Product details
Overview
MAX6793TPZD1+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, ultra-low-quiescent-current linear regulator designed for automotive power management. It operates from 5V to 72V input, delivers up to 150mA per output (OUT1 and fixed 5V OUT2), features 68μA quiescent current, 92.5%/87.5% reset threshold tracking, and supports -40°C to +125°C operation in automotive load-dump environments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6793TPZD1+T datasheet, MAX6793TPZD1+T pinout, MAX6793TPZD1+T application, or MAX6793TPZD1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail supervision with independent enable inputs (ENABLE1/ENABLE2), HOLD-based self-holding circuit implementation, adjustable reset timeout via CSRT, and watchdog disable capability via WD-DIS - all critical for ASIL-B-compliant vehicle ECU power sequencing.
Technical Context
The MAX6793TPZD1+T integrates two independent LDO regulators: OUT1 (adjustable or preset 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V) and OUT2 (fixed 5V). Its supervisory block includes a push-pull or open-drain RESET output with fixed 92.5% (L/M) or 87.5% (T/S/Z/Y/W/V) threshold relative to OUT1, and a capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (CSRT) supporting 35μs–200ms durations.
It implements a non-windowed watchdog timer with fixed 280ms minimum timeout (CSWT = OUT1) or capacitor-adjustable period, and supports watchdog disable via WD-DIS pin. The HOLD input enables latch-up behavior without external components, while ENABLE1 and ENABLE2 provide independent control of OUT1 and OUT2, respectively.
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 functionality in battery-sensitive systems (e.g., telematics, CAN gateways). |
| Output Current | 150mA per output (OUT1 & OUT2) - sufficient to power microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces simultaneously. |
| Reset Threshold | 92.5% of OUT1 (L/M option) - ensures deterministic μP reset before brownout-induced code corruption. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 requirements. |
| Dropout Voltage | 840mV typ at 100mA (dual mode) - maintains regulation during cold-crank (6V battery) with minimal headroom loss. |
| Reset Timeout | Capacitor-adjustable (CSRT) - allows precise synchronization with system boot timing across variants. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm, exposed pad), thermally enhanced for 2.7W dissipation at +70°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | OUT1 | Main regulator output (preset or adjustable 1.8V–11V); requires ≥10μF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| 3 | SET1 | Feedback node for OUT1 voltage setting; GND = preset voltage, resistive divider = adjustable mode. |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output; asserts low when PFI < 1.231V - used for early battery-low warning. |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust input; connect to OUT1 for fixed 280ms timeout or capacitor to GND for adjustment. |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust input; same configuration as CSWT - sets duration RESET stays asserted after recovery. |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to PCB ground plane via exposed pad. |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low reset output (push-pull); tracks OUT1 voltage and asserts during undervoltage or watchdog fault. |
| 9, 10 | WDS1, WDS0 | Watchdog window ratio select (not used in MAX6793 - reserved, no internal connection). |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge must occur within timeout period to prevent RESET assertion. |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold input; forces OUT1 ON even after ENABLE1 goes low - enables self-holding circuits. |
| 13, 14 | OUT2 | Fixed 5V secondary output; independent of OUT1; requires ≥10μF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| 15 | ENABLE2 | Active-high enable for OUT2; internal 0.5μA pulldown - compatible with open-collector MCU GPIO. |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; set threshold via resistor divider to 1.231V reference - monitors battery or pre-regulator rail. |
| 17, 18 | IN | Main input supply (5V–72V); bypass with ≥1μF ceramic capacitor to GND near pins. |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate drive output; controls external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection (no diode drop). |
