Product details
Overview
MAX6470TA33AD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, preset 3.3V output, ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, 114mV dropout at 300mA load, and 2.5ms minimum reset timeout. It delivers stable power and reliable reset signaling for battery-powered microprocessor systems requiring compact, low-quiescent-current regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6470TA33AD3+ datasheet, MAX6470TA33AD3+ pinout, MAX6470TA33AD3+ application, or MAX6470TA33AD3+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed reset timing behavior, real-world supply current measurements (82µA active / 0.1µA shutdown), and direct alternative part comparisons - all specific to the MAX6470TA33AD3+ TDFN-EP package with 3.3V fixed output and D3 (150ms) reset timeout.
Technical Context
The MAX6470TA33AD3+ integrates a precision LDO regulator core and a dedicated reset supervisor sharing the same reference voltage. Its regulator operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 300mA with guaranteed 450mA current limit, and features thermal shutdown at +180°C with 20°C hysteresis. The reset circuit monitors VOUT against a -7.5% threshold (92.5% of nominal 3.3V = 3.0525V) and asserts active-low RESET for ≥150ms after recovery.
This device uses an active-low SHDN input (0.3×VIN low, 0.7×VIN high) to reduce supply current to 0.1µA (typ), includes reverse current protection (0.01µA OUT→IN leakage), and supports stable operation with ≥3.3µF low-ESR output capacitance. It belongs to the MAX6469–MAX6484 family subset that supports shutdown but not manual reset (MR) or remote sense (FB), confirming its functional grouping with MAX6469/MAX6470/MAX6473–MAX6478/MAX6481–MAX6484.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2.0% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable µP core voltage under full industrial temperature range |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient for mid-power microcontrollers, RF modules, and sensor interfaces |
| Dropout Voltage | 114mV at 300mA - enables operation with only 3.414V input for 3.3V output, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3×alkaline systems |
| Supply Current | 82µA typical (active), 0.1µA typical (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on or sleep-mode portable devices |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of VOUT (92.5% × 3.3V = 3.0525V) - triggers reset before µP supply tolerance violation per JEDEC JESD8-12 |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - meets boot-time requirements for ARM Cortex-M and similar embedded processors |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with USB, Li-ion, Li-poly, and multi-cell alkaline/battery sources |
Pinout & Package
MAX6470TA33AD3+ is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed paddle (EP) internally connected to GND. Thermal performance is optimized by soldering EP to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator Input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V supply; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND for stability |
| 2 (GND) | Ground / Thermal Pad | Primary electrical return and main thermal path; must connect to large copper area or ground plane |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown Control | Pull low to disable regulator (IQ ≤ 0.1µA); pull high to VIN for normal operation |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull configuration; drives low when VOUT < 3.0525V or SHDN low; holds low ≥150ms after recovery |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback Selection Input | Connected to GND for fixed 3.3V output; open or floating not allowed |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers 3.3V/300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND |
| EP | Exposed Thermal Paddle | Internally tied to GND; must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal dissipation and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated µP Reset Supervisor | Eliminates external supervisor IC; guarantees reset assertion during power-up, brownout, and shutdown events |
| Low Dropout Architecture | 114mV dropout at full 300mA load enables use with marginal input sources (e.g., aging batteries) |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 82µA active current minimizes standby drain; 0.1µA shutdown current preserves battery charge for months |
| Reverse Current Protection | 0.01µA typical OUT→IN leakage prevents backfeeding into depleted battery or source during hot-swap |
| Thermal & Short-Circuit Protection | Auto-recovering thermal shutdown at +180°C and 450mA current limit protect against sustained overload faults |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76333QDBVRQ1 | 300mA LDO with 3.3V fixed output and active-low reset; 120mV dropout at 300mA; 120µA IQ; no shutdown pin | Lacks SHDN control - unsuitable where host MCU must force deep sleep; reset timeout fixed at 200ms | Select if shutdown functionality is unnecessary and automotive AEC-Q100 qualification is required |
| NCP302LSN33T1G | 300mA LDO with 3.3V output and reset; 130mV dropout at 300mA; 95µA IQ; includes enable but no reset timeout selection | Reset timeout not user-selectable (fixed 140ms); no thermal shutdown hysteresis spec; only SOT-23-6 package | Select for cost-sensitive designs where 8-pin TDFN footprint is unavailable and 150ms timing precision is non-critical |
Compared with TPS76333QDBVRQ1 and NCP302LSN33T1G, the MAX6470TA33AD3+ uniquely offers selectable 150ms reset timeout, 0.1µA shutdown current, and TDFN thermal performance - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-life-critical portable systems requiring precise reset coordination.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6470TA33AD3+?
The MAX6470TA33AD3+ uses the "A" suffix reset threshold option, corresponding to -7.5% of nominal output voltage. With a fixed 3.3V output, this equals 3.3V × 0.925 = 3.0525V. RESET asserts when VOUT falls below this value and remains asserted for ≥150ms after VOUT rises above it, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Reset Timeout Delay Guide.
Does MAX6470TA33AD3+ support adjustable output voltage?
No, MAX6470TA33AD3+ does not support adjustable output. Its SET pin is internally configured for fixed 3.3V operation and must be connected to GND per the Pin Description table. Adjustable output is only supported by MAX6469–MAX6472 and MAX6477–MAX6480 variants - the MAX6470TA33AD3+ belongs to the fixed-output subgroup without external feedback capability.
What package type and thermal characteristics does MAX6470TA33AD3+ have?
MAX6470TA33AD3+ uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed paddle (EP) internally connected to GND. Its thermal resistance θJC is 41°C/W, and maximum power dissipation at +70°C ambient is 1951mW, derating 24.4mW/°C above that temperature - confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Can MAX6470TA33AD3+ be used with input voltages below 2.5V?
No, MAX6470TA33AD3+ has a specified input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V. Operation below 2.5V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and causes undefined behavior, including failure to regulate or assert RESET correctly. The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates at 2.25V (min), but regulation is not guaranteed below 2.5V per Electrical Characteristics conditions.
Is the RESET output of MAX6470TA33AD3+ push-pull or open-drain?
The MAX6470TA33AD3+ features a push-pull RESET output, as indicated by its "A" suffix in the Ordering Information table and confirmed in the Pin Description: RESET drives actively low and actively high (VOH ≥ 0.8×VOUT when deasserted). This eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor and ensures fast, deterministic release timing - critical for synchronous µP boot sequences.
