Product details
Overview
MAX6329VHUT+ from Maxim Integrated is a 150mA low-dropout linear voltage regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, preset +1.8V output, -10% reset threshold, open-drain active-low RESET output, and shutdown control. It consumes only 25µA quiescent current, features 180mV dropout at 100mA, and operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input - ideal for battery-powered handheld instruments and USB devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6329VHUT+ datasheet, MAX6329VHUT+ pinout, MAX6329VHUT+ application, or MAX6329VHUT+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed +1.8V output, -10% reset tolerance, SOT23-6 package, shutdown functionality, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MAX6329VHUT+ integrates a P-channel MOSFET LDO regulator core and a precision reset supervisor sharing a common 1.23V reference. Its regulator uses internal feedback to maintain ±3.0% output accuracy over temperature and load, while the reset circuit monitors VOUT continuously and asserts RESET for ≥100ms after recovery from brownout.
Shutdown is implemented via an active-low SHDN pin that reduces total supply current to <1µA by disabling the pass transistor, reference, and bias circuits. The device includes reverse leakage protection, thermal shutdown at +160°C (20°C hysteresis), and short-circuit current limiting to 350mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +1.8V fixed, ±3.0% accuracy over 0°C to +85°C - ensures stable core logic supply for low-voltage microcontrollers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180mV at 100mA load - enables operation down to VIN = 1.98V, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Supply Current | 25µA typical, independent of load - minimizes standby power in always-on portable applications. |
| Reset Threshold | -10% of VOUT (1.62V typ) - triggers reset before critical undervoltage causes processor corruption; matches industry-standard µP tolerance bands. |
| Reset Timeout | 100ms minimum - guarantees clock oscillator and supply stabilization before releasing processor reset. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA max - enables deep-sleep modes in battery-backed systems without compromising runtime. |
| Output Capacitor | 1µF min ceramic - supports compact, low-BOM-count designs without requiring large electrolytics or complex compensation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with wide-input DC-DC stages, USB ports, and multi-cell battery sources. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6329VHUT+ is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package with exposed pad thermal enhancement. GND serves as both electrical reference and primary heat path; recommended soldering to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V unregulated supply; connects to upstream DC source or battery. |
| 2 GND | Ground reference & thermal sink | Common return for regulator, reset, and shutdown; must be connected to large copper area for thermal dissipation. |
| 3 SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pulls regulator into sub-1µA sleep mode when driven low; connect to MCU GPIO or system power manager. |
| 4 RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Sinks current to assert reset on µP's active-low /RESET pin; requires external pullup to VOUT or system rail. |
| 5 SET | Feedback configuration node | Internally tied to GND for +1.8V fixed output (VH suffix); no external components required. |
| 6 OUT | Regulated +1.8V output | Delivers up to 150mA; bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated reset supervisor | Eliminates need for discrete RC timing networks or external supervisors - reduces BOM count and board space in space-constrained designs. |
| Reverse leakage protection | Zero reverse current from OUT to IN enables backup battery operation without external blocking diodes - critical for fail-safe power management. |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering shutdown at +160°C and 350mA current limit prevent damage during fault conditions - enhances field reliability without external protection circuitry. |
| Low-noise, high-PSRR regulation | Typical PSRR >50dB at 1kHz improves immunity to switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters - preserves signal integrity in mixed-signal SoC systems. |
| 1µF ceramic capacitor stability | Guaranteed stability with low-ESR ceramics simplifies layout and avoids costly tantalum or polymer alternatives - lowers total system cost. |
Applications
| Hand-Held Instruments | USB-Powered Peripherals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout regulator with integrated reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6328VHUT+ | Same package and pinout, but lacks SHDN pin - fixed operation only; 25µA IQ unchanged. | No software-controlled deep-sleep capability; suitable only for always-on or hardware-reset-only systems. | Select MAX6328VHUT+ only if shutdown functionality is unnecessary and BOM simplification is prioritized. |
| TPS76318QDBVRQ1 | Automotive-grade 1.8V LDO (±2% accuracy), 120mV dropout at 150mA, no integrated reset - requires external supervisor. | Higher accuracy and lower dropout, but adds component count and layout complexity for reset generation. | Choose TPS76318QDBVRQ1 when AEC-Q100 qualification and tighter regulation are mandatory, and external reset supervision is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX6329VHUT+, MAX6328VHUT+ removes shutdown control to reduce cost and pin count, while TPS76318QDBVRQ1 trades integrated reset for automotive reliability and improved regulation - neither offers drop-in replacement capability due to functional and pinout differences.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX6329VHUT+ provide?
The MAX6329VHUT+ provides a fixed +1.8V regulated output with ±3.0% accuracy across 0°C to +85°C. This is confirmed by the 'VH' suffix in the part number, which corresponds to the +1.8V/-10% reset variant per Maxim's Selector Guide. The SET pin is internally configured for this preset value, eliminating need for external resistors.
Does the MAX6329VHUT+ include a shutdown feature?
Yes, the MAX6329VHUT+ includes an active-low SHDN pin (Pin 3) that reduces total supply current to less than 1µA when asserted. This feature is specific to the MAX6329 family (not MAX6349), enabling deep-sleep modes in portable systems. Driving SHDN low disables the pass transistor, reference, and all bias circuits.
What type of reset output does the MAX6329VHUT+ use?
The MAX6329VHUT+ uses an open-drain, active-low RESET output (Pin 4). It sinks current when asserted and requires an external pullup resistor to VOUT or another appropriate rail. This configuration allows wired-OR reset signaling and compatibility with diverse microprocessor reset inputs.
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stable operation of the MAX6329VHUT+?
The MAX6329VHUT+ requires a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor for stable operation across temperature and load. X7R or X5R dielectrics are recommended; Z5U/Y5V types may require ≥2.2µF below -10°C. This low capacitance requirement simplifies design and reduces cost versus regulators needing larger or specialized capacitors.
How does the MAX6329VHUT+ handle reverse voltage conditions?
The MAX6329VHUT+ includes integrated reverse leakage protection that blocks current flow from OUT to IN when VOUT > VIN. This eliminates the need for external blocking diodes in backup-battery or dual-supply configurations, preventing power loss and ensuring safe operation during supply transitions or faults.
