Product details
Overview
MAX6796TPMD1+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions, designed for automotive power management. It operates from 5V to 72V input, delivers up to 300mA output current, features 68μA quiescent current, and provides fixed 5V output with 92.5% reset threshold - enabling robust operation during load-dump events in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6796TPMD1+T datasheet, MAX6796TPMD1+T pinout, MAX6796TPMD1+T application, or MAX6796TPMD1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100-qualified 5mm × 5mm TQFN package, capacitor-adjustable watchdog/reset timeout, HOLD-enabled self-holding circuitry, and thermal protection up to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The MAX6796TPMD1+T implements a single high-side linear regulator with internal pFET gate drive (GATEP) for reverse-battery protection and integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer (fixed 280ms or capacitor-adjustable) plus a RESET output with programmable timeout (35μs to 200ms). Its SET pin enables fixed 5V output or adjustable 1.8V–11V regulation via external resistor divider.
Supervisory logic monitors OUT voltage against a precision 92.5% reset threshold (4.625V nominal at 5V output), asserts open-drain/push-pull RESET on dropout or watchdog fault, and supports HOLD-based latching without external components - all while maintaining full -40°C to +125°C operation and AEC-Q100 compliance.
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 microcontroller core rails and CAN transceivers |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA typical - enables always-on functionality in battery-sensitive systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 420mV typ at 100mA - maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.42V |
| Reset Threshold | 92.5% of VOUT (4.625V at 5V output) - precise brownout detection aligned to regulated rail |
| Watchdog Timeout | 280ms min (fixed) or capacitor-adjustable - configurable fault-detection window for MCU supervision |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments |
| Package | 20-pin TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) - thermally enhanced for 2.7W dissipation at +70°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
MAX6796TPMD1+T uses a 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) package with exposed pad (EP) connected internally to GND for low-thermal-resistance PCB mounting.
| 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 - tied to GND for 5V fixed output; used with resistive divider for adjustable 1.8V–11V |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output - asserts when PFI falls below 1.231V threshold |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust - connect to OUT for fixed 280ms timeout or to capacitor for adjustable period |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust - connect to OUT for fixed timeout (D1 = 3.125ms) or to capacitor for user-defined delay |
| 7 | GND | Power and signal ground - connects to EP for thermal conduction |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low reset output - push-pull or open-drain; holds low for CSRT-defined period after VOUT recovery |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising/falling edge must occur within timeout window to prevent RESET assertion |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold enable - forces regulator ON even if ENABLE goes low; latches self-holding state |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input - set threshold via resistor divider to monitor battery or pre-regulated rail |
| 17,18 | IN | Main regulator input - bypass with 1μF capacitor to GND; accepts 5V–72V supply |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate driver - drives external PMOS for reverse-battery protection without series diode loss |
| 20 | ENABLE | Active-high enable - internal 0.5μA pulldown; logic high turns regulator ON |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 68μA enables >10-year battery standby in always-on automotive modules |
| Integrated reverse-battery protection | GATEP output drives external pFET - eliminates 0.3V–0.7V diode drop and associated heat |
| Self-holding circuit support | HOLD pin latches regulator ON without external latch IC or discrete components |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | CSRT and CSWT pins allow precise tuning of reset/watchdog timeouts across production lots |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified per Grade 0 (-40°C to +125°C) - validated for engine control, ADAS, and body domain ECUs |
| Thermal & overcurrent protection | 165°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis and 480mA short-circuit limit - prevents field failure under overload |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage linear regulator with supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6795TPMD2/V+ | Same family, identical pinout and electrical specs; differs only in reset timeout option (D2 = 12.5ms vs D1 = 3.125ms) | Used where longer reset hold time is required after brownout recovery | Select MAX6796TPMD1+T for faster system restart; choose MAX6795TPMD2/V+ only if 12.5ms reset timeout is mandated by MCU reset timing spec |
| TLE42764GV50 | Infineon automotive LDO; 450mA output, 70μA IQ, but no integrated watchdog or HOLD function | Lacks self-holding and watchdog supervision - requires external circuitry for latching or MCU supervision | Choose MAX6796TPMD1+T when HOLD-based ignition latching or watchdog supervision is required; TLE42764GV50 suits simpler always-on 5V rail needs |
Compared with MAX6795TPMD2/V+, MAX6796TPMD1+T offers shorter 3.125ms reset timeout for rapid MCU recovery; versus TLE42764GV50, it integrates HOLD and watchdog - reducing BOM count and board space in complex automotive nodes.

FAQ
What output voltage does MAX6796TPMD1+T deliver?
MAX6796TPMD1+T delivers a fixed 5V output. The "MD1" suffix indicates preset 5V output with 92.5% reset threshold (4.625V) and 3.125ms reset timeout. It can also be configured for adjustable output from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistor divider on the SET pin - though the factory-programmed MD1 variant is optimized for 5V use.
Does MAX6796TPMD1+T support reverse-battery protection?
Yes, MAX6796TPMD1+T supports reverse-battery protection via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. When battery polarity is reversed, the IC disables the pFET, blocking current flow and protecting downstream circuitry - eliminating the need for lossy series diodes and their associated voltage drop and thermal issues.
How does the HOLD function work on MAX6796TPMD1+T?
The HOLD pin on MAX6796TPMD1+T enables self-holding operation: once ENABLE is asserted and the regulator starts, pulling HOLD low latches the output ON permanently - even if ENABLE later goes low. Releasing HOLD (pulling high or leaving open) shuts down the regulator. This allows ignition-key-triggered power sequencing without external latch components.
Is MAX6796TPMD1+T AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, MAX6796TPMD1+T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0, -40°C to +125°C). It undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD per automotive standards, making it suitable for under-hood applications such as engine control, transmission control, and ADAS sensors where reliability under extreme thermal and electrical conditions is mandatory.
Can the watchdog timer on MAX6796TPMD1+T be disabled?
Yes, the watchdog timer on MAX6796TPMD1+T can be disabled using the WD-DIS pin. Driving WD-DIS low disables the watchdog function entirely, allowing the device to operate as a pure regulator and supervisor without periodic WDI toggling requirements - useful during MCU debug, bootloader execution, or low-power sleep modes where watchdog supervision is unnecessary.
