Product details
Overview
MAX6791TPVD0+T 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), supports fixed 5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V or adjustable 1.8V–11V outputs, and features active-low RESET with 35μs delay and capacitor-adjustable timeout. Used in engine control units (ECUs) and body control modules where supply stability and microprocessor supervision are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6791TPVD0+T datasheet, MAX6791TPVD0+T pinout, MAX6791TPVD0+T application, or MAX6791TPVD0+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-regulator architecture, -40°C to +125°C AEC-Q100–compatible operation, 20-pin TQFN-EP package with thermal pad, and integrated windowed watchdog timer (available on MAX6791/MAX6792 variants).
Technical Context
The MAX6791TPVD0+T implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 (adjustable or preset) and OUT2 (fixed 5V), each with dedicated enable (ENABLE1/ENABLE2) and shared HOLD functionality enabling self-holding without external circuitry. Its reset logic monitors OUT1 voltage with 92.5% (L/M) or 87.5% (T/S/Z/Y/W/V) threshold tracking and asserts RESET low for a user-selectable timeout (35μs–200ms via CSRT).
It integrates a windowed watchdog timer with selectable fast/slow fault detection (tWD1/tWD2), disable capability via WD-DIS or WDS0/WDS1, and reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven pFET. All supervisory functions operate across the full -40°C to +125°C junction temperature range with guaranteed performance at extremes.
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 at VIN = 8V - enables always-on ECU subsystems with minimal battery drain |
| Output Current | 150mA per output (OUT1 & OUT2) - sufficient for MCU cores, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces |
| Dropout Voltage | 840mV typ at 100mA (dual mode) - maintains regulation during cold-crank (6V battery) with 5V OUT1 |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive temperature extremes |
| Watchdog Timeout | Fixed 280ms min or capacitor-adjustable - configurable fault response for diverse microcontroller timing requirements |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 stress test conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6791TPVD0+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin TQFN-EP package (5mm × 5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad (EP) connected internally to GND for optimal PCB heat dissipation (2.7W continuous power handling).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | OUT1 | Dual-regulator primary output: fixed 5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V or adjustable 1.8V–11V; requires ≥10μF output capacitance |
| 3 | SET1 | Feedback node for OUT1 - grounded for preset voltages; connected to resistive divider for adjustable operation |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output - asserts low when PFI falls below 1.231V threshold (35μs propagation) |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust - tied to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout; capacitor-to-GND enables user-defined period |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust - tied to OUT1 for fixed 35μs/3.125ms/12.5ms/50ms/200ms options; capacitor extends duration |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low reset output - push-pull or open-drain; asserts when OUT1 drops below threshold or watchdog fault occurs |
| 9, 10 | WDS1, WDS0 | Windowed watchdog ratio select - sets tWD1/tWD2 thresholds (8:1, 16:1, 64:1) or disables watchdog |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising/falling edge resets timer; missing edge within tWD triggers RESET assertion |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold control - forces OUT1 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low; releases shutdown when deasserted |
| 13, 14 | OUT2 | Secondary fixed 5V output - independent of OUT1; requires ≥10μF output capacitance |
| 15 | ENABLE2 | Active-high enable for OUT2 - internal 0.5μA pulldown allows direct MCU GPIO control |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input - set via resistor divider to trigger PFO at custom battery/line voltage threshold |
| 17, 18 | IN | Main regulator input - bypassed with 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND; accepts 5V–72V |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate driver - controls external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection (no series diode loss) |
| 20 | ENABLE1 | Active-high enable for OUT1 - internal 0.5μA pulldown enables direct MCU GPIO control |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical GND connection - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 68μA enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., telematics wake-up circuits) |
| Dual independent regulators | OUT1 (configurable) + OUT2 (fixed 5V) support separate power domains for MCU core and peripherals |
| Integrated windowed watchdog | MAX6791-specific tWD1/tWD2 detection prevents false resets from jittery or stalled microcontroller clocks |
| Self-holding circuit support | HOLD input eliminates need for external latch components in ignition-controlled power sequencing |

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6791TPVD0+T support?
The MAX6791TPVD0+T supports fixed output voltages of 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V on OUT1, and a fixed 5V on OUT2. OUT1 can also be adjusted from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistive divider connected to SET1. The "D" in MAX6791TPVD0+T indicates a 3.3V preset for OUT1 and 87.5% reset threshold (S grade), confirmed by Maxim's ordering guide.
Does the MAX6791TPVD0+T include reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6791TPVD0+T includes integrated reverse-battery protection via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. This eliminates the need for a series Schottky diode, reducing voltage drop and power loss. The GATEP output is rated for ±12V relative to IN and supports driving standard automotive pFETs.
How is the reset timeout period configured on the MAX6791TPVD0+T?
The reset timeout period on the MAX6791TPVD0+T is selected using the CSRT pin: connecting CSRT to OUT1 selects one of five factory-fixed durations (35μs, 3.125ms, 12.5ms, 50ms, or 200ms), while connecting a capacitor from CSRT to GND enables user-adjustable timeout. The "D0" suffix in MAX6791TPVD0+T specifies the 35μs fixed option.
Is the MAX6791TPVD0+T AEC-Q100 qualified?
The MAX6791TPVD0+T itself is not individually listed in AEC-Q100 reports, but it shares the same die, process, and qualification data as AEC-Q100–certified variants MAX6795TPLD2/V+ and MAX6795TPSD2/V+. Its -40°C to +125°C operating range, thermal shutdown, and automotive-grade packaging align with AEC-Q100 stress test requirements.
What is the function of the HOLD pin on the MAX6791TPVD0+T?
The HOLD pin on the MAX6791TPVD0+T is an active-low input that enables self-holding behavior: once OUT1 is enabled, pulling HOLD low keeps the regulator active even if ENABLE1 returns low. Releasing HOLD (high or floating) shuts down OUT1. This eliminates external latch circuitry in ignition-switched automotive power systems.
