Product details
Overview
MAX6792TPSD2+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, ultra-low-quiescent-current linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions, designed for automotive systems requiring robust 5V–72V input operation and AEC-Q100-compliant reliability. It delivers up to 150mA per output (OUT1/OUT2), features a 5V fixed OUT2 and adjustable/fixed OUT1 (e.g., 3.3V), includes windowed watchdog timer (tWD1 = 12.5ms min, tWD2 = 280ms min), and asserts open-drain RESET on voltage drop or watchdog fault - used in engine control units for microprocessor power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6792TPSD2+ datasheet, MAX6792TPSD2+ pinout, MAX6792TPSD2+ application, or MAX6792TPSD2+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin roles, automotive-grade thermal performance (−40°C to +125°C), reset timeout configuration (D2 = 12.5ms), and validated alternative options for dual-output high-voltage regulation with windowed watchdog capability.
Technical Context
The MAX6792TPSD2+ implements a dual-regulator architecture: OUT1 is adjustable (1.8V–11V) or preset (3.3V, per "S" suffix), while OUT2 is fixed at 5V. Its windowed watchdog uses WDS0/WDS1 inputs to select fast/slow timeout thresholds (tWD1/tWD2), enabling detection of both stuck-high and stuck-low microcontroller faults - distinct from standard single-threshold watchdogs.
Supervision logic integrates a reset generator with 87.5% reset threshold (relative to OUT1), capacitor-adjustable or fixed D2 (12.5ms) timeout, and independent power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) referenced to 1.231V. HOLD input enables self-holding behavior without external latching circuitry, critical for ignition-controlled power domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 72V - withstands automotive load-dump transients without external protection. |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA typical - enables always-on functionality in battery-sensitive applications like telematics. |
| Output Current | 150mA per output (OUT1 & OUT2) - supports dual-rail MCU + peripheral powering from single IC. |
| Reset Threshold | 87.5% of OUT1 nominal voltage - ensures reset assertion before logic supply violates VIH/VIL margins. |
| Reset Timeout | Fixed D2 = 12.5ms - guarantees minimum reset pulse width for reliable µP initialization. |
| Watchdog Type | Windowed (tWD1 = 12.5ms min, tWD2 = 280ms min) - detects both microcontroller lockup and excessive idle time. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6792TPSD2+ is housed in a 20-pin, 5mm × 5mm thermally enhanced TQFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP) connected internally to GND for low-junction-to-board thermal resistance (supports 2.7W dissipation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | OUT1 | Primary regulated output (3.3V preset, per "S"); requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 3 | SET1 | Feedback node for OUT1; grounded for 3.3V preset, or connected to resistive divider for adjustable output. |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output; asserts low when PFI < 1.231V - used for early battery-low warning. |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust input; tied to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout, or capacitor-to-GND for scaling. |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust input; tied to OUT1 for fixed D2 (12.5ms), or capacitor-to-GND for custom timing. |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; drives µP reset pin; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| 9,10 | WDS1, WDS0 | Watchdog window ratio select inputs; set to logic states per Table 4 to configure tWD1/tWD2 ratio. |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge must occur within tWD2 window to prevent reset assertion. |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold enable; forces OUT1 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low - enables ignition-key latching. |
| 13,14 | OUT2 | Secondary fixed 5V output; supplies auxiliary circuits (e.g., CAN transceiver, sensors) independently. |
| 15 | ENABLE2 | Active-high enable for OUT2; allows independent control of secondary rail (e.g., sleep-mode isolation). |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; connect to resistor divider from battery to trigger PFO at user-defined threshold. |
| 17,18 | IN | Main regulator input; bypass with 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND near pins to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate drive output; controls external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection (no diode loss). |
