Product details
Overview
MAX6791TPTD3+ 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 (this variant: 3.3V), and a 50ms reset timeout period - enabling robust operation during load-dump transients in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6791TPTD3+ datasheet, MAX6791TPTD3+ pinout, MAX6791TPTD3+ application, or MAX6791TPTD3+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-enable architecture (ENABLE1/ENABLE2), HOLD input for self-holding circuits, windowed watchdog timer (MAX6791-specific), and AEC-Q100-compatible thermal performance up to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6791TPTD3+ implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 (adjustable or preset 3.3V) and OUT2 (fixed 5V), each with dedicated enable inputs and shared supervisory logic. Its reset circuit asserts low when OUT1 drops below 87.5% of nominal (2.888V at 3.3V), with a fixed 50ms timeout after recovery.
It integrates a windowed watchdog timer (tWD1 = 50ms fast timeout, tWD2 = 400ms slow timeout) selectable via WDS0/WDS1 pins, plus reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven pFET - all operating within -40°C to +125°C with thermal shutdown at +165°C.
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 - enables always-on functionality in battery-sensitive systems like telematics. |
| Output Configuration | Dual output: OUT1 = 3.3V (±1.5% over temp), OUT2 = 5V (±1.5%) - powers MCU core and I/O rails simultaneously. |
| Reset Threshold | 87.5% of OUT1 (2.888V nominal) - ensures deterministic brownout detection before MCU malfunction. |
| Reset Timeout | 50ms (D3 option) - provides sufficient hold time for microcontroller initialization sequences. |
| Watchdog Type | Windowed (MAX6791-specific) - detects both stuck-high and stuck-low WDI faults, critical for safety-critical firmware monitoring. |
| Package Thermal Dissipation | 2.7W in 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP - supports continuous 150mA operation at +105°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6791TPTD3+ uses a 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND for optimal heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 (Pins 1,2) | Primary regulated output | 3.3V fixed output (this variant); requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| SET1 (Pin 3) | Feedback reference input | Grounded for preset 3.3V; connects to resistive divider for adjustable outputs. |
| PFO (Pin 4) | Power-fail comparator output | Open-drain active-low signal triggered when PFI falls below 1.231V threshold. |
| CSRT (Pin 6) | Reset timeout adjustment | Connected to OUT1 for fixed 50ms timeout (D3 code); capacitor to GND enables user tuning. |
| HOLD (Pin 12) | Regulator hold control | Active-low input enabling self-holding behavior - keeps OUT1 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low. |
| ENABLE1/ENABLE2 (Pins 20/15) | Independent regulator enables | Active-high logic inputs; each internally pulled down (0.5μA sink) for default OFF state. |
| GATEP (Pin 19) | pFET gate driver | Drives external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection without diode loss. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog timer | Enables dual-fault detection (fast/slow WDI transitions) - eliminates single-point failure modes in ASIL-B systems. |
| Self-holding circuit support | HOLD input allows ignition-key-triggered latching without external components - reduces BOM count in body control modules. |
| Reverse-battery protection drive | GATEP output controls external pFET to block -14V reverse polarity - replaces lossy series diodes in 12V/24V automotive systems. |
| Power-fail comparator interface | PFI/PFO pair enables programmable undervoltage warning using resistor divider - supports graceful shutdown in infotainment head units. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified variants available | MAX6795TPLD2/V+ and MAX6795TPSD2/V+ are certified - confirms suitability for automotive power domains requiring qualification traceability. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6792TPTD3+ | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but includes windowed watchdog with selectable ratio (8/16/64) - no D3 suffix variation in reset timeout. | Preferred where fine-grained watchdog window tuning is required beyond fixed 50ms reset. | Select MAX6792TPTD3+ only if ratio-selectable watchdog (via WDS0/WDS1) is needed; otherwise MAX6791TPTD3+ offers identical functionality at lower cost. |
| TLV70733PDQNR | Single-output, 200mA, 2.5V–5.5V input, no watchdog/reset - lacks supervision, reverse-battery drive, or automotive temperature range. | Only suitable for non-automotive, low-voltage, non-safety-critical applications. | Not a functional substitute: missing dual output, 72V tolerance, HOLD, GATEP, and AEC-Q100 capability - avoid for automotive use. |
Compared with MAX6792TPTD3+, MAX6791TPTD3+ provides identical dual-regulator performance and 50ms reset but omits ratio-selectable watchdog windows - making it optimal for cost-sensitive designs where fixed-window supervision suffices. TLV70733PDQNR lacks critical automotive features entirely and cannot replace MAX6791TPTD3+ in qualified systems.

FAQ
What output voltage does MAX6791TPTD3+ provide?
MAX6791TPTD3+ provides a fixed 3.3V output on OUT1 and a fixed 5V output on OUT2. The "T" in the part number denotes 3.3V, and "D3" specifies a 50ms reset timeout period. Output accuracy is ±1.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range, verified per Maxim's production test data.
Does MAX6791TPTD3+ support reverse-battery protection?
Yes, MAX6791TPTD3+ includes integrated reverse-battery protection via the GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. This eliminates the need for series diodes and reduces voltage drop to <100mV at 150mA - a key feature confirmed in the Functional Diagram and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections of the datasheet.
What is the function of the HOLD pin on MAX6791TPTD3+?
The HOLD pin on MAX6791TPTD3+ enables self-holding behavior: when pulled low after initial power-up, it keeps OUT1/OUT2 enabled even if ENABLE1/ENABLE2 is subsequently deasserted. This allows ignition-switch-triggered latching without external components - a feature explicitly documented in the "Enable and Hold Inputs" section and Table 3 of the datasheet.
Is MAX6791TPTD3+ AEC-Q100 qualified?
MAX6791TPTD3+ itself is not individually listed as AEC-Q100 qualified in the datasheet; however, related variants (e.g., MAX6795TPLD2/V+) are explicitly marked "/V+" and certified. The MAX6791TPTD3+ shares the same 20-pin TQFN-EP package, -40°C to +125°C rating, and automotive-grade process - making it suitable for automotive applications where full qualification is managed at system level.
How is the reset timeout period set on MAX6791TPTD3+?
The reset timeout period on MAX6791TPTD3+ is set to 50ms (D3 option) by connecting the CSRT pin to OUT1, as defined in Table 2 of the datasheet. This fixed timeout is internally trimmed and stable over temperature (±10% variation from -40°C to +125°C), eliminating the need for external timing components while ensuring reliable MCU initialization timing.
