Product details
Overview
MAX6469TA28AD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 2.8V output, ±2.0% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, 82µA quiescent current, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It delivers stable power and reliable reset signaling for battery-powered microprocessor systems requiring compact, low-power supply supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6469TA28AD3+T datasheet, MAX6469TA28AD3+T pinout, MAX6469TA28AD3+T application, or MAX6469TA28AD3+T equivalent, this device serves as a single-chip solution combining regulated DC-DC conversion and precise voltage-monitoring reset functionality - critical for portable embedded systems where board space, battery life, and power-up sequencing integrity are constrained.
Technical Context
The MAX6469TA28AD3+T integrates a precision LDO regulator core with a dedicated reset supervisor using a shared bandgap reference. Its regulator operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input and maintains 2.8V output with dropout as low as 137mV at 300mA (VOUT = 2.8V). The reset circuit monitors VOUT against a -7.5% threshold (2.61V) and asserts an active-low push-pull RESET for ≥150ms after recovery.
This variant belongs to the MAX6469–MAX6476 subgroup: it features SHDN (active-low shutdown), no manual reset (MR) pin, and no remote sense (FB) - confirmed by its TA suffix (TDFN-8) and D3 reset timeout code. Pin 3 is SHDN, not MR or FB, and pin 5 is SET (for optional adjustable mode), consistent with MAX6469/MAX6470 pinout configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2.0% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core logic supply for 2.8V I/O microcontrollers. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power mid-complexity MCUs, RF transceivers, or sensor hubs without external pass devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 137mV at 300mA load (VOUT = 2.8V) - enables operation down to VIN = 2.937V, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion or 3× alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - minimizes standby drain; drops to 0.1µA in shutdown, enabling multi-year coin-cell operation in always-on sensors. |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of nominal (2.61V) - aligns with standard µP supply tolerance; prevents premature release during brownout recovery. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - satisfies boot-time requirements for ARM Cortex-M and similar processors needing >100ms stabilization before execution. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with USB, Li-ion, and multi-cell battery inputs without pre-regulation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6469TA28AD3+T is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed paddle (EP) internally connected to GND. Thermal performance is enhanced by soldering EP to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V unregulated supply; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Power and thermal ground | Primary return path and heatsink; must connect to large copper area for thermal dissipation. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulling low disables regulator and reduces supply current to 0.1µA; tie to IN for always-on operation. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; asserts low when VOUT < 2.61V or SHDN is low; holds for ≥150ms post-recovery. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback/adjustment input | Connect to GND for fixed 2.8V output; connect to resistor divider for adjustable mode (1.25V–5.5V). |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.8V @ up to 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for transient response. |
| 7, 8 (NC) | No-connect | Not bonded; left floating per datasheet - no routing or termination required. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally tied to GND; must be soldered to PCB ground plane to achieve specified θJA = 41°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated reset supervisor | Eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC - reduces BOM count and layout area while ensuring synchronized power-up timing. |
| Low 82µA quiescent current | Extends battery life in always-on applications such as Bluetooth LE sensors or wearable health monitors. |
| 150ms reset timeout | Guarantees µP clock and memory initialization complete before release - avoids race conditions in firmware startup. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Shuts down automatically at 180°C junction temperature and limits output to 450mA - enables robust operation in sealed enclosures. |
| Reverse current blocking | 0.01µA typical OUT-to-IN leakage - prevents backup capacitors or batteries from discharging into depleted primary sources. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76328QDBVRQ1 | 200mA output, 120mV dropout at 150mA, no integrated reset - requires external supervisor (e.g., TPS3809). | Lacks monolithic reset function; needs additional footprint and routing for reset generation and timing. | Choose when lower cost and AEC-Q100 qualification are prioritized over integration and board space. |
| NCP302LSQ28T2G | 300mA output, 250mV dropout at 300mA, no reset circuit, no shutdown pin - always-on operation only. | Cannot support controlled power-down sequences or brownout recovery timing; reset must be implemented externally. | Prefer when system-level reset is handled by PMIC or SoC, and ultra-low dropout is not required. |
Compared with TPS76328QDBVRQ1 and NCP302LSQ28T2G, the MAX6469TA28AD3+T uniquely combines 300mA delivery, 137mV dropout, integrated 150ms reset, and 0.1µA shutdown - delivering higher functional density and tighter power sequencing control in space-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX6469TA28AD3+T deliver?
The MAX6469TA28AD3+T delivers a fixed 2.8V output with ±2.0% accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This voltage is factory-trimmed and does not require external resistors; connecting the SET pin to GND activates the preset mode. The device maintains regulation down to 2.937V input (137mV dropout at 300mA), making it suitable for single-cell Li-ion and multi-cell alkaline battery systems.
Does the MAX6469TA28AD3+T include a shutdown function?
Yes, the MAX6469TA28AD3+T includes an active-low SHDN pin (Pin 3) that reduces total supply current to 0.1µA typical when asserted. In shutdown mode, the pass transistor, reference, and control circuitry are disabled. For normal operation, SHDN must be tied to IN or pulled high via a resistor. This feature enables ultra-low-power sleep states in portable devices - critical for extending battery life in always-on sensors and wearables.
What is the reset timeout period for the MAX6469TA28AD3+T?
The MAX6469TA28AD3+T has a 150ms minimum reset timeout period, indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. The RESET output remains low for at least 150ms after VOUT rises above the -7.5% threshold (2.61V), ensuring sufficient time for microprocessor clocks, PLLs, and memory controllers to stabilize before firmware execution begins. This timing is guaranteed over temperature and line/load conditions per the datasheet.
Can the MAX6469TA28AD3+T be used in adjustable-output configurations?
Yes, the MAX6469TA28AD3+T supports adjustable output mode via the SET pin (Pin 5). When disconnected from GND and connected to an external resistor divider between OUT and GND, the output voltage follows VOUT = 1.229V × (1 + R1/R2), enabling outputs from 1.25V to 5.5V. However, the factory-trimmed 2.8V preset remains active only when SET is grounded; no reconfiguration is needed for fixed-voltage use.
What package type is used for the MAX6469TA28AD3+T?
The MAX6469TA28AD3+T uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad (EP), denoted by the "TA" prefix in its ordering code. The EP is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to achieve the specified thermal resistance (θJA = 41°C/W). This package offers superior power dissipation versus SOT23-6 and enables high-density layouts in portable equipment.
