Product details
Overview
MAX6792TPLD2+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions, designed for automotive systems requiring robust operation across 5V–72V input and -40°C to +125°C ambient. It delivers up to 150mA per output (OUT1/OUT2), features fixed 5V OUT2 and adjustable/fixed OUT1 (e.g., 5V or 3.3V), includes windowed watchdog timer, active-low RESET with capacitor-adjustable timeout (D2 = 12.5ms), and operates at only 68μA quiescent current. Used in engine control units and ADAS power domains where load-dump resilience and microcontroller supervision are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6792TPLD2+T datasheet, MAX6792TPLD2+T pinout, MAX6792TPLD2+T application, or MAX6792TPLD2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-regulator architecture with independent enable inputs (ENABLE1/ENABLE2), HOLD functionality for self-holding circuits, 20-pin TQFN-EP package with exposed pad, and AEC-Q100-compliant thermal performance up to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The MAX6792TPLD2+T implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 supports preset (5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) or adjustable (1.8V–11V) output via SET1 feedback, while OUT2 is fixed at 5V. Its windowed watchdog monitors WDI transitions with fast/slow fault detection (tWD1/tWD2), selectable via WDS0/WDS1 logic inputs, and asserts RESET for the fixed D2 reset timeout period (8.75ms–16.25ms).
Supervision includes a power-fail comparator (PFI threshold = 1.231V ±0.032V), open-drain PFO output, and RESET with 92.5% (OUT1) or 87.5% (OUT2) reset threshold tracking. Thermal shutdown activates at +165°C with 20°C hysteresis, and reverse-battery protection is enabled via GATEP-driven pFET gate drive.
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) - supports dual-rail MCU + peripheral powering |
| Reset Timeout (D2) | 8.75ms / 12.5ms / 16.25ms - factory-configured fixed delay for deterministic brownout recovery |
| Watchdog Type | Windowed (min/max) - detects both stuck-high and stuck-low WDI faults independently |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments |
| Package | 20-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) - thermally enhanced layout with 2.7W dissipation capability |
Pinout & Package
MAX6792TPLD2+T is housed in a 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) package with exposed pad (EP) connected internally to GND for optimal thermal conduction to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 | Regulator 1 Output | Primary regulated output (preset or adjustable); max 150mA; requires ≥10μF ceramic bypass to GND |
| SET1 | OUT1 Feedback Input | Connect to GND for preset voltage; connect to resistive divider for adjustable output (1.8V–11V) |
| PFO | Power-Fail Comparator Output | Open-drain active-low signal asserting when PFI falls below 1.231V threshold |
| CSRT | Reset Timeout Adjust Input | Connected to OUT1 for fixed D2 timeout (12.5ms typ); capacitor-to-GND enables adjustment |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog/digital circuitry; EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane |
| RESET | Supervisory Reset Output | Active-low push-pull or open-drain output; asserts when OUT1 drops below 92.5% nominal |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Monitors pulse train; windowed timeout triggers RESET on fast/slow transition violations |
| HOLD | Regulator Hold Control | Active-low input enabling self-holding behavior: forces OUT1 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low |
| OUT2 | Regulator 2 Output | Fixed 5V output; max 150mA; requires ≥10μF ceramic bypass to GND |
| ENABLE2 | OUT2 Enable Input | Active-high control for OUT2; internally pulled down (0.5μA) - drive high to activate |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed Watchdog Timer | Enables detection of both short-duration (tWDI < tWD1) and long-duration (tWDI > tWD2) WDI faults, preventing false resets from noise or timing jitter |
| Dual Independent Enables | ENABLE1 controls OUT1; ENABLE2 controls OUT2 - allows selective power sequencing of MCU core and I/O rails |
| Self-Holding Circuit Support | HOLD input eliminates need for external latch components; sustains regulator output during ignition key-off transitions |
| Reverse-Battery Protection Drive | GATEP pin drives external p-channel MOSFET gate - replaces series diode with <100mV drop, improving efficiency |
| Integrated Power-Fail Detection | PFI/PFO pair provides early warning of battery sag or supply collapse, enabling controlled software shutdown before brownout |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6793TPLD2+T | Dual-output variant with same pinout and specs, but lacks windowed watchdog (standard min-time watchdog only) | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where fast watchdog fault detection is unnecessary | Select MAX6793TPLD2+T if windowed watchdog is not required and BOM simplification is prioritized |
| TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 | Single-output 500mA LDO (no dual output), fixed 5V only, no windowed watchdog, but offers higher PSRR (70dB @ 1kHz) | Applicable only where single-rail power and superior noise rejection outweigh dual-output need | Choose TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 when powering noise-sensitive analog sensors from 5V rail and dual outputs are unused |
Compared with MAX6792TPLD2+T, MAX6793TPLD2+T removes windowed watchdog complexity while retaining identical dual-regulator functionality and pin compatibility, whereas TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 trades dual output and supervision depth for higher current and noise immunity in single-rail use cases.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6792TPLD2+T support?
The MAX6792TPLD2+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 "L" in the part number suffix indicates a 5V preset for OUT1, confirmed by the D2 reset configuration in MAX6792TPLD2+T.
How does the HOLD function operate in the MAX6792TPLD2+T?
In the MAX6792TPLD2+T, the HOLD input is active-low. When driven low after initial power-up, it forces OUT1 to remain ON even if ENABLE1 is subsequently pulled low - enabling self-holding without external latching components. Releasing HOLD (to high or open) shuts down OUT1. HOLD is internally pulled up to OUT1 with a 2µA current source, so leaving it unconnected defaults to standard ENABLE1 control.
What is the meaning of 'D2' in the MAX6792TPLD2+T part number?
The 'D2' in MAX6792TPLD2+T specifies the factory-programmed reset timeout period: D2 corresponds to 8.75ms (min), 12.5ms (typ), or 16.25ms (max) - a fixed duration applied after OUT1 rises above its reset threshold before RESET deasserts. This value is set at wafer test and cannot be altered externally without modifying CSRT connection.
Does the MAX6792TPLD2+T include reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6792TPLD2+T integrates reverse-battery protection circuitry via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. This eliminates the need for a series Schottky diode, reducing forward voltage drop to <100mV and improving efficiency during normal operation while blocking reverse current during battery misconnection.
Is the MAX6792TPLD2+T AEC-Q100 qualified?
The MAX6792TPLD2+T itself is not explicitly listed as AEC-Q100 qualified in the provided documentation; however, related variants (e.g., MAX6795TPLD2/V+) carry the "/V" suffix denoting automotive qualification. MAX6792TPLD2+T shares the same die, package, and -40°C to +125°C specification, and is widely deployed in automotive applications - consult Maxim's official qualification report for formal AEC-Q100 status confirmation.
