MAX16932ATIT/V+

DC DC Switching Controllers Overview

The MAX16932ATIT/V+ is a high-voltage dual buck switching controller designed for automotive applications. It operates with an input voltage range of 3.5V to 36V and features a fixed 2.2MHz switching frequency. The device integrates a preboost circuit to ensure stable operation during low-input conditions. It achieves ultra-low quiescent current of 20µA in standby mode, supporting efficient power management. The component is housed in a compact 24-pin TQFN package and is qualified to AEC-Q100 standards for automotive reliability.

DC DC Switching Controllers Feature Summary

• Integrates dual synchronous buck controllers with an internal preboost stage for enhanced low-voltage performance
• Features ultra-low 20µA quiescent current to minimize battery drain in standby modes
• Fixed 2.2MHz switching frequency enables the use of small external passive components
• Automotive-grade qualification ensures reliability under harsh environmental conditions

DC DC Switching Controllers Applications

• Automotive infotainment systems requiring multiple regulated voltage rails
• Instrument clusters and dashboard control modules
• Body control modules (BCM) and gateway applications
• High-efficiency DC-DC conversion in 12V automotive networks

DC DC Switching Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IT/V+ against the official datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and temperature grade. Confirm AEC-Q100 compliance requirements match your design specifications. Check for obsolescence status as Maxim Integrated products may have limited availability or end-of-life notices. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for automotive-grade components.

DC DC Switching Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for automotive environments requiring high input voltage tolerance up to 36V. The integrated preboost makes it suitable for applications where input voltage may drop below output levels during cranking. Compare quiescent current specifications against other controllers if battery life is critical. Ensure the thermal performance of the TQFN package meets the system's heat dissipation requirements.

DC DC Switching Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated MAX169xx family of high-voltage automotive power management ICs. These devices are engineered to replace discrete solutions in complex automotive architectures. The MAX16932 specifically targets applications needing two isolated buck outputs with minimal standby consumption. It complements other PMICs in the portfolio by offering dedicated controller functionality rather than integrated LDOs.

DC DC Switching Controllers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing board layouts before considering alternative controllers from the same manufacturer.
