Product details
Overview
MAX6469UT28AD3 from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, delivering a fixed +2.8V output, ±2.7% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, 114mV dropout at 300mA load, and active-low push-pull RESET with 150ms timeout. It serves as primary power and supervision IC for battery-powered microprocessor systems requiring stable voltage and reliable power-on reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6469UT28AD3 datasheet, MAX6469UT28AD3 pinout, MAX6469UT28AD3 application, or MAX6469UT28AD3 equivalent, this device is selected for portable embedded designs where ultra-low quiescent current (82µA), shutdown capability (0.1µA), and integrated reset eliminate external supervisors while meeting tight voltage tolerance and timing requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX6469UT28AD3 integrates a precision LDO regulator core and a fully self-contained reset supervisor sharing the same reference. Its regulator operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 300mA, and maintains ±2.7% output accuracy across temperature and load. The reset circuit monitors VOUT directly and asserts active-low RESET when output falls below −7.5% of nominal (i.e., <2.61V for 2.8V output) for ≥150ms minimum timeout.
This part belongs to the MAX6469–MAX6476 subgroup: it features SHDN input (active-low shutdown), SET pin for adjustable/fixed mode selection, no MR input, and no FB pin-confirming its fixed-output, non-remote-sense, non-manual-reset configuration. Pinout matches SOT23-6 package with IN, GND, SHDN, RESET, SET, and OUT terminals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +2.8V fixed - precisely set by internal resistor divider; no external components required for nominal operation. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2.7% over −40°C to +85°C - ensures microprocessor supply remains within JEDEC-compliant tolerance bands across industrial temperature range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 114mV at 300mA - enables regulation from 2.914V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3-cell alkaline battery systems near end-of-life. |
| Supply Current | 82µA typical - minimizes battery drain in always-on portable devices; drops to 0.1µA in shutdown mode. |
| Reset Threshold | −7.5% of VOUT (2.61V) - guarantees reset assertion before microprocessor supply violates −5% to −10% specification window. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - satisfies boot-time stabilization requirements for clock oscillators and memory initialization in embedded controllers. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports wide battery chemistries including Li-ion, Li-Poly, and multi-cell alkaline without external pre-regulation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6469UT28AD3 is packaged in a 6-pin SOT23-6 surface-mount package with exposed paddle (internally connected to GND). Thermal performance is optimized when the exposed paddle is soldered to a 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 capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground / thermal pad | Primary electrical return and thermal dissipation path; must be connected to large copper area for safe 300mA operation. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulling low disables regulator and reduces supply current to 0.1µA; connect to VIN for normal operation. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts low during power-up, brownout, or shutdown; holds low for ≥150ms after VOUT stabilizes above 2.61V. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback select input | Connected to GND to enable fixed +2.8V output; floating or externally biased for adjustable mode (not used here). |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 300mA at +2.8V; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated microprocessor reset | Eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC; RESET timing and threshold are factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 82µA operating / 0.1µA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on handheld instruments and wireless modules. |
| Low dropout architecture | 55mV @150mA, 114mV @300mA - enables high-efficiency regulation from marginal input sources like aging batteries. |
| Reverse current protection | 0.01µA typ OUT-to-IN leakage - prevents back-powering of source during battery swap or backup-supply scenarios. |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | 180°C thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis; 450mA current limit - ensures robustness under fault conditions without external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76328DBVR | 250mA output, 120mV dropout @250mA, no integrated reset - requires external supervisor (e.g., TPS3809K33). | Lacks monolithic reset function; adds BOM count, layout area, and timing coordination complexity. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs integration benefit and existing design already uses discrete reset IC. |
| ADM6315-28ARTZ-RL | Standalone reset IC only (no LDO); 2.8V threshold, 200ms timeout; requires external LDO (e.g., ADM7172). | Two-chip solution increases total solution size and power path inductance; no shared reference between LDO and reset. | Select when system requires independent reset timing adjustment or separate LDO optimization (e.g., higher PSRR). |
Compared with TPS76328DBVR and ADM6315-28ARTZ-RL, MAX6469UT28AD3 provides true single-chip integration of regulation and reset with matched reference, eliminating inter-component drift and reducing PCB area by >40% in space-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage and tolerance of the MAX6469UT28AD3?
The MAX6469UT28AD3 delivers a fixed +2.8V output with ±2.7% accuracy over the full −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and 1mA–300mA load current. This tolerance is guaranteed by production testing and correlation, ensuring compatibility with microprocessors specifying ±5% supply rails.
Does the MAX6469UT28AD3 include a manual reset input (MR)?
No, the MAX6469UT28AD3 does not include a manual reset input. It belongs to the MAX6469/MAX6470/MAX6473–MAX6478/MAX6481–MAX6484 subgroup, which features SHDN and SET pins but omits MR functionality. Manual reset capability is only present in MAX6471–MAX6474 and MAX6479–MAX6482 variants.
What is the reset timeout period configured for the MAX6469UT28AD3?
The suffix "D3" in MAX6469UT28AD3 specifies a 150ms minimum reset timeout period. This value is factory-programmed and guaranteed across temperature; the RESET output remains asserted for ≥150ms after VOUT rises above the −7.5% threshold (2.61V) during power-up or recovery.
Can the MAX6469UT28AD3 be used with an adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the MAX6469UT28AD3 supports adjustable output via the SET pin. Though shipped configured for +2.8V (SET = GND), connecting SET to an external resistor divider enables outputs from 1.25V to 5.0V using VOUT = 1.229V × (1 + R1/R2). However, doing so invalidates the ±2.7% fixed-voltage accuracy guarantee.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the MAX6469UT28AD3?
The MAX6469UT28AD3 uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package with exposed thermal pad. At TA = +70°C, its continuous power dissipation is 727mW, derating at 9.1mW/°C above that. For reliable 300mA operation, the GND pad must be soldered to a ≥100mm² PCB ground plane to maintain junction temperature below +150°C.
