MAX16926GTPI/V+T

Overview

The MAX16926GTPI/V+T is an automotive-grade, four-output display power solution designed for complex infotainment systems. It integrates two high-current buck converters and two low-dropout (LDO) regulators within a single package. The device operates from a 3.5V to 40V input supply with -40°C to +105°C junction temperature range. Key electrical specifications include a 4.5mA supply current and a 20-WFQFN exposed pad package. This integrated approach reduces board space and simplifies the design of multi-rail power architectures required for modern automotive displays.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual high-current buck converters and dual LDOs in a single compact package
• Automotive-grade reliability with extended temperature operation capabilities
• High input voltage tolerance suitable for direct battery connection
• Optimized for space-constrained display power applications

Applications

• Automotive infotainment system power distribution
• Multi-rail display driver power supplies
• In-vehicle information system (IVIS) power management
• Digital cockpit display modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' in GTPI against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm pinout or thermal characteristics. Ensure the component meets AEC-Q100 standards if required by your specific automotive tier application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with your existing design files. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's official declaration rather than distributor summaries.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing automotive display systems requiring multiple regulated rails from a single high-voltage source. It is appropriate for applications needing simultaneous high-current buck regulation and precise LDO outputs. Consider this part for designs prioritizing board area reduction over discrete component solutions. Evaluate thermal performance requirements based on the exposed pad package and ambient operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to Maxim Integrated's specialized automotive PMIC family, now under Analog Devices. These devices target the growing demand for integrated power solutions in connected cars. The MAX16926 specifically addresses the complexity of powering LCD/OLED displays with varying voltage and current requirements. It consolidates functions that would otherwise require multiple separate regulators.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Analog Devices official substitution guides for verified alternatives. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other MAX169xx variants without verifying pinouts and electrical parameters. Check for updated revisions that may offer improved thermal performance or enhanced feature sets.