| 20 | ENABLE1 | Active-high enable for OUT1; internally pulled down (0.5μA), compatible with open-collector ignition signals. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Internally connected to GND; soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed Watchdog Timer | Enables detection of both microcontroller freeze (slow fault) and runaway loop (fast fault) via independent tWD1/tWD2 thresholds. |
| Self-Holding Circuit Support | HOLD input eliminates need for external latch or microcontroller GPIO to maintain regulator ON state after ignition key release. |
| Dual Independent Outputs | OUT1 (3.3V preset) powers main MCU core; OUT2 (fixed 5V) powers peripherals - reduces BOM count vs. two discrete regulators. |
| Reverse-Battery Protection Drive | GATEP output directly drives pFET gate, replacing lossy series diode and enabling >99% efficiency during normal operation. |
| Automotive Thermal Robustness | 5mm × 5mm TQFN dissipates 2.7W continuously - sustains 150mA loads at +125°C ambient without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output high-voltage regulator with supervisory functions applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6794TPSD2+ | Dual-output variant with identical pinout, 3.3V/5V outputs, and same windowed watchdog; differs only in internal SET1 threshold calibration (±0.5% vs ±0.8% for MAX6792). | Used where tighter output voltage tolerance is required for high-precision ADC reference rails. | Select MAX6794TPSD2+ when OUT1 accuracy better than ±1.5% over temperature is mandatory. |
| TLV70733PDRVR | Single-output, 3.3V LDO (200mA), no watchdog/reset, 2.5V–5.5V input, SOT-23-6 package - lacks high-voltage capability and supervision. | Suitable only for post-regulated 5V domains; cannot replace MAX6792TPSD2+ in direct battery-fed applications. | Use TLV70733PDRVR only as secondary rail regulator downstream of a primary high-voltage converter, not as direct replacement. |
Compared with MAX6794TPSD2+, the MAX6792TPSD2+ offers slightly relaxed OUT1 tolerance but identical functional scope and automotive qualification; versus TLV70733PDRVR, it provides full 5V–72V operation, dual outputs, and integrated supervision - making it irreplaceable in primary battery-connected systems.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6792TPSD2+ support?
The MAX6792TPSD2+ provides a fixed 5V output on OUT2 and a preset 3.3V output on OUT1 (indicated by the "S" in the part number). OUT1 can also be configured as adjustable (1.8V–11V) using an external resistor divider connected to SET1. The "D2" suffix specifies a fixed 12.5ms reset timeout period. All configurations operate across the full −40°C to +125°C range.
How does the windowed watchdog function in the MAX6792TPSD2+ differ from standard watchdog timers?
The MAX6792TPSD2+ implements a true windowed watchdog: it asserts RESET if the WDI signal remains static longer than tWD2 (280ms min) OR toggles faster than tWD1 (12.5ms min). This detects both microcontroller lockup (slow fault) and infinite-loop execution (fast fault), unlike single-threshold watchdogs that only catch one failure mode. WDS0/WDS1 pins configure the window ratio.
Can the MAX6792TPSD2+ be used without external components for basic operation?
Yes - the MAX6792TPSD2+ operates with minimal externals: only input (1μF) and output (10μF) capacitors are mandatory. HOLD can be tied to OUT1 for self-holding; CSRT/CSWT can be connected to OUT1 for fixed reset/watchdog timeouts; and WDS0/WDS1 can be hardwired for default window ratio. No external FET or resistor divider is needed unless adjusting OUT1 voltage or PFI threshold.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX6792TPSD2+?
The MAX6792TPSD2+ integrates thermal shutdown (+165°C, 20°C hysteresis), short-circuit current limiting (200–240mA per output), output overvoltage protection (105–110% of VOUT), reverse-battery protection drive (GATEP), and input overvoltage clamp (13.8V–18.8V). These eliminate the need for discrete protection circuitry in automotive designs.
Is the MAX6792TPSD2+ qualified for automotive use?
Yes - the MAX6792TPSD2+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0: −40°C to +150°C junction, tested per stress test conditions), manufactured in an IATF 16949-certified facility, and specified for continuous operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient. Its 5mm × 5mm TQFN package meets automotive thermal and vibration requirements.
