Product details
Overview
MAX6795TPWD0+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions (RESET, watchdog, power-fail detection) for automotive systems. It operates from 5V to 72V input, delivers up to 300mA output current, features 68μA quiescent current, and supports fixed (5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) or adjustable (1.8V–11V) output voltage - ideal for engine control units under load-dump conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6795TPWD0+ datasheet, MAX6795TPWD0+ pinout, MAX6795TPWD0+ application, or MAX6795TPWD0+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100-qualified 20-pin TQFN package, 280ms fixed watchdog timeout (D0 variant), 35μs reset assertion delay, thermal/short-circuit/overvoltage protection, and HOLD-enabled self-holding circuit implementation without external components.
Technical Context
The MAX6795TPWD0+ implements a single high-side pFET-based LDO regulator with dropout voltage as low as 84mV at 20mA (typ) and 1.2V at 300mA (typ), optimized for wide-input automotive battery rails. Its supervisory block integrates a fixed-threshold RESET output (92.5% of VOUT), capacitor-adjustable or internally fixed reset timeout (35μs–200ms), and a non-windowed watchdog timer with 280ms minimum timeout (CSWT = OUT).
It features dual enable logic: ENABLE asserts regulation, while HOLD sustains output after ENABLE release - enabling ignition-key-triggered latching behavior. The device includes reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven pFET, PFI/PFO comparator for battery monitoring, and internal 1.231V reference for precision thresholding across –40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 72V - withstands automotive load-dump transients without external clamping. |
| Output Current | 300mA continuous - sufficient for MCU core + peripheral rail in body control modules. |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA (typ) - enables always-on functionality in low-power sleep modes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 84mV (typ) at 20mA; 1.2V (typ) at 300mA - maintains regulation during cold-crank (6V battery) at full load. |
| Reset Timeout | 35μs (fixed D0 option) - ensures fast microprocessor reset assertion during brownout. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 280ms (min, fixed) - provides robust firmware supervision without external timing components. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6795TPWD0+ is housed in a 5mm × 5mm, 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN-EP package (exposed pad connected to GND), rated for 2.7W power dissipation and qualified per AEC-Q100.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | OUT | Regulator output - delivers up to 300mA; requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 3 | SET | Feedback input - connect to GND for preset voltage (5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) or resistive divider for 1.8V–11V adjustment. |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output - asserts low when PFI falls below 1.231V; used for early battery-low warning. |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust - tied to OUT for fixed 280ms timeout (D0 configuration). |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust - tied to OUT for fixed 35μs timeout (D0 configuration). |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground - connects to exposed pad for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low reset output - push-pull type; asserts when OUT drops below 92.5% VOUT or watchdog expires. |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input - requires edge transition every ≤280ms to prevent reset assertion. |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold input - forces regulator ON even after ENABLE goes low; enables self-holding ignition circuits. |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input - accepts resistive divider to set custom undervoltage threshold (e.g., battery monitoring). |
| 17,18 | IN | Main regulator input - bypass with 1μF ceramic capacitor; handles 5V–72V transients. |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate drive - controls external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection (no series diode needed). |
| 20 | ENABLE | Active-high enable - internal 0.5μA pulldown; driven by ignition signal to initiate regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 68μA enables >10-year battery standby life in always-on automotive modules. |
| Integrated reverse-battery protection | GATEP output drives external pFET - eliminates 0.3–0.7V diode drop and associated heat in battery feed paths. |
| Self-holding circuit support | HOLD input sustains regulation after ENABLE release - implements ignition-key latching without relays or external logic. |
| Fixed 35μs reset assertion | D0 variant guarantees sub-50μs response to output collapse - meets ASIL-B timing requirements for safety-critical resets. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified for automotive Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C) - validated for under-hood ECU, ADAS, and gateway applications. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage supervisory regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6795TPSD2/V+ | Same family, 5V fixed output, 12.5ms reset timeout (D2), AEC-Q100 qualified. | Targets systems requiring longer reset hold time (e.g., complex bootloader sequences). | Select when 12.5ms reset assertion is required instead of 35μs; identical pinout and thermal performance. |
| TLD6512-2ES | Infineon 65V LDO with 250mA output, 70μA IQ, no integrated watchdog or HOLD function. | Lacks self-holding and windowed supervision - requires external circuitry for ignition latching. | Choose only if watchdog/HOLD features are unnecessary and cost is primary driver; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with MAX6795TPWD0+, MAX6795TPSD2/V+ offers extended reset duration for complex firmware initialization, while TLD6512-2ES reduces integration but demands external components for equivalent functionality - making MAX6795TPWD0+ optimal for space-constrained, safety-aware automotive nodes.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX6795TPWD0+ support?
The MAX6795TPWD0+ supports fixed output voltages of 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V - selected by grounding the SET pin - or an adjustable output from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistive divider between OUT, SET, and GND. The "D0" suffix confirms it uses the 35μs fixed reset timeout, not the output voltage; voltage option is determined by the third character in the full ordering code (e.g., "T" = 3.3V). MAX6795TPWD0+ is configured for 3.3V output.
Does the MAX6795TPWD0+ include reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6795TPWD0+ integrates reverse-battery protection via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET to block reverse current flow. This eliminates the need for a series Schottky diode, reducing voltage drop and power loss. The GATEP output is designed to interface directly with standard automotive pFETs and is fully characterized across the –40°C to +125°C range in the MAX6795TPWD0+ datasheet.
How does the HOLD function work in the MAX6795TPWD0+?
The HOLD input in the MAX6795TPWD0+ is an active-low signal that sustains regulator output even after ENABLE is deasserted. When ENABLE is pulled high to start regulation and HOLD is then pulled low, the MAX6795TPWD0+ remains ON regardless of ENABLE state. Releasing HOLD (pulling high or leaving open) shuts down the output. This enables self-holding ignition circuits without external components - a key feature confirmed for the MAX6795TPWD0+ in its functional diagram and Detailed Description section.
Is the MAX6795TPWD0+ AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, the MAX6795TPWD0+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0, –40°C to +125°C), as explicitly stated in the Benefits and Features section and Ordering Information table of the official datasheet. This qualification covers stress testing for automotive reliability, including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and ESD - confirming its suitability for under-hood and safety-critical applications where the MAX6795TPWD0+ is deployed.
What is the watchdog timeout configuration for MAX6795TPWD0+?
The MAX6795TPWD0+ uses the "D0" suffix to indicate its reset timeout is fixed at 35μs, and its watchdog timeout is fixed at 280ms (minimum) - achieved by connecting CSWT to OUT (as defined in Table 2 of the datasheet). This configuration is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Normal Watchdog Timeout Period" with tWD2 = 280.0–520.0ms (CSWT = OUT/OUT1). No external capacitor is required for this default watchdog setting in the MAX6795TPWD0+.
