Product details
Overview
MAX6796TPSD0+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions, designed for automotive power management. It delivers up to 300mA output current, operates from 5V to 72V input, consumes only 68μA quiescent current, and features a 5V fixed output with 87.5% reset threshold and 35μs fixed reset timeout-ideal for engine control units under load-dump conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6796TPSD0+ datasheet, MAX6796TPSD0+ pinout, MAX6796TPSD0+ application, or MAX6796TPSD0+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100-qualified 20-pin TQFN package, 420mV typical dropout at 100mA, HOLD/ENABLE logic for ignition-controlled self-holding circuits, and watchdog disable capability via WD-DIS pin.
Technical Context
The MAX6796TPSD0+ implements a single LDO regulator with internal pFET pass element and precision bandgap reference, supporting fixed 5V output (L option) with ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C. Its RESET output asserts low when OUT drops below 4.375V (87.5% of 5V), then holds low for 35μs after recovery-enabling reliable microcontroller reset during cold-crank brownouts.
Supervision includes a dedicated watchdog timer with fixed 280ms timeout (CSWT tied to OUT), disableable via WD-DIS pin, and independent power-fail detection (PFI/PFO) referenced to 1.231V. The HOLD input enables latch-up behavior without external components by sourcing 2μA into OUT, sustaining regulation even after ENABLE removal.

| Reset Threshold | 4.375V (87.5% of 5V) - triggers reset before MCU brownout, with 35μs timeout |
| 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 TA = +70°C |
Pinout & Package
MAX6796TPSD0+ uses a 20-pin thermally enhanced TQFN-EP package (5mm × 5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND for optimal thermal performance. Pin count and layout match the MAX6791–MAX6796 family, enabling PCB reuse across dual/single variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | OUT | Regulator output (5V fixed); requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability |
| 3 | SET | Feedback input; grounded for 5V preset, or connected to resistive divider for adjustable output |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output; asserts low when PFI < 1.231V, used for early shutdown warning |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust; tied to OUT for fixed 280ms timeout (as in MAX6796TPSD0+) |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust; tied to OUT for fixed 35μs timeout (D0 suffix) |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to EP for thermal conduction |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; drives µP reset pin directly without pull-up |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge must occur within 280ms to prevent reset assertion |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold input; latches regulator ON when pulled low, enabling ignition-key self-hold |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; sets system brownout threshold via external resistor divider |
| 17, 18 | IN | Main regulator input; bypassed with 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND near pins |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate drive; controls external reverse-battery protection MOSFET |
| 20 | ENABLE | Active-high enable; internally pulldown (0.5μA), driven by ignition switch or system controller |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal pad; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for junction-to-board θJA ≤ 30°C/W |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 68μA enables >10-year battery standby in always-on automotive modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage automotive regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6795TPSD2/V+ | Same 5V fixed output and D2 reset timeout (12.5ms), but lacks WD-DIS pin and uses different pinout for watchdog control (WDS0/WDS1 instead of WD-DIS) | Requires redesign of watchdog enable/disable logic; not suitable where hardware-level watchdog disable is mandatory | Select MAX6795TPSD2/V+ only if windowed watchdog timing is required and WD-DIS is unnecessary |
| TLV70750PDQNR | Lower 5.5V max input, no supervisory functions, 200mA output, SOT-23-5 package | Cannot replace MAX6796TPSD0+ in automotive load-dump or watchdog-critical systems | Use TLV70750PDQNR only for non-automotive, low-voltage, cost-sensitive applications without supervision needs |

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX6796TPSD0+ provide?
The MAX6796TPSD0+ provides a fixed 5V output with ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C. This is confirmed by the "L" designation in the ordering code (TPSD0+), corresponding to 5V preset output per Maxim's selector guide. The device also supports adjustable outputs from 1.8V to 11V via the SET pin, but MAX6796TPSD0+ is factory-configured for 5V.
Does the MAX6796TPSD0+ include watchdog functionality?
Yes, the MAX6796TPSD0+ includes a configurable watchdog timer with fixed 280ms timeout (enabled by tying CSWT to OUT). It monitors the WDI pin for transitions and asserts RESET if no edge occurs within the timeout period. Watchdog operation can be disabled by driving the WD-DIS pin low-a feature explicitly supported in MAX6796TPSD0+ and documented in the functional diagram and pin description.
What is the purpose of the HOLD pin on the MAX6796TPSD0+?
The HOLD pin on the MAX6796TPSD0+ enables self-holding circuit behavior: when pulled low after initial enable, it forces the regulator to remain ON even if ENABLE is subsequently removed. This is achieved via an internal 2μA current source from OUT to HOLD. It eliminates external latch components in ignition-controlled automotive systems-directly supporting use cases like body control modules where power must persist after key-off until controlled shutdown.
Is the MAX6796TPSD0+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6796TPSD0+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0, –40°C to +150°C junction temperature) and specified for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation. Its 72V input rating, thermal shutdown at +165°C with 20°C hysteresis, and robust ESD protection align with automotive reliability standards. The "/V+" suffix in related variants confirms automotive qualification, and MAX6796TPSD0+ shares identical construction and testing.
How does the reset timeout work on the MAX6796TPSD0+?
The MAX6796TPSD0+ uses a fixed 35μs reset timeout period, indicated by the "D0" suffix in its part number. When the 5V output falls below 4.375V (87.5% of nominal), RESET asserts low immediately. After the output recovers above threshold, RESET remains low for exactly 35μs before deasserting-ensuring sufficient hold time for microcontroller reset sequencing without external timing components.
