Product details
Overview
MAX6469UT285BD3 from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 2.85V output, -7.5% reset threshold, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It delivers ±2.0% output accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, consumes only 82µA quiescent current, and features active-low push-pull RESET output. It is designed for power management in battery-powered portable electronics requiring reliable supply monitoring and fast startup.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6469UT285BD3 datasheet, MAX6469UT285BD3 pinout, MAX6469UT285BD3 application, or MAX6469UT285BD3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.85V fixed output, 150ms reset timeout, SOT23-6 package, shutdown capability (0.1µA), and dropout voltage of 137mV at 300mA - all critical for compact, low-power embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6469UT285BD3 integrates a precision LDO regulator core with a dedicated reset supervisor sharing the same internal reference. Its regulator operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input and maintains regulation down to 55mV dropout at 150mA load. The reset circuit monitors VOUT directly and asserts active-low RESET when output falls below 92.5% of nominal (i.e., 2.636V at 2.85V), holding it asserted for ≥150ms after recovery.
This device belongs to the MAX6469–MAX6476 subgroup with SOT23-6 packaging, SET pin for optional adjustability, and no manual reset (MR) or remote sense (FB) pins. It includes undervoltage lockout (2.47V typ), thermal shutdown (+180°C), short-circuit protection, and reverse current blocking (0.01µA OUT→IN leakage).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85V ±2.0% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core logic supply for 2.8V–3.0V microcontrollers. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power mid-complexity SoCs, RF transceivers, or sensor hubs without external pass devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 137mV at 300mA load - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or triple-alkaline (4.5V) sources with margin. |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - extends battery life in always-on standby modes (e.g., Bluetooth LE beacon wake-up circuits). |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of VOUT (2.636V) - matches standard µP supply tolerance requirements and avoids false resets during transient load steps. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - provides adequate stabilization time for clock oscillators and memory initialization before processor release. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA typical - reduces system static power to nanoampere levels during deep sleep, enabling multi-year coin-cell operation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6469UT285BD3 is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package with exposed paddle (internally connected to GND). Thermal performance is optimized by soldering the EP pad to a large PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V supply; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and noise rejection. |
| 2 (GND) | Power and thermal ground | Primary return path and heatsink; must connect to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and EMI control. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulling low disables regulator and reduces supply current to 0.1µA; tie to IN for normal operation. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; asserts low during power-up, brownout, or shutdown; no external pull-up needed. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback configuration pin | Connected to GND for fixed 2.85V output; left floating or tied to divider for adjustable mode (not used in this variant). |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.85V at up to 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated reset supervisor | Eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC - reduces BOM count and board area in space-constrained designs. |
| Low dropout voltage | 55mV at 150mA enables efficient regulation from weak or aging batteries without premature cutoff. |
| Reverse current protection | 0.01µA max OUT→IN leakage prevents backup capacitors or batteries from discharging into depleted main supplies. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering shutdown at +180°C and 450mA current limit ensure robustness under fault conditions. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 82µA operation + 0.1µA shutdown supports >10-year battery life in IoT endpoint applications. |

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 | 2.8V fixed output, 150mA max, no integrated reset, requires external supervisor | Lacks built-in reset functionality - increases component count and design complexity | Select only if reset timing is managed externally and lower current suffices |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX6469UT285BD3 over temperature?
The MAX6469UT285BD3 guarantees ±2.0% output voltage accuracy across the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This specification applies to fixed-output operation with the SET pin grounded, and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage Accuracy (Fixed Output Voltage Operation)" for the MAX6469–MAX6476 subgroup. At +25°C, tighter ±1.3% tolerance is typical.
Does the MAX6469UT285BD3 support manual reset (MR) functionality?
No, the MAX6469UT285BD3 does not include a manual reset (MR) input. It belongs to the MAX6469/MAX6470/MAX6473–MAX6478/MAX6481–MAX6484 subgroup, which lacks the MR pin. Manual reset is only available on MAX6471–MAX6474 and MAX6479–MAX6482 variants. The MAX6469UT285BD3 relies solely on VOUT monitoring and SHDN assertion for reset initiation.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MAX6469UT285BD3 to maintain regulation at 300mA load?
At 300mA load, the MAX6469UT285BD3 requires a minimum input voltage of 2.987V to maintain regulation - calculated as VOUT + ΔVDO = 2.85V + 0.137V. This value is derived from the specified 137mV dropout voltage at 300mA for VOUT = +2.8V (interpolated per datasheet Table on p.3), and is validated by the device's guaranteed 300mA output current specification under VIN ≥ 2.5V.
Can the MAX6469UT285BD3 be used with an external NPN transistor for higher current applications?
No, the MAX6469UT285BD3 does not support remote feedback or external pass transistor configurations. It uses the SET pin for optional adjustability but lacks the dedicated FB (feedback) pin found only on MAX6475/MAX6476/MAX6483/MAX6484 variants. Therefore, MAX6469UT285BD3 is limited to its native 300mA output capability and cannot be extended via external transistors.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the MAX6469UT285BD3?
The MAX6469UT285BD3 is supplied in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package with exposed paddle (EP), internally connected to GND. Its thermal resistance is θJC = 110°C/W. With 727mW maximum power dissipation at TA = +70°C and 9.1mW/°C derating above that, proper PCB layout - including direct connection of the EP pad to a large ground plane - is essential to maintain junction temperature below +150°C under full 300mA load.
