Product details
Overview
MAX6791TPTD2+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions, designed for automotive systems requiring robust operation under load-dump (up to 72V) and ultra-low quiescent current (68μA). It delivers up to 150mA per output (OUT1/OUT2), features fixed 5V OUT2 and adjustable/fixed OUT1 (e.g., 3.3V), includes push-pull RESET, windowed watchdog timer, and HOLD-enabled self-holding circuitry - deployed in engine control units and ADAS power domains.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6791TPTD2+ datasheet, MAX6791TPTD2+ pinout, MAX6791TPTD2+ application, or MAX6791TPTD2+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +125°C AEC-Q100–capable operation, 5mm × 5mm TQFN-20 EP package with thermal dissipation up to 2.7W, dual enable inputs (ENABLE1/ENABLE2), and reset threshold tied to 87.5% of OUT1 nominal voltage.
Technical Context
The MAX6791TPTD2+ implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 supports preset (3.3V) or adjustable (1.8V–11V) output via SET1 feedback, while OUT2 is fixed at 5V. Its supervisory block integrates a windowed watchdog timer (with selectable fast/slow fault detection thresholds), capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (D2 = 12.5ms), and active-low RESET with push-pull drive capability.
It uses internal 1.231V reference for PFI comparator and 124mV/62mV thresholds for Dual-Mode™ SET logic. The HOLD input enables latch-up behavior without external components, and GATEP drives an external pFET for reverse-battery protection - all operating across 5V–72V input with thermal/short-circuit/overvoltage protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 72V - withstands automotive load-dump transients without external clamping. |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA typical - enables always-on functionality in battery-sensitive automotive modules. |
| Output Current | 150mA per output (OUT1 & OUT2) - sufficient for MCU cores, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces. |
| Reset Threshold | 87.5% of OUT1 nominal voltage - ensures reliable microcontroller reset during brownout. |
| Reset Timeout | 12.5ms (D2 option) - meets automotive boot-time requirements for deterministic system initialization. |
| Watchdog Type | Windowed (MAX6791/MAX6792 only) - detects both stuck-high and stuck-low WDI faults. |
| Package | 20-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) - thermally enhanced for continuous operation at +125°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6791TPTD2+ is housed in a 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN package (5mm × 5mm, exposed pad), rated for 2.7W power dissipation and specified from –40°C to +125°C. The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | OUT1 | Main regulator output (3.3V preset per TD2 suffix); requires ≥10μF ceramic output capacitor. |
| 3 | SET1 | Feedback node for OUT1 - grounded for fixed 3.3V, or connected to resistive divider for adjustable output. |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output - asserts low when PFI falls below 1.231V threshold. |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust - tied to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout (TD2 implies D2 reset, not watchdog). |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust - tied to OUT1 for fixed 12.5ms timeout (D2 code per ordering guide). |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - connects to EP for thermal path and noise control. |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly; no pull-up required. |
| 9,10 | WDS1, WDS0 | Watchdog window ratio select - set to specific logic states (e.g., WDS1=low, WDS0=high) to configure window mode. |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input - requires periodic edge transitions; failure triggers RESET assertion. |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low latch control - forces OUT1 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low, enabling ignition-key hold circuits. |
| 13,14 | OUT2 | Fixed 5V auxiliary output - powers peripherals like LIN transceivers or analog sensors. |
| 15 | ENABLE2 | Active-high enable for OUT2 - independent control allows staged power sequencing. |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input - accepts resistor divider to set custom undervoltage warning threshold. |
| 17,18 | IN | Main input supply pins - bypassed with ≥1μF capacitor to GND near device. |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate driver - controls external high-side p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection. |
| 20 | ENABLE1 | Active-high enable for OUT1 - internally pulled down; driven high by ignition signal or MCU GPIO. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed Watchdog Timer | Enables detection of both slow (excessive period) and fast (insufficient period) WDI faults - critical for safety-critical automotive firmware monitoring. |
| Dual Independent Enables | ENABLE1 and ENABLE2 allow separate sequencing of OUT1 (MCU core rail) and OUT2 (peripheral rail), reducing inrush current and improving system startup reliability. |
| Self-Holding Circuit via HOLD | Eliminates need for external latching hardware - HOLD low after initial ENABLE1 assertion maintains OUT1 ON until explicitly released. |
| Reverse-Battery Protection Driver | GATEP output drives external pFET to block reverse polarity without diode voltage drop or power loss - preserves efficiency in 12V/24V vehicle systems. |
| Thermally Enhanced TQFN | 5mm × 5mm package with exposed pad dissipates up to 2.7W - sustains full 150mA load at +125°C ambient without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output automotive LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6792TPTD2+ | Identical pinout, package, and electrical specs; differs only in watchdog window ratio configuration (WDS0/WDS1 logic mapping). | No functional difference in reset, enable, or regulation behavior; compatible in same PCB layout. | Select MAX6792TPTD2+ only if specific watchdog window ratio (e.g., 16:1) is required per firmware timing constraints. |
| TPS7B8733QDDARQ1 | Single-output (3.3V), 300mA, 3V–40V input, 35μA IQ; lacks dual output, watchdog, HOLD, and PFI functions. | Suitable for simpler 3.3V-only loads but cannot replace dual-rail or supervisory functionality of MAX6791TPTD2+. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical 3.3V point-of-load where supervisory features are omitted. |
Compared with MAX6792TPTD2+, the MAX6791TPTD2+ offers identical regulation and supervision but with distinct watchdog window logic mapping; versus TPS7B8733QDDARQ1, it provides dual outputs, integrated watchdog, and HOLD latching - making it uniquely suited for complex automotive subsystems requiring coordinated power and safety monitoring.

FAQ
What output voltage does MAX6791TPTD2+ deliver on OUT1?
The MAX6791TPTD2+ delivers a fixed 3.3V output on OUT1, as indicated by the "T" in the TD2 suffix (T = 3.3V per Maxim's ordering guide). OUT2 is fixed at 5V. SET1 is grounded internally for this variant, disabling adjustable-mode operation.
Does MAX6791TPTD2+ support capacitor-adjustable reset timeout?
Yes, MAX6791TPTD2+ supports capacitor-adjustable reset timeout via the CSRT pin. However, the "D2" suffix indicates factory-configured 12.5ms fixed timeout (CSRT tied to OUT1). To use adjustable timeout, leave CSRT unconnected from OUT1 and add external capacitor to GND per datasheet Figure 11.
How is the reset threshold determined for MAX6791TPTD2+?
The reset threshold for MAX6791TPTD2+ is 87.5% of the OUT1 nominal voltage, per the "D" in TD2 (D = 87.5% threshold). With OUT1 = 3.3V, the reset asserts when VOUT1 drops below ~2.888V. This threshold is internally trimmed and stable over temperature (±0.5% typical).
Can MAX6791TPTD2+ drive a p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection?
Yes, MAX6791TPTD2+ includes a dedicated GATEP output that drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. When IN is reversed, GATEP pulls low to turn off the MOSFET, blocking reverse current - eliminating the need for lossy series diodes in 12V/24V automotive systems.
Is MAX6791TPTD2+ qualified for automotive use?
Yes, MAX6791TPTD2+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0: –40°C to +125°C), with built-in thermal shutdown (+165°C), short-circuit protection, and output overvoltage protection (105–110% of VOUT). Its 5V–72V input range and 68μA quiescent current meet stringent automotive electrical requirements.
