Product details
Overview
MAX6349WHUT+T 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 (VTH = 1.50V to 1.65V), featuring 25µA quiescent current, 180mV dropout at 100mA, and open-drain active-low RESET output - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6349WHUT+T datasheet, MAX6349WHUT+T pinout, MAX6349WHUT+T application, or MAX6349WHUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed +1.8V output, SOT23-6 package, manual reset (MR) input, thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6349WHUT+T integrates a P-channel MOSFET LDO regulator core with an independent reset supervisor using a shared 1.23V reference. Its regulator operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input and delivers up to 150mA with ±3.0% output accuracy over temperature and load.
The reset circuit monitors VOUT against a -10% tolerance threshold (1.50V–1.65V for +1.8V output), asserts RESET for ≥100ms after recovery, and supports external manual reset via MR - a logic-low input with 20kΩ internal pullup to OUT and 500ns propagation delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +1.8V fixed (±3.0% over operating range), set by internal feedback; eliminates external resistor network. |
| Reset Threshold | -10% of VOUT → 1.50V to 1.65V; ensures robust brownout detection before microprocessor operation resumes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180mV at 100mA load; enables operation down to VIN = 1.98V, extending usable battery life in Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 25µA (independent of load); critical for multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and handheld instruments. |
| RESET Timeout | 100ms minimum assertion time; guarantees stable VOUT and clock oscillator settling before processor release. |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 0.2×VOUT VIL and 0.8×VOUT VIH; compatible with standard CMOS/TTL drivers without level-shifting. |
| Output Capacitor | 1µF minimum ceramic; enables compact, low-ESR stabilization without tantalum or large electrolytics. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown (160°C trip, 20°C hysteresis), short-circuit current limit (350mA typ), and zero reverse leakage. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6349WHUT+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with GND serving as both electrical ground and thermal heatsink - requires soldering to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V supply; reverse leakage protection prevents backfeed when VOUT > VIN. |
| 2 GND | Ground / thermal pad | Reference node for all circuits; must be connected to large copper area for thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
| 3 MR | Manual reset input | Active-low signal (internal 20kΩ pullup to OUT); initiates reset regardless of VOUT status; 1µs minimum pulse width. |
| 4 RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V max VOL; requires external pullup; asserts during power-up, brownout, or MR activation. |
| 5 SET | Feedback reference select | Connected to GND for +1.8V fixed mode; floating or misconnected disables regulation; <50kΩ impedance required for preset operation. |
| 6 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 150mA at +1.8V; bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; reverse leakage protected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated manual reset (MR) | Enables operator- or system-initiated reset without external components; eliminates need for discrete pushbutton debounce circuitry. |
| +1.8V fixed output with ±3% accuracy | Meets core voltage requirements of modern low-power microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+, RISC-V SoCs) without trimming. |
| 100ms min reset timeout | Guarantees sufficient hold-off time for clock oscillators and memory initialization before CPU execution begins. |
| Zero reverse leakage current | Allows safe backup-battery operation (e.g., coin cell on VOUT) without diode drop or power loss from main supply. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Enables robust operation in unattended embedded systems; automatic recovery after fault removal avoids latch-up or burnout. |
| 1µF ceramic output capacitor support | Reduces BOM count and board area vs. legacy regulators requiring ≥10µF tantalum; improves reliability and ESR stability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6329WHUT+T | No MR input; includes SHDN (active-low shutdown) instead; same +1.8V/-10% reset spec and SOT23-6 package. | Better suited for systems requiring ultra-low standby current (<1µA) rather than manual reset capability. | Select MAX6329WHUT+T if shutdown control is prioritized over reset initiation; not pin-compatible due to SHDN/MR pin swap. |
| TPS76318DBVR | 150mA LDO only (no reset circuit); 22µA IQ; 250mV dropout at 150mA; requires external supervisor (e.g., TPS3809). | Higher total solution size and BOM count; lacks integrated MR and reset timeout logic. | Choose only if reset functionality is implemented separately; MAX6349WHUT+T reduces component count and improves timing coordination. |
Compared with MAX6329WHUT+T, MAX6349WHUT+T trades shutdown control for manual reset - enabling field-serviceable reboots without power cycling. Against TPS76318DBVR, it integrates reset supervision and timing, eliminating external components and inter-device propagation delays critical in compact portable designs.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX6349WHUT+T provide, and how is it configured?
The MAX6349WHUT+T provides a fixed +1.8V output voltage. This is achieved by connecting the SET pin to GND, which selects the internal resistor divider. The device is factory-trimmed for ±3.0% accuracy across temperature and load. No external resistors are needed - unlike adjustable variants, the WH suffix denotes the +1.8V/-10% reset version.
Does the MAX6349WHUT+T include a manual reset input, and what are its electrical specifications?
Yes, the MAX6349WHUT+T includes an active-low Manual Reset (MR) input on Pin 3. It features a 20kΩ internal pullup to OUT, accepts logic-low pulses as short as 1µs, and has 500ns propagation delay from MR low-to-high transition to RESET deassertion. VIL is 0.2×VOUT and VIH is 0.8×VOUT, ensuring direct compatibility with standard CMOS outputs.
What is the reset timeout duration of the MAX6349WHUT+T, and how is it guaranteed?
The MAX6349WHUT+T guarantees a minimum reset timeout of 100ms after VOUT rises above the reset threshold (1.50V–1.65V). This is internally generated and independent of external components. The timeout remains active during MR assertion and persists for ≥100ms after MR returns high or VOUT recovers - ensuring full system stabilization before processor release.
Can the MAX6349WHUT+T operate with a 1µF ceramic output capacitor, and why is this significant?
Yes, the MAX6349WHUT+T is fully stable with a 1µF ceramic output capacitor - verified across temperature and load. This eliminates the need for larger, less reliable tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It reduces board area, cost, and failure risk while improving transient response and PSRR, especially critical in portable and battery-operated designs.
How does the MAX6349WHUT+T handle reverse voltage conditions between IN and OUT?
The MAX6349WHUT+T incorporates reverse leakage protection that actively disables the pass transistor when VOUT exceeds VIN. This results in zero reverse current flow (≤1.5nA typical), allowing safe operation with auxiliary supplies (e.g., backup coin cell on OUT) without external blocking diodes - preserving efficiency and simplifying power architecture.
