Product details
Overview
MAX1792EUA33-TG069 from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V fixed-output, 500mA low-dropout linear regulator featuring an internal PMOS pass transistor, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load, 130mV dropout at full load, and integrated active-low open-drain reset with 4ms timeout - designed for power rail regulation in portable battery-powered systems such as notebook computers and USB hubs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1792EUA33-TG069 datasheet, MAX1792EUA33-TG069 pinout, MAX1792EUA33-TG069 application, or MAX1792EUA33-TG069 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 500mA output under 130mV dropout, 0.1µA shutdown current, thermal overload protection, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors (3.3µF) for stable operation across -40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX1792EUA33-TG069 employs a P-channel MOSFET pass device with 0.25Ω RDS(ON), enabling low quiescent current (80µA typical) independent of load and eliminating base-drive losses inherent in PNP-based regulators. Its Dual Mode™ architecture selects between factory-trimmed 3.3V output (via SET = GND) and adjustable mode (via external resistor divider), with VSET threshold at 1.25V ±1.5%.
Regulation relies on a precision 1.25V reference and error amplifier comparing feedback against VSET; reset logic monitors VOUT against 93% of nominal (3.069V) with 1.5–8ms release delay. Thermal shutdown activates at +170°C with 20°C hysteresis, and short-circuit current limit is 0.55–1.8A depending on output voltage condition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% over -40°C to +85°C, 100mA–500mA load, ensuring stable core logic supply without external resistors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 130mV at 500mA load, enabling operation down to VIN = 3.43V - critical for extending battery life in single-cell Li-ion or 3-cell NiMH systems. |
| Ground Current | 80µA typical at 1mA load, rising to 130µA at 500mA - remains stable in dropout, minimizing wasted battery energy. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA maximum at VIN = 5.5V, allowing ultra-low-power sleep states in portable devices without auxiliary switches. |
| Reset Threshold | 93% of nominal VOUT (3.069V), with 4ms timeout after regulation recovery - provides reliable power-on-reset signaling to microcontrollers. |
| Thermal Protection | Activates at +170°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis, enabling safe pulsed operation during sustained overload without latch-off. |
| Package Power Dissipation | 1.3W continuous at +70°C ambient, derated 17mW/°C above - requires exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal compliance. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1792EUA33-TG069 is housed in an 8-pin Power-µMAX package (U8E+2 outline) with an exposed thermal pad (EP) on the underside, requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal management and electrical grounding. The package measures 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.8mm and supports reflow soldering up to +260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 IN | Input supply connection | Dual pins reduce trace resistance and inductance; bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND near pin for stability and noise suppression. |
| 3 RST | Open-drain active-low reset output | Pulls low when VOUT < 3.069V; requires external 100kΩ pullup to OUT for logic-level POR signal to µC. |
| 4 SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Drives regulator into 0.1µA state; internally pulls OUT low via 5kΩ resistor and forces RST low during shutdown. |
| 5 GND | Power and signal ground | Serves as primary heat path; must be connected to large copper area or ground plane alongside EP for thermal performance. |
| 6 SET | Voltage-setting input | Internally grounded for 3.3V fixed mode; connects to external resistor divider for adjustable outputs (1.25V–5.0V). |
| 7, 8 OUT | Regulated output | Dual pins support 500mA RMS delivery; bypass with 3.3µF low-ESR (≤0.1Ω) ceramic capacitor to GND for transient response. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Not electrically connected internally; must be soldered to PCB ground plane to achieve θJA ≤ 65°C/W and sustain 1.3W dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Preset 3.3V output | Factory-trimmed ±1% accuracy eliminates external feedback components and calibration effort for standard I/O rail applications. |
| Low 130mV dropout | Enables >95% efficiency at 500mA with VIN as low as 3.43V, extending usable battery voltage range in portable equipment. |
| 0.1µA shutdown current | Reduces standby power loss to negligible levels, supporting multi-week battery shelf life in always-on IoT edge nodes. |
| Integrated reset with 4ms timeout | Provides deterministic power-on-reset timing without external RC networks, simplifying BOM and layout for microcontroller interfaces. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Prevents destructive overheating during sustained overload while allowing automatic recovery once junction cools by 20°C. |
| 8-pin Power-µMAX package | 3.0mm × 3.0mm footprint with exposed pad delivers 1.3W dissipation in minimal board area - ideal for space-constrained handhelds. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS76333DBVR | 300mA output, 250mV dropout at 300mA, 1.2µA quiescent current, SOT-23-5 package. | Limited to lower current loads; lacks reset output and thermal hysteresis. | Select when board space is constrained and 300mA suffices; requires external reset circuitry if POR needed. |
| Analog Devices ADP1713AUJZ-3.3-R7 | 500mA output, 170mV dropout at 500mA, 35µA quiescent current, TSOT-5 package. | No integrated reset; smaller package but lower power dissipation (0.5W max). | Choose for ultra-low IQ designs where reset functionality is handled elsewhere; not suitable for high-ambient thermal environments. |
Compared with MAX1792EUA33-TG069, the TPS76333DBVR offers smaller footprint but sacrifices 200mA current capacity and reset integration, while the ADP1713AUJZ-3.3-R7 matches current rating but omits reset and thermal hysteresis - making MAX1792EUA33-TG069 uniquely suited for thermally demanding, self-contained POR applications in portable systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for MAX1792EUA33-TG069 across temperature and load?
The MAX1792EUA33-TG069 guarantees ±1% output voltage accuracy over -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature and 1mA to 500mA load current, with VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.5V. This is achieved via factory trimming of internal feedback resistors and a precision 1.25V reference, ensuring consistent 3.3V regulation without external calibration.
Does MAX1792EUA33-TG069 require external capacitors, and what are the recommended values?
Yes, MAX1792EUA33-TG069 requires a 1µF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND, and a 3.3µF low-ESR (≤0.1Ω) ceramic capacitor between OUT and GND. For output voltages below 2V, a 4.7µF output capacitor is recommended. These values ensure stability, low noise (115µVRMS), and optimal transient response per the datasheet's operating characteristics.
How does the reset function of MAX1792EUA33-TG069 operate, and what external components are needed?
The MAX1792EUA33-TG069's RST pin is an open-drain output that goes low when VOUT falls below 93% of nominal (3.069V) and remains low for ≥4ms after VOUT recovers. To generate a logic-high signal, connect a 100kΩ pullup resistor from RST to OUT. No other external components are required - the timeout and threshold are fully internal.
Can MAX1792EUA33-TG069 be used in adjustable-output configurations, and how is that enabled?
Yes, MAX1792EUA33-TG069 supports adjustable output from 1.25V to 5.0V by disconnecting SET from GND and connecting it to a resistive divider between OUT and GND. With VSET = 1.25V, R2 is selected between 25kΩ and 100kΩ, and R1 is calculated as R1 = R2 × ((VOUT / 1.25) − 1). The fixed 3.3V preset mode is active only when SET is tied to GND.
What thermal management practices are required for MAX1792EUA33-TG069 to sustain 500mA output continuously?
To sustain 500mA continuously, MAX1792EUA33-TG069 requires its exposed thermal pad (EP) and GND pin to be soldered to a large PCB ground plane using multiple thermal vias. Without this, junction temperature may exceed +150°C. The package is rated for 1.3W dissipation at +70°C ambient, derating 17mW/°C above that - proper thermal design prevents activation of the +170°C thermal shutdown.
