Product details
Overview
MAX6470TA33AD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA, 3.3V fixed-output low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, 82µA quiescent current, -12.5% reset threshold, and 150ms minimum reset timeout - designed for battery-powered portable equipment requiring stable supply and reliable power-on reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6470TA33AD3+T datasheet, MAX6470TA33AD3+T pinout, MAX6470TA33AD3+T application, or MAX6470TA33AD3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for embedded power management design.
Technical Context
The MAX6470TA33AD3+T integrates an LDO regulator core with ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over -40°C to +85°C and a dedicated reset supervisor using the same internal reference. Its shutdown input (SHDN) reduces supply current to 0.1µA (typ), enabling ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable systems.
It features a push-pull active-low RESET output with 150ms timeout, -12.5% VOUT reset threshold tolerance, and 114mV dropout at 300mA load - optimized for 3.3V logic rails supplied from single-cell Li-ion or 3-cell alkaline sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2.0% over full temperature range - ensures compatibility with 3.3V microcontrollers and peripherals without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power baseband processors, RF transceivers, or sensor subsystems in handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 114mV at 300mA - enables operation down to VIN = 3.414V, supporting single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) or 3×alkaline (3.2–4.5V) inputs. |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - minimizes battery drain during active operation; drops to 0.1µA in shutdown mode. |
| Reset Threshold | -12.5% of nominal VOUT (i.e., 2.8875V for 3.3V output) - provides conservative brownout detection aligned with µP supply tolerance requirements. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - satisfies boot-time stabilization requirements for clock oscillators and memory initialization before processor release. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - accommodates wide battery chemistries and upstream DC-DC stages without external regulation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6470TA33AD3+T is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. The EP is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5–5.5V supply; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground / thermal sink | Primary electrical return and thermal conduction path; must connect to large copper area. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulling low disables regulator and reduces IQ to 0.1µA; connect to VIN for normal operation. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts low during power-up, brownout, or SHDN activation; remains low for ≥150ms after recovery. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback select input | Connected to GND to enable fixed 3.3V output; left floating or pulled high disables regulator. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 300mA at 3.3V; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally tied to GND; mandatory connection to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated µP reset supervisor | Eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC; uses shared reference for tight tracking between VOUT and reset threshold. |
| Low dropout at full load | 114mV at 300mA enables >96% efficiency at 3.3V output from 3.45V input - critical for battery runtime extension. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 82µA operating / 0.1µA shutdown - extends shelf life and standby time in always-on portable instruments. |
| Reverse current protection | 0.01µA typ OUT-to-IN leakage prevents backfeeding when external voltage appears at OUT (e.g., backup cap). |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | Auto-shutdown at 180°C junction temp with 20°C hysteresis; 450mA current limit protects against sustained overload. |
Applications
| Handheld Instruments | PCMCIA/USB Devices |
|---|---|

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, 3.3V fixed, 120mV dropout @300mA, 85µA IQ, open-drain RESET, 200ms timeout | Lacks SHDN pin; RESET is open-drain only - requires external pull-up for µP interface | Choose when system already includes pull-up on RESET line and shutdown is managed externally. |
| NCP1117ST33T3G | 1A, 3.3V fixed, 1.2V dropout @800mA, 6mA IQ, no integrated reset or shutdown | Higher current but no reset function - requires separate supervisor (e.g., MCP102) and external enable logic | Choose only if higher output current is mandatory and board area permits discrete reset IC + enable circuitry. |
Compared with TPS76333QDBVRQ1 and NCP1117ST33T3G, MAX6470TA33AD3+T uniquely combines 300mA capability, 82µA quiescent current, active-low push-pull RESET, and SHDN in a single 3×3mm TDFN - reducing BOM count and PCB footprint while enabling lowest-system-power sleep states.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6470TA33AD3+T?
The MAX6470TA33AD3+T has a 150ms minimum reset timeout period, as indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This value is guaranteed across -40°C to +85°C and ensures sufficient hold-off time for microprocessor clock stabilization and memory initialization before release from reset.
Does MAX6470TA33AD3+T support adjustable output voltage?
No, MAX6470TA33AD3+T is configured for fixed 3.3V output. Its SET pin must be connected to GND to enable this preset mode. Unlike variants such as MAX6470UT33AD3+T (SOT23), the TA suffix denotes TDFN packaging and does not alter the fixed-output functionality of this specific variant.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MAX6470TA33AD3+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MAX6470TA33AD3+T is +7V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 5.5V per the Electrical Characteristics table. Operation above 5.5V risks exceeding safe power dissipation limits and may trigger thermal shutdown under load.
How does the shutdown function behave in MAX6470TA33AD3+T?
When SHDN is pulled low, MAX6470TA33AD3+T disables the pass transistor, reference, and control circuitry, reducing total supply current to 0.1µA (typ). The RESET output remains asserted low during shutdown and deasserts only after VIN rises above UVLO and VOUT stabilizes above the -12.5% threshold.
Is MAX6470TA33AD3+T compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, MAX6470TA33AD3+T is offered in RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free packaging. The "+T" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free construction, qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020C reflow profiles with peak temperature up to +260°C - matching standard lead-free assembly requirements.
