Product details
Overview
MAX15009ATJ+T from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA LDO regulator with integrated switched output and overvoltage protection (OVP) controller, designed for automotive power management. It operates from 5V to 40V input, withstands 45V load-dump transients, delivers fixed 5V LDO output (±2% over -40°C to +125°C), features 67μA quiescent current, and supports remote load control via its 0.28Ω internal n-channel switch - used in multimedia power supplies requiring robust fault protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX15009ATJ+T datasheet, MAX15009ATJ+T pinout, MAX15009ATJ+T application, or MAX15009ATJ+T equivalent, key selection criteria include OVP configurability (switch vs. limiter mode), adjustable reset timeout via CT capacitor, programmable switch current limit (30–240mA), thermal shutdown at +160°C, and compatibility with external n-channel MOSFETs for high-voltage battery monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX15009ATJ+T integrates three functional blocks: a precision 5V LDO (1.235V internal reference, ±1.5% FB_LDO tolerance), a current-limited switched output with accurate ILIM sensing and OC_DELAY blanking timer, and an OVP controller that drives an external n-channel MOSFET using a charge-pump GATE driver (8.1V above VIN, 63mA pulldown). All blocks share a common 32-pin TQFN-EP package and operate across -40°C to +125°C.
OVP operation is configurable: in switch mode, FB_PROT monitors drain-side voltage to disconnect loads during overvoltage; in limiter mode, SOURCE feedback enables hysteretic regulation. The LDO includes independent EN_LDO/HOLD inputs and a μP reset output with user-adjustable timeout (via CT capacitor), while the switched output supports autoretry after overcurrent events using OC_DELAY timing.

Pinout & Package
MAX15009ATJ+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 32-pin TQFN-EP package (5mm × 5mm, exposed pad), optimized for automotive under-hood thermal environments. The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to SGND for both electrical grounding and thermal dissipation (θJA = 29.0°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 19,20) | Input Supply Rail | Accepts 5V–40V; bypassed with 10μF/ESR<1.5Ω capacitor to SGND; withstands 45V transients |
| OUT_LDO (Pins 21,22) | LDO Regulated Output | Delivers up to 300mA at 5V; requires ≥22μF ceramic output cap to SGND; supports adjustable output via FB_LDO |
| OUT_SW (Pins 27,28) | Switched Output | Current-limited path (30–240mA) driven by internal 0.28Ω n-MOSFET; bypass with ≥0.1μF ceramic cap |
| GATE (Pin 12) | OVP Gate Driver | Charge-pump output driving external n-MOSFET gate; 63mA pulldown ensures fast turn-off during overvoltage |
| SOURCE (Pin 13) | OVP Source Sense | Connects to external MOSFET source; enables limiter-mode feedback; critical for closed-loop voltage regulation |
| FB_PROT (Pin 10) | OVP Threshold Input | Resistive divider node setting overvoltage trip point; 1.235V reference with ±2.5% accuracy and 4% hysteresis |
| RESET (Pin 7) | Microprocessor Reset Output | Active-low open-drain signal asserting until VOUT_LDO exceeds 92.5% of nominal and CT timeout expires |
| CT (Pin 9) | Reset Timeout Adjust | Capacitor-connected node controlling reset assertion duration; linear relationship between CRESET and timeout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OVP Controller with Dual Mode | Configurable as load-disconnect switch (drain-sense) or closed-loop voltage limiter (source-sense) - eliminates need for separate OVP IC |
| Programmable Switch Current Limit | Set from 30mA to 240mA via resistor on ILIM pin - enables precise fault current tailoring for diverse load types |
| Adjustable Reset Timeout | Controlled by external capacitor on CT pin (0.1ms to >10ms range) - matches processor-specific reset timing requirements |
| Independent LDO Enable & Hold Logic | EN_LDO activates regulator; HOLD latches state during EN_LDO removal - supports controlled power sequencing in multi-rail systems |
| Integrated Load-Dump Protection | Withstands 45V transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in many automotive designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX15011ATJ+T | Omits OVP controller (no GATE, SOURCE, FB_PROT pins); identical LDO and switched output functionality | Used where overvoltage protection is handled externally or unnecessary; lower cost, same footprint | Select when OVP is redundant or implemented upstream; retains full LDO/reset/switch capability in same package |
| TPS40400RHLR | Step-down controller (not LDO); requires external FETs; no integrated OVP or reset; supports higher currents (3A) | Targets high-power DC/DC conversion, not low-noise LDO regulation; lacks automotive-grade OVP and reset features | Choose only for non-LDO, high-efficiency buck conversion; not a functional substitute for MAX15009ATJ+T's integrated protection and sequencing |
Compared with MAX15011ATJ+T, the MAX15009ATJ+T adds essential OVP functionality for battery rail monitoring, while TPS40400RHLR serves a fundamentally different architecture - a controller requiring external power stage components and offering no integrated reset or low-quiescent LDO regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LDO in MAX15009ATJ+T?
The MAX15009ATJ+T LDO delivers up to 300mA continuously under thermal limits. Its minimum guaranteed current limit is 330mA (short-circuit condition), but sustained 300mA operation depends on PCB layout, ambient temperature, and input-to-output voltage differential - dropout voltage reaches 1.5V at 300mA, so VIN must be ≥6.5V for stable 5V output. Derating is required above +70°C ambient due to 2.7W package power dissipation limit.
How does the OVP controller in MAX15009ATJ+T operate in limiter mode versus switch mode?
In limiter mode, MAX15009ATJ+T monitors SOURCE voltage via a resistive divider to FB_PROT, enabling the external n-channel MOSFET to operate in linear regulation - clamping output voltage during overvoltage. In switch mode, FB_PROT connects to the MOSFET drain, causing full turn-off when threshold is exceeded. Limiter mode provides smoother response for sensitive loads; switch mode offers complete isolation. Both use the same 1.235V reference and 4% hysteresis.
Can MAX15009ATJ+T be used with an adjustable LDO output voltage?
Yes, MAX15009ATJ+T supports adjustable LDO output from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistor divider from OUT_LDO to SGND, with FB_LDO connected to the divider midpoint. The internal 1.235V reference sets VOUT = 1.235V × (1 + R1/R2). Minimum 1.8V ensures proper HOLD functionality per datasheet Note 2. Fixed 5V operation is selected by connecting FB_LDO directly to SGND.
What is the purpose of the OC_DELAY pin on MAX15009ATJ+T, and how is it configured?
The OC_DELAY pin on MAX15009ATJ+T programs the blanking time before overcurrent detection triggers switch shutdown. It is internally pulled to SGND with a 1µA current source. Leaving OC_DELAY unconnected selects minimum timeout (~12µs); connecting a capacitor to SGND increases delay linearly - e.g., 100pF yields ~1.2ms. This prevents false trips during inrush or transient load spikes while maintaining fast fault response.
Does MAX15009ATJ+T require external components for basic operation, and which ones are mandatory?
Yes, MAX15009ATJ+T requires several mandatory external components: a 10μF/ESR<1.5Ω capacitor from IN to SGND; ≥22μF ceramic capacitor from OUT_LDO to SGND; ≥0.1μF ceramic capacitor from OUT_SW to SGND; and a resistor from ILIM to SGND (or connection to OUT_LDO) to set switch current limit. Optional but recommended: CT capacitor for reset timeout, FB_PROT divider for OVP threshold, and OC_DELAY capacitor for overcurrent blanking.
