Product details
Overview
The MAX6793TPLD3+ 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 a capacitor-adjustable 50ms reset timeout (D3) and push-pull RESET output - used in engine control units to maintain microprocessor reliability during load-dump transients.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6793TPLD3+ datasheet, MAX6793TPLD3+ pinout, MAX6793TPLD3+ application, or MAX6793TPLD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-regulator architecture with independent ENABLE1/ENABLE2 control, HOLD input for self-holding circuit implementation, watchdog disable capability via WD-DIS, and AEC-Q100-compatibility support confirmed by /V+ suffix and -40°C to +125°C operation.
Technical Context
The MAX6793TPLD3+ implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 is adjustable (1.8V–11V) or preset (5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) via SET1; OUT2 is fixed at 5V. Its supervisory block includes a push-pull RESET output with 92.5% reset threshold (relative to OUT1), 50ms timeout (D3 code), and a fixed 280ms watchdog timeout (CSWT = OUT1).
It supports reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven pFET, thermal shutdown at +165°C with 20°C hysteresis, and power-fail detection using PFI/PFO with 1.231V internal reference. The HOLD input enables latch-up behavior without external components, while WD-DIS provides hardware-level watchdog disable - distinguishing it from MAX6791/MAX6792 windowed-watchdog variants.
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 typical - enables always-on functionality in battery-sensitive systems like telematics. |
| Output Current | 150mA per output (OUT1 & OUT2) - sufficient for dual-rail MCU + peripheral powering. |
| Reset Timeout | 50ms (D3 code) - ensures reliable µP reset hold time after brownout recovery. |
| Dropout Voltage | 840mV typical at 100mA (dual mode) - maintains regulation under low VIN conditions (e.g., cold-crank at 6V). |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments. |
| Reset Threshold | 92.5% of OUT1 nominal voltage - provides accurate undervoltage detection aligned with regulated rail. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6793TPLD3+ uses a 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN package (5mm × 5mm, exposed pad), rated for 2.7W power dissipation and optimized for high-ambient automotive applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | OUT1 | Main adjustable or preset regulator output (150mA max); requires ≥10μF output capacitor. |
| 3 | SET1 | Feedback node for OUT1 voltage setting - grounded for preset outputs, connected to resistive divider for adjustable mode. |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output - asserts when PFI falls below 1.231V, enabling early shutdown warnings. |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust input - tied to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout (as in MAX6793TPLD3+). |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust input - tied to OUT1 for fixed 50ms timeout (D3 code). |
| 7 | GND | Power and signal reference ground - connects to exposed pad for thermal conduction. |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly without pull-up resistor. |
| 9, 10 | WDS1, WDS0 | Watchdog logic select inputs - unused in MAX6793 (N.C. per pin table); WD-DIS used instead. |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input - requires toggling within 280ms to prevent reset assertion. |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold input - latches regulator ON after initial enable, enabling ignition-key-based self-hold circuits. |
| 13, 14 | OUT2 | Fixed 5V secondary output (150mA max) - powers auxiliary circuits independently of OUT1. |
| 15 | ENABLE2 | Active-high enable for OUT2 - allows independent control of secondary rail. |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input - sets custom brownout threshold via external resistor divider referenced to 1.231V. |
| 17, 18 | IN | Main regulator input - bypassed with 1μF capacitor; accepts 5V–72V supply. |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate driver - controls external high-side p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection. |
| 20 | ENABLE1 | Active-high enable for OUT1 - internally pulled down; initiates regulator startup when driven high. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal pad connected to GND - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent regulators | OUT1 (adjustable/preset) + fixed 5V OUT2 - enables split-rail power for MCU + CAN transceiver. |
| Hardware watchdog disable | WD-DIS pin allows deterministic deactivation of watchdog function - critical for debug and safety-critical boot sequences. |
| Self-holding circuit support | HOLD input eliminates need for external latch components - simplifies ignition-switched power architecture. |
| Reverse-battery protection drive | GATEP output drives pFET gate directly - replaces lossy series diode, improving efficiency and thermal margin. |
| Automotive-grade supervision | Push-pull RESET, 50ms D3 timeout, and -40°C to +125°C operation meet ASIL-B system requirements. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6794TPLD3+ | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but includes windowed watchdog (WDS0/WDS1) instead of WD-DIS. | Required where min/max watchdog timing windows are mandated (e.g., ISO 26262 ASIL-C diagnostics). | Select MAX6794TPLD3+ only if windowed watchdog functionality is required; MAX6793TPLD3+ is preferred for simpler watchdog disable use cases. |
| TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 | Single-output (5V only), 500mA, 35μA IQ, no HOLD or WD-DIS; uses different pinout and lacks OUT2. | Suitable for cost-sensitive single-rail applications without dual-output or self-hold needs. | Choose TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 only when secondary 5V rail and HOLD functionality are unnecessary - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MAX6794TPLD3+, the MAX6793TPLD3+ trades windowed watchdog flexibility for simplified watchdog disable via WD-DIS; compared with TPS7B8750QKVURQ1, it adds dual-rail capability and latch-up control at higher BOM cost and pin count.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6793TPLD3+ support?
The MAX6793TPLD3+ supports preset 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 indicates a 5V preset for OUT1, confirmed by the D3 reset timeout code and /V+ automotive qualification.
How is the 50ms reset timeout implemented in the MAX6793TPLD3+?
The MAX6793TPLD3+ achieves its 50ms reset timeout (D3 code) by connecting the CSRT pin to OUT1, selecting the internally fixed timeout value. This configuration ensures RESET remains asserted for exactly 50ms after OUT1 recovers above its 92.5% reset threshold - meeting stringent automotive microprocessor reset timing requirements without external timing components.
Does the MAX6793TPLD3+ support reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6793TPLD3+ integrates reverse-battery protection via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. When battery polarity is reversed, the device disables the pFET to block current flow - eliminating the power loss and heat generation associated with series Schottky diodes while maintaining full 72V surge tolerance.
What is the function of the WD-DIS pin on the MAX6793TPLD3+?
The WD-DIS pin on the MAX6793TPLD3+ provides hardware-level watchdog disable: driving it low disables the watchdog timer entirely, preventing unintended resets during firmware updates or diagnostic modes. Unlike WDS0/WDS1 on MAX6791/MAX6792, WD-DIS offers binary enable/disable control - a key differentiator for safety-critical boot sequences requiring deterministic watchdog behavior.
Is the MAX6793TPLD3+ qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MAX6793TPLD3+ is automotive-qualified, indicated by the "/V+" suffix in its ordering code. It is fully specified from -40°C to +125°C, includes thermal shutdown with hysteresis, short-circuit protection, and AEC-Q100 stress testing - making it suitable for under-hood and cabin applications including ECUs, ADAS, and body control modules.
