Product details
Overview
The MAX6793TPWD2+ 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 across a 5V–72V input range, features fixed 5V/3.3V outputs (this variant: 3.3V OUT1, 5V OUT2), 68μA quiescent current, and active-low open-drain RESET with 12.5ms timeout - enabling robust microcontroller reset control in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6793TPWD2+ datasheet, MAX6793TPWD2+ pinout, MAX6793TPWD2+ application, or MAX6793TPWD2+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual enable inputs (ENABLE1/ENABLE2), HOLD self-holding functionality, adjustable watchdog window timing, and AEC-Q100-compatible thermal performance up to +125°C in automotive under-hood environments.
Technical Context
The MAX6793TPWD2+ implements two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 (adjustable or preset 3.3V) and fixed 5V OUT2, each with dedicated enable control and shared HOLD logic. Its supervisory block integrates a windowed watchdog timer (via WDS0/WDS1), programmable reset timeout (CSRT = D2 → 12.5ms), and power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) referenced to 1.231V.
It uses internal current-limiting, thermal shutdown (+165°C), and output overvoltage protection (105–110% VOUT). The GATEP pin drives an external p-FET for reverse-battery protection, eliminating series diodes while maintaining low dropout (840mV typ @ 100mA, dual mode).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 72V - withstands automotive load-dump transients without external clamping. |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA (typ) - enables always-on battery monitoring in sleep-mode vehicle systems. |
| Output Current | 150mA per output (OUT1 & OUT2) - supports dual-rail MCU peripherals (e.g., CAN transceiver + sensor interface). |
| Dropout Voltage | 840mV (typ) at 100mA (dual) - ensures regulation down to VIN = 6.14V when VOUT1 = 5.3V. |
| Reset Timeout | 12.5ms (CSRT = D2) - meets ISO 16750-2 cold-crank brownout recovery timing requirements. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 stress testing. |
| Watchdog Type | Windowed (min/max) - detects both stuck-high and stuck-low WDI faults, preventing false resets. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6793TPWD2+ is housed in a 20-pin, 5mm × 5mm thermally enhanced TQFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP = GND). The package supports 2.7W continuous dissipation and enables compact, high-reliability PCB layouts for automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | OUT1 | Regulator 1 output (preset 3.3V); requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 3 | SET1 | Feedback input - tied to GND for 3.3V preset; connects to resistive divider for adjustable output. |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output - asserts low when PFI < 1.231V, used for early battery-low warning. |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust - connected to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout (D2 variant uses CSRT only). |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust - tied to OUT1 for 12.5ms fixed timeout (D2 code per Ordering Info Table 2). |
| 7 | GND | Power and signal reference - EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal integrity. |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset - compatible with 1.8V–5V µP reset inputs; pull-up required externally. |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising/falling edge must occur within tWD window (280ms min) to prevent reset assertion. |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold - forces OUT1/OUT2 ON even after ENABLE1/ENABLE2 goes low; enables ignition-key self-hold. |
| 13,14 | OUT2 | Fixed 5V output - supplies secondary loads (e.g., LIN transceiver, EEPROM) independently of OUT1. |
| 15 | ENABLE2 | Active-high enable for OUT2 - internal 0.5μA pulldown allows direct connection to microcontroller GPIO. |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input - set via resistor divider to monitor battery or pre-regulated rail voltage. |
| 17,18 | IN | Main regulator input - bypassed with 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND near pins for EMI suppression. |
| 19 | GATEP | p-FET gate drive - controls external PMOS for reverse-battery protection (no series diode loss). |
| 20 | ENABLE1 | Active-high enable for OUT1 - internal 0.5μA pulldown enables direct MCU control without external pull-down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | ENABLE1 controls OUT1; ENABLE2 controls OUT2 - enables staggered power sequencing for multi-rail systems. |
| HOLD self-holding circuit | Eliminates need for external latch components - simplifies ignition-switched power architecture in body controllers. |
| Windowed watchdog timer | Detects both fast (tWDI < tWD1) and slow (tWDI > tWD2) WDI faults - prevents undetected firmware lockup in safety-critical ECUs. |
| Reverse-battery protection driver | GATEP drives external p-FET - achieves <10mΩ effective series resistance vs. ~200mΩ diode solution, reducing heat and voltage drop. |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | Auto-shutdown at +165°C with 20°C hysteresis; current-limited to 240mA (short-circuit) - ensures fault containment without fuse replacement. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Body Control Module (BCM) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6794TPWD2+ | Same pinout, identical specs, but includes windowed watchdog with selectable ratio (WDS0/WDS1) - MAX6793 uses WD-DIS instead of WDS0/WDS1. | Supports finer watchdog window tuning (e.g., 8×, 16×, 64× ratios) for complex firmware timing validation. | Select MAX6794TPWD2+ if window ratio configurability is required; MAX6793TPWD2+ suffices for fixed-window or disable-only use cases. |
| TLV70733PDQNR | Single 3.3V output, 200mA, 5.5V max input, no watchdog/reset - lacks high-voltage capability, supervision, or dual output. | Only suitable for low-voltage, non-automotive applications (e.g., consumer IoT) where 72V tolerance and AEC-Q100 are not needed. | Not a functional substitute - use only in cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs with VIN ≤ 5.5V and no supervision requirements. |
Compared with MAX6794TPWD2+, the MAX6793TPWD2+ omits WDS0/WDS1 pins in favor of WD-DIS, simplifying watchdog disable logic but removing window-ratio flexibility; compared with TLV70733PDQNR, it delivers 14× higher input voltage range, integrated supervision, and dual-rail capability essential for automotive ECU power domains.

FAQ
What output voltages does the MAX6793TPWD2+ provide?
The MAX6793TPWD2+ provides two regulated outputs: OUT1 is preset to 3.3V (as indicated by 'T' in the ordering code), and OUT2 is fixed at 5V. SET1 is internally connected to GND to select the 3.3V option; no external resistor divider is needed unless adjusting OUT1 voltage.
How is the 12.5ms reset timeout configured on the MAX6793TPWD2+?
The MAX6793TPWD2+ uses the 'D2' suffix to denote a 12.5ms reset timeout period. This is implemented by connecting the CSRT pin to OUT1/OUT2, selecting the internal D2 setting per Table 2 in the datasheet. No external capacitor is required for this fixed timeout.
Does the MAX6793TPWD2+ support reverse-battery protection?
Yes - the MAX6793TPWD2+ includes a dedicated GATEP pin that drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. This enables active reverse-polarity protection with minimal voltage drop (<50mV typical), replacing lossy series diodes in automotive battery-input circuits.
Can the watchdog timer on the MAX6793TPWD2+ be disabled?
Yes - the MAX6793TPWD2+ features a WD-DIS input (Pin 9). Driving WD-DIS low disables the watchdog function entirely, allowing WDI to be left floating or unused without causing unintended resets. This is confirmed in the Pin Description table and Functional Diagram.
Is the MAX6793TPWD2+ qualified for automotive use?
Yes - the MAX6793TPWD2+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0: −40°C to +125°C), with full characterization across temperature, lifetime testing, and stress screening per automotive reliability standards. Its 72V input rating and load-dump immunity meet ISO 7637-2 requirements.
