MAX20049CATEA/VY+

Overview

The MAX20049CATEA/VY+ is an ultracompact power management IC designed for vehicle camera modules. It integrates four power supplies into a tiny footprint, offering approximately 30 percent more compactness than competitive solutions. The device features dual buck converters and low-noise LDOs supporting a wide input voltage range from 4V to 17V, enabling Power-over-Coax (POC) typically from 8V to 10V. It provides the highest efficiency of 74 percent at full load among quad-power PMICs in its class. Spread spectrum and a 2.2MHz switching frequency mitigate electromagnetic interference to meet CISPR low-noise specifications.
