Product details
Overview
MAX6793TPLD2+ 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 (OUT1 and fixed 5V OUT2), operates from 5V to 72V input, consumes only 68μA quiescent current, and features adjustable reset timeout (12.5ms), watchdog disable, and HOLD self-hold functionality - used in engine control units and body electronics where load-dump resilience and low-power wake-up are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6793TPLD2+ datasheet, MAX6793TPLD2+ pinout, MAX6793TPLD2+ application, or MAX6793TPLD2+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin roles, automotive-grade thermal performance (–40°C to +125°C), confirmed reset threshold behavior (87.5% of OUT1), and validated alternative options for dual-output high-voltage supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6793TPLD2+ implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 is adjustable (1.8V–11V) or preset (5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) via SET1, while OUT2 is fixed at 5V. Its supervisory block includes an open-drain RESET output with 87.5% nominal threshold and capacitor-adjustable timeout (D2 = 12.5ms), plus a watchdog timer with fixed 280ms timeout (CSWT tied to OUT1) and WD-DIS disable control.
It integrates HOLD functionality that latches OUT1/OUT2 ON after initial enable, independent of ENABLE1/ENABLE2 state, and supports reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven pFET. All protections - thermal shutdown (+165°C), short-circuit current limit (~240mA), and output overvoltage clamp (1.05×VOUT) - are fully specified across –40°C to +125°C.
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 ECU modules meeting ISO 16750-2 sleep-current requirements. |
| Output Current | 150mA per output (OUT1 & OUT2) - sufficient to power microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensors simultaneously. |
| Reset Threshold | 87.5% of OUT1 nominal voltage - ensures reliable brownout detection before MCU functional failure. |
| Reset Timeout | 12.5ms (D2 option) - meets automotive reset timing requirements for deterministic boot sequencing. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 280ms fixed (CSWT = OUT1) - provides robust firmware hang detection without external timing components. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 stress test conditions. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6793TPLD2+ uses a 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN package (5mm × 5mm, exposed pad), rated for 2.7W continuous dissipation at +70°C ambient. The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 - OUT1 | Regulator 1 Output | Adjustable (1.8V–11V) or preset (5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V); supplies up to 150mA; requires ≥10μF output capacitor. |
| 3 - SET1 | Feedback Input | Connect to GND for preset output; connect external resistor divider for adjustable VOUT1. |
| 4 - PFO | Power-Fail Comparator Output | Open-drain active-low signal asserting when PFI falls below 1.231V - used for early battery-fail warning. |
| 5 - CSWT | Watchdog Timeout Adjust | Tied to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout; capacitor to GND enables adjustable period - disables watchdog if left floating. |
| 6 - CSRT | Reset Timeout Adjust | Tied to OUT1 for D2 (12.5ms) fixed timeout; capacitor to GND enables user-defined delay - critical for boot timing compliance. |
| 7 - GND | Ground Reference | Primary analog/digital return; EP must be connected to same ground plane for thermal performance. |
| 8 - RESET | Supervisory Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output asserting when OUT1 drops below 87.5% threshold - directly interfaces µP reset pin. |
| 9 - WDS1 | Watchdog Window Ratio Select | Part of dual-input logic (with WDS0) to configure windowed watchdog on MAX6791/MAX6792; unused on MAX6793. |
| 10 - WDS0 | Watchdog Window Ratio Select | Unused on MAX6793; internal logic ignores these pins - no effect on watchdog behavior. |
| 11 - WDI | Watchdog Input | Falling/rising edge resets watchdog timer; absence of toggle >280ms triggers RESET assertion - monitors firmware liveness. |
| 12 - HOLD | Regulator Hold Input | Active-low latch: forces OUT1/OUT2 ON even after ENABLE1/ENABLE2 goes low - enables ignition-key self-hold circuits. |
| 13, 14 - OUT2 | Regulator 2 Output | Fixed 5V output, 150mA capable; independent of OUT1 regulation - powers auxiliary loads like LIN transceivers. |
| 15 - ENABLE2 | Enable Input 2 | Active-high control for OUT2 only; internally pulled down (0.5μA sink) - allows separate sequencing of dual outputs. |
| 16 - PFI | Power-Fail Input | Resistive-divider input referenced to 1.231V internal threshold - sets custom undervoltage warning point for battery monitoring. |
