Product details
Overview
MAX6475TA25BD3+ 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, active-low push-pull RESET, and active-low SHDN control. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers ±2.0% output accuracy over temperature, and consumes only 82µA quiescent current - ideal for battery-powered portable systems requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6475TA25BD3+ datasheet, MAX6475TA25BD3+ pinout, MAX6475TA25BD3+ application, or MAX6475TA25BD3+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its remote feedback (FB) capability for external NPN transistor boosting, 114mV dropout at 300mA, thermal shutdown at +180°C, reverse current protection (<0.01µA OUT→IN), and compatibility with compact 8-pin TDFN-EP packaging for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6475TA25BD3+ integrates a precision LDO regulator core and a fully self-contained reset supervisor sharing the same reference. Its FB pin enables remote sensing of load voltage or connection to an external NPN pass transistor - enabling higher-current applications without sacrificing regulation accuracy at the point-of-load.
This variant belongs to the MAX6475/MAX6476/MAX6483/MAX6484 subgroup featuring dedicated FB (not SET) for remote sense or high-current boost configurations, distinct from SET-based adjustable-output variants. It uses a -7.5% VOUT reset threshold with 150ms timeout (D3 suffix), push-pull RESET output, and active-low SHDN - no manual reset (MR) pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2.0% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core logic supply for microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient for mid-power SoCs, RF modules, and peripheral ICs in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 114mV at 300mA - enables operation down to VIN = 2.614V while maintaining regulated 2.5V output. |
| Quiescent Current | 82µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring or sleep-mode applications. |
| Reset Threshold | -7.5% of nominal VOUT (i.e., 2.3125V) - triggers RESET before microprocessor supply tolerance violation. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - provides sufficient hold-off time for clock stabilization and memory initialization. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA typical - enables ultra-low-power system suspend states with full regulator disable. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 2–3-cell alkaline, or USB-powered systems. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6475TA25BD3+ is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed paddle (EP) internally connected to GND. The EP must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for thermal management and electrical integrity.
| 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. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground / Thermal Pad | Primary return path and heatsink; must connect to large copper area or ground plane. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown Control | Pull low to disable regulator and reduce supply current to 0.1µA; tie to IN for normal operation. |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-Low Push-Pull Reset Output | Drives µP reset pin directly; asserts low during power-up, brownout, or SHDN activation. |
| 5 (FB) | Remote Feedback Sense Input | Connects to load VCC for precise remote voltage regulation or to external NPN base for current boosting. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers up to 300mA at 2.5V; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 7–8 (EP) | Exposed Paddle | Internally tied to GND; mandatory thermal connection to PCB ground plane for safe operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Remote Feedback (FB) Pin | Enables point-of-load regulation or external NPN transistor current boosting - supports >1A total load when paired with suitable transistor. |
| Integrated Microprocessor Reset | Eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC; provides deterministic 150ms reset assertion after power stabilization. |
| Low Dropout & Ultra-Low IQ | 114mV dropout at full 300mA load + 82µA quiescent current - maximizes usable battery voltage range and runtime. |
| Reverse Current Protection | <0.01µA OUT→IN leakage - prevents backup capacitors or batteries from back-feeding into depleted input sources. |
| Thermal & Short-Circuit Protection | Auto-shutdown at +180°C junction temp with 20°C hysteresis; 450mA min current limit - ensures robustness under fault conditions. |
| Push-Pull RESET Output | Directly drives microcontroller reset inputs without pull-up resistor - simplifies BOM and improves noise immunity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO-with-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A0525PDBVR | 250mA LDO, no integrated reset, 1.5µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package | Requires external supervisor IC for reset functionality; lower IQ but no built-in timing or threshold control | Select when ultra-low standby power dominates over integration; add TLV809 or similar for reset. |
| ADM6315-25ARTZ-R7 | Standalone 2.5V reset supervisor (no LDO), 1.6µA IQ, SOT-23-3 | Provides only reset function; must pair with separate LDO like ADM7172ACPZ-R7 for full solution | Choose when design already uses a different LDO and only reset supervision is needed. |
Compared with TPS7A0525PDBVR and ADM6315-25ARTZ-R7, the MAX6475TA25BD3+ delivers full power management integration - combining 300mA LDO regulation, precise -7.5% reset threshold, 150ms timeout, and FB-based remote sensing in one 8-pin TDFN - reducing component count, layout area, and qualification effort for battery-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage and tolerance of the MAX6475TA25BD3+?
The MAX6475TA25BD3+ provides a fixed 2.5V output voltage with ±2.0% accuracy over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This specification is guaranteed across load currents from 1mA to 300mA and input voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for precision analog and digital logic rails where tight regulation is required. The MAX6475TA25BD3+ does not require external resistors to set this voltage.
How does the FB pin on the MAX6475TA25BD3+ differ from the SET pin used in other MAX64xx variants?
The FB pin on the MAX6475TA25BD3+ is a dedicated remote feedback input that connects directly to the internal error amplifier - unlike the SET pin found on MAX6469–MAX6472 variants, which serves dual-mode (fixed/adjustable) configuration. The FB pin enables true remote voltage sensing at the load or connection to an external NPN transistor base for current boosting, without internal resistor-divider loading. This architecture is exclusive to MAX6475/MAX6476/MAX6483/MAX6484 devices.
What reset timeout period is implemented in the MAX6475TA25BD3+ and how is it selected?
The MAX6475TA25BD3+ implements a 150ms minimum reset timeout period, indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This value is factory-programmed and non-adjustable. The timeout begins when the regulator output rises above the -7.5% reset threshold (2.3125V) and ensures the RESET signal remains asserted for at least 150ms to guarantee microprocessor clock and memory initialization before release. No external components are needed to configure this timing.
Does the MAX6475TA25BD3+ support reverse current protection, and what is its leakage specification?
Yes, the MAX6475TA25BD3+ includes integrated reverse current protection. When the output voltage exceeds the input voltage (e.g., during battery swap or supercapacitor hold-up), the OUT-to-IN leakage current is limited to 0.01µA typical (1.5µA max), preventing back-feeding into the input source. This feature is critical for systems using backup capacitors or secondary batteries, and is explicitly characterized in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Input Reverse Leakage Current".
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the MAX6475TA25BD3+?
The MAX6475TA25BD3+ is supplied in an 8-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm) with exposed paddle. Its thermal resistance θJC is 41°C/W, and maximum continuous power dissipation at +70°C ambient is 1951mW (derating 24.4mW/°C above +70°C). The exposed paddle must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve rated performance and prevent thermal shutdown during sustained 300mA operation.
