Product details
Overview
The MAX6471TA25BD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 2.5V output, -12.5% reset threshold, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It features 82µA quiescent current, 114mV dropout at full load, and operates across -40°C to +85°C. Designed for battery-powered portable electronics, it replaces discrete LDO + supervisor combinations in space-constrained PDA and Bluetooth modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6471TA25BD3+ datasheet, MAX6471TA25BD3+ pinout, MAX6471TA25BD3+ application, or MAX6471TA25BD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its manual reset input (MR), open-drain active-low RESET output, 2.5V fixed output accuracy of ±2.0%, and compatibility with 3.3µF ceramic output capacitors for stable regulation under dynamic loads.
Technical Context
The MAX6471TA25BD3+ integrates a precision LDO regulator core and a dedicated reset supervisor sharing the same internal reference. Its MR pin enables external assertion of reset while VOUT remains within specification, with internal 40kΩ pullup to OUT and 1µs minimum pulse width support.
Reset behavior is defined by a -12.5% VOUT threshold (90% nominal), 150ms timeout (D3 suffix), and 35µs propagation delay from VOUT drop to RESET assertion. The device uses an active-low SHDN input and supports reverse current protection (0.01µA OUT→IN leakage) and thermal shutdown at +180°C with 20°C hysteresis.
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 logic and analog subsystems |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power microcontrollers, RF transceivers, and sensor interfaces simultaneously |
| Dropout Voltage | 114mV at 300mA - enables operation down to VIN = 2.614V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3×alkaline battery systems |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications without compromising startup speed |
| Reset Threshold | -12.5% of 2.5V (2.1875V min) - meets stringent microprocessor supply tolerance requirements for reliable brownout detection |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - provides adequate time for clock stabilization and memory initialization before processor release |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA typical - reduces system standby power to nanoampere levels when host controller disables regulation |
Pinout & Package
MAX6471TA25BD3+ is housed in an 8-pin TDFN package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed paddle thermally connected to GND. Pin 1 is IN, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is SHDN, Pin 4 is RESET (open-drain active-low), Pin 5 is MR (manual reset input), and Pin 6 is OUT. The exposed paddle must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Regulator input | Bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor; accepts 2.5V–5.5V input; undervoltage lockout triggers at 2.25V |
| GND | Ground reference & thermal path | Electrical return and primary heat sink; requires direct connection to large copper area |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pulled high to IN for normal operation; drives regulator core and reference into ultra-low-power state |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain configuration allows wired-OR with other supervisors; sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V max |
| MR | Manual reset input | Asserts RESET when pulled low; internal 40kΩ pullup to OUT eliminates need for external resistor |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5V @ 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated manual reset input (MR) | Enables system-level reset initiation without interrupting regulated output, supporting field service and test modes |
| -12.5% reset threshold accuracy | Guarantees deterministic reset assertion before microprocessor supply violation, eliminating marginal timing failures |
| 150ms reset timeout (D3) | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for post-power-up initialization sequencing |
| Reverse current protection | 0.01µA OUT→IN leakage prevents backup capacitor discharge into depleted battery during hot-swap events |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | +180°C trip point and +20°C hysteresis enable self-recovery from transient overload without firmware intervention |

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 | 250mA output, 120ms reset timeout, no MR pin, automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C) | Lacks manual reset capability; suited for automotive infotainment but not field-serviceable instruments | Select when AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature range are mandatory, and MR is unnecessary |
| ADP196ACBZ-2.5-R7 | 300mA output, no integrated reset, requires external supervisor (e.g., ADM6315), 6-lead SOT-23 | Modular design increases BOM count and board area; reset timing less tightly coupled to VOUT | Select when design requires independent optimization of reset threshold or timeout, or when footprint constraints favor SOT-23 |
Compared with TPS76325QDBVRQ1 and ADP196ACBZ-2.5-R7, the MAX6471TA25BD3+ uniquely combines manual reset, precise -12.5% threshold, and 150ms timeout in a single 8-pin TDFN-reducing component count and improving power-rail coordination in portable medical and industrial handhelds.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6471TA25BD3+?
The MAX6471TA25BD3+ has a -12.5% reset threshold relative to its 2.5V nominal output, meaning RESET asserts when VOUT falls below 2.1875V. This threshold is guaranteed across -40°C to +85°C and matches the "B" suffix in the ordering guide, confirming 85% to 90% VOUT tolerance range.
Does MAX6471TA25BD3+ support adjustable output voltage?
No, MAX6471TA25BD3+ does not support adjustable output. It belongs to the MAX6471–MAX6474/MAX6479–MAX6482 subgroup, which uses the FB pin for remote sensing-not SET-based adjustment. Its output is factory-trimmed to 2.5V with ±2.0% accuracy over temperature.
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6471TA25BD3+?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6471TA25BD3+ is an active-low input that asserts the RESET output even when VOUT is within specification. It features an internal 40kΩ pullup to OUT, enabling direct switch-to-ground connection without external components, and supports 1µs minimum pulse width for robust noise immunity.
Can MAX6471TA25BD3+ be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, MAX6471TA25BD3+ is fully compatible with ceramic output capacitors. The datasheet specifies a minimum 3.3µF ceramic capacitor with ESR < 0.2Ω for stable operation across 1mA–300mA load range and -40°C to +85°C, eliminating need for tantalum or electrolytic alternatives.
What package type and thermal characteristics does MAX6471TA25BD3+ have?
MAX6471TA25BD3+ uses an 8-pin TDFN package (3mm × 3mm) with exposed paddle connected to GND. Its thermal resistance θJA is 24.4°C/W, enabling 1951mW maximum power dissipation at +70°C ambient, with derating above that temperature. The exposed paddle must be soldered to PCB ground plane for effective heat transfer.