| 17, 18 - IN | Main Regulator Input | Accepts 5V–72V supply; bypassed with 1μF capacitor to GND - handles wide automotive battery range including cold-crank. |
| 19 - GATEP | pFET Gate Drive | Drives external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection - eliminates series diode drop and heat loss. |
| 20 - ENABLE1 | Enable Input 1 | Active-high control for OUT1 only; internally pulled down - enables independent startup control of primary regulated rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent outputs | OUT1 (adjustable/preset) + fixed 5V OUT2 - supports mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3V MCU + 5V sensor interface) without extra regulators. |
| HOLD self-hold circuitry | Eliminates need for external latch components - simplifies ignition-switched power architecture in body control modules. |
| Reverse-battery protection drive | GATEP output controls external pFET - achieves <50mV forward drop vs. >300mV diode solution, improving efficiency and thermal margin. |
| Automotive-grade supervision | RESET with 87.5% threshold + 12.5ms timeout + watchdog disable (WD-DIS) - satisfies ASIL-B diagnostic coverage requirements for power ICs. |
| Thermal robustness | +165°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during sustained high-ambient + high-load operation under hood. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output high-voltage supervisory regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6794TPLD2+ | Identical pinout, package, and electrical specs; differs only in watchdog architecture - MAX6794 supports windowed watchdog (MIN/MAX timeout), while MAX6793 uses standard single-timer watchdog. | Required where firmware must detect both fast hangs (<6.25ms) and slow hangs (>280ms); not needed for basic periodic watchdog reset. | Select MAX6794TPLD2+ only if windowed watchdog logic is mandated by functional safety analysis (e.g., ISO 26262 ASIL B). |
| TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 | Single-output (5V only), 300mA, 35μA IQ, 4.5V–40V input - lacks dual output, adjustable VOUT, HOLD, and WD-DIS; offers tighter VOUT tolerance (±1%) and integrated enable sequencing. | Suitable for simpler systems needing only one rail; cannot replace MAX6793TPLD2+ in dual-rail designs without adding second regulator. | Choose TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 when space-constrained single-rail applications prioritize ultra-low IQ and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40°C to +150°C) over dual output and supervision flexibility. |
Compared with MAX6794TPLD2+, the MAX6793TPLD2+ offers simplified watchdog control without windowing complexity, reducing firmware overhead; versus TPS7B8750QKVURQ1, it provides dual-rail capability and HOLD latching essential for ignition-switched architectures, albeit with higher IQ and wider input range.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6793TPLD2+ support?
The MAX6793TPLD2+ supports preset output voltages of 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V on OUT1, selectable by grounding SET1. It also supports adjustable OUT1 from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistor divider. OUT2 is fixed at 5V. The "D2" in MAX6793TPLD2+ indicates the reset timeout is configured for 12.5ms, not output voltage selection.
Does the MAX6793TPLD2+ include reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6793TPLD2+ includes reverse-battery protection circuitry via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. This eliminates the power loss and heat generation of a series Schottky diode, enabling efficient protection against –14V reverse polarity events common in automotive service environments.
How is the watchdog function disabled on the MAX6793TPLD2+?
The watchdog function on the MAX6793TPLD2+ is disabled by driving the WD-DIS pin low. When WD-DIS is low, the watchdog timer is inactive and WDI transitions have no effect. WD-DIS is internally pulled up to OUT1, so connecting it to GND is required for disable - a hardware-controlled, fail-safe method distinct from software register writes.
What is the purpose of the HOLD pin on the MAX6793TPLD2+?
The HOLD pin on the MAX6793TPLD2+ provides self-holding functionality: when driven low after initial enable, it keeps OUT1 and OUT2 active even if ENABLE1 or ENABLE2 returns low. This enables ignition-key-based power sequencing in automotive modules without external latch circuitry - a key feature for body control and infotainment systems.
Is the MAX6793TPLD2+ AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, the MAX6793TPLD2+ is AEC-Q100 qualified - specifically, the "/V+" suffix denotes automotive qualification. It is tested and guaranteed over –40°C to +125°C, with full characterization of parameters including dropout voltage, PSRR, reset threshold drift, and thermal shutdown behavior under automotive stress conditions.
