Product details
Overview
MAX6793TPWD0+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions, designed for automotive systems requiring robust 5V–72V operation and ultra-low 68μA quiescent current. It delivers up to 150mA per output (OUT1/OUT2), features fixed 5V OUT2 and adjustable/fixed OUT1 (1.8V–5V), and includes RESET, watchdog, HOLD, and power-fail comparator functionality. Used in engine control units and body electronics where load-dump resilience and microcontroller supervision are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6793TPWD0+ datasheet, MAX6793TPWD0+ pinout, MAX6793TPWD0+ application, or MAX6793TPWD0+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-regulator architecture with independent ENABLE1/ENABLE2 control, 20-pin TQFN-EP package, fixed 5V + adjustable 1.8V–11V outputs, 280ms min watchdog timeout, and AEC-Q100-compliant thermal performance up to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6793TPWD0+ implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 supports preset (1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V) or adjustable (1.8V–11V) output via SET1 feedback, while OUT2 is fixed at 5V. Its supervisory block integrates a push-pull/open-drain RESET output with 35μs–200ms selectable timeout, a capacitor-adjustable watchdog timer (CSWT), and WD-DIS input for hardware disable.
It uses internal 1.231V reference for PFI comparator and 124mV/62mV thresholds for Dual-Mode™ SET1, enabling precise output regulation and fault detection. Thermal shutdown triggers at +165°C with 20°C hysteresis, and reverse-battery protection is implemented via GATEP-driven pFET-no external diodes required.

Pinout & Package
MAX6793TPWD0+ is housed in a 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) with exposed pad (EP) connected internally to GND. The package supports up to 2.7W continuous power dissipation and requires PCB thermal vias to ground plane for optimal junction temperature control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | OUT1 | Dual-mode regulator output: fixed (1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V) or adjustable (1.8V–11V) via SET1 divider |
| 3 | SET1 | Feedback node for OUT1; GND = preset voltage, resistive divider = adjustable output |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output; asserts low when PFI < 1.231V - used for early battery warning |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust: connect to OUT1 for fixed 280ms, or capacitor to GND for custom timeout |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust: connect to OUT1 for fixed 35μs/3.125ms/12.5ms/50ms/200ms options |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference and thermal path via EP |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low push-pull or open-drain reset output; asserts on OUT1 undervoltage or watchdog fault |
| 9,10 | WDS1, WDS0 | Watchdog window ratio select inputs (MAX6791/MAX6792 only); unused on MAX6793TPWD0+ |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising/falling edge must occur within timeout period to prevent RESET assertion |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold enable: forces OUT1 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low - enables self-holding circuits |
| 13,14 | OUT2 | Fixed 5V output - dedicated supply for peripherals requiring stable rail independent of OUT1 |
| 15 | ENABLE2 | Active-high enable for OUT2 - allows independent control of second regulator |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input - set threshold via resistor divider referenced to 1.231V internal reference |
| 17,18 | IN | Main regulator input - accepts 5V–72V; bypass with 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate drive output - controls external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection |
| 20 | ENABLE1 | Active-high enable for OUT1 - internal 0.5μA pulldown enables default OFF state |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Internally connected to GND - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent regulators | OUT1 (adjustable/fixed) + OUT2 (fixed 5V) - enables mixed-voltage system design with isolated enable control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output automotive regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6794TPWD0+ | Dual-output variant with identical pinout, specs, and features - differs only in watchdog configuration (no WD-DIS pin; uses WDS0/WDS1 instead) | Requires software-managed watchdog disable vs. hardware WD-DIS; less suitable for safety-critical reset isolation | Select MAX6794TPWD0+ only if windowed watchdog timing (tWD1/tWD2) is required and hardware disable is unnecessary |
| TLV70733PDQNR | Single-output 3.3V LDO (200mA), no supervisory features, 2.5V–5.5V input, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks RESET, watchdog, HOLD, PFI, reverse-battery protection - cannot replace full supervisory function set | Use only as supplemental low-IQ rail in non-automotive, low-voltage systems where MAX6793TPWD0+ features are unused |
Compared with MAX6794TPWD0+, MAX6793TPWD0+ offers hardware WD-DIS for deterministic watchdog disable - critical for bootloader and diagnostic modes. Compared with TLV70733PDQNR, it provides full automotive-grade supervision, 72V tolerance, and dual-rail capability - making it irreplaceable in safety-compliant vehicle ECUs.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6793TPWD0+ support?
The MAX6793TPWD0+ supports fixed output voltages of 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5.0V on OUT1, selected by grounding SET1. It also supports adjustable OUT1 from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistive divider. OUT2 is fixed at 5.0V. All options are factory-configured per ordering code - the "WD0" suffix indicates 5V OUT1 and 5V OUT2 with 35μs reset timeout and fixed 280ms watchdog timeout.
How does the HOLD function work on the MAX6793TPWD0+?
The HOLD input on the MAX6793TPWD0+ is active-low. When pulled low after ENABLE1 is asserted, it forces OUT1 to remain ON even if ENABLE1 later returns low - enabling self-holding behavior without external latches. Releasing HOLD (to high or open) shuts down OUT1. HOLD is internally pulled up to OUT1 with 2μA, so leaving it unconnected defaults to standard ENABLE1 control.
Does the MAX6793TPWD0+ include reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6793TPWD0+ includes integrated reverse-battery protection via the GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. This eliminates the need for a series Schottky diode, reducing voltage drop and power loss. The internal clamp limits IN-to-GATEP voltage to 13.8V–18.8V, ensuring safe MOSFET gate drive across the 5V–72V input range.
What is the purpose of the WD-DIS pin on the MAX6793TPWD0+?
The WD-DIS pin (Pin 9) on the MAX6793TPWD0+ provides hardware-level disable of the watchdog timer. Driving WD-DIS low disables watchdog monitoring entirely - preventing unintended resets during bootloader execution or firmware updates. This differs from MAX6791/MAX6792, which require WDS0/WDS1 logic combinations for disable.
Is the MAX6793TPWD0+ qualified for automotive use?
The MAX6793TPWD0+ is not itself AEC-Q100 qualified, but it belongs to the MAX6791–MAX6796 family that includes AEC-Q100 qualified variants (e.g., MAX6793TPWD0/V+). Its specifications - including -40°C to +125°C operation, 72V input tolerance, and built-in protections - align with automotive requirements, and it shares the same die and package construction as qualified versions.
