Product details
Overview
The MAX16910DATA9+ from Analog Devices is an automotive-qualified, ultra-low quiescent current linear regulator delivering up to 200mA output with 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% output threshold-ideal for engine control units and ADAS power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16910DATA9+ datasheet, MAX16910DATA9+ pinout, MAX16910DATA9+ application, or MAX16910DATA9+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, RESET timing behavior, automotive-grade reliability specs, and precise package-level design guidance for cold-crank and load-dump resilience.
Technical Context
The MAX16910DATA9+ implements a BiCMOS DMOS linear regulation architecture with integrated thermal shutdown (+180°C trip, +25°C hysteresis) and short-circuit protection (330mA typical limit). Its SET/SETOV dual-input configuration enables mode selection between internal fixed-voltage feedback (3.3V or 5V) and external resistive divider-based adjustable output.
RESET functionality uses a precision voltage comparator monitoring VOUT against 92.5% of nominal output, with a default 60µs timeout extended via TIMEOUT pin capacitor. ENABLE withstands +45V and includes internal 0.65µA pulldown, enabling direct connection to battery rail for always-on operation without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +3.5V to +30V continuous; +45V transient tolerant-supports 12V/24V automotive systems through load-dump events. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA at no load-enables >1-year battery standby in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Output Current | 200mA maximum-sufficient for microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280mV at 200mA (5V output)-maintains regulation during cold-crank down to ~4.7V input. |
| RESET Threshold | 92.5% of VOUT (MAX16910DATA9+ variant)-ensures deterministic microcontroller reset before brownout. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C ambient-qualified for under-hood automotive placement per AEC-Q100. |
| Package | 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm)-exposed pad provides 8°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16910DATA9+ is housed in an 8-pin thermally enhanced TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm) with exposed pad connected internally to GND. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Regulator input | Bypass with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor; accepts +3.5V–+30V supply and +45V transients. |
| 2 ENABLE | Active-high enable input | Internally pulled down (0.65µA); +45V tolerant-connect directly to battery for always-on operation. |
| 3 SET | Feedback network selector | GND = fixed-output mode; IN or >2.4V = adjustable mode using external resistor divider. |
| 4 RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Asserts low when VOUT falls below 92.5% threshold; remains low for 60µs (extendable via TIMEOUT). |
| 5 TIMEOUT | Reset timeout period adjust input | Open = 60µs default; capacitor to GND sets longer delay (e.g., 8nF → 10ms) for slow-ramping supplies. |
| 6 SETOV | Output voltage selector / feedback node | GND = 3.3V fixed; OUT = 5V fixed; external divider = adjustable output (1.5V–11V). |
| 7 GND | Power and signal ground | Reference for all analog circuitry; connect exposed pad to same ground plane. |
| 8 OUT | Regulated output | Stable with ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor; supplies MCU core, I/O, or peripheral rails. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20µA no-load operation enables >1-year battery life in always-on automotive modules. |
| Load-dump robustness | +45V input transient tolerance meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements without external clamping. |
| Integrated RESET generator | Eliminates discrete reset IC: 92.5% threshold, 60µs minimum timeout, open-drain output compatible with 1.8V–5V logic. |
| Flexible output configuration | Single device supports 3.3V, 5V, or 1.5V–11V outputs via pin-strapping-reduces BOM count across platform variants. |
| Thermal fault protection | +180°C shutdown with +25°C hysteresis prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16910CATA9/V+ | Same electrical specs and pinout; differs only in top-mark code (+BLV vs +BRZ) and qualification grade (C-grade vs D-grade). | Automotive AEC-Q100 Grade C (vs D) - suitable for non-safety-critical infotainment but not powertrain. | Select MAX16910CATA9/V+ only if Grade C qualification suffices and TDFN-EP package is acceptable. |
| TLV73350PDBVR | Lower IQ (450nA), lower max current (300mA), no RESET, no automotive temp range (–40°C to +125°C not guaranteed). | Lacks RESET output and automotive qualification-requires external reset IC and derating for under-hood use. | Choose TLV73350PDBVR only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where RESET and AEC-Q100 are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX16910DATA9+, MAX16910CATA9/V+ offers identical performance in a functionally equivalent package but with Grade C qualification, while TLV73350PDBVR trades RESET integration and automotive reliability for ultra-low IQ in non-automotive contexts.

FAQ
What is the RESET threshold voltage for MAX16910DATA9+?
The MAX16910DATA9+ has a fixed RESET threshold of 92.5% of the regulated output voltage. For a 5V output, this equals 4.625V; for 3.3V, it is 3.06V. The threshold remains stable over temperature (±0.5% variation from –40°C to +125°C), and RESET asserts low when VOUT falls below this level and remains low for ≥60µs after recovery.
Can MAX16910DATA9+ operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes, MAX16910DATA9+ maintains regulation during cold-crank due to its 280mV dropout voltage at 200mA (5V output) and wide +3.5V to +30V input range. At 5V output, it sustains regulation down to ~4.72V input-well above typical cold-crank minimums of 3.5V–4.5V-without requiring external boost circuitry.
How is the output voltage configured on MAX16910DATA9+?
MAX16910DATA9+ supports three output configurations: (1) 3.3V fixed: SET = GND, SETOV = GND; (2) 5V fixed: SET = GND, SETOV = OUT; (3) adjustable (1.5V–11V): SET = IN or >2.4V, SETOV connected to resistive divider (VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2)). All modes use the same MAX16910DATA9+ silicon die and pinout.
What package type does MAX16910DATA9+ use, and how should the exposed pad be handled?
MAX16910DATA9+ uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm) with exposed thermal pad internally connected to GND. The pad must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to achieve specified θJC = 8°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown under 200mA load at +125°C ambient.
Does MAX16910DATA9+ include protection features beyond thermal shutdown?
Yes, MAX16910DATA9+ integrates short-circuit protection (330mA typical current limit), +45V input transient tolerance, and ENABLE input overvoltage resilience. It also features internal pulldown on ENABLE (0.65µA), allowing safe three-state driver interfacing, and open-drain RESET with 0.4V VOL at 0.5mA sink current for reliable microcontroller signaling.
