Product details
Overview
The MAX5023TASA from Maxim Integrated is a high-voltage linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset and watchdog timer, designed for automotive power-supply supervision. It operates from +6.5V to +65V input, delivers up to 150mA output current at fixed +3.3V, consumes only 60μA quiescent current, withstands −60V reverse-battery voltage, and features active-low open-drain RESET with 7.5% threshold tolerance-used in ignition-controlled self-holding circuits for vehicle body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX5023TASA datasheet, MAX5023TASA pinout, MAX5023TASA application, or MAX5023TASA equivalent, this device requires attention to its HOLD/EN logic interaction, WDI watchdog timing (1.6s timeout), thermal derating above +70°C, and SO-EP package thermal management for sustained 150mA operation under automotive ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX5023TASA implements a BiCMOS linear regulator with internal bandgap reference, reverse-battery protection circuitry, and a dedicated watchdog timer monitoring WDI transitions. Its reset supervisor shares the same reference as the regulator and asserts RESET when VOUT falls below 2.970V (−7.5% of 3.3V) or remains asserted for 140–260ms after recovery.
HOLD and EN inputs enable autonomous latching behavior: pulling HOLD low after enabling locks the regulator ON regardless of subsequent EN state; releasing HOLD while EN is low forces shutdown. The exposed pad (EP) connects to GND and provides θJC = 2°C/W thermal path for 1.5W dissipation at TA ≤ +70°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +6.5V to +65V - supports wide automotive battery transients including load dump up to +65V |
| Output Voltage | +3.3V ±3.6% (2.970V–3.135V) - factory-trimmed fixed output with guaranteed accuracy over −40°C to +125°C |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - guaranteed continuous delivery with thermal shutdown at TJ = +150°C |
| Quiescent Current | 58–140μA - enables always-on subsystems with minimal parasitic drain during vehicle sleep mode |
| Reverse-Battery Protection | −60V - survives jump-start polarity reversal without external diode or fuse |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12–2.08s - monitors microcontroller health via WDI pulse train; resets system if frozen |
| Reset Threshold Tolerance | ±1.25% (−7.5% of nominal) - ensures reliable brownout detection for 3.3V logic rails |
Pinout & Package
MAX5023TASA is housed in an 8-pin surface-mount SO-EP (Small Outline–Exposed Pad) package with thermally enhanced copper pad soldered to PCB ground plane for 1.5W dissipation at TA = +70°C. Pin 1 is IN; Pin 2 is EN; Pin 3 is GND; Pin 4 is RESET; Pin 5 is HOLD; Pin 6 is N.C.; Pin 7 is WDI; Pin 8 is OUT; EP is internally connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator Input | Accepts +6.5V to +65V supply; requires 10μF bypass capacitor to GND for stability |
| 2 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high logic; internal 5MΩ pull-down ensures default OFF state at power-up |
| 3 (GND) | Ground / Thermal Heatsink | Serves as primary return path and thermal conduction interface to PCB copper area |
| 4 (RESET) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Asserts low when VOUT < 2.970V or WDI stalls >1.6s; requires external pullup to VOUT or system rail |
| 5 (HOLD) | Hold Control Input | Active-low latch: forces regulator ON even after EN goes low; internally pulled up to OUT with 4μA current source |
| 6 (N.C.) | No Connection | Not bonded; must remain unconnected per design-no routing or stitching allowed |
| 7 (WDI) | Watchdog Timer Input | Monitors rising/falling edges; reset triggered if no transition occurs within 1.12–2.08s window |
| 8 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers +3.3V at up to 150mA; requires ≥15μF output capacitor with ESR < 0.5Ω for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Self-holding circuit implementation | HOLD input enables latched ON state without external components-critical for ignition-switched automotive modules |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6s timeout period with automatic RESET assertion prevents system lockup in microcontroller failure scenarios |
| Reverse-battery survivability | Withstands −60V at IN pin without damage-eliminates need for external series diode in battery-connected applications |
| Thermal performance | θJA = 41°C/W and θJC = 2°C/W allow 1.5W dissipation at +70°C ambient using standard 4-layer board layout |
| Automotive-grade operation | Specified from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature with production-tested limits at extremes |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX5024TASA | Same SO-EP package and pinout; replaces WDI with SET input for adjustable output (2.5V–11V); no watchdog function | Used where programmable output voltage is required instead of fixed 3.3V; unsuitable for MCU watchdog supervision | Select MAX5024TASA only if adjustable output is needed and watchdog functionality is not required |
| TPS7B7702QPWPRQ1 | Automotive-grade 40V LDO with integrated reset (adjustable threshold), but no watchdog or HOLD latch; 125mA max output | Lacks self-holding capability and WDI monitoring; suited for simpler reset-only supervision without latching logic | Choose TPS7B7702QPWPRQ1 when HOLD/WDI features are unnecessary and lower output current suffices |
Compared with MAX5024TASA and TPS7B7702QPWPRQ1, the MAX5023TASA uniquely combines fixed +3.3V output, −60V reverse-battery tolerance, HOLD-based latching, and WDI watchdog in a single SO-EP package-making it irreplaceable for ignition-latched automotive subsystems requiring fail-safe MCU supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX5023TASA?
The MAX5023TASA has a guaranteed reset threshold of 2.970V to 3.135V (−7.5% of 3.3V nominal), specified over −40°C to +125°C. This threshold is factory-trimmed and applies to the T-suffix variant per the Selector Guide. The MAX5023TASA asserts RESET low when VOUT drops below this range and holds low for 140–260ms after recovery. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold" for MAX5023_T.
Does MAX5023TASA support adjustable output voltage?
No, the MAX5023TASA does not support adjustable output voltage. It is a fixed +3.3V output device. Adjustable operation is exclusive to the MAX5024 family (e.g., MAX5024TASA), which uses the SET pin for feedback divider configuration. The MAX5023TASA lacks the SET pin entirely-Pin 7 is WDI, and no internal circuitry enables output adjustment. Its output is trimmed and unchangeable.
How does the HOLD input function in MAX5023TASA?
In the MAX5023TASA, the HOLD input is an active-low latch that maintains regulator output ON even after EN is deasserted. When HOLD is pulled low after enabling, the internal logic stores the ON state. To shut down, HOLD must be released (allowed to float or pulled high) while EN remains low. HOLD is internally pulled up to OUT with a 4μA current source, so leaving it unconnected defaults to active HIGH (shutdown-ready state).
What thermal derating applies to MAX5023TASA at +105°C ambient?
At TA = +105°C, the MAX5023TASA's maximum allowable power dissipation is calculated as PD = 1.538W − 0.01923W/°C × (105°C − 70°C) = 0.865W. With VIN = +14V and VOUT = +3.3V, this supports up to ~77mA continuous output current before thermal shutdown activates. Derating follows JEDEC JESD51-7 4-layer board assumptions; actual performance depends on PCB copper area and airflow.
Is MAX5023TASA qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX5023TASA is automotive-qualified: it carries the "/V" suffix in ordering nomenclature (though not present in the base part number shown, the ASA package code and −40°C to +125°C operating range confirm AEC-Q100 alignment). It is specified for automotive environments with reverse-battery protection, load-dump tolerance, and production-tested performance across the full temperature range-explicitly cited in Applications and Ordering Information sections.
