Overview
MAX6793TPMD4+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, ultra-low-quiescent-current linear regulator IC designed for automotive power management. It delivers up to 150mA per output across a 5V–72V input range, features fixed 5V/3.3V outputs (this variant: 3.3V OUT1, 5V OUT2), 68μA quiescent current, and integrated reset/watchdog supervision with 200ms capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (D4 code). It operates in automotive environments including load-dump conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6793TPMD4+ datasheet, MAX6793TPMD4+ pinout, MAX6793TPMD4+ application, or MAX6793TPMD4+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, supervisory timing values, thermal protection behavior, and AEC-Q100-aligned design intent - all confirmed for the exact MAX6793TPMD4+ variant.
Technical Context
The MAX6793TPMD4+ implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 (adjustable or preset 3.3V) and OUT2 (fixed 5V), each rated for 150mA continuous output. Its supervisory block includes an open-drain RESET output with 87.5% reset threshold (S-code), 200ms reset timeout (D4), and watchdog input (WDI) with fixed 280ms timeout or capacitor-adjustable mode.
It integrates HOLD functionality enabling self-holding operation without external components, ENABLE1/ENABLE2 for independent output control, and reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven pFET. All functions are specified over –40°C to +125°C and qualified per AEC-Q100 requirements for automotive use.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6794TPMD4+ | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but includes windowed watchdog (WDS0/WDS1) instead of WD-DIS | Preferred where min/max watchdog windowing is required for ASIL-B diagnostics | Select MAX6794TPMD4+ only if windowed watchdog behavior is explicitly needed; MAX6793TPMD4+ uses simpler WD-DIS disable control |
| TLV70733PDRVR | Single 3.3V output, 200mA, 5.5V max input, no supervision - lacks 72V input, RESET, watchdog, or HOLD | Suitable only for non-automotive, low-voltage, non-safety-critical applications | Not a functional substitute; use only in cost-sensitive consumer designs without automotive stress or supervision requirements |
Compared with MAX6794TPMD4+, MAX6793TPMD4+ offers simplified watchdog disable via WD-DIS pin rather than logic-select inputs, reducing routing complexity. Compared with TLV70733PDRVR, it delivers automotive-grade 72V tolerance, dual-rail capability, and full supervisory functionality - making it irreplaceable in AEC-Q100-compliant systems.

FAQ
What output voltages does the MAX6793TPMD4+ provide?
The MAX6793TPMD4+ provides two regulated outputs: OUT1 is preset to 3.3V (S-code), and OUT2 is fixed at 5V. Both outputs deliver up to 150mA continuously. The 3.3V output is set by connecting SET1 to GND; OUT2 requires no configuration. This dual-rail capability makes MAX6793TPMD4+ ideal for powering mixed-voltage automotive subsystems.
How is the reset timeout period configured on the MAX6793TPMD4+?
The MAX6793TPMD4+ uses the D4 suffix to indicate a fixed 200ms reset timeout period. This is implemented by connecting CSRT to OUT1/OUT2 - no external capacitor is required. If adjustable timing is needed, a capacitor can be added from CSRT to GND, yielding timeouts from ~35μs to 260ms depending on value. The fixed D4 setting ensures consistent, production-tested timing for automotive boot sequences.
Does the MAX6793TPMD4+ support reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6793TPMD4+ integrates reverse-battery protection via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. This replaces lossy series diodes, achieving <100mV forward drop versus >400mV for Schottky solutions. The internal protection circuitry ensures safe operation during –12V reverse-battery transients, a critical requirement for automotive 12V systems.
What is the function of the HOLD pin on the MAX6793TPMD4+?
The HOLD pin on MAX6793TPMD4+ enables self-holding operation: when pulled low after initial enable, it keeps OUT1 and OUT2 active even if ENABLE1 or ENABLE2 returns low. This eliminates external latching circuitry in ignition-switched systems. HOLD is internally pulled up to OUT1 with 2μA, so leaving it unconnected allows standard enable/disable behavior - a flexible feature unique to the MAX6793TPMD4+ among dual-output supervisors.
Is the MAX6793TPMD4+ qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MAX6793TPMD4+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0: –40°C to +125°C) and designed for automotive applications. It meets ISO 16750-2 load-dump (72V), cold-crank (4.5V), and surge immunity requirements. All electrical parameters - including dropout voltage, PSRR, and reset accuracy - are guaranteed across the full temperature range, making MAX6793TPMD4+ suitable for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics.
