Product details
Overview
MAX6791TPTD1+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 across a 5V–72V input range, features 68μA quiescent current, fixed 5V/3.3V output options, and active-low open-drain RESET with 92.5% reset threshold-used in engine control units to maintain microcontroller stability during load-dump transients.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6791TPTD1+T datasheet, MAX6791TPTD1+T pinout, MAX6791TPTD1+T application, or MAX6791TPTD1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-enable control (ENABLE1/ENABLE2), HOLD input for self-holding circuit implementation, windowed watchdog timer (MAX6791-specific), thermal protection up to +125°C, and AEC-Q100-qualified operation in harsh automotive environments.
Technical Context
The MAX6791TPTD1+T implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 (adjustable or preset 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V) and fixed 5V OUT2. Its supervisory block includes a windowed watchdog timer with selectable fast/slow fault detection (tWD1/tWD2), RESET assertion triggered by either output undervoltage or watchdog timeout, and capacitor-adjustable reset timeout via CSRT.
It integrates reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven pFET, power-fail monitoring through PFI/PFO with 1.231V internal reference, and HOLD functionality that latches regulator ON after initial enable-enabling ignition-key-triggered hold without external components. All logic inputs (ENABLE1/ENABLE2/HOLD/WDI) are referenced to OUT1/OUT for rail-to-rail compatibility.
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 systems (e.g., telematics) with minimal battery drain |
| Output Current | 150mA per output - supports dual-rail MCU + CAN transceiver powering from single IC |
| Dropout Voltage | 840mV typ at 100mA (dual) - maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.84V under full load |
| Reset Threshold | 92.5% of OUT1 nominal - ensures reliable µP reset before functional voltage collapse |
| Watchdog Type | Windowed (MAX6791 only) - detects both stuck-high and stuck-low WDI faults independently |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive deployment |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm, exposed pad), thermally enhanced for 2.7W dissipation at +70°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | OUT1 | Main regulator output (preset or adjustable 1.8V–11V); requires ≥10µF ceramic bypass |
| 3 | SET1 | Feedback node for OUT1; GND = preset voltage, resistive divider = adjustable mode |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output; asserts low when PFI < 1.231V (e.g., battery sag detection) |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust; connect to OUT1 for fixed 280ms, or capacitor to GND for scaling |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust; same configuration as CSWT, supporting 35μs–200ms fixed/adjustable periods |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; tied to exposed pad for thermal conduction |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; driven low on OUT1 undervoltage or watchdog fault |
| 9,10 | WDS1, WDS0 | Watchdog window ratio select (MAX6791 only); set 8:1, 16:1, or 64:1 fast/slow fault windows |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge must occur within tWD1–tWD2 window to avoid reset |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low latch control; forces OUT1 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low |
| 13,14 | OUT2 | Fixed 5V secondary output; independent of OUT1 regulation and enable control |
| 15 | ENABLE2 | Active-high enable for OUT2; internal 0.5μA pulldown allows direct MCU GPIO drive |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; use resistive divider to set custom brownout threshold |
| 17,18 | IN | Main input supply pins; require ≥1μF ceramic bypass to GND near package |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate driver; sinks current to turn on external reverse-battery protection MOSFET |
| 20 | ENABLE1 | Active-high enable for OUT1; internal 0.5μA pulldown enables direct MCU control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed Watchdog Timer | Enables detection of both frozen and oscillating microcontroller clocks-critical for ASIL-B safety compliance |
| Self-Holding Circuit Support | HOLD input eliminates need for external latch or relay in ignition-controlled power sequencing |
| Reverse-Battery Protection Drive | GATEP output directly drives p-channel MOSFET, removing series diode losses and heat buildup |
| Dual Independent Enables | ENABLE1 and ENABLE2 allow separate control of OUT1 and OUT2-enabling staggered power-up sequences |
| Capacitor-Adjustable Timing | CSRT and CSWT pins support field-tunable reset/watchdog timeouts without firmware changes |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) |

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6791TPTD1+T support?
The MAX6791TPTD1+T supports preset OUT1 voltages of 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5.0V (selected by grounding SET1), and an adjustable range from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistor divider. OUT2 is fixed at 5.0V. These configurations are confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Pin Description section of the MAX6791TPTD1+T datasheet.
Does the MAX6791TPTD1+T include reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6791TPTD1+T includes integrated reverse-battery protection via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET to block reverse current flow. This eliminates the need for series Schottky diodes and reduces power loss-confirmed in the Detailed Description and Functional Diagram sections of the MAX6791TPTD1+T datasheet.
How does the HOLD function operate in the MAX6791TPTD1+T?
The HOLD input in the MAX6791TPTD1+T is active-low and enables self-holding behavior: once ENABLE1 turns ON OUT1, pulling HOLD low latches the regulator ON-even if ENABLE1 later goes low. Releasing HOLD shuts down OUT1. This behavior is explicitly documented in the Enable and Hold Inputs section and Table 3 of the MAX6791TPTD1+T datasheet.
What is the watchdog timeout configuration for the MAX6791TPTD1+T?
The MAX6791TPTD1+T features a windowed watchdog timer with two timeout thresholds: fast fault (tWD1) and slow fault (tWD2). WDS0 and WDS1 pins select ratios of 8:1, 16:1, or 64:1 between them. Timeout periods are either fixed (via CSWT = OUT1) or capacitor-adjustable-details are provided in the Watchdog Timer section and Table 4 of the MAX6791TPTD1+T datasheet.
Is the MAX6791TPTD1+T qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MAX6791TPTD1+T is AEC-Q100 qualified and specified for −40°C to +125°C operation. While the base MAX6791TPTD1+T variant is not explicitly marked "/V" in the Ordering Information table, its electrical specifications, thermal performance, and packaging (TQFN-EP) align with automotive-grade requirements-and it shares the same qualification status as /V-marked variants like MAX6795TPLD2/V+ per Maxim's product family documentation.
