Product details
Overview
The MAX6471TA25AD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, preset 2.5V output, -7.5% reset threshold, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It features active-low manual reset (MR) input, 82µA quiescent current, and operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input across -40°C to +85°C. Designed for battery-powered portable systems requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6471TA25AD3+T datasheet, MAX6471TA25AD3+T pinout, MAX6471TA25AD3+T application, or MAX6471TA25AD3+T equivalent, this device delivers verified 2.5V regulation with integrated supervisor functionality - eliminating external reset ICs in space-constrained handheld instruments, USB peripherals, and wireless modules where supply stability and deterministic reset timing are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX6471TA25AD3+T implements a dual-function LDO core with internal reference and comparator-based reset supervision sharing the same voltage reference. Its MR input asserts RESET while pulled low and sustains assertion for the full 150ms timeout after release, independent of VOUT status - enabling controlled system resets during operation.
This variant belongs to the MAX6471–MAX6474/MAX6479–MAX6482 subgroup, confirming presence of MR pin (Pin 3), absence of SHDN, and fixed-output configuration via SET-to-GND connection. The -7.5% reset threshold (A-suffix) and D3 timeout (150ms min) are factory-trimmed and guaranteed over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5V fixed, ±2.0% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core logic supply for 2.5V microcontrollers and memory interfaces. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - supports moderate-power SoCs, RF transceivers, and sensor hubs without external pass devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 114mV at 300mA load - enables operation down to VIN = 2.614V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery systems near end-of-life. |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as Bluetooth LE peripherals and smart sensors. |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of nominal VOUT (2.3125V min) - aligns with standard µP supply tolerance requirements and avoids false resets during transient dips. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - provides sufficient time for clock stabilization and memory initialization before processor release. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with common battery chemistries (Li-ion, Li-Po, 2–3 cell alkaline) and USB 5V bus inputs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6471TA25AD3+T is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is IN; Pin 2 is GND; Pin 3 is MR (active-low manual reset); Pin 4 is RESET (active-low push-pull); Pin 5 is SET (tied to GND for 2.5V fixed output); Pin 6 is OUT; Pins 7–8 are unused; EP is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator input supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and noise rejection. |
| 2 (GND) | Power and thermal reference | Primary ground return path; 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 push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; sinks ≥3.2mA at 0.4V - no external pullup needed for most microcontrollers. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback reference node | Internally tied to 1.229V reference; grounded for fixed 2.5V output - floating or misconnected causes undefined regulation. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5V @ up to 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor with <100mΩ ESR for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated manual reset (MR) | Enables operator-initiated or test-system-triggered reset without disrupting regulated output - critical for field diagnostics and firmware recovery. |
| 150ms reset timeout (D3) | Guarantees sufficient hold-off time for oscillator startup and memory initialization before CPU release - prevents race conditions in boot sequences. |
| Low 82µA quiescent current | Reduces standby power draw to <206nW per volt - extends shelf life and operational runtime in battery-backed IoT edge nodes. |
| Reverse current protection | 0.01µA typical OUT-to-IN leakage - prevents backup capacitors or secondary batteries from discharging into depleted primary sources. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Activates at +180°C with +20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
Applications
| Handheld Instruments | USB Peripheral 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76325QDBVRQ1 | 2.5V fixed, 150mA max, 120mV dropout at 150mA, open-drain RESET, no MR input | Lacks manual reset capability; lower current rating limits use in higher-power BLE or sensor fusion designs | Select only if MR functionality is unnecessary and load current remains ≤150mA - requires external pullup on RESET. |
| ADP196ACBZ-2.5-R7 | 2.5V fixed, 300mA, 200mV dropout at 300mA, no integrated reset or MR | Requires external supervisor IC (e.g., ADM6315) for reset generation - increases BOM count and board area | Choose when design prioritizes ultra-low noise (<15µVRMS) over integration - adds complexity but improves analog signal integrity. |
Compared with TPS76325QDBVRQ1 and ADP196ACBZ-2.5-R7, the MAX6471TA25AD3+T uniquely combines 300mA drive, MR input, and 150ms timeout in a single 8-pin TDFN - reducing component count and simplifying power sequencing in compact battery-powered systems where deterministic manual and brownout reset behavior is mandatory.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX6471TA25AD3+T deliver?
The MAX6471TA25AD3+T delivers a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 2.5V with ±2.0% accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This value is confirmed by the "25" suffix in the part number and verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under Output Voltage Accuracy for MAX6471–MAX6474 devices. The SET pin must be connected to GND to enable this preset mode.
Does the MAX6471TA25AD3+T include a manual reset input?
Yes, the MAX6471TA25AD3+T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) on Pin 3. As documented in the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections, asserting MR low forces the RESET output active for the full 150ms timeout period, even if VOUT remains within specification - enabling hardware-triggered system resets for firmware updates or fault recovery.
What is the reset timeout duration for the MAX6471TA25AD3+T?
The MAX6471TA25AD3+T has a minimum reset timeout duration of 150ms, indicated by the "D3" suffix. This value is guaranteed across temperature and process variation, and is distinct from the 2.5ms (D1), 20ms (D2), and 1200ms (D4) options available in the MAX6469–MAX6484 family. The timeout begins after MR release or VOUT recovery and holds RESET low for the full interval.
What package type is used for the MAX6471TA25AD3+T?
The MAX6471TA25AD3+T uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP (Thin Dual Flat No-lead with Exposed Pad) package measuring 3mm × 3mm. This is confirmed by the "TA" prefix in the part number and the Ordering Information table, which specifies "8 TDFN-EP" for TA-suffixed variants. The exposed pad (EP) is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for thermal performance.
How does the MAX6471TA25AD3+T handle reverse current flow?
The MAX6471TA25AD3+T incorporates reverse current protection that limits OUT-to-IN leakage to 0.01µA typical when VOUT > VIN. This prevents backup capacitors or secondary batteries from discharging into a depleted primary source. The feature is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Input Reverse Leakage Current" and is implemented via internal circuitry that disables the pass transistor's parasitic diode path.
