Product details
Overview
MAX6793TPWD0+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions, designed for automotive systems requiring robust operation across 5V–72V input and -40°C to +125°C ambient. It delivers up to 150mA per output (OUT1/OUT2), features fixed 5V OUT2 and adjustable/fixed OUT1 (e.g., 5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V), and includes active-low open-drain RESET with 35µs delay and capacitor-adjustable timeout (D0 = 35µs). It supports load-dump survival in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6793TPWD0+T datasheet, MAX6793TPWD0+T pinout, MAX6793TPWD0+T application, or MAX6793TPWD0+T 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-aligned thermal/short-circuit protection - all in a 20-pin TQFN-EP package.
Technical Context
The MAX6793TPWD0+T implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 (adjustable or preset) and fixed 5V OUT2, each with dedicated enable inputs (ENABLE1, ENABLE2) and shared HOLD functionality. Its supervisory block integrates a reset generator triggered by OUT1 voltage drop below 92.5% of nominal (L/M option), a watchdog timer with fixed 280ms timeout (CSWT = OUT1) or capacitor-adjustable period, and a power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) referenced to 1.231V.
It uses internal current-limited pFET gate drive (GATEP) for reverse-battery protection and incorporates thermal shutdown at +165°C with 20°C hysteresis, short-circuit current limiting (200–240mA), and output overvoltage protection clamping at 105–110% of VOUT. The device operates with 68μA quiescent current and supports continuous regulation under high ambient temperature and load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 72V - withstands automotive load-dump transients without external protection |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA typical - enables always-on battery monitoring in sleep-mode vehicle systems |
| Output Current | 150mA per output (OUT1 & OUT2) - sufficient for MCU core + I/O rail or dual-sensor supply |
| Dropout Voltage | 840mV typ at 100mA - maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 0.84V, critical for low-VIN cold-crank |
| Reset Threshold | 92.5% of OUT1 nominal (L option) - ensures reliable µP reset before brownout-induced corruption |
| Reset Timeout | 35μs fixed (D0 option) - provides fast, deterministic reset assertion for time-critical boot sequences |
| Watchdog Timeout | 280ms min (fixed, CSWT = OUT1) - balances fault detection latency and false-trigger immunity |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive placement |
Pinout & Package
MAX6793TPWD0+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 5mm × 5mm, 20-pin TQFN-EP package (exposed pad connected to GND), rated for 2.7W power dissipation and optimized for high-temperature automotive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 / OUT1 | Regulator 1 Output | Primary regulated output (preset or adjustable 1.8V–11V); max 150mA; requires ≥10µF ceramic bypass |
| 3 / SET1 | OUT1 Feedback Input | Connect to GND for preset voltage; connect external resistor divider for adjustable output |
| 4 / PFO | Power-Fail Comparator Output | Active-low open-drain signal asserting when PFI < 1.231V; used for early battery-low warning |
| 5 / CSWT | Watchdog Timeout Adjust | Connect to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout; add capacitor to GND for adjustable period |
| 6 / CSRT | Reset Timeout Adjust | Connect to OUT1 for fixed D0=35µs timeout; capacitor sets longer periods (D1–D4) |
| 7 / GND | Ground Reference | Main signal and power ground; EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance |
| 8 / RESET | Supervisory Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; asserts when OUT1 drops below threshold or watchdog expires |
| 9, 10 / WDS1, WDS0 | Watchdog Window Select | Not used on MAX6793 - reserved; MAX6793 uses WD-DIS instead of windowed watchdog |
| 11 / WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; transition required within timeout to prevent RESET assertion |
| 12 / HOLD | Regulator Hold Control | Active-low; forces OUT1 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low - enables self-holding ignition circuits |
| 13, 14 / OUT2 | Regulator 2 Output | Fixed 5V output; max 150mA; requires ≥10µF ceramic bypass; independent of OUT1 regulation |
| 15 / ENABLE2 | OUT2 Enable Input | Active-high; controls OUT2 independently; internally pulled down (0.5µA sink) |
| 16 / PFI | Power-Fail Input | Non-inverting comparator input; set threshold via resistive divider to monitor battery or pre-regulated rail |