| 20 | ENABLE1 | Active-high enable for OUT1; internal 0.5μA pulldown - simplifies ignition-switch interface. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | ENABLE1 controls OUT1; ENABLE2 controls OUT2 - enables staggered power-up of MCU core and peripherals. |
| HOLD-based self-holding circuit | Eliminates need for external latch or pull-up resistors - reduces BOM count and board space in ignition-controlled modules. |
| WD-DIS watchdog disable pin | Hardware-disable of watchdog function without firmware reconfiguration - critical for diagnostic/test modes. |
| Reverse-battery protection driver (GATEP) | Drives external pFET to replace series diode - achieves <50mV dropout vs. 0.3–0.7V diode drop, improving cold-crank margin. |
| Adjustable reset & watchdog timeouts | CSRT and CSWT pins accept external capacitors - enables precise timing alignment with system bootloader and safety monitor windows. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6794TPZD3+T | Same dual-output architecture, but preset 3.3V/5V outputs (vs. MAX6793's 5V/5V); 87.5% reset threshold on OUT1. | Better suited for systems requiring 3.3V MCU core + 5V peripheral rail; identical pinout and package. | Select MAX6794TPZD3+T when 3.3V/5V rail pairing is required; MAX6793TPZD1+T preferred for dual 5V loads (e.g., dual CAN transceivers). |
| TLV70733PDQNR | Single-output 300mA LDO only; no supervision, watchdog, HOLD, or reverse-battery protection; max 5.5V input. | Limited to low-voltage, non-automotive applications; lacks reset, PFI, and high-voltage capability. | Not a functional substitute - only viable if supervision, wide VIN, and dual outputs are unnecessary and system uses ≤5.5V supply. |
Compared with MAX6794TPZD3+T, MAX6793TPZD1+T provides matched 5V/5V outputs ideal for dual-CAN or dual-sensor interfaces, while TLV70733PDQNR omits all supervisory functions and cannot operate above 5.5V - making it unsuitable for direct replacement in automotive 12V/24V systems.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6793TPZD1+T support?
The MAX6793TPZD1+T supports a fixed 5V output on OUT2 and a configurable OUT1 that can be preset to 5V (as indicated by "Z" in the suffix), or adjusted from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistor divider on SET1. The "Z" designation confirms the OUT1 preset is 5V, yielding dual 5V outputs - ideal for powering redundant CAN transceivers or dual-sensor interfaces in automotive applications.
How does the HOLD function work on the MAX6793TPZD1+T?
The HOLD input on the MAX6793TPZD1+T is an active-low signal that, when pulled low after initial regulator enablement, keeps OUT1 and OUT2 powered even if ENABLE1 or ENABLE2 are subsequently deasserted. This creates a self-holding circuit without external components. Releasing HOLD (letting it float or pulling high) shuts down both outputs - a key feature for ignition-controlled modules where power must persist after key-off until controlled shutdown completes.
Can the MAX6793TPZD1+T be used in 24V commercial vehicle systems?
Yes, the MAX6793TPZD1+T is explicitly rated for 5V to 72V input operation, making it suitable for 24V truck and bus platforms. Its ability to withstand 72V transients covers ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load-dump events without external clamping, and its -40°C to +125°C specification meets commercial vehicle under-hood thermal requirements. The GATEP pin further supports reverse-battery protection in harsh 24V environments.
What is the purpose of the WD-DIS pin on the MAX6793TPZD1+T?
The WD-DIS pin on the MAX6793TPZD1+T provides hardware-level disable of the watchdog timer. Driving WD-DIS low disables watchdog monitoring entirely, allowing the system to operate without periodic WDI toggling - essential during firmware updates, factory calibration, or diagnostic test modes where watchdog timeouts would otherwise cause unintended resets. This avoids software-only workarounds and enhances test flexibility.
Does the MAX6793TPZD1+T include overvoltage protection on its outputs?
Yes, the MAX6793TPZD1+T includes output overvoltage protection that activates when OUT1 or OUT2 exceeds 1.05× to 1.1× the nominal output voltage, sinking up to 10mA to clamp the rail. This protects downstream logic from damage due to regulator failure or feedback network faults. The protection threshold is internally referenced and guaranteed across temperature, ensuring robustness in automotive safety-critical subsystems.
