Product details
Overview
MAX6469TA30BD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a 3.0V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, 82µA quiescent current, 114mV dropout at full load, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It features active-low push-pull RESET, shutdown control (0.1µA), and operates across -40°C to +85°C - designed for battery-powered portable systems requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6469TA30BD3+T datasheet, MAX6469TA30BD3+T pinout, MAX6469TA30BD3+T application, or MAX6469TA30BD3+T equivalent, this device delivers verified fixed-output LDO regulation with integrated supervisor functionality - critical for handheld instruments, USB peripherals, Bluetooth modules, and notebook subsystems where supply stability and deterministic reset timing are mandatory.
Technical Context
The MAX6469TA30BD3+T integrates a precision bandgap-referenced LDO core and a dedicated reset supervisor sharing the same voltage reference. Its regulator uses a PMOS pass device enabling low dropout (55mV @ 150mA, 114mV @ 300mA) and reverse current blocking (0.01µA OUT→IN leakage). The reset circuit monitors VOUT against a -7.5% threshold (suffix 'B') and asserts active-low RESET for ≥150ms after recovery (suffix 'D3').
This variant belongs to the MAX6469–MAX6470 subgroup: it includes SHDN (pin 3), lacks MR, and uses SET (pin 5) for fixed-output selection (tied to GND). It does not support manual reset or remote sense - confirmed by pin function mapping and ordering guide constraints for TA-suffix parts in TDFN-EP package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2.7% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core logic supply for 3.3V-tolerant microcontrollers. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power baseband processors, RF transceivers, or sensor hubs without external boost. |
| Dropout Voltage | 114mV at 300mA - enables operation down to VIN = 3.114V, 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 mode for ultra-low-power sleep states. |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of VOUT (2.775V nominal) - triggers RESET before µP supply violation, meeting JEDEC JESD8-12A tolerance requirements. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - provides sufficient hold-off for oscillator stabilization and memory initialization before release. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with wide-input sources including USB, DC-DC pre-regulators, and multi-cell batteries. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6469TA30BD3+T is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad (EP) internally connected to GND. Pin 1 is IN; Pin 2 is GND; Pin 3 is SHDN; Pin 4 is RESET; Pin 5 is SET; Pin 6 is OUT; Pins 7–8 are NC (no internal connection); EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator input supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 2 (GND) | Power and thermal reference | Primary ground return; also serves as heatsink - must connect to large copper area or internal ground plane. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulling low disables regulator and reduces supply current to ≤1µA; tied to VIN for normal operation. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts low during power-up, brownout, or SHDN activation; remains low ≥150ms after recovery. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback configuration selector | Connected to GND to enable preset 3.0V output; left floating or driven externally only in adjustable variants. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 300mA at 3.0V; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability. |
| 7–8 (NC) | No internal connection | Not bonded; electrically isolated - no routing or termination required. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally tied to GND; must be soldered to PCB ground pour to achieve θJA ≤ 41°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated reset supervisor | Eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC - reduces BOM count and layout area while guaranteeing synchronized power-good signaling. |
| Low dropout with PMOS pass device | Enables high-efficiency regulation from marginal input sources (e.g., aging alkaline cells or Li-ion at end-of-discharge). |
| Reverse current protection | 0.01µA typical OUT→IN leakage prevents backfeeding into primary battery when backup source is present. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering shutdown at +180°C junction temperature and 450mA current limit - ensures robustness under fault conditions. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 82µA operating / 0.1µA shutdown - extends shelf life and operational runtime in always-on IoT edge nodes and wearables. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76330QDBVRQ1 | 300mA LDO with 120mV dropout at 300mA; reset threshold -10% (fixed); 200ms timeout; no SHDN pin. | Lacks shutdown control; reset accuracy looser (±3% vs ±2.7%); automotive-qualified but higher IQ (110µA). | Choose if AEC-Q100 qualification is required and shutdown is managed externally. |
| NCP1117ST30T3G | 800mA LDO with 1.2V dropout at 300mA; no integrated reset; requires external supervisor (e.g., MAX6315). | Higher current capability but larger solution size and higher cost due to dual-IC implementation. | Choose only if >300mA load or adjustable output is needed - otherwise adds unnecessary complexity. |
Compared with TPS76330QDBVRQ1 and NCP1117ST30T3G, MAX6469TA30BD3+T uniquely combines precise ±2.7% output accuracy, 0.1µA shutdown, and factory-configured 150ms reset timeout in a single 3×3mm TDFN package - minimizing footprint and validation effort for portable designs.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of MAX6469TA30BD3+T over temperature?
The MAX6469TA30BD3+T guarantees ±2.7% output voltage accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for fixed-output operation (MAX6469–MAX6476 series). This tolerance applies to the 3.0V nominal output set by the '30' suffix and is measured with 1mA ≤ IOUT ≤ 300mA. At +25°C, the tighter ±1.3% typical accuracy is observed.
Does MAX6469TA30BD3+T support manual reset (MR) functionality?
No, MAX6469TA30BD3+T does not support manual reset. Its pinout (IN, GND, SHDN, RESET, SET, OUT) and ordering code structure confirm it belongs to the MAX6469/MAX6470 subgroup, which implements shutdown control instead of MR. Manual reset is only available on MAX6471–MAX6474 and MAX6479–MAX6482 variants, identifiable by different pin 3 assignments and ordering suffixes.
What is the purpose of the SET pin on MAX6469TA30BD3+T?
On MAX6469TA30BD3+T, the SET pin (pin 5) is used exclusively to select fixed-output mode: tying SET to GND activates the internal resistor divider that sets the output to 3.0V. It is not used for adjustable operation - that capability is reserved for MAX6469–MAX6472/MAX6477–MAX6480 variants with different internal feedback architecture and ordering codes.
Can MAX6469TA30BD3+T be used with input voltages below 2.5V?
No, MAX6469TA30BD3+T has a minimum input voltage of 2.5V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 2.5V risks undervoltage lockout (VUVLO = 2.25V min), causing regulator disable and RESET assertion. For sub-2.5V inputs, consider alternative LDOs such as the MAX1725 or TPS780xx series.
Is the exposed pad (EP) on MAX6469TA30BD3+T electrically connected?
Yes, the exposed pad (EP) on MAX6469TA30BD3+T is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. It serves as the primary thermal path - not an electrical signal - and omission causes thermal resistance to rise from 41°C/W to >100°C/W, risking thermal shutdown under 300mA load at elevated ambient temperatures.
