Product details
Overview
MAX6770TAVD3+T from Maxim Integrated is an automotive-grade micropower linear regulator with integrated supervisor and watchdog timer, delivering 100mA at fixed 5.0V output (L-suffix), operating from 4V to 72V input, featuring 31µA quiescent current, open-drain active-low RESET, and 50ms capacitor-adjustable reset timeout - used in always-on vehicle control modules requiring low-power brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6770TAVD3+T datasheet, MAX6770TAVD3+T pinout, MAX6770TAVD3+T application, or MAX6770TAVD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, -40°C to +125°C operation, 620mV dropout at 100mA/5V, TDFN-6 package thermal performance (θJA = 42°C/W on multilayer board), and watchdog timeout compatibility with microprocessor supervision in infotainment and body-control units.
Technical Context
The MAX6770TAVD3+T implements a single-enable (ENABLE) linear regulator architecture with internal 1.233V reference and precision bandgap-controlled feedback. Its supervisor block monitors OUT voltage against a fixed 4.625V reset threshold (L-option) and asserts an open-drain RESET for ≥50ms after recovery, set via TIMEOUT pin capacitor (D3 = 50ms typ).
This variant belongs to the MAX6770 subgroup - it lacks HOLD, WDI, RESETIN, ENABLE2, and dual-enable logic; includes overtemperature shutdown (160°C) and short-circuit protection; and uses a thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm TDFN-6 package with exposed pad (EP) tied to GND for 1.951W dissipation capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 72V - supports full automotive battery range including load dump (up to 80V absolute max). |
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±1.5% (L-option) - factory-trimmed, stable across -40°C to +125°C without external components. |
| Quiescent Current | 31µA (typ) at no load - enables >10-year battery standby in always-on modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 620mV at 100mA/5V - ensures regulation down to VIN = 5.62V, critical during cold-crank conditions. |
| Reset Timeout | 50ms (D3 option) - externally adjustable via TIMEOUT-to-GND capacitor; meets ISO 16750-2 power interruption immunity. |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - compatible with µP reset inputs requiring pull-up; VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6770TAVD3+T is housed in a 3mm × 3mm, 6-pin TDFN-EP package (package code T633+2) with exposed thermal pad (EP) soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal heat dissipation (θJC = 9°C/W).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN | Regulator input - accepts 4V–72V; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability. |
| 2 | GND | Power and signal ground - connects internally to EP; must be low-impedance PCB plane. |
| 3 | ENABLE | Active-high enable - driven high to activate regulator; internally pulled down (0.6µA) when floating. |
| 4 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - asserts when OUT < 4.625V; remains low ≥50ms after recovery. |
| 5 | TIMEOUT | Reset timeout adjust - connect to GND via capacitor to set D3 (50ms typ); open for fixed timeout. |
| 6 | OUT | 5.0V regulated output - requires ≥10µF ceramic output capacitor; delivers up to 100mA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-quiescent-current operation | 31µA supply current enables direct battery connection in always-on ECU modules without excessive drain. |
| Wide-input automotive voltage range | 4V–72V operation covers cold-crank (down to 4V), normal operation (9–16V), and load-dump transients (up to 80V abs max). |
| Integrated supervisor with precise reset | Fixed 4.625V reset threshold (L-option) with 50ms timeout ensures reliable µP reset during brownout and startup. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Auto-shutdown at 160°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified per AEC-Q100 Rev H Grade 0 (−40°C to +125°C), meeting automotive reliability and stress-test requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar micropower automotive LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6765TTLD4+T | Same family, identical 5V/L/D4 (200ms reset), but no watchdog; lower quiescent current (31µA vs same), same TDFN-6 package. | Lacks watchdog timer; suitable where only power-supply supervision is required, not µP activity monitoring. | Select when system does not require WDI-based fault detection and longer reset timeout (200ms) is preferred for slower-ramping rails. |
| TLV73350PDBVR | 300mA, 5V fixed LDO; 50µA IQ; 6V max input; SOT-23-5; no supervisor or reset output. | Not automotive-qualified; lacks reset, watchdog, wide-input, or AEC-Q100 rating. | Only for non-automotive, low-current, low-voltage systems where cost and size outweigh functional and qualification requirements. |
Compared with MAX6765TTLD4+T, MAX6770TAVD3+T offers identical regulation and reset functionality but targets 50ms timeout instead of 200ms - better matching fast-recovery µP requirements. Compared with TLV73350PDBVR, MAX6770TAVD3+T adds AEC-Q100, 72V input, supervisor, and thermal protection - essential for automotive deployment.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX6770TAVD3+T?
The MAX6770TAVD3+T features a fixed reset threshold of 4.625V (L-option), guaranteed from -40°C to +125°C. This value is factory-trimmed and applies to the monitored OUT voltage; RESET asserts when OUT falls below this threshold and remains asserted for ≥50ms after recovery. The threshold is not adjustable on this variant.
Does MAX6770TAVD3+T include a watchdog timer?
No, MAX6770TAVD3+T does not include a watchdog timer. Watchdog functionality is present only in MAX6773/MAX6773B/MAX6774/MAX6774B variants. MAX6770TAVD3+T belongs to the ENABLE-only subgroup (like MAX6765/MAX6766/MAX6769/MAX6770) and provides only power-supply supervision via the RESET output.
What package type and thermal performance does MAX6770TAVD3+T use?
MAX6770TAVD3+T uses a 3mm × 3mm, 6-pin TDFN-EP package (outline 21-0137) with exposed pad. On a multilayer PCB, its thermal resistance is θJA = 42°C/W and θJC = 9°C/W, enabling up to 1.951W continuous power dissipation - sufficient for 100mA at 72V input in +85°C ambient with proper layout.
Is MAX6770TAVD3+T AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, MAX6770TAVD3+T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0, −40°C to +125°C). It appears in the official list of qualified parts: MAX6770TA_D_/V+. The "/V+" suffix in the ordering information confirms automotive qualification, and the device undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q100 Rev H standards.
How is the 50ms reset timeout implemented on MAX6770TAVD3+T?
The 50ms reset timeout on MAX6770TAVD3+T corresponds to the D3 option. It is implemented by connecting a capacitor between the TIMEOUT pin and GND. For D3, the typical timeout is 50ms (min 35ms, max 65ms), set by internal 1000nA ramp current and 1.22V threshold. No external resistor is needed - only the capacitor value determines timing.
