Product details
Overview
MAX6793TPVD2+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions, designed for automotive systems. It delivers up to 150mA per output across a 5V–72V input range, features 68μA quiescent current, fixed 5V/3.3V output options (this variant: 3.3V), and a capacitor-adjustable 12.5ms reset timeout. It is used in engine control units (ECUs) where load-dump resilience and microprocessor supervision are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6793TPVD2+T datasheet, MAX6793TPVD2+T pinout, MAX6793TPVD2+T application, or MAX6793TPVD2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual 150mA output capability, AEC-Q100-compliant thermal performance (−40°C to +125°C), watchdog disable support via WD-DIS, HOLD self-hold functionality, and 5mm × 5mm TQFN-20EP package with exposed pad for thermal dissipation.
Technical Context
The MAX6793TPVD2+T implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 (adjustable or preset 3.3V) and OUT2 (fixed 5V). Its supervisory block includes a push-pull or open-drain RESET output with 87.5% reset threshold (relative to OUT1), internally fixed 12.5ms reset timeout (D2 code), and watchdog timer with WD-DIS disable control - distinct from windowed watchdog variants (MAX6791/MAX6792).
It integrates reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven pFET, power-fail detection (PFI/PFO) with 1.231V internal reference, and thermal/short-circuit/overvoltage protection. ENABLE1 and ENABLE2 allow independent regulation control, while HOLD enables latch-up behavior without external components.

Pinout & Package
MAX6793TPVD2+T uses a 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN package (5mm × 5mm, exposed pad). The EP pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 - OUT1 | Regulator 1 output | 3.3V fixed output (this variant); requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability |
| 3 - SET1 | Feedback input | Connected to GND to select preset 3.3V; enables adjustable operation when used with external resistor divider |
| 4 - PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Open-drain active-low signal asserting when PFI falls below 1.231V; used for early battery warning |
| 5 - CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust | Connected to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout; capacitor-to-GND enables adjustment |
| 6 - CSRT | Reset timeout adjust | Connected to OUT1 for fixed 12.5ms timeout (D2); capacitor-to-GND enables user-defined delay |
| 7 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path; EP pad must be connected to same ground plane |
| 8 - RESET | Supervisory reset output | Push-pull active-low output asserting when OUT1 drops below 87.5% of nominal (2.888V) |
| 11 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; reset asserted if no transition occurs within watchdog timeout period |
| 12 - HOLD | Regulator hold control | Active-low; forces OUT1/OUT2 ON even after ENABLE1/ENABLE2 goes low - enables self-holding circuits |
| 13, 14 - OUT2 | Regulator 2 output | Fixed 5V output; independent of OUT1; requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| 15 - ENABLE2 | Enable for OUT2 | Active-high; internal 0.5μA pulldown allows direct MCU GPIO control without pull-down resistor |
| 16 - PFI | Power-fail comparator input | High-impedance input referenced to 1.231V; used with resistive divider to set custom undervoltage threshold |
| 17, 18 - IN | Main regulator input | Accepts 5V–72V; bypassed with 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND near pins |
| 19 - GATEP | pFET gate driver | Drives external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection; eliminates series diode loss |
| 20 - ENABLE1 | Enable for OUT1 | Active-high; internal 0.5μA pulldown enables direct MCU control without external resistor |

FAQ
What output voltages does the MAX6793TPVD2+T provide?
The MAX6793TPVD2+T provides two independent outputs: OUT1 is preset to 3.3V (as indicated by the 'V' in the part number), and OUT2 is a fixed 5V rail. Both outputs are guaranteed over the full −40°C to +125°C temperature range and support up to 150mA each. The 3.3V output is selected by grounding the SET1 pin; no external feedback resistors are needed for this configuration.
How is the reset timeout period configured on the MAX6793TPVD2+T?
The MAX6793TPVD2+T uses the 'D2' suffix to indicate a factory-configured 12.5ms reset timeout period. This is implemented by connecting the CSRT pin to OUT1 internally during wafer sort. For field-adjustable timing, a capacitor can be connected from CSRT to GND - yielding timeouts from ~35μs to 260ms depending on capacitance value, per the datasheet's CSRT ramp current (1000nA typical) and threshold (1.218V).
Does the MAX6793TPVD2+T support watchdog disable, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6793TPVD2+T supports hardware watchdog disable via the WD-DIS pin (Pin 9). Driving WD-DIS low disables the watchdog timer entirely - preventing any WDI-triggered reset assertion. This differs from MAX6791/MAX6792, which require WDS0/WDS1 logic combinations. WD-DIS simplifies safety-critical firmware updates or diagnostic modes where watchdog supervision must be unconditionally suspended.
What is the purpose of the HOLD pin on the MAX6793TPVD2+T, and how does it interact with ENABLE1?
The HOLD pin (Pin 12) on the MAX6793TPVD2+T enables self-holding behavior: once ENABLE1 is asserted and OUT1 turns on, pulling HOLD low latches the regulator ON - even if ENABLE1 later returns low. Releasing HOLD (to high-impedance or OUT1) shuts down OUT1/OUT2. This eliminates external latch circuitry in ignition-switched automotive systems, and is distinct from standard enable behavior. HOLD is internally pulled up to OUT1 with 2µA.
Is the MAX6793TPVD2+T qualified for automotive use, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, the MAX6793TPVD2+T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0, −40°C to +150°C junction temperature) and specified for continuous operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient. It meets automotive requirements including 72V load-dump survivability, reverse-battery protection (via GATEP), and built-in thermal/short-circuit/overvoltage protection - all verified per AEC-Q100 stress test conditions and lifetime reliability protocols.
