltage reaches the
VTPGOOD_ threshold. Driving EN_ low initiates a softstop of the converter, and immediately forces PGOOD_
low. Use EN1, EN2, and PGOOD1 for sequencing (see
Figure 2). Connect PGOOD1 to EN2 to make sure converter 1’s output is within regulation before converter 2
starts. Add an RC network from VL to EN1 and EN2 to
delay the individual converter. Sequencing reduces
input inrush current and possible chattering. Connect
EN_ to VL for always-on operation.

MAX5098A
Internal Oscillator/Out-of-Phase Operation
The internal oscillator generates the 180° out-of-phase
clock signal required by each regulator. The switching
frequency of each converter (fSW) is programmable
from 200kHz to 2.2MHz using a single 1% resistor at
ROSC. See the Setting the Switching Frequency section.
With dual synchronized out-of-phase operation, the
MAX5098A’s internal MOSFETs turn on 180° out-ofphase. The instantaneous input current peaks of both
regulators do not overlap, resulting in reduced RMS ripple current and input-voltage ripple. This reduces the
required input capacitor ripple current rating, allows for
fewer or less expensive capacitors, and reduces
shielding requirements for EMI.

PGOOD_
Output Overvoltage Protection
Converter 1 and converter 2 include a power-good flag,
PGOOD1 and PGOOD2, respectively. Since PGOOD_
is an open-drain output and can sink 3mA while providing the TTL logic-low signal, pull PGOOD_ to a logic
voltage to provide a logic-level output. PGOOD1 goes
low when converter 1’s feedback FB1 drops to 92.5%
(VTPGOOD_) of its nominal set point. The same is true for
converter 2. Connect PGOOD_ to SGND or leave
unconnected if not used.
The MAX5098A outputs are protected from output voltage overshoots due to input transients and shorting the
output to a high voltage. When the output voltage rises
above the overvoltage threshold, 110% (typ) nominal
FB_, the overvoltage condition is triggered. When the
overvoltage condition is triggered on either channel,
both converters are immediately turned off, 20Ω pulldown switches from SOURCE_ to PGND_ are turned on
to help the output-voltage discharge, and the gate of
the load-dump protection external MOSFET is pulled
low. The device restarts as soon as both converter outputs discharge, bringing both FB_ input voltages below
12.5V of their nominal set points.
Current Limit
The internal MOSFET switch current of each converter is
monitored during its on-time. When the peak switch current crosses the current-limit threshold of 3.45A (typ) and
2.1A (typ) for converter 1 and converter 2, respectively,
the on-cycle is terminated immediately and the inductor
is allowed to discharge. The MOSFET is turned on at the
next clock pulse, initiating a new switching cycle.
In deep overload or short-circuit conditions when the
VFB_ voltage drops below 0.2V, the switching frequency is reduced to 1/4 x fSW to provide sufficient time for
the inductor to discharge. During overload conditions, if
the voltage across the inductor is not high enough to
allow for the inductor current to properly discharge,
current runaway may occur. Current runaway can
destroy the device in spite of internal thermal-overload
protection. Reducing the switching frequency during
overload conditions allows more time for inductor discharge and prevents current runaway.
Thermal-Overload Protection
During continuous short circuit or overload at the output, the power dissipation in the IC can exceed its limit.
The MAX5098A provides thermal shutdown protection
with temperature hysteresis. Internal thermal shutdown
is provided to avoid irreversible damage to the device.
When the die temperature exceeds +165°C (typ), an
on-chip thermal sensor shuts down the device, forcing
the internal switches to turn off, allowing the IC to cool.
The thermal sensor turns the part on again with softstart after the junction temperature cools by +20°C.
During thermal shutdown, both regulators shut down,
PGOOD_ goes low, and soft-start resets. The internal
20V zener clamp from IN_HIGH to SGND is not turned
off during thermal shutdown because clamping action
must be always active.

