Product details
Overview
MAX16910DASA9/V+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-qualified, ultra-low quiescent current linear regulator delivering up to 200mA output with 20µA no-load supply current, 280mV dropout at 200mA, and +3.5V to +30V input range. It supports fixed 5V output (92.5% RESET threshold) and operates across -40°C to +125°C in a thermally enhanced 8-pin SO package. Used for powering microcontrollers and sensors in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16910DASA9/V+ datasheet, MAX16910DASA9/V+ pinout, MAX16910DASA9/V+ application, or MAX16910DASA9/V+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 92.5% reset threshold accuracy, 1.6µA shutdown current, +45V transient tolerance, and compatibility with 4.7µF ceramic output capacitors under cold-crank and load-dump conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX16910DASA9/V+ implements a high-voltage BiCMOS DMOS linear regulation architecture with integrated thermal shutdown (+180°C trip, +25°C hysteresis) and short-circuit protection (330mA limit). Its RESET output is open-drain, active-low, with factory-trimmed 92.5% threshold and 60µs default timeout extendable via TIMEOUT pin capacitor.
Configuration is determined by SET and SETOV pins: SET = GND and SETOV = OUT selects fixed 5V output; SET = GND and SETOV = GND selects 3.3V; SET > 2.4V enables adjustable mode (1.5V–11V) using external resistive divider referenced to 1.25V SETOV feedback voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +3.5V to +30V continuous; +45V tolerant for ≤400ms - survives automotive load-dump transients. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA at no load - enables always-on systems meeting <100µA module sleep requirements. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.6µA - ensures minimal battery drain during vehicle off-state. |
| Output Current | Up to 200mA - sufficient for MCU cores, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280mV at 200mA - maintains regulation during cold-crank down to ~4.7V input for 5V output. |
| RESET Threshold | 92.5% of VOUT (±2.5%) - precise brown-out detection for 5V rail without external supervision IC. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and body-control module placement. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16910DASA9/V+ is housed in an 8-pin SO-EP (5mm × 4mm) package with exposed thermal pad connected internally to GND. The package provides 53°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Regulator input | Bypassed with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic; withstands +45V transients - connects directly to battery rail. |
| 2 ENABLE | Active-high enable | Internally pulled down (0.65µA); logic-high ≥2.4V turns on regulator - allows direct connection to IN for always-on operation. |
| 3 SET | Feedback mode selector | GND = fixed output mode; >2.4V = adjustable mode - configures internal vs. external feedback path. |
| 4 RESET | Open-drain active-low reset | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 92.5% threshold or ENABLE is low - drives µC reset pin with 0.4V max VOL at 0.5mA. |
| 5 TIMEOUT | Reset timeout adjust | Unconnected = 60µs delay; capacitor to GND extends timeout - enables flexible reset timing for diverse MCUs. |
| 6 SETOV | Output voltage selector / FB node | Connected to OUT for 5V fixed; to GND for 3.3V; or to external divider for adjustable output - sets regulated voltage reference point. |
| 7 GND | Power ground | Reference for all signals; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
| 8 OUT | Regulated output | Stable with ≥4.7µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor - supplies power to downstream logic with low noise and fast transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20µA no-load operation - meets stringent ISO 16750-2 sleep-mode current budgets for automotive ECUs. |
| Integrated RESET with trim accuracy | Factory-trimmed 92.5% VOUT threshold (±2.5%) and 60µs minimum timeout - eliminates discrete reset IC and associated BOM cost. |
| Load-dump and cold-crank resilience | +45V input tolerance and 280mV dropout at 200mA - sustains regulation during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) and Pulse 4 (cold crank). |
| Thermal and short-circuit robustness | +180°C thermal shutdown with +25°C hysteresis and 330mA short-circuit current limit - protects against sustained overloads without latch-off. |
| Flexible output configuration | Single device supports 3.3V/5V fixed outputs or 1.5V–11V adjustable via external resistor divider - reduces SKU count across platforms. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16910DASA8/V+ | Same SO-EP package and specs, but 87.5% RESET threshold instead of 92.5% - tighter undervoltage margin. | Suitable where earlier reset assertion is required (e.g., systems with wider VOUT tolerance or lower MCU VDD min). | Select MAX16910DASA8/V+ if system requires earlier brown-out detection; otherwise MAX16910DASA9/V+ provides higher noise immunity before reset. |
| TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 | 500mA output, 28µA IQ, 35V max input, but only 5V fixed output and no adjustable mode - lacks SET/SETOV flexibility. | Used in higher-current automotive domains (e.g., ADAS power rails) where 200mA is insufficient. | Choose TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 for >200mA loads; MAX16910DASA9/V+ remains optimal for 200mA + configurability + RESET integration. |
Compared with MAX16910DASA8/V+, the MAX16910DASA9/V+ offers later reset assertion for improved noise immunity; compared with TPS7B8750QKVURQ1, it trades current capability for output configurability and smaller footprint - making it ideal for space-constrained, multi-rail automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the RESET threshold voltage for MAX16910DASA9/V+?
The MAX16910DASA9/V+ features a factory-trimmed RESET threshold at 92.5% of the output voltage, with ±2.5% accuracy over temperature. For a 5V output, this corresponds to 4.625V nominal, ensuring reliable brown-out detection before MCU functional failure. This threshold is fixed and cannot be adjusted externally - it is inherent to the /V9 variant.
Can MAX16910DASA9/V+ be used in adjustable-output mode?
Yes, MAX16910DASA9/V+ supports adjustable output mode: connect SET pin to IN (or >2.4V), then use an external resistive divider between OUT and SETOV to set VOUT from 1.5V to 11V. The internal SETOV reference is 1.25V, so VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2). Fixed 3.3V/5V modes require SET = GND.
What package type does MAX16910DASA9/V+ use?
MAX16910DASA9/V+ uses an 8-pin SO-EP (small outline with exposed pad) package measuring 5mm × 4mm. The exposed pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to achieve the specified 53°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and ensure reliable operation at full load.
How does the TIMEOUT pin affect MAX16910DASA9/V+ reset behavior?
The TIMEOUT pin on MAX16910DASA9/V+ sets the duration RESET remains low after VOUT recovers above threshold. With TIMEOUT unconnected, the default is 60µs. Connecting a capacitor (CTIMEOUT) from TIMEOUT to GND extends the timeout per t = 1.25 ms/nF × CTIMEOUT. For example, a 1nF capacitor yields ~1.25ms delay - enabling alignment with MCU reset timing requirements.
Is MAX16910DASA9/V+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX16910DASA9/V+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0: -40°C to +125°C) and designed for automotive use. It meets ISO 7637-2 load-dump (Pulse 5a, +45V) and cold-crank (Pulse 4, down to +3.5V) requirements, includes thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection, and is manufactured in an automotive-grade process flow.
