The MAX8902AATA/V+T is a linear voltage regulator and belongs to the class of power management integrated circuits (PMICs). It is specifically designed for use in an automotive environment, offering high input voltage protection and low dropout operation for applications with an input voltage range of 4.5V to 42V and an output voltage range of 0.8V to 5V. The device can handle continuous output current of up to 1.5A and transients of up to 2.5A making it suitable for automotive applications where thermal considerations are important. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of the MAX8902AATA/V+T.

Application Fields

The MAX8902AATA/V+T was designed with automotive applications in mind, making it suitable for a range of devices and applications. It is able to handle a wide variety of inputs and voltages (4.5-42V), making it suitable for both battery and non-battery operated systems. Its high continuous and transient current (1.5A and 2.5A respectively) make it suitable for more advanced automotive systems such as infotainment, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and telematics. Its low dropout operation ensures that the load voltage is accurately regulated. In addition, it is able to handle inrush current up to 6A, making it suitable for higher performance applications. It also offers a range of additional features such as short-circuit and over-temperature protection, as well as current monitoring, enabling designers to take full advantage of the device’s capabilities.

Working Principle

The MAX8902AATA/V+T uses a linear regulator design to ensure that the output voltage remains within the desired range. Linear regulators employ a negative feedback loop to ensure the output voltage is held constant. In the MAX8902AATA/V+T, the feedback loop comprises two voltage divider resistors connected to an error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the output voltage (as sensed by the voltage divider) to a reference voltage and activates a proportional correction if necessary. This effectively regulates the output voltage as the output current changes.

The MAX8902AATA/V+T also uses N-channel MOSFET transistors to control the switching of the output voltage. The MOSFET transistors act as two electronic switches, providing a low-resistance path between the input and output when the output needs to be switched on, and an open circuit when the output needs to be switched off. This ensures that the output voltage stays within the desired limits and is not affected by changes in the input voltage or load current.

The MAX8902AATA/V+T also features an internal power switch and low quiescent current for improved efficiency and minimized heat dissipation. This allows for longer battery life in automotive applications and enables the device to remain in a low power state until activated.

In addition, the MAX8902AATA/V+T features reverse battery protection, short-circuit protection and over-temperature protection. This helps protect the system from unexpected events and ensures safe and reliable operation. The device also features a current monitoring output, allowing the designer to monitor the current flow through the regulator and take appropriate action if necessary.