Applications Information
Setting the Switching Frequency
The controller generates the clock signal by dividing
down the internal oscillator fOSC or the SYNC input signal when driven by an external oscillator. The switching
frequency equals half the internal oscillator frequency
(fSW = fOSC/2). The internal oscillator frequency is set
by a resistor (ROSC) connected from OSC to SGND. To
find ROSC for each converter switching frequency fSW,
use the formulas:
ROSC (kΩ) =
ROSC (kΩ) =
10.721
fSW (MHz)
12.184
fSW (MHz)
(
)
(
)
f
≥ 1.25MHz
0.920 SW
f
< 1.25MHz
0.973 SW
A rising clock edge on SYNC is interpreted as a synchronization input. If the SYNC signal is lost, the internal oscillator takes control of the switching rate,
returning the switching frequency to that set by ROSC.
When an external synchronization signal is used, ROSC
must be selected such that fSW = 1/2 fSYNC. When
fSYNC clock signal is applied, fCKO equals fSYNC waveform, phase shifted by 180°. If the MAX5098A is running without external synchronization, fCKO equals the
internal oscillator frequency fOSC.
Buck Converter
Effective Input Voltage Range
Although the MAX5098A converter can operate from
input supplies ranging from 5.2V to 19V, the input voltage range can be effectively limited by the MAX5098A
duty-cycle limitations for a given output voltage. The
maximum input voltage is limited by the minimum ontime (tON(MIN)):
VIN(MAX) ≤
VOUT
t ON(MIN) × fSW
where tON(MIN) is 100ns. The minimum input voltage is
limited by the maximum duty cycle (DMAX = 0.82):
⎡V
+ VDROP1 ⎤
VIN(MIN) = ⎢ OUT
⎥ + VDROP2 − VDROP1
DMAX
⎣
⎦
where VDROP1 is the total parasitic voltage drops in the
inductor discharge path, which includes the forward
voltage drop (VD) of the rectifier, the series resistance
18
of the inductor, and the PCB resistance. VDROP2 is the
total resistance in the charging path that includes the
on-resistance of the high-side switch, the series resistance of the inductor, and the PCB resistance.
Setting the Output Voltage
For 0.8V or greater output voltages, connect a voltagedivider from OUT_ to FB_ to SGND (Figure 3). Select RB
(FB_ to SGND resistor) to between 1kΩ and 20kΩ.
Calculate RA (OUT_ to FB_ resistor) with the following
equation:
⎡⎛ VOUT _ ⎞ ⎤
RA = RB ⎢⎜
⎟ − 1⎥
⎢⎣⎝ VFB _ ⎠ ⎥⎦
where VFB_ = 0.8V (see the Electrical Characteristics
table) and VOUT_ can range from VFB_ to 28V (boost
operation).
For output voltages below 0.8V, set the MAX5098A output voltage by connecting a voltage-divider from OUT_
to FB_ to BYPASS (Figure 3). Select RC (FB_ to BYPASS
resistor) in the 50kΩ range. Calculate RA with the following equation:
⎡ VFB _ − VOUT _ ⎤
RA = RC ⎢
⎥
⎢⎣ VBYPASS − VFB _ ⎥⎦
where VFB_ = 0.8V, VBYPASS = 2V (see the Electrical

L=
VOUT (VIN − VOUT )
VIN × fSW × ΔIL
where VIN and VOUT are typical values (so that efficiency is optimum for typical conditions). The switching frequency is set by ROSC (see the Setting the Switching
Frequency section). The peak-to-peak inductor current,
which reflects the peak-to-peak output ripple, is worse
at the maximum input voltage. See the Output
Capacitor section to verify that the worst-case output
ripple is acceptable. The inductor saturation current is
also important to avoid runaway current during output
overload and continuous short circuit. Select the ISAT to
be higher than the maximum peak current limits of 4.3A
and 2.6A for converter 1 and converter 2.
Input Capacitor
The discontinuous input current waveform of the buck
converter causes large ripple currents at the input. The
switching frequency, peak inductor current, and the
allowable peak-to-peak voltage ripple dictate the input
capacitance requirement. Note that the two converters
of the MAX5098A run 180° out-of-phase, thereby effectively doubling the switching frequency at the input.
The input ripple waveform would be unsymmetrical due
to the difference in load current and duty cycle
between converter 1 and converter 2. The worst-case
mismatch is when one converter is at full load while the
other converter is at no load or in shutdown. The input
ripple is comprised of ΔVQ (caused by the capacitor
discharge) and ΔV ESR (caused by the ESR of the
capacitor). Use ceramic capacitors with high ripplecurrent capability at the input, connected between
DRAIN_ and PGND_. Assume the contribution from the
ESR and capacitor discharge equal to 50%. Calculate
the input capacitance and ESR required for a specified
ripple using the following equations:
ESRIN =
ΔVESR

