Product details
Overview
The MAX6796TPTD3+ 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 a fixed 3.3V output with 87.5% reset threshold and 50ms reset timeout - ideal for engine control units under load-dump conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6796TPTD3+ datasheet, MAX6796TPTD3+ pinout, MAX6796TPTD3+ application, or MAX6796TPTD3+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100-qualified 20-pin TQFN package, dual-mode watchdog (fixed or capacitor-adjustable), HOLD/ENABLE logic for self-holding ignition circuits, and thermal protection up to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The MAX6796TPTD3+ implements a single high-side pFET-based LDO architecture with internal feedback via SET pin, supporting either preset 3.3V output or adjustable 1.8V–11V operation. Its RESET output is push-pull active-low, asserting when OUT drops below 87.5% of nominal (2.888V min) and holding low for 50ms after recovery.
Supervision includes a capacitor-adjustable watchdog timer (CSWT) with fixed 280ms base timeout and a programmable reset timeout (CSRT = D3 → 50ms), plus HOLD input enabling latch-up behavior without external components - all validated across –40°C to +125°C per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 72V - withstands automotive load-dump transients without external clamping. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V (±2.5% over temp) - matches common MCU I/O and CAN transceiver rails. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in body control modules. |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA at no load - enables always-on functionality in vehicle battery-sensitive applications. |
| Dropout Voltage | 420mV typ at 100mA - ensures regulation down to VIN = 3.72V while delivering 3.3V. |
| Reset Threshold | 87.5% of VOUT (2.888V min) - triggers reset before MCU brownout, with 50ms timeout for safe firmware recovery. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin, 5mm × 5mm thermally enhanced TQFN-EP (exposed pad grounded), rated for 2.7W dissipation at +70°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | OUT | Regulator output (3.3V fixed); requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 3 | SET | Feedback node - tied to GND for 3.3V preset; used with external divider for adjustable outputs. |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output - asserts low when PFI < 1.231V, enabling early battery-low warning. |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust - connected to OUT for fixed 280ms timeout; capacitor to GND enables adjustment. |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust - connected to OUT for fixed 50ms (D3 code); capacitor enables user-defined delay. |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to PCB ground plane via exposed pad. |
| 8 | RESET | Push-pull active-low reset - drives µP reset pin directly; no pull-up required. |
| 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 after ENABLE goes low; latches ignition state. |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input - set via resistor divider to monitor battery or pre-regulated rail voltage. |
| 17,18 | IN | Main input - bypassed with 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND; accepts up to +80V transient. |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate drive - controls external high-side MOSFET for reverse-battery protection (no diode drop). |
| 20 | ENABLE | Active-high enable - internally pulled down; driven high by ignition switch or system controller. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ (68μA) | Enables >10-year battery standby in always-on automotive modules without parasitic drain. |
| 72V Input Tolerance | Eliminates need for external TVS or Zener clamping during ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a load-dump events. |
| Integrated HOLD Function | Permits self-holding ignition circuit using only one GPIO - no external latch or MOSFET required. |
| Capacitor-Adjustable Reset/Watchdog | Allows precise tuning of tRP and tWD to match MCU boot time and firmware watchdog window. |
| Reverse-Battery Protection Drive (GATEP) | Directly drives pFET gate to achieve <50mV forward drop - replaces lossy series diode solutions. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Body Control Module (BCM) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6795TPTD3+ | Identical pinout, specs, and features - differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (2.5k vs. standard reel). | No functional difference; same automotive qualification and temperature range. | Select MAX6795TPTD3+ only if volume procurement requires nonstandard reel size. |
| TPS7B8733QKVURQ1 | 3.3V fixed output, 350mA, 35μA IQ, 40V max input - lacks watchdog, HOLD, GATEP, and 72V tolerance. | Suitable for lower-voltage 24V commercial vehicles; not rated for 12V load-dump or reverse-battery. | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive industrial applications where full MAX6796TPTD3+ feature set is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6795TPTD3+, the MAX6796TPTD3+ offers identical electrical performance but is optimized for standard tape-and-reel logistics; versus TPS7B8733QKVURQ1, it adds critical automotive safety features - including 72V tolerance, reverse-battery drive, and dual-mode watchdog - at higher BOM cost but essential for OEM compliance.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX6796TPTD3+ provide?
The MAX6796TPTD3+ provides a fixed 3.3V output voltage, factory-trimmed to ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage" for T/S option, with typical load regulation of 2% from 1mA to 300mA. The "T" in the part number denotes 3.3V, and "D3" specifies the 50ms reset timeout period.
Does the MAX6796TPTD3+ support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the MAX6796TPTD3+ supports adjustable output from 1.8V to 11V using an external resistive divider connected between OUT, SET, and GND. However, the TPTD3+ variant is configured for fixed 3.3V operation - the SET pin is internally connected to GND. To use adjustable mode, a different variant (e.g., MAX6796TPAD3+) with "A" suffix must be selected.
What is the purpose of the HOLD pin on the MAX6796TPTD3+?
The HOLD pin on the MAX6796TPTD3+ is an active-low input that enables self-holding behavior: once ENABLE is asserted and the regulator turns on, pulling HOLD low maintains regulation even if ENABLE subsequently goes low. Releasing HOLD shuts down the output. This eliminates external latch circuitry in ignition-switched automotive systems.
How is the reset timeout period set for the MAX6796TPTD3+?
The reset timeout period for the MAX6796TPTD3+ is set to 50ms (D3 code) by connecting the CSRT pin to the OUT pin. This selects the internally fixed 50ms timeout; alternatively, a capacitor from CSRT to GND allows user-adjustable timeout per the formula tRP ≈ 1.22 × CCSRT × VTH, where VTH = 1.218V.
Is the MAX6796TPTD3+ qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MAX6796TPTD3+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0: –40°C to +125°C) and specified for automotive applications. Its 72V input range, reverse-battery protection drive (GATEP), integrated watchdog, and thermal shutdown meet stringent OEM requirements for engine bay and chassis-mounted ECUs.
