Product details
Overview
MAX6470TA30BD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 3.0V output, ±2.0% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, 114mV dropout at 300mA load, and 2.5ms reset timeout. It delivers stable power and reliable reset signaling for battery-powered microprocessor systems requiring low quiescent current (82µA) and shutdown capability (0.1µA).
For engineers reviewing the MAX6470TA30BD3+ datasheet, MAX6470TA30BD3+ pinout, MAX6470TA30BD3+ application, or MAX6470TA30BD3+ equivalent, this device is selected for portable embedded systems where supply stability, precise reset assertion timing, low-power shutdown, and compact 8-pin TDFN-EP packaging are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX6470TA30BD3+ integrates a precision LDO regulator core with a dedicated reset supervisor using a shared voltage reference. Its reset circuit asserts an active-low signal when VOUT drops below −7.5% of nominal (2.775V), with guaranteed 2.5ms minimum timeout after recovery. The regulator operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input and maintains regulation down to 55mV dropout at 150mA.
It features active-low shutdown (SHDN) that disables the pass transistor and reference, reducing supply current to 0.1µA typical. Input reverse-current protection limits OUT-to-IN leakage to 0.01µA typical, preventing battery backfeed during input removal - essential for single-cell Li-ion and alkaline applications.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX6470TA30BD3+?
The MAX6470TA30BD3+ uses a −7.5% reset threshold relative to its nominal 3.0V output, resulting in a trip point of 2.775V. This threshold is factory-trimmed and guaranteed across −40°C to +85°C. The reset output remains asserted until VOUT rises above 2.775V and holds for a minimum 2.5ms timeout period, ensuring reliable microprocessor initialization.
Does MAX6470TA30BD3+ support adjustable output voltage?
No, MAX6470TA30BD3+ is configured for fixed 3.0V output. Its SET pin is internally connected to GND to select the preset voltage; it does not support external resistor-divider adjustment. For adjustable versions, refer to MAX6470UT30BD3+ (SOT23-6) or MAX6477–MAX6484 series with SET pin enabled for external feedback.
What package type is used for MAX6470TA30BD3+?
MAX6470TA30BD3+ is supplied in an 8-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height) with exposed paddle. The EP pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for thermal management and electrical performance. This package offers lower thermal resistance (41°C/W) than SOT23-6 alternatives.
How does MAX6470TA30BD3+ behave during input power removal?
When input power is removed, MAX6470TA30BD3+ asserts RESET immediately and maintains low output current (<40µA) from OUT to GND. Its reverse-current protection limits OUT-to-IN leakage to 0.01µA typical, preventing backfeed into a depleted battery. This behavior enables safe use with supercapacitor or backup battery hold-up circuits.
Is MAX6470TA30BD3+ RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MAX6470TA30BD3+ is manufactured in a lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant package. The "+" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes compliance with JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles (peak 260°C) and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. No lead-containing variants are offered for this ordering code.