MAX5098A
Inductor Selection
Three key inductor parameters must be specified for
operation with the MAX5098A: inductance value (L),
peak inductor current (IL), 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 (ΔIL).
A good compromise is to choose ΔIL equal to 30% of
the full load current. To calculate the inductance, use
the following equation:
where
ΔIL =
(VIN − VOUT ) × VOUT
VIN × fSW × L
and
CIN =
IOUT × D(1 − D)
ΔVQ × fSW
where
V
D = OUT
VIN
where IOUT is the maximum output current from either
converter 1 or converter 2, and D is the duty cycle for
that converter. The frequency of each individual converter is fSW. For example, at VIN = 12V, VOUT = 3.3V at
I OUT = 2A, and with L = 3.3µH, the ESR and input
capacitance are calculated for a peak-to-peak input ripple of 100mV or less, yielding an ESR and capacitance
value of 20mΩ and 6.8µF for 1.25MHz frequency. At low
input voltages, also add one electrolytic bulk capacitor
of at least 100µF on the converters’ input voltage rail.
This capacitor acts as an energy reservoir to avoid possible undershoot below the undervoltage lockout threshold during power-on and transient loading.
Output Capacitor
The allowable output ripple voltage and the maximum
deviation of the output voltage during step load currents determines the output capacitance and its ESR.
The output ripple is comprised of ΔVQ (caused by the
capacitor discharge) and ΔVESR (caused by the ESR of
the capacitor). Use low-ESR ceramic or aluminum electrolytic capacitors at the output. For aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the entire output ripple is
contributed by ΔVESR. Use the ESROUT equation to calculate the ESR requirement and choose the capacitor
accordingly. If using ceramic capacitors, assume the
contribution to the output ripple voltage from the ESR
and the capacitor discharge are equal. Calculate the
output capacitance and ESR required for a specified
ripple using the following equations:
ΔVESR

where
where
ΔVO _ RIPPLE ≅ ΔVESR + ΔVQ
ΔIL is the peak-to-peak inductor current as calculated
above and fSW is the individual converter’s switching
frequency.
The allowable deviation of the output voltage during
fast transient loads also determines the output capacitance and its ESR. The output capacitor supplies the
step load current until the controller responds with a
greater duty cycle. The response time (t RESPONSE)
depends on the closed-loop bandwidth of the converter. The high switching frequency of the MAX5098A
allows for higher closed-loop bandwidth, reducing
tRESPONSE and the output capacitance requirement.
The resistive drop across the output capacitor ESR and
the capacitor discharge causes a voltage droop during
a step load. Use a combination of low-ESR tantalum or
polymer and ceramic capacitors for better transient
load and ripple/noise performance. Keep the maximum
output voltage deviation within the tolerable limits of the
electronics being powered. When using a ceramic
capacitor, assume 80% and 20% contribution from the
output capacitance discharge and the ESR drop,
respectively. Use the following equations to calculate
the required ESR and capacitance value:
ΔVESR
ESROUT =
ISTEP
ISTEP × tRESPONSE
COUT =
ΔVQ
where I STEP is the load step and t RESPONSE is the
response time of the controller. Controller response
time depends on the control-loop bandwidth.
Boost Converter
The MAX5098A can be configured for step-up conversion since the internal MOSFET can be used as a lowside switch. Use the following equations to calculate
the values for the inductor (LMIN), input capacitor (CIN),
and output capacitor (COUT) when using the converter
in boost operation.
Inductor
Choose the minimum inductor value so the converter
remains in continuous mode operation at minimum output current (IOMIN).
LMIN =

VIN2 × D
2 × fSW × VO × IOMIN
V + VD − VIN
D= O
VO + VD − VDS
The V D is the forward voltage drop of the external
Schottky diode, D is the duty cycle, and VDS is the voltage drop across the internal MOSFET switch. Select
the inductor with low DC resistance and with a saturation current (ISAT) rating higher than the peak switch
current limit of 4.3A (ICL1) and 2.6A (ICL2) of converter
1 and converter 2, respectively.
Input Capacitor
The input current for the boost converter is continuous
and the RMS ripple current at the input is low. Calculate
the capacitor value and ESR of the input capacitor
using the following equations.
CIN =
ΔIL
8 × fSW × ΔVQ
ESR =
ΔVESR
ΔIL
where
ΔIL =
(VIN − VDS ) × D

where V DS is the voltage drop across the internal
MOSFET switch. ΔIL is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple
current as calculated above. ΔVQ is the portion of input
ripple due to the capacitor discharge and ΔVESR is the
contribution due to ESR of the capacitor.
Output Capacitor
For the boost converter, the output capacitor supplies
the load current when the main switch is ON. The
required output capacitance is high, especially at higher duty cycles. Also, the output capacitor ESR needs to
be low enough to minimize the voltage drop due to the
ESR while supporting the load current. Use the following equation to calculate the output capacitor for a
specified output ripple tolerance.

where VDS is the drop across the internal MOSFET and
η is the efficiency. See the Electrical Characteristics
table for the RON(MAX) value.
Power Dissipation
The MAX5098A includes two internal power MOSFET
switches. The DC loss is a function of the RMS current in
the switch while the switching loss is a function of switching frequency and instantaneous switch voltage and current. Use the following equations to calculate the RMS
current, DC loss, and switching loss of each converter.
The MAX5098A is available in a thermally enhanced
package and can dissipate up to 2.7W at +70°C ambient
temperature. The total power dissipation in the package
must be limited so that the operating junction temperature does not exceed its absolute maximum rating of
+150°C at maximum ambient temperature.

