Product details
Overview
MAX6471TA25AD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 2.5V output voltage, -7.5% reset threshold, 150ms minimum reset timeout, and active-low manual reset (MR) input. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers ±2.0% output accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, and consumes only 82µA quiescent current - ideal for battery-powered portable electronics requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6471TA25AD3+ datasheet, MAX6471TA25AD3+ pinout, MAX6471TA25AD3+ application, or MAX6471TA25AD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its manual reset capability, guaranteed 300mA output under dropout conditions, 55mV dropout at 150mA, integrated thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with compact 8-pin TDFN-EP packaging for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6471TA25AD3+ integrates a precision LDO regulator core with a dedicated reset supervisor using a shared bandgap reference. Its MR input features a 40kΩ internal pullup to VOUT and supports TTL/CMOS logic-level assertion with 1µs minimum pulse width and 120ns glitch rejection.
Reset assertion occurs when VOUT falls below 92.5% of nominal (2.313V at 2.5V output) or when MR is pulled low; RESET remains active for ≥150ms after recovery. The device uses an NMOS pass transistor enabling low dropout and reverse current blocking (0.01µA OUT→IN leakage).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2.0% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core voltage for 2.5V microcontrollers and memory without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power mid-complexity SoCs, RF modules, or sensor subsystems in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 55mV at 150mA load - enables operation down to VIN = 2.55V while maintaining regulation, critical for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as Bluetooth LE peripherals or IoT edge sensors. |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of VOUT (2.313V) - aligns with standard microprocessor supply tolerance requirements and eliminates need for external supervisor IC. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - provides sufficient hold-off time for clock stabilization and processor initialization before release from reset. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA typical - reduces system standby power to nanoampere levels when host controller disables power rail. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6471TA25AD3+ is housed in 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; Exposed paddle (EP) 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 capacitor to GND for stability and noise suppression. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground and thermal pad | Primary return path and heatsink; must connect to large copper area or ground plane to maintain TJ ≤ +150°C. |
| 3 (MR) | Active-low manual reset input | Asserts RESET when pulled low; internal 40kΩ pullup to VOUT eliminates need for external resistor in most cases. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Push-pull configuration; drives µP reset pin directly; asserts during power-up, brownout, or MR activation. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback reference input | Connected to GND for fixed 2.5V output; left unconnected or tied to GND - not used in preset mode. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5V @ 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for transient response and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated manual reset (MR) | Enables system-level reset initiation without external logic - simplifies board design and reduces BOM count in handheld instruments. |
| Reverse current protection | 0.01µA typical OUT→IN leakage prevents battery backfeed - essential for backup-supply architectures and hot-swap applications. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Activates at +180°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload while allowing safe recovery without latch-up. |
| Low-noise LDO core | 75µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves signal integrity in analog front-ends and RF power management circuits. |
| Input undervoltage lockout | 2.25V to 2.47V threshold - prevents erratic regulator behavior during battery ramp-up and ensures clean power-on sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76325DBVR | 250mA output, no MR input, 3.5% output accuracy, 120ms reset timeout | Lacks manual reset functionality; requires external circuitry for test/reset control | Select when MR is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs feature parity |

FAQ
What is the function of the SET pin on the MAX6471TA25AD3+?
The SET pin on the MAX6471TA25AD3+ is configured for fixed-output operation and must be connected to GND to select the preset 2.5V output. Unlike adjustable variants, it is not used for external feedback in this part; leaving it floating or improperly biased may cause regulation instability. MAX6471TA25AD3+ does not support adjustable output voltage.
Does the MAX6471TA25AD3+ support push-pull or open-drain RESET output?
The MAX6471TA25AD3+ features a push-pull RESET output, capable of actively driving both high and low states without requiring an external pullup resistor. This simplifies interface to microcontroller reset inputs and ensures fast, deterministic deassertion timing - critical for meeting processor reset release specifications in the MAX6471TA25AD3+ datasheet.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MAX6471TA25AD3+ to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The MAX6471TA25AD3+ requires a minimum input voltage of 2.658V to maintain 2.5V output regulation at 300mA load, based on its maximum dropout voltage of 158mV (typical 114mV) at that current. Below this VIN, the device enters dropout and VOUT drops linearly with VIN - a key constraint verified in the MAX6471TA25AD3+ electrical characteristics table.
How does the MR input behave when not used in the MAX6471TA25AD3+?
When unused, the MR input on the MAX6471TA25AD3+ should be left unconnected or tied to VOUT, as it features a 40kΩ internal pullup to VOUT. This ensures the MR pin remains high and does not inadvertently assert RESET. No external pullup is required, and connecting MR to GND will force continuous reset assertion - a behavior confirmed in the MAX6471TA25AD3+ pin description section.
Is the MAX6471TA25AD3+ compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the MAX6471TA25AD3+ is offered in RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free packaging. It supports JEDEC J-STD-020C reflow profiles with peak temperature up to +260°C. The TDFN-EP package requires preheating and prohibits hand or wave soldering - all thermal requirements are explicitly defined in the MAX6471TA25AD3+ absolute maximum ratings and packaging notes.
