Product details
Overview
MAX5023MASA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-voltage linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset and watchdog timer, operating from +6.5V to +65V input and delivering up to 150mA output current at fixed +5.0V (±2% over temperature), with 60μA no-load quiescent current and -60V reverse-battery protection. It is designed for automotive power-supply supervision in ignition-switched systems requiring self-holding behavior and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5023MASA+ datasheet, MAX5023MASA+ pinout, MAX5023MASA+ application, or MAX5023MASA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.6s watchdog timeout, active-low open-drain RESET with 200ms timeout, HOLD/EN control logic for latch-up-free ignition sequencing, and SO-EP thermal performance enabling 1.5W dissipation at +70°C ambient.
Technical Context
The MAX5023MASA+ implements a BiCMOS linear regulator with internal bandgap reference, thermal shutdown at +150°C (20°C hysteresis), and reverse-battery protection circuitry that limits input current to ≤10μA at -60V. Its reset supervisor uses the same reference as the regulator, asserting RESET when VOUT falls below 4.375V (–12.5% of 5V) and holding low for 200ms after recovery.
Watchdog functionality monitors WDI pin transitions: absence of edge within 1.12–2.08s triggers RESET assertion; RESET remains low for full 140–260ms regardless of subsequent WDI activity. The HOLD input enables self-holding via internal 4μA pullup to OUT, allowing EN to be released while maintaining regulation - a feature validated for automotive ignition switch interfaces.

Pinout & Package
MAX5023MASA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO-EP (Small Outline–Exposed Pad) package with thermally enhanced copper pad soldered to PCB ground plane for 41°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The exposed pad (EP) must be connected to GND for optimal thermal performance and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Regulator Input | High-voltage input rail (+6.5V to +65V); requires 10μF bypass to GND |
| 2 EN | Enable Input (active-high) | Pull ≥2.4V to enable regulation; internally pulled down with 5MΩ resistor |
| 3 GND | Ground / Thermal Heatsink | Reference node and primary thermal path; must connect EP to GND plane |
| 4 RESET | Active-Low Open-Drain Reset Output | Asserts low on brownout or watchdog timeout; requires external pullup |
| 5 HOLD | Hold Input (active-low) | Forces latched ON state when pulled low after EN activation; internal 4μA pullup to OUT |
| 6 N.C. | No Connection | Not bonded; leave unconnected and unpopulated on PCB |
| 7 WDI | Watchdog Timer Input | Accepts logic-level pulses; reset triggered if no transition >1.6s |
| 8 OUT | Regulator Output | +5V regulated output; requires ≥15μF low-ESR capacitor to GND |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage linear regulator with reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX5024MASA+ | Replaces fixed +5V output with adjustable output (2.5V–11V) via SET pin; lacks WDI watchdog input | Suitable where output voltage flexibility outweighs need for hardware watchdog; not drop-in for watchdog-dependent firmware | Select MAX5024MASA+ only if adjustable output is required and watchdog functionality is handled externally or in software |
| TPS7B7702QPWPRQ1 | Automotive-grade 40V LDO with integrated watchdog and reset, but lower 100mA output current and no HOLD latch function | Better suited for lower-current MCU cores; cannot implement self-holding ignition circuits without external MOSFET | Choose TPS7B7702QPWPRQ1 when AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification is mandatory and HOLD functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX5024MASA+, MAX5023MASA+ provides essential watchdog supervision for safety-critical firmware, while TPS7B7702QPWPRQ1 offers higher automotive qualification but sacrifices the HOLD latch needed for ignition-switched architectures - making MAX5023MASA+ uniquely suited for BCM and body electronics where both features are required.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX5023MASA+?
The MAX5023MASA+ has a guaranteed reset threshold of 4.375V (–12.5% of nominal 5.0V output), with min/max limits of 4.25V to 4.50V across –40°C to +125°C. This threshold is factory-trimmed and referenced to the internal bandgap, ensuring accurate brownout detection independent of external components. The MAX5023MASA+ asserts active-low RESET when VOUT falls below this level and holds it low for 140–260ms after recovery.
Does MAX5023MASA+ support adjustable output voltage?
No, MAX5023MASA+ does not support adjustable output voltage. It is a fixed +5.0V output device. The SET pin is absent in MAX5023 variants; only MAX5024 devices include the SET pin for configuring outputs from +2.5V to +11V using an external resistor divider. MAX5023MASA+ integrates dedicated WDI and fixed-feedback circuitry optimized for watchdog-critical applications where output stability and simplicity are prioritized over adjustability.
How does the HOLD function work in MAX5023MASA+?
In MAX5023MASA+, the HOLD pin implements a self-holding circuit: when pulled low after EN is asserted high, the regulator remains ON even if EN is subsequently driven low. This behavior is enabled by internal logic that latches the output state. To shut down, HOLD must be released (allowed to float or pulled high) while EN is low. An internal 4μA current source pulls HOLD to OUT, so connecting HOLD directly to OUT achieves latching without external components - a key feature for automotive ignition-switched systems.
What thermal performance can be expected from MAX5023MASA+ in SO-EP package?
MAX5023MASA+ in SO-EP package delivers 41°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) when mounted on a 4-layer PCB with 1in² copper pour connected to the exposed pad. At +70°C ambient, it dissipates 1.538W continuously; above +70°C, derating is 19.2mW/°C. With proper thermal layout, MAX5023MASA+ sustains 150mA output at +85°C ambient when VIN = +14V and VOUT = +5V - verified in Maxim's thermal tutorial and Figure 5 of the datasheet.
Is MAX5023MASA+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX5023MASA+ is specified for the automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and carries the "/V" suffix option (e.g., MAX5023MASA/V+) for AEC-Q100 qualified versions. While MAX5023MASA+ itself is not explicitly marked /V in the ordering guide, its electrical characteristics, thermal design, and packaging meet automotive-grade reliability requirements. For production automotive use, Aetrix recommends verifying qualification status with the latest Maxim/Analog Devices documentation and selecting the /V+ variant where formal AEC-Q100 certification is contractually required.
