Product details
Overview
The MAX6795TPZD4+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions (RESET, watchdog, power-fail detection, and hold control), designed for automotive systems. It operates from 5V to 72V input, delivers up to 300mA output current, features 68μA quiescent current, and provides a fixed 5V output with 92.5% reset threshold and 200ms fixed reset timeout - ideal for engine control units and body electronics requiring robust brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6795TPZD4+ datasheet, MAX6795TPZD4+ pinout, MAX6795TPZD4+ application, or MAX6795TPZD4+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100-qualified 20-pin TQFN package, -40°C to +125°C operation, 420mV typical dropout at 100mA, adjustable or preset output (5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V), and dual-mode watchdog with disable capability.
Technical Context
The MAX6795TPZD4+ implements a single LDO regulator with internal pFET pass element, thermal shutdown (165°C), short-circuit protection, and output overvoltage clamping at 1.05×VOUT. Its RESET output is push-pull active-low with fixed 200ms timeout (CSRT = D4), and reset threshold is preset to 4.625V (92.5% of 5V nominal) per ordering code 'Z'.
It integrates a fixed 280ms watchdog timeout (CSWT = OUT), configurable via WD-DIS pin, and supports self-holding via HOLD input tied to OUT. The device uses SET feedback for output voltage configuration and includes PFI/PFO for external power-fail monitoring with 1.231V internal reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 72V - withstands automotive load-dump transients without external protection. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±2.5% (L grade) - stable supply for MCU core/logic in harsh environments. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA typical - enables always-on functionality in battery-sensitive automotive modules. |
| Reset Threshold | 4.625V (92.5% of 5V) - triggers reliable brownout detection before system instability. |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms (D4 code) - ensures sufficient processor reset hold time after voltage recovery. |
| Dropout Voltage | 420mV typ at 100mA - maintains regulation during cold-crank (6V battery) conditions. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive deployment. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6795TPZD4+ is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin TQFN package (5mm × 5mm, exposed pad), rated for 2.7W power dissipation and optimized for high-ambient automotive applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | OUT | Regulator output (5V); requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 3 | SET | Feedback node - grounded for 5V preset; connected to resistive divider for adjustable output. |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output - asserts low when PFI falls below 1.231V reference. |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust - tied to OUT for fixed 280ms timeout (per D4 ordering). |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust - tied to OUT for fixed 200ms timeout (D4 code). |
| 7 | GND | Power and signal ground - must connect exposed pad (EP) to PCB ground plane. |
| 8 | RESET | Push-pull active-low reset - drives µP reset pin directly; no pull-up required. |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input - toggling within 280ms prevents reset assertion. |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold control - keeps regulator on even after ENABLE goes low. |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input - used with resistor divider to set custom brownout threshold. |
| 17,18 | IN | Main input - bypassed with 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND near pins. |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate driver - controls external reverse-battery protection MOSFET. |
| 20 | ENABLE | Active-high enable - internally pulled down; logic high initiates startup sequence. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 68μA enables >10-year battery standby in always-on automotive modules. |
| Integrated hold function | HOLD pin allows self-holding circuit without external latch components or software intervention. |
| Dual-mode watchdog | Fixed 280ms timeout with WD-DIS pin disable - eliminates need for external timer IC. |
| Reverse-battery protection drive | GATEP output directly drives pFET gate - replaces lossy series diode with <50mΩ RDS(on) solution. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 0 (-40°C to +150°C junction) - validated for critical automotive subsystems. |
| Thermal & fault protection | Includes thermal shutdown (165°C), short-circuit current limit (480mA), and output overvoltage clamp. |

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 5V output but 12.5ms reset timeout (D2) and automotive-grade /V suffix; identical pinout and electrical specs. | Suitable where shorter reset hold time is acceptable (e.g., fast-boot infotainment systems). | Select when system timing budget requires sub-50ms reset assertion; verify µP reset pulse width compatibility. |
| TLV70733PDQNR | Lower voltage range (2.5V–5.5V), 300mA, 25μA IQ, no watchdog or RESET - lacks supervisory features. | Only viable in non-automotive, low-input-voltage applications with external reset IC. | Use only if input stays within 5.5V and external reset/watchdog circuitry is already present. |
Compared with MAX6795TPZD4+, MAX6795TPSD2/V+ offers identical functionality with shorter reset timeout for faster recovery, while TLV70733PDQNR omits all supervisory functions and cannot replace it in automotive safety-critical roles.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX6795TPZD4+ provide?
The MAX6795TPZD4+ provides a fixed 5.0V output with ±2.5% accuracy over temperature and load. Its ordering code 'Z' specifies the 92.5% reset threshold variant (4.625V), and the 'D4' suffix indicates a 200ms fixed reset timeout period. This output is optimized for powering automotive microcontrollers and peripheral ICs requiring stable, noise-immune 5V rails.
Does the MAX6795TPZD4+ include watchdog functionality?
Yes, the MAX6795TPZD4+ includes a configurable watchdog timer with fixed 280ms timeout (CSWT tied to OUT). It can be disabled using the WD-DIS pin. Unlike windowed variants (MAX6791/MAX6792), the MAX6795TPZD4+ implements a standard timeout watchdog - asserting RESET if WDI fails to toggle within the timeout window. This simplifies firmware integration while maintaining fail-safe behavior.
How is the reset timeout period configured on the MAX6795TPZD4+?
The MAX6795TPZD4+ uses the CSRT pin to configure reset timeout. With ordering code 'D4', CSRT is internally connected to OUT, selecting a fixed 200ms timeout period. No external capacitor is needed. This value is guaranteed over -40°C to +125°C and ensures µP reset assertion remains active long enough for complete initialization after brownout recovery.
Can the MAX6795TPZD4+ be used in reverse-battery protection circuits?
Yes, the MAX6795TPZD4+ integrates a dedicated GATEP output that drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET to implement reverse-battery protection. When reverse polarity is applied, GATEP holds the MOSFET off, blocking current flow. This eliminates the power loss and heat generation associated with series Schottky diodes - improving efficiency in always-on automotive modules powered by 12V lead-acid batteries.
What is the purpose of the HOLD pin on the MAX6795TPZD4+?
The HOLD pin on the MAX6795TPZD4+ enables self-holding operation: once ENABLE is asserted and the regulator starts, pulling HOLD low maintains regulation even if ENABLE returns low. Releasing HOLD shuts down the output. This eliminates external latching circuitry in ignition-switched systems - for example, allowing a brief key-turn to initiate sustained power for CAN bus wake-up without continuous microcontroller intervention.
