Product details
Overview
MAX6471TA18BD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 1.8V output, -12.5% reset threshold, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It features 82µA quiescent current, 55mV dropout at 150mA, and operates from -40°C to +85°C. Designed for battery-powered portable equipment including Bluetooth modules and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6471TA18BD3+T datasheet, MAX6471TA18BD3+T pinout, MAX6471TA18BD3+T application, or MAX6471TA18BD3+T equivalent, this device delivers verified reset supervision, shutdown control, manual reset input, and thermal/short-circuit protection in an 8-pin TDFN-EP package - critical for space-constrained, low-power embedded systems requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout immunity.
Technical Context
The MAX6471TA18BD3+T integrates a precision LDO regulator core with a fully independent reset supervisor using the same bandgap reference. Its manual reset (MR) input allows external assertion of RESET while VOUT remains within specification, with internal 40kΩ pullup to VOUT and 200ns MR-to-RESET delay.
This variant belongs to the MAX6471–MAX6474/MAX6479–MAX6482 subgroup, confirming active-low MR functionality, push-pull or open-drain RESET output configuration, and absence of remote sense (FB) or shutdown (SHDN) pins - distinguishing it from MAX6469/MAX6470 or MAX6475/MAX6476 variants.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6471TA18BD3+T uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed paddle thermally connected to GND. Pin 1 is IN; Pin 2 is GND; Pin 3 is MR; Pin 4 is RESET; Pin 5 is SET; Pin 6 is OUT; Pins 7–8 are NC; EP is internally tied to GND and must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V supply; requires 0.1µF bypass to GND for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground / thermal pad | Primary return path and heatsink; must connect to large copper area for thermal dissipation. |
| 3 (MR) | Active-low manual reset input | Pulls RESET low when asserted; internal 40kΩ pullup to VOUT eliminates external resistor. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Push-pull configuration; asserts during power-up, brownout, or MR activation for ≥150ms. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback reference input | Connected to GND for fixed 1.8V mode; unused in this variant - no external divider required. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V @ up to 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated manual reset (MR) | Enables system-level reset initiation without processor involvement - supports field service and test modes. |
| 150ms reset timeout | Guarantees sufficient hold time for clock oscillator stabilization and memory initialization before µP release. |
| 82µA supply current | Reduces battery load by >95% versus legacy supervisors + LDO solutions - extends shelf life in IoT endpoints. |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | Shuts down pass transistor at 180°C junction temp with 20°C hysteresis - prevents damage during overload or poor layout. |
| Reverse current blocking | 0.01µA typical OUT-to-IN leakage - prevents backup capacitor or battery discharge when main supply is removed. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76318QDBVRQ1 | 300mA LDO with 1.8V fixed output and active-low RESET, but no MR input; 120ms reset timeout; 120µA IQ. | Lacks manual reset capability - unsuitable where field-initiated reset is required. | Select when MR is unnecessary and AEC-Q100 qualification is mandatory (automotive grade). |
| ADP196ACBZ-1.8-R7 | 300mA LDO with 1.8V output and RESET, but no MR or programmable timeout; 100µA IQ; only 100ms timeout. | Cannot meet 150ms minimum timeout requirement; no manual reset support. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where shorter reset hold time is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage and tolerance of MAX6471TA18BD3+T?
The MAX6471TA18BD3+T delivers a fixed 1.8V output with ±2.0% accuracy over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This tolerance ensures compatibility with 1.8V I/O standards and core supplies for modern microcontrollers and RF ICs without requiring external trimming.
Does MAX6471TA18BD3+T include a manual reset (MR) input, and how is it used?
Yes, MAX6471TA18BD3+T includes an active-low manual reset (MR) input on Pin 3. Pulling MR low asserts the RESET output regardless of VOUT status, and RESET remains active for the full 150ms timeout after MR returns high. The internal 40kΩ pullup to VOUT eliminates external components, enabling simple switch-based reset implementation.
What is the reset timeout period for MAX6471TA18BD3+T, and is it configurable?
The MAX6471TA18BD3+T has a fixed 150ms minimum reset timeout period, indicated by the 'D3' suffix in the part number. This value is factory-programmed and not user-configurable; it meets common microprocessor boot stabilization requirements and cannot be adjusted via external components or pins.
What package type and thermal characteristics does MAX6471TA18BD3+T use?
MAX6471TA18BD3+T uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed paddle. Its thermal resistance θJA is 24.4°C/W, supporting up to 1951mW continuous power dissipation at +70°C ambient. The EP must be soldered to PCB ground for effective heat transfer and reliability.
How does MAX6471TA18BD3+T handle reverse current flow when the input supply is disconnected?
MAX6471TA18BD3+T blocks reverse current from OUT to IN with only 0.01µA typical leakage, preventing backup capacitors or secondary batteries from discharging into a removed primary source. This behavior is enabled by internal circuitry that disables the pass transistor when VOUT > VIN, preserving energy in battery-backed systems.
