Product details
Overview
The MAX16910CASA9+T from Analog Devices is an automotive-qualified, ultra-low quiescent current linear regulator delivering up to 200mA output with only 20µA no-load supply current and 1.6µA shutdown current. It operates from +3.5V to +30V input (transient-tolerant to +45V), supports fixed +3.3V/+5V or adjustable +1.5V to +11V outputs, and features open-drain active-low RESET with 92.5% threshold-designed for battery-powered automotive ECUs requiring cold-crank operation and load-dump resilience.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16910CASA9+T datasheet, MAX16910CASA9+T pinout, MAX16910CASA9+T application, or MAX16910CASA9+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +125°C operating range, 280mV dropout at 200mA, thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with 4.7µF ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained automotive modules.
Technical Context
This high-voltage linear regulator uses BiCMOS DMOS process technology and integrates a precision bandgap reference (1.25V SETOV feedback), dual-reset-threshold comparator (92.5% default), and internal timeout capacitor charging circuit (1.0µA typical ITO) to generate programmable RESET delay. Its ENABLE input withstands +45V and includes internal 0.65µA pulldown for fail-safe shutdown.
The device implements thermal shutdown at +180°C with +25°C hysteresis and short-circuit current limiting at 330mA (typ). Output voltage configuration is determined by SET and SETOV pin states: SET = GND + SETOV = OUT → 5V fixed; SET = GND + SETOV = GND → 3.3V fixed; SET > 2.4V + external divider → adjustable mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +3.5V to +30V continuous; +45V transient tolerant-enables direct connection to automotive battery under load-dump conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA at no load-meets <100µA module standby requirements for always-on automotive systems. |
| Output Current | Up to 200mA continuous-supports microcontroller, CAN transceiver, and sensor power rails in compact ECUs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280mV at 200mA-ensures regulation during cold-crank (as low as ~6V battery) with 5V output. |
| RESET Threshold | 92.5% of VOUT (fixed)-provides accurate power-on reset timing without external components. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C ambient-qualified for engine bay and transmission control unit mounting locations. |
| Package | 8-pin SO-EP (5mm × 4mm)-thermally enhanced with exposed pad for PCB heat sinking in high-power-density layouts. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16910CASA9+T is housed in an 8-pin SO-EP package (5mm × 4mm) with exposed thermal pad internally connected to GND. The pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane using multiple vias for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 53°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Regulator input | Bypass with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor; accepts +3.5V–+30V input and withstands +45V transients. |
| 2 ENABLE | Active-high enable | Logic-high (>2.4V) enables regulation; internally pulled down (0.65µA) for safe default-off behavior. |
| 3 SET | Feedback mode selector | GND = fixed-output mode; >2.4V = adjustable mode using external resistive divider on SETOV. |
| 4 RESET | Open-drain active-low reset | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 92.5% threshold; remains low for 60µs minimum after recovery. |
| 5 TIMEOUT | Reset timeout adjust | Connect capacitor to GND to extend reset delay beyond 60µs; internal 1.0µA ramp current sets timing. |
| 6 SETOV | Output voltage selector / feedback node | GND = 3.3V fixed; OUT = 5V fixed; external divider = adjustable output (1.5V–11V) with 1.25V reference. |
| 7 GND | Power ground | Reference for all signals; connects to exposed pad for thermal conduction path to PCB ground plane. |
| 8 OUT | Regulated output | Stable with ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor; delivers up to 200mA with 280mV dropout at full load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20µA no-load supply current enables >1-year battery life in always-on automotive modules. |
| Integrated RESET generator | Eliminates need for discrete reset IC-open-drain output with factory-trimmed 92.5% threshold and programmable delay. |
| Load-dump robustness | +45V input transient tolerance and thermal/short-circuit protection ensure reliability in 12V/24V automotive systems. |
| Flexible output configuration | Single device supports 3.3V, 5V, or 1.5V–11V adjustable outputs via pin-strapping-reduces BOM count across vehicle platforms. |
| Thermally enhanced SO-EP package | Exposed pad lowers junction-to-ambient thermal resistance to 53°C/W-enables 200mA operation at +125°C ambient. |

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX16910CASA9+T support?
The MAX16910CASA9+T supports three output configurations: fixed +3.3V (SETOV = GND), fixed +5V (SETOV = OUT), or adjustable +1.5V to +11V using an external resistive divider on the SETOV pin. The specific MAX16910CASA9+T variant is factory-configured for 92.5% RESET threshold and shipped in SO-EP packaging-output voltage is set by external circuitry, not by part number suffix.
How does the RESET function work on the MAX16910CASA9+T?
The MAX16910CASA9+T features an open-drain, active-low RESET output that asserts low when the regulated output voltage falls below 92.5% of its nominal value. After VOUT recovers, RESET remains low for a minimum of 60µs (default timeout); this delay can be extended by connecting a capacitor between TIMEOUT and GND. RESET also activates during ENABLE deactivation and thermal shutdown.
What is the thermal performance of the MAX16910CASA9+T in its SO-EP package?
The MAX16910CASA9+T in 8-pin SO-EP package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 53°C/W and junction-to-case (θJC) of 7°C/W when mounted on a multilayer PCB with exposed pad connected to ground plane. At +125°C ambient, it delivers 200mA output with VIN = 9V and VOUT = 5V while maintaining junction temperature below +150°C.
Can the MAX16910CASA9+T operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes-the MAX16910CASA9+T operates down to +3.5V input and maintains regulation with only 280mV dropout at 200mA load, enabling stable 5V output even when battery voltage sags to ~5.8V during cold-crank. Its -40°C to +125°C qualification and +45V transient tolerance further ensure robustness in real-world automotive environments.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX16910CASA9+T?
The MAX16910CASA9+T integrates thermal shutdown (trip at +180°C with +25°C hysteresis), short-circuit current limiting (330mA typ), and input overvoltage tolerance (+45V). It also includes internal ENABLE pulldown (0.65µA) for fail-safe shutdown and RESET assertion during fault conditions-eliminating need for external protection circuitry in most automotive designs.
