Product details
Overview
MAX6770TASD0+T from Maxim Integrated is an automotive-grade micropower linear regulator with integrated supervisor, delivering 100mA at fixed 3.3V output (T suffix), operating from 4V to 72V input, featuring open-drain active-low RESET with 75µs fixed timeout (D0 suffix), and qualified for -40°C to +125°C operation in automotive modules requiring ultra-low quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6770TASD0+T datasheet, MAX6770TASD0+T pinout, MAX6770TASD0+T application, or MAX6770TASD0+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, thermal-aware package data, watchdog-free supervisor behavior, and validated alternative options for automotive power-rail supervision and always-on ECU subsystems.
Technical Context
The MAX6770TASD0+T implements a single-enable (ENABLE) linear regulator architecture with fixed 3.3V output and internal 2.888V reset threshold (S suffix), asserting RESET when OUT falls below that level for ≥75µs (D0). It uses a PMOS pass transistor with 866mV dropout at 100mA load and includes overtemperature shutdown (160°C) and short-circuit protection.
No watchdog timer is present - the MAX6770TASD0+T belongs to the MAX6765/MAX6766/MAX6769/MAX6770/MAX6773/MAX6773B/MAX6774/MAX6774B enable-group subset without WDI functionality. Its RESET output is open-drain, requiring external pull-up, and TIMEOUT pin is internally connected to OUT for fixed 75µs timeout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 72V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (72V) transients. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.5% - tightly regulated for MCU I/O and logic supply rails across temperature and load. |
| Quiescent Current | 31µA typical - enables always-on operation in vehicle body control modules without draining battery. |
| Output Current | 100mA guaranteed - sufficient for microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces in compact ECUs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 866mV at 100mA - ensures regulation down to VIN = 4.166V, critical during low-battery cranking conditions. |
| Reset Threshold | 2.888V (S option) - monitors 3.3V rail with 12.5% undervoltage margin, preventing MCU malfunction during brownout. |
| Reset Timeout | 75µs fixed - meets fast-reset requirements for real-time safety-critical subsystems (e.g., airbag controllers). |
Pinout & Package
MAX6770TASD0+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 6-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, package code T633+2), with exposed pad (EP) electrically tied to GND and required for thermal dissipation (θJA = 42°C/W on multilayer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Regulator Input | Bypassed to GND with ≥0.1µF capacitor; withstands 80V absolute max; supplies entire IC including supervisor circuitry. |
| 2 GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for regulator, RESET, and ENABLE; EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
| 3 ENABLE | Active-High Enable Input | Drives regulator ON when pulled >1.4V; internally pulled down (0.6µA) to GND; no HOLD or dual-enable functionality. |
| 4 RESET | Active-Low Open-Drain Output | Asserts low during undervoltage; requires external pull-up resistor (e.g., 10kΩ to VCC); sinks 3.2mA max when asserted. |
| 5 TIMEOUT | Reset Timeout Adjust Input | Internally connected to OUT - configures fixed 75µs timeout; not used for capacitor adjustment in D0 version. |
| 6 OUT | Regulated Output | 3.3V output; bypassed to GND with ≥10µF capacitor; provides power to downstream loads and RESET pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Rated for automotive applications (-40°C to +125°C junction), meeting stress-test requirements for under-hood deployment. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 160°C (typ), restarts at 140°C (20°C hysteresis), enabling safe cycling during sustained overload without latch-off. |
| Overvoltage protection | Clamps output at 1.07–1.13×VOUT (i.e., ~3.53–3.73V) by sinking up to 10mA, protecting downstream 3.3V logic from transient overvoltage. |
| Low-noise linear regulation | PSRR of 70dB at 100Hz enables clean power delivery to noise-sensitive analog sensors and ADC references. |
| Fast startup response | 180µs from ENABLE high to stable 3.3V OUT at 100mA load - supports rapid system wake-up from sleep modes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear regulator with supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6766TASD0+T | Same pinout, same 3.3V/2.888V/D0 specs, but lacks thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection. | Suitable only for benign environments where fault protection is handled externally. | Select MAX6766TASD0+T only if BOM cost reduction outweighs loss of integrated fault protection. |
| TLV70733PDQNR | Lower IQ (25µA), smaller 2mm × 2mm SOT-563 package, but limited to 6.5V max input and no reset supervisor. | Applicable only in non-automotive, low-voltage systems (<6.5V) where external reset IC is acceptable. | Choose TLV70733PDQNR for space-constrained consumer designs; avoid for automotive due to missing AEC-Q100, 72V rating, and integrated RESET. |
Compared with MAX6766TASD0+T, MAX6770TASD0+T adds essential thermal and short-circuit protection for under-hood use; versus TLV70733PDQNR, it delivers automotive-grade robustness, wide-input capability, and fully integrated supervision - making it the sole choice for ISO 16750-compliant vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the function of the TIMEOUT pin on the MAX6770TASD0+T?
The TIMEOUT pin on the MAX6770TASD0+T is internally connected to the OUT pin to configure the fixed 75µs reset timeout period (D0 suffix). It is not intended for external capacitor connection - doing so would disrupt the factory-set timing and is not supported per the datasheet. The MAX6770TASD0+T does not support adjustable timeout.
Does the MAX6770TASD0+T include a watchdog timer?
No, the MAX6770TASD0+T does not include a watchdog timer. Watchdog functionality is exclusive to the MAX6773/MAX6773B/MAX6774/MAX6774B variants (which feature WDI pin). The MAX6770TASD0+T belongs to the ENABLE-only group (MAX6765/MAX6766/MAX6769/MAX6770) and provides only voltage-monitoring RESET without pulse-train supervision.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for continuous operation of the MAX6770TASD0+T?
The MAX6770TASD0+T supports continuous operation up to 72V input, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. This rating covers automotive load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. For reliable long-term operation, design with derated power dissipation - e.g., at 72V input and 100mA load, ensure θJA ≤ 30°C/W via proper PCB copper area and airflow.
How is the reset threshold determined for the MAX6770TASD0+T?
The reset threshold for the MAX6770TASD0+T is fixed at 2.888V (S suffix), corresponding to 87.5% of its 3.3V nominal output. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and guaranteed over -40°C to +125°C. It is not adjustable - unlike MAX6769/MAX6770, the MAX6770TASD0+T has no RESETIN pin and relies solely on internal monitoring of the OUT pin.
Is the MAX6770TASD0+T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the "+T" suffix in MAX6770TASD0+T explicitly denotes a lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant package per Maxim Integrated's ordering conventions. The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C).