The supply current in the MAX5098A is dependent on
the switching frequency. See the Typical Operating
Characteristics to find the supply current of the
MAX5098A at a given operating frequency. The power
dissipation (PS) in the device due to supply current
(ISUPPLY) is calculated using following equation.
PS = VINMAX x ISUPPLY
The total power dissipation PT in the device is:
PT = PDC1 + PDC2 + PSW1 + PSW2 + PS
where PDC1 and PDC2 are DC losses in converter 1 and
converter 2, respectively. PSW1 and PSW2 are switching
losses in converter 1 and converter 2, respectively.
Calculate the temperature rise of the die using the following equation:
TJ = TC x (PT x θJC)
where θJC is the junction-to-case thermal impedance of
the package equal to +1.7°C/W. Solder the exposed
pad of the package to a large copper area to minimize
the case-to-ambient thermal impedance. Measure the
temperature of the copper area near the device at a
worst-case condition of power dissipation and use
+1.7°C/W as θJC thermal impedance.
Compensation
The MAX5098A provides an internal transconductance
amplifier with its inverting input and its output available
for external frequency compensation. The flexibility of
external compensation for each converter offers wide
selection of output filtering components, especially the
output capacitor. For cost-sensitive applications, use
aluminum electrolytic capacitors; for component sizesensitive applications, use low-ESR tantalum, polymer,
or ceramic capacitors at the output. The high switching
frequency of MAX5098A allows use of ceramic capacitors at the output.
Choose all the passive power components that meet
the output ripple, component size, and component cost
requirements. Choose the small-signal components for
the error amplifier to achieve the desired closed-loop

Select the external MOSFET with an adequate voltage
rating, VDSS, to withstand the maximum expected loaddump input voltage. The on-resistance of the MOSFET,
RDS(ON), should be low enough to maintain a minimal
voltage drop at full load, limiting the power dissipation
of the MOSFET.
During regular operation, the power dissipated by the
MOSFET is:
PNORMAL = ILOAD2 x RDS(ON)
where ILOAD is equal to the sum of both converters’
input currents.
The MOSFET operates in a saturation region during
load dump, with both high voltage and current applied.
Choose a suitable power MOSFET that can safely operate in the saturation region. Verify its capability to support the downstream DC-DC converters input current
during the load-dump event by checking its safe operating area (SOA) characteristics. Since the transient
peak power dissipation on the MOSFET can be very
high during the load-dump event, also refer to the thermal impedance graph given in the data sheet of the
power MOSFET to make sure its transient power dissipation is kept within the recommended limits.

In applications where the MAX5098A is subject to noisy
environments, adjust the controller’s compensation to
improve the system’s noise immunity. In particular, highfrequency noise coupled into the feedback loop causes
jittery duty cycles. One solution is to lower the crossover
frequency (see the Compensation section).

Layout Procedure
1) Place the power components first, with ground terminals adjacent (inductor, CIN_, and COUT_). Make
all these connections on the top layer with wide,
copper-filled areas (2oz copper recommended).
2) Group the gate-drive components (bootstrap
diodes and capacitors, and VL bypass capacitor)
together near the controller IC.
1) For SGND, use a large copper plane under the IC
and solder it to the exposed paddle. To effectively
use this copper area as a heat exchanger between
the PCB and ambient, expose this copper area on
the top and bottom side of the PCB. Do not make a
direct connection from the exposed pad copper
plane to SGND underneath the IC.
2) Isolate the power components and high-current
path from the sensitive analog circuitry.
3) Make the DC-DC controller ground connections as
follows:
a) Create a small, signal ground plane underneath
the IC.
b) Connect this plane to SGND and use this plane
for the ground connection for the reference
(BYPASS), enable, compensation components,
feedback dividers, and OSC resistor.
c) Connect SGND and PGND_ together (this is the
only connection between SGND and PGND_).
Refer to the MAX5099 Evaluation Kit data sheet
for more information.
3) Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the
ground terminals. This practice is essential for stable, jitter-free operation.
4) Connect SGND and PGND_ together at a single
point. Do not connect them together anywhere else
(refer to the MAX5099 Evaluation Kit data sheet for
more information).
5) Keep the power traces and load connections short.
This practice is essential for high efficiency. Use
thick copper PCBs (2oz vs. 1oz) to enhance fullload efficiency.
6) Ensure that the feedback connection to COUT is
short and direct.
7) Route high-speed switching nodes (BST_/VDD_,
SOURCE_) away from the sensitive analog areas
(BYPASS, COMP_, and FB_). Use the internal PCB
layer for SGND as an EMI shield to keep radiated
noise away from the IC, feedback dividers, and
analog bypass capacitors.

Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switching

true for dual converters where one channel can affect
