Product details
Overview
MAX6329ZHUT+ from Maxim Integrated is a 150mA, low-dropout linear voltage regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, preset for +1.8V output and -10% reset threshold (Z variant), housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package. It delivers 25µA quiescent current, 180mV dropout at 100mA, and 100ms minimum reset timeout-designed for power-critical portable systems requiring reliable brownout detection and clean startup sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6329ZHUT+ datasheet, MAX6329ZHUT+ pinout, MAX6329ZHUT+ application, or MAX6329ZHUT+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in battery-powered microprocessor systems, and validated alternative options for supply chain continuity and design flexibility.
Technical Context
The MAX6329ZHUT+ integrates a P-channel MOSFET LDO regulator core with a precision bandgap reference shared by both regulation and reset supervision. Its SET pin enables dual-mode operation: grounded for fixed +1.8V output (±3.0% accuracy), or connected to an external resistor divider for adjustable outputs from 1.23V to 5.0V.
The internal reset circuit monitors VOUT against a -10% threshold (1.62V nominal for 1.8V output), asserts active-low open-drain RESET for ≥100ms after recovery, and includes built-in glitch rejection, thermal shutdown at +160°C with 20°C hysteresis, and reverse leakage protection eliminating need for external blocking diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +1.8V ±3.0% (fixed, SET = GND); ensures stable core logic supply for 1.8V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Dropout Voltage | 180mV at 100mA load; enables operation down to VIN = 1.98V, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems |
| Supply Current | 25µA typical (load-independent); minimizes standby drain in always-on portable devices |
| Reset Threshold | -10% of VOUT (1.62V min); triggers reset before critical undervoltage causes processor corruption |
| Reset Timeout | 100ms minimum; guarantees clock oscillator and memory stabilization before CPU release |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA max (SHDN = low); reduces system sleep current to nanoampere range for long-term battery retention |
| Output Capacitor | 1µF ceramic minimum; supports compact layout with low-ESR stability across -40°C to +85°C |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23-6 (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, exposed pad not present; GND pin serves as primary thermal path-requires soldering to PCB ground plane for full thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V input; reverse leakage protection prevents backfeed when OUT > IN |
| 2 GND | Power and thermal ground | Reference node for all circuits; must connect to large copper area for thermal dissipation and noise control |
| 3 SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pulls regulator into sub-1µA sleep mode; compatible with 0.3×VIN/0.8×VIN logic thresholds |
| 4 RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; requires external pullup; asserts during power-up, brownout, and shutdown exit |
| 5 SET | Feedback reference input | Grounded for +1.8V fixed output; connects to resistor divider for adjustable mode; 1.23V internal reference |
| 6 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 150mA; bypassed with ≥1µF capacitor; short-circuit protected and thermally limited |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated reset supervisor | Eliminates discrete RC network or external supervisor IC-reduces BOM count and board area by 3–5 components |
| Zero reverse leakage | Prevents backup battery discharge through IN pin when main supply fails-no external Schottky diode required |
| Thermal + short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering shutdown at +160°C and 350mA current limit enable robust operation under fault conditions |
| 1.8V fixed output with -10% reset | Optimized for modern ultra-low-voltage SoCs and memory interfaces where tight tolerance and fast recovery are mandatory |
| Sub-1µA shutdown mode | Enables multi-year battery life in IoT sensors and wearables by reducing system sleep current to nanoampere levels |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6328ZHUT+ | Same package and pinout; identical +1.8V output but -5% reset threshold (1.71V) | Suitable where tighter reset window is needed to avoid premature reset during light-load transients | Select MAX6328ZHUT+ if system requires earlier reset assertion before 1.71V; otherwise MAX6329ZHUT+ provides greater noise margin |
| TPS76318QDBVRQ1 | Automotive-grade 1.8V LDO (±2% accuracy) with active-high push-pull RESET; no integrated reset threshold adjustment | Requires external resistor network for reset monitoring; lacks SHDN pin and reverse leakage protection | Choose TPS76318QDBVRQ1 only for AEC-Q100 automotive designs needing extended temperature range; MAX6329ZHUT+ offers superior integration for consumer/portable use |
Compared with MAX6328ZHUT+, the MAX6329ZHUT+ delays reset assertion until VOUT falls to 1.62V, improving immunity to brief line sags; versus TPS76318QDBVRQ1, it eliminates external reset components and supports true zero-current shutdown-critical for battery longevity in portable electronics.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX6329ZHUT+ deliver, and how is it set?
The MAX6329ZHUT+ delivers a fixed +1.8V output with ±3.0% accuracy over temperature and load. This is achieved by connecting the SET pin to GND, which selects the internal feedback resistors calibrated for 1.8V. No external resistors are required-making it ideal for space-constrained designs where simplicity and reliability are paramount. The MAX6329ZHUT+ does not support adjustable output mode unless modified externally, which voids factory calibration.
How does the reset function work on the MAX6329ZHUT+?
The MAX6329ZHUT+ features an integrated -10% reset circuit that monitors its own 1.8V output. When VOUT drops below 1.62V (10% below nominal), the open-drain RESET pin pulls low and remains asserted for a minimum of 100ms after VOUT recovers above threshold. This ensures microprocessors and memory have sufficient time to stabilize before execution resumes. RESET is active-low and requires an external pullup resistor.
Does the MAX6329ZHUT+ include shutdown capability, and what is its current draw?
Yes, the MAX6329ZHUT+ includes an active-low SHDN pin. When pulled low, the regulator enters shutdown mode with total supply current reduced to less than 1µA maximum-verified across temperature and input voltage ranges. This feature enables deep-sleep states in battery-powered devices. During normal operation, SHDN must be tied to IN or driven high via a logic signal compatible with 0.8×VIN threshold.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MAX6329ZHUT+ to maintain regulation?
The MAX6329ZHUT+ maintains regulation as long as the input voltage exceeds the dropout voltage plus the 1.8V output. At 100mA load, its typical dropout is 180mV, so VIN must remain ≥1.98V. At 150mA, dropout rises to ≤360mV per datasheet, requiring VIN ≥2.16V. Below these thresholds, output voltage collapses linearly-enabling precise end-of-battery-life detection without additional circuitry.
Can the MAX6329ZHUT+ be used with ceramic output capacitors, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the MAX6329ZHUT+ is stable with 1µF minimum X7R or X5R ceramic capacitors-verified across -40°C to +85°C. Larger values (e.g., 4.7µF–10µF) improve PSRR and transient response but are not required for stability. Avoid Z5U/Y5V dielectrics below -10°C unless capacitance is increased to ≥2.2µF. The device does not require ESR tuning, simplifying capacitor selection and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