| 17, 18 / IN | Main Regulator Input | High-voltage input (5–72V); bypass with 1µF ceramic to GND near pins |
| 19 / GATEP | pFET Gate Driver | Drives external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection; eliminates series diode loss |
| 20 / ENABLE1 | OUT1 Enable Input | Active-high; controls OUT1 independently; internally pulled down (0.5µA sink) |
| EP / Exposed Pad | Thermal & Electrical Ground | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal conduction and EMI reduction |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output high-voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6794TPWD0+T | Dual-output variant with identical pinout, specs, and D0 reset timeout; differs only in watchdog architecture (no WD-DIS pin - uses WDS0/WDS1 instead) | Suitable where windowed watchdog (min/max timeout) is required; not pin-compatible due to different watchdog control scheme | Select MAX6794TPWD0+T only if windowed watchdog behavior is needed; MAX6793TPWD0+T offers simpler WD-DIS disable logic |
| TLV70733PDQNR | Single-output, 200mA LDO with 2.5–5.5V input, no supervisory features, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks RESET, watchdog, HOLD, PFI, GATEP - suitable only for non-safety, low-voltage post-regulation | Use TLV70733PDQNR only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive secondary rails where supervision is handled externally |
Compared with MAX6794TPWD0+T and TLV70733PDQNR, the MAX6793TPWD0+T uniquely combines dual 150mA outputs, 5–72V operation, integrated watchdog disable (WD-DIS), and HOLD-based latching in a single AEC-Q100-aligned package - making it irreplaceable for automotive primary power supervision where functional safety and ignition control are mandatory.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6793TPWD0+T support for OUT1?
The MAX6793TPWD0+T supports preset OUT1 voltages of 5.0V, 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V (selected by factory configuration encoded in the part number suffix), and also allows adjustable output from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistor divider connected to SET1. The specific preset voltage for MAX6793TPWD0+T is determined by the "W" placeholder in the ordering code per Table 1 of the datasheet; D0 indicates 35µs reset timeout, not output voltage.
Does the MAX6793TPWD0+T provide reverse-battery protection, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6793TPWD0+T provides reverse-battery protection via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET placed in series with the input supply. When reverse polarity is applied, the internal circuitry disables the MOSFET, blocking current flow. This replaces lossy series diodes and achieves <100mV forward drop during normal operation - a key advantage confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "IN to GATEP Drive Voltage" and "Clamp Voltage" parameters.
How is the watchdog function disabled on the MAX6793TPWD0+T?
The watchdog function on the MAX6793TPWD0+T is disabled by driving the WD-DIS pin low. Unlike MAX6791/MAX6792 (which use WDS0/WDS1), MAX6793/MAX6794 feature the dedicated WD-DIS input. When WD-DIS is low, the watchdog timer is inactive and will not assert RESET regardless of WDI state. Pulling WD-DIS high or connecting it to OUT1 enables normal watchdog operation - a design choice confirmed in the Pin Description table and Functional Diagram on page 13.
What is the purpose of the HOLD pin on the MAX6793TPWD0+T, and how does it interact with ENABLE1?
The HOLD pin on the MAX6793TPWD0+T is an active-low input that forces OUT1 to remain enabled even after ENABLE1 is driven low - enabling self-holding circuits without external components. Once ENABLE1 is asserted high and OUT1 is stable, pulling HOLD low "latches" the regulator ON. To shut down OUT1, ENABLE1 must first be pulled low, then HOLD released (driven high or left floating). This behavior is explicitly defined in the "Enable and Hold Inputs" section and Table 3 of the datasheet.
Is the MAX6793TPWD0+T qualified to AEC-Q100, and what temperature grade does it support?
The MAX6793TPWD0+T is specified for operation from -40°C to +125°C and is built on an AEC-Q100-qualified process, as confirmed by the "AEC-Q100 Qualified" note applying to MAX6795 variants and the explicit inclusion of MAX6793 in the Ordering Information table with /V+ suffix eligibility. While the base MAX6793TPWD0+T part number does not carry the /V suffix, its absolute maximum ratings, thermal shutdown threshold (+165°C), and full characterization across -40°C to +125°C align with AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for automotive under-hood use.
