Product details
Overview
MAX6791TPSD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions, designed for automotive power management. It delivers up to 150mA per output (OUT1 and OUT2), features a fixed 3.3V OUT1, fixed 5V OUT2, 68μA quiescent current, and operates across 5V–72V input range-enabling robust operation during load-dump transients in 12V/24V vehicle systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6791TPSD3+T datasheet, MAX6791TPSD3+T pinout, MAX6791TPSD3+T application, or MAX6791TPSD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-rail 3.3V/5V output capability, 50ms capacitor-adjustable reset timeout, windowed watchdog timer (MAX6791-specific), HOLD self-latching control, and AEC-Q100-aligned thermal performance up to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6791TPSD3+T implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 is preset to 3.3V (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C) and adjustable via SET1; OUT2 is fixed at 5V. Its supervisory block includes a push-pull or open-drain RESET output with 87.5% reset threshold (relative to OUT1), 50ms fixed reset timeout (D3 option), and a windowed watchdog with selectable fast/slow fault detection (tWD1/tWD2).
Control logic integrates ENABLE1/ENABLE2 for independent output enable, HOLD for self-holding latching, WD-DIS/WDS0/WDS1 for watchdog configuration, and PFI/PFO for programmable power-fail monitoring. All functions are hardened for automotive ambient conditions, including thermal shutdown at +165°C with 20°C hysteresis and reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven pFET.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 72V - withstands automotive load-dump surges without external clamping |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA typical - enables always-on ECU modules with ultra-low standby power |
| Output Current | 150mA per output (OUT1 & OUT2) - supports dual-rail microcontroller + peripheral biasing |
| Output Voltages | OUT1 = 3.3V (preset), OUT2 = 5V (fixed) - matches common MCU I/O and analog subsystem rails |
| Reset Timeout | 50ms (D3 option) - ensures reliable µP initialization after brownout recovery |
| Watchdog Type | Windowed (MAX6791 only) - detects both stuck-high and stuck-low WDI faults |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6791TPSD3+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad (EP) connected internally to GND. The package supports up to 2.7W continuous dissipation and enables PCB-level thermal management via EP soldering to ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | OUT1 | 3.3V regulated output (preset); requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| 3 | SET1 | Feedback node for OUT1; grounded for 3.3V preset, resistively divided for adjustable output |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output; asserts low when PFI < 1.231V (configurable threshold) |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust; tied to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout or capacitor-grounded for adjustment |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust; tied to OUT1 for fixed 50ms (D3) timeout or capacitor-grounded |
| 7 | GND | Power and signal reference; connects to EP for thermal conduction |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts when OUT1 drops below 87.5% nominal or watchdog fault occurs |
| 9,10 | WDS1, WDS0 | Watchdog window ratio select inputs; configure fast/slow fault thresholds or disable watchdog |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge must occur within tWD1–tWD2 window to avoid reset assertion |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low latching control; forces OUT1/OUT2 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low |
| 13,14 | OUT2 | Fixed 5V output; supplies secondary loads (e.g., CAN transceivers, sensors) |
| 15 | ENABLE2 | Active-high enable for OUT2; internal 0.5μA pulldown allows direct MCU GPIO control |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; set threshold via resistor divider referenced to 1.231V internal reference |
| 17,18 | IN | Main regulator input; bypassed with ≥1μF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate driver; controls external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection |
| 20 | ENABLE1 | Active-high enable for OUT1; internal 0.5μA pulldown enables simple ON/OFF control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent outputs | 3.3V (OUT1) + 5V (OUT2) rails eliminate need for second regulator in body-control modules |
| Windowed watchdog timer | Detects both slow (tWDI > tWD2) and fast (tWDI < tWD1) WDI faults-critical for safety-critical firmware monitoring |
| HOLD self-latching function | Enables ignition-key-triggered power sequencing without external latch circuitry or MCU intervention |
| Reverse-battery protection drive | GATEP output directly drives pFET gate, removing series diode losses and enabling >95% efficiency at 150mA |
| AEC-Q100 alignment | Qualified per AEC-Q100 Rev H stress testing (HTOL, TC, UHAST) - validated for automotive production use |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output automotive regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6792TPSD3+T | Same pinout and features, but includes dual-mode SET1 threshold (124mV/62mV) for tighter output regulation at light loads | Better suited for low-ILOAD sensor nodes where 1.8V–3.3V accuracy at 1mA matters | Select MAX6792TPSD3+T if output voltage stability below 10mA is critical; otherwise MAX6791TPSD3+T offers identical functionality at lower cost |
| TLV70733PDQNR | Single 3.3V output, 5.5V max input, no watchdog or RESET, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks dual-rail, supervision, high-voltage capability - only suitable for non-automotive, low-input-voltage auxiliary rails | Use TLV70733PDQNR only for cost-sensitive, non-safety, ≤5.5V consumer applications; not a functional substitute for MAX6791TPSD3+T |
Compared with MAX6792TPSD3+T and TLV70733PDQNR, the MAX6791TPSD3+T uniquely combines dual 3.3V/5V outputs, 72V input tolerance, windowed watchdog, and HOLD latching in one AEC-Q100-aligned package-making it irreplaceable for automotive domain controllers requiring supervised dual-rail power.

FAQ
What output voltages does the MAX6791TPSD3+T provide?
The MAX6791TPSD3+T provides two fixed outputs: OUT1 = 3.3V (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C) and OUT2 = 5V (±2.5%). The 3.3V output is selected by grounding the SET1 pin; OUT2 is internally fixed and requires no external components. Both outputs support up to 150mA continuous load current.
How is the reset timeout period configured on the MAX6791TPSD3+T?
The MAX6791TPSD3+T uses the D3 suffix to indicate a factory-configured 50ms reset timeout period. This is implemented by connecting the CSRT pin to OUT1 internally. For field-adjustable timeout, connect a capacitor from CSRT to GND-the timeout scales linearly with capacitance (e.g., 15nF ≈ 50ms).
Does the MAX6791TPSD3+T support reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6791TPSD3+T includes dedicated GATEP output that drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET to block reverse current flow. When reverse battery is applied, GATEP pulls low to turn off the pFET, protecting downstream circuitry without diode voltage drop or power loss.
What is the function of the HOLD pin on the MAX6791TPSD3+T?
The HOLD pin on the MAX6791TPSD3+T enables self-holding behavior: when pulled low after initial power-up, it keeps OUT1/OUT2 enabled even if ENABLE1/ENABLE2 returns low. Releasing HOLD (to high or open) shuts down the outputs. This eliminates external latch circuitry in ignition-controlled systems.
Is the MAX6791TPSD3+T qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MAX6791TPSD3+T is built to automotive-grade reliability standards. It operates across -40°C to +125°C, includes thermal shutdown (+165°C) with 20°C hysteresis, and is manufactured using processes aligned with AEC-Q100 stress testing requirements-making it suitable for under-hood and cabin applications.
