Product details
Overview
MAX6471TA18BD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 1.8V output voltage, -7.5% reset threshold accuracy, and 150ms (min) active-low reset timeout. It features manual reset input (MR), 82µA quiescent current, and operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input. Designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6471TA18BD3+ datasheet, MAX6471TA18BD3+ pinout, MAX6471TA18BD3+ application, or MAX6471TA18BD3+ equivalent, this device delivers verified 1.8V regulation with integrated MR-triggered reset supervision, low-noise operation, thermal/short-circuit protection, and shutdown capability - critical for handheld instruments, Bluetooth modules, and USB peripherals where supply stability and system initialization integrity are essential.
Technical Context
The MAX6471TA18BD3+ integrates a precision LDO regulator core with a dedicated reset supervisor sharing the same reference. Its MR input enables external assertion of RESET while VOUT remains within ±2.0% tolerance, with internal 40kΩ pullup to VOUT. The reset circuit guarantees assertion during VIN undervoltage lockout (2.25V–2.47V), VOUT dropout, and MR low transitions - all followed by a fixed 150ms minimum timeout before deassertion.
This variant belongs to the MAX6471–MAX6474/MAX6479–MAX6482 subgroup, confirming presence of MR pin (Pin 3), absence of SHDN, and use of SET pin (Pin 5) for fixed/adjustable mode selection. It uses the standard 8-pin TDFN-EP package with exposed paddle, supporting thermal dissipation up to 1951mW at +70°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2.0% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core logic supply for 1.8V microcontrollers and memory interfaces. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power mid-complexity SoCs or multiple peripheral ICs in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 61mV at 150mA, 114mV at 300mA (VOUT = 1.8V) - enables operation down to ~1.91V input at full load, extending battery life. |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - minimizes standby drain in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-on-event circuits. |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of nominal VOUT (i.e., 1.665V) - triggers RESET before processor supply violates JEDEC JESD8-12B specification limits. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for clock stabilization and firmware initialization on cold start or brownout recovery. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), dual-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2V), and USB 5V bus inputs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6471TA18BD3+ is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height) package with exposed thermal pad (EP) internally connected to GND. The EP must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V unregulated supply; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and noise suppression. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal path | Primary return for regulator and reset circuitry; also serves as heatsink - must connect to large copper area or ground plane. |
| 3 (MR) | Active-low manual reset input | Pulls RESET low when asserted; internal 40kΩ pullup to VOUT eliminates need for external resistor unless noise immunity required. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Push-pull configuration; drives low during power-up, brownout, or MR assertion, then holds low for ≥150ms after recovery. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback select node | Connected to GND for fixed 1.8V output; open or externally biased for adjustable mode - determines internal feedback path. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V ±2.0% at up to 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for transient response and stability. |
| 7–8 / EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally tied to GND; mandatory connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated manual reset (MR) | Enables system-level reset initiation without external supervisor IC - reduces BOM count and board space in compact designs. |
| 150ms reset timeout | Guarantees sufficient delay for oscillator startup and register initialization in 1.8V microcontrollers before release from reset. |
| 82µA quiescent current | Extends shelf life and runtime in battery-backed applications such as medical sensors or remote IoT nodes operating in deep sleep. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Shuts down pass transistor at 180°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Reverse current blocking | 0.01µA typical OUT-to-IN leakage - avoids backfeeding into depleted batteries or unintended powering of upstream sources during hot-swap events. |
Applications
| Handheld Instruments | Bluetooth Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS79918YZTT | 1.8V fixed, 200mA, no MR pin, 300ms reset timeout, 1.2µA IQ in shutdown | Lacks manual reset functionality; requires external MR circuitry for user-triggered reset | Choose when ultra-low shutdown current outweighs need for integrated MR and higher current is not required. |
| ADP162AUJZ-1.8-R7 | 1.8V fixed, 300mA, no reset circuit, 115µA IQ, 120mV dropout @300mA | No built-in reset supervision - necessitates separate supervisor IC (e.g., ADM6315) for power sequencing | Choose when design already includes discrete reset IC or when reset timing is handled by FPGA/ASIC logic. |
Compared with TPS79918YZTT and ADP162AUJZ-1.8-R7, the MAX6471TA18BD3+ uniquely integrates MR-triggered reset supervision with 150ms timeout and 82µA quiescent current in a single 8-pin TDFN, reducing component count and simplifying layout for space-constrained portable systems.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX6471TA18BD3+ over temperature?
The MAX6471TA18BD3+ guarantees ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage Accuracy (Fixed Output Voltage Operation)" for MAX6471–MAX6474 variants. At +25°C, the tighter ±1.1% limit applies, but system-level design must rely on the wider ±2.0% spec for worst-case margining.
Does the MAX6471TA18BD3+ include a shutdown pin?
No, the MAX6471TA18BD3+ does not include a shutdown (SHDN) pin. It belongs to the MAX6471–MAX6474/MAX6479–MAX6482 subgroup, which features Manual Reset (MR) instead of SHDN. Shutdown functionality is absent - power control is achieved only via input voltage removal or external switching on the IN rail.
What is the function of the SET pin on the MAX6471TA18BD3+?
On the MAX6471TA18BD3+, the SET pin selects between fixed and adjustable output modes. When tied to GND, it configures the device for its factory-trimmed 1.8V output. Leaving SET floating or applying external bias enables adjustable operation using an external resistor divider - though for this specific part, fixed 1.8V is the intended use case per ordering suffix "A18".
Can the MAX6471TA18BD3+ drive a 300mA load continuously at 85°C ambient?
Yes, the MAX6471TA18BD3+ guarantees 300mA output current over -40°C to +85°C. However, continuous 300mA operation at +85°C ambient requires proper thermal design: the 8-pin TDFN-EP package has θJA ≈ 41°C/W with adequate PCB copper; power dissipation at 300mA with 3.3V input is ~450mW, resulting in ~110°C junction rise - staying below the +150°C absolute max if ambient is ≤+85°C and thermal pad is fully soldered.
What reset timeout period is implemented in the MAX6471TA18BD3+?
MAX6471TA18BD3+ implements a 150ms minimum reset timeout period, indicated by the "D3" suffix in the part number. This value is guaranteed across temperature and process variation, and the RESET output remains asserted for at least 150ms after VOUT recovers above the -7.5% threshold or after MR returns high.
