Product details
Overview
MAX6472TA33BD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 3.3V output, ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, 114mV dropout at 300mA load, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It delivers stable power and reliable reset signaling for battery-powered microprocessor systems in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6472TA33BD3+ datasheet, MAX6472TA33BD3+ pinout, MAX6472TA33BD3+ application, or MAX6472TA33BD3+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its active-low open-drain RESET output, SHDN-controlled 0.1µA shutdown current, 82µA quiescent supply current, and compatibility with 2.5V–5.5V input rails in space-constrained SOT23-6 layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6472TA33BD3+ integrates a precision LDO regulator core and a dedicated reset supervisor sharing the same reference. Its reset circuit monitors VOUT against a -7.5% threshold (A-suffix), asserts active-low RESET for ≥150ms after recovery, and supports shutdown via SHDN pin - all while maintaining 82µA ground current under no load and 96µA at full 300mA load.
This device belongs to the MAX6471–MAX6474 subfamily: it features SHDN (not MR) and uses SET for fixed/adjustable mode selection, but does not include manual reset or remote sense functionality. Its thermal shutdown activates at +180°C with 20°C hysteresis, and reverse current protection limits OUT-to-IN leakage to 0.01µA typical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2.0% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable µP core rail within JEDEC-compliant tolerance bands. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power ARM Cortex-M series MCUs and associated peripherals without external boost. |
| Dropout Voltage | 114mV at 300mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or three-alkaline (4.5V) sources with margin. |
| Supply Current | 82µA typical (no load), 96µA at 300mA - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes. |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of VOUT (A-suffix) - triggers RESET before µP supply violation per Intel/ARM brownout specifications. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum (D3-suffix) - satisfies boot-time stabilization requirements for flash memory and PLL lock sequences. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA typical - reduces system static power to nanoampere level during deep sleep or transport mode. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with USB VBUS, Li-ion, and multi-cell alkaline/battery stacks without pre-regulation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6472TA33BD3+ is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND for thermal management. Pin 1 = IN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = SHDN, Pin 4 = RESET (open-drain active-low), Pin 5 = SET, Pin 6 = OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V unregulated source; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Power and thermal ground | Primary return path and heatsink; must connect to large PCB copper area for thermal dissipation. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pull low to disable regulator and reduce IQ to 0.1µA; tie to IN for normal operation. |
| 4 (RESET) | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low when VOUT < 3.0525V (3.3V × 92.5%) or during startup/shutdown; requires external pullup. |
| 5 (SET) | Feedback configuration select | Connect to GND for fixed 3.3V output; leave floating or connect divider for adjustable mode (not used here). |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.3V @ up to 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated µP reset supervisor | Eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC - reduces BOM count and layout area in compact handheld designs. |
| Low 82µA quiescent current | Enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors operating at 10µA average system current. |
| 150ms reset timeout (D3) | Guarantees sufficient time for oscillator stabilization and memory initialization before processor release. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Prevents field failure during solder rework or accidental output short - no external current-limiting components needed. |
| Reverse current blocking | 0.01µA OUT-to-IN leakage prevents backup battery discharge when main supply is removed. |
| ±2.0% output accuracy over temp | Meets tight tolerance requirements for FPGA I/O banks and high-speed SerDes power domains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76333DBVR | No integrated reset; requires external supervisor (e.g., TPS3809); 100mA max output; 120mV dropout at 100mA. | Lacks built-in reset logic - increases component count and board area; suitable only where reset timing is externally managed. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs integration benefit and system reset is already handled elsewhere. |
| NCP302LSN33T1G | Fixed 3.3V, 150mA, no reset function; 250mV dropout at 150mA; 120µA IQ; SOT23-5 (no SHDN pin). | Cannot replace reset functionality - requires separate supervisor IC; lower current rating limits use with modern MCUs. | Consider only for legacy designs with light loads (<100mA) and existing discrete reset architecture. |
Compared with TPS76333DBVR and NCP302LSN33T1G, the MAX6472TA33BD3+ uniquely combines 300mA drive, integrated -7.5% reset with 150ms timeout, and 0.1µA shutdown in a single SOT23-6 footprint - reducing total solution size by ≥30% and eliminating timing mismatch risks between discrete LDO and supervisor.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold accuracy and timeout period for MAX6472TA33BD3+?
The MAX6472TA33BD3+ uses the 'A' suffix indicating a -7.5% reset threshold (i.e., RESET asserts when VOUT falls below 3.0525V) and the 'D3' suffix specifying a 150ms minimum reset timeout period. This combination ensures compliance with common microprocessor brownout detection requirements while providing sufficient margin for oscillator startup and memory initialization sequences in the MAX6472TA33BD3+ design.
Does MAX6472TA33BD3+ support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the MAX6472TA33BD3+ supports adjustable output via the SET pin, though it is configured for fixed 3.3V operation in this variant. When SET is connected to GND, the internal resistor divider sets VOUT to 3.3V. To adjust output, disconnect SET from GND and connect an external resistor divider between OUT, SET, and GND using VSET = 1.23V reference - enabling outputs from 1.25V to 5.5V in the MAX6472TA33BD3+.
What package type and pin count does MAX6472TA33BD3+ use?
The MAX6472TA33BD3+ is packaged in a 6-pin SOT23-6 with exposed thermal pad (EP), where EP is internally connected to GND. Pinout is: Pin 1 = IN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = SHDN, Pin 4 = RESET (open-drain active-low), Pin 5 = SET, Pin 6 = OUT. This compact footprint enables high-density layouts in space-constrained portable devices using the MAX6472TA33BD3+.
How does the shutdown feature work on MAX6472TA33BD3+?
The MAX6472TA33BD3+ implements active-low shutdown via the SHDN pin: pulling SHDN low disables the regulator, reducing supply current to 0.1µA typical. During shutdown, both the pass transistor and internal reference are turned off. For normal operation, SHDN must be tied to IN or driven high. This feature enables firmware-controlled power gating in battery-powered systems using the MAX6472TA33BD3+.
Is MAX6472TA33BD3+ RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MAX6472TA33BD3+ is RoHS-compliant and lead(Pb)-free. The '+' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the lead-free/RoHS-compliant version per Maxim Integrated's ordering convention. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020C reflow profile requirements for Pb-free packages, with peak solder temperature rated at +260°C - confirmed in the official MAX6469–MAX6484 datasheet for the MAX6472TA33BD3+.
