Product details
Overview
MAX6470TA28AD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 2.8V output voltage, ±2.0% accuracy over temperature, 82µA quiescent current, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It features active-low push-pull RESET, shutdown control (0.1µA standby), and operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input - ideal for battery-powered portable electronics requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6470TA28AD3+T datasheet, MAX6470TA28AD3+T pinout, MAX6470TA28AD3+T application, or MAX6470TA28AD3+T equivalent, this device delivers verified 2.8V regulation with integrated reset supervision, low dropout (65mV at 150mA), thermal/short-circuit protection, and TDFN-EP package compatibility for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6470TA28AD3+T implements a single-channel LDO regulator core with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier, paired with a dedicated reset supervisor using the same reference to monitor VOUT against -7.5% or -12.5% thresholds. Its shutdown input (SHDN) disables the pass transistor and reference, reducing supply current to 0.1µA while retaining reset functionality during battery backup scenarios.
It uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP package with exposed paddle tied to GND, supporting thermal dissipation up to 1951mW at +70°C. The device supports preset 2.8V output via internal resistor divider (SET = GND), and includes reverse current protection (0.01µA OUT→IN leakage) and 450mA current limiting - all specified across -40°C to +85°C.
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 microcontrollers in portable systems. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power mid-complexity SoCs, RF modules, or sensor subsystems without external boost. |
| Dropout Voltage | 65mV at 150mA load - enables operation down to VIN = 2.865V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery longevity. |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - minimizes standby drain in always-on IoT nodes or sleep-mode peripherals. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - meets processor boot stabilization requirements for ARM Cortex-M and similar MCUs. |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of VOUT (2.61V) - asserts RESET before supply falls below microprocessor tolerance, preventing erratic execution. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA typical - allows multi-year battery life in maintenance-free remote sensors when inactive. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with USB, single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), and 3.3V/5V system rails. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6470TA28AD3+T is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad (EP) internally connected to GND. The EP must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for thermal management and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator Input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V input; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and noise rejection. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground / Thermal Sink | Primary return path and thermal conduction node; must connect to large copper area or ground plane. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown Control | Pulled high to VIN for normal operation; pulling low disables regulator and reduces IQ to 0.1µA. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-Low Push-Pull Reset Output | Asserts low during power-up, brownout, or SHDN activation; holds low for ≥150ms after VOUT stabilizes. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback Reference Input | Connected to GND for fixed 2.8V output; open or floating not allowed - ties internal divider to select VOUT. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers 2.8V @ up to 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for transient response and stability. |
| 7,8 (NC) | No Connect | Not internally bonded; left unconnected per datasheet - no routing or termination required. |
| EP | Exposed Thermal Pad | Internally tied to GND; must be soldered to PCB ground plane to achieve rated power dissipation (1951mW). |
