Product details
Overview
MAX6474TA33BD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated microprocessor reset circuit, fixed 3.3V output, -12.5% reset threshold accuracy, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It features 82µA quiescent current, 114mV dropout at 300mA load, and active-low push-pull or open-drain RESET output. Designed for battery-powered portable equipment including Bluetooth modules and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6474TA33BD3+ datasheet, MAX6474TA33BD3+ pinout, MAX6474TA33BD3+ application, or MAX6474TA33BD3+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its shutdown capability (0.1µA), manual reset input (MR), thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with 2.5V–5.5V input range in compact 8-pin TDFN-EP package.
Technical Context
The MAX6474TA33BD3+ integrates a precision LDO regulator core and a fully self-contained reset supervisor sharing the same voltage reference. Its regulator delivers ±2.0% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C and supports fixed 3.3V output via internal resistor divider, with SET pin grounded per configuration.
The reset circuit monitors VOUT against a –12.5% threshold (i.e., 2.9025V nominal for 3.3V output), asserts active-low RESET during power-up/brownout, and sustains assertion for ≥150ms after recovery. MR input enables external reset initiation while VOUT remains in spec, with internal 40kΩ pullup to VOUT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2.0% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core supply for 3.3V microcontrollers and peripherals. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power baseband processors, RF transceivers, or sensor subsystems in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 114mV at 300mA - enables operation down to VIN = 3.414V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or triple-alkaline battery systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - minimizes standby drain in always-on applications such as Bluetooth LE modules or USB suspend states. |
| Reset Threshold | –12.5% of VOUT (2.9025V) - provides tighter supply monitoring than –7.5% variants, suitable for high-reliability µP boot sequences. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - meets JEDEC JESD78 requirements for processor initialization timing and clock stabilization. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA typical - allows deep-sleep mode with near-zero system leakage when SHDN is asserted. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports wide battery chemistries (Li-ion, Li-Poly, 2–3 alkaline) and USB-powered operation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6474TA33BD3+ is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height) package with exposed paddle thermally and electrically connected to GND. The EP pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal dissipation and EMI performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator Input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V supply; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND close to pin for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground / Thermal Pad | Primary return path and heatsink; must connect to large copper area or internal ground plane. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown Control | Pulled high to IN for normal operation; pulling low disables regulator and reduces IQ to 0.1µA. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull or open-drain configurable; asserts low during brownout, power-up, or MR activation. |
| 5 (MR) | Active-Low Manual Reset Input | Internal 40kΩ pullup to VOUT; logic-low pulse initiates reset regardless of VOUT status. |
| 6 (SET) | Feedback Reference Input | Grounded for fixed 3.3V output; unused in this variant - not connected to external divider. |
| 7,8 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers 3.3V @ up to 300mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability. |
| EP | Exposed Paddle | Internally tied to GND; mandatory connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Microprocessor Reset | Eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC; guarantees reset assertion during power-up, brownout, and manual trigger events. |
| Manual Reset Input (MR) | Enables field-serviceable or test-mode resets without cycling main power - critical for embedded diagnostics and firmware updates. |
| Thermal & Short-Circuit Protection | Shuts down pass transistor at 180°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis; survives indefinite output short to GND. |
| Reverse Current Protection | 0.01µA typical OUT-to-IN leakage prevents battery backfeed - essential for backup-supply architectures and hot-swap designs. |
| Low Dropout + Low IQ | 114mV dropout at full 300mA load and only 82µA operating current enable >90% efficiency in 3.3V/3.6V battery systems. |
| Wide Input Range Support | 2.5V–5.5V input accommodates aging batteries, USB 2.0/3.0 ports, and multi-chemistry power sources without redesign. |

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., TPS3808G01); 120mA max output; 125mV dropout at 100mA. | Lacks MR input and programmable reset timeout; suitable only where reset functionality is implemented elsewhere. | Select if board space permits separate reset IC and load current ≤120mA suffices. |
| ADP196ACBZ-3.3-R7 | Includes power-good flag but no reset timeout or MR; 300mA output; 200mV dropout at 300mA; no shutdown pin. | Cannot replace reset timing control or manual reset function; lacks SHDN for ultra-low-power sleep modes. | Choose only when reset timing is managed by host µC and shutdown is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS76333DBVR and ADP196ACBZ-3.3-R7, the MAX6474TA33BD3+ uniquely integrates reset timeout, manual reset, and sub-0.1µA shutdown in a single 8-pin TDFN - reducing BOM count, PCB footprint, and design validation effort for portable 3.3V systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6474TA33BD3+?
The MAX6474TA33BD3+ uses the "B" suffix for reset threshold accuracy, corresponding to –12.5% of nominal output voltage. With a fixed 3.3V output, this yields a reset threshold of 2.9025V (3.3V × 0.875). The device asserts RESET when VOUT falls below this value and holds it asserted for ≥150ms after recovery, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Does MAX6474TA33BD3+ support adjustable output voltage?
No, MAX6474TA33BD3+ is configured for fixed 3.3V output. Its SET pin is internally connected to the feedback network and must be grounded per the datasheet's preset-voltage mode. Unlike MAX6469–MAX6472 variants, the MAX6474 does not support external resistor-divider adjustment - the "A" in the part number denotes fixed-output configuration.
How is the 150ms reset timeout period implemented in MAX6474TA33BD3+?
The "D3" suffix in MAX6474TA33BD3+ selects the 150ms minimum reset timeout period. This is a factory-programmed, monolithic timing element within the IC - no external capacitor or resistor is required. The timeout begins when VOUT rises above the –12.5% threshold and continues for ≥150ms, ensuring reliable µP initialization even with slow-rising clocks or PLL lock times.
Can MAX6474TA33BD3+ be used with a lithium coin cell?
Yes, MAX6474TA33BD3+ operates from 2.5V input, making it compatible with CR2032 (nominal 3.0V, end-of-life ~2.0V) when paired with appropriate undervoltage lockout margin. Its 82µA quiescent current and 0.1µA shutdown mode extend coin-cell life significantly. However, ensure VIN never drops below 2.25V (UVLO threshold) to avoid uncontrolled reset behavior.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to MAX6474TA33BD3+?
MAX6474TA33BD3+ uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed paddle. Its thermal resistance θJA is 24.4°C/W, enabling 1951mW max power dissipation at +70°C ambient. For reliable operation at 300mA, maintain PCB copper area under the EP pad and limit (VIN – VOUT) × IOUT to stay below thermal limits - e.g., at VIN = 4.2V, max allowable power is 327mW.
