Product details
Overview
MAX6796TPZD1+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 a preset 5V output with 92.5% reset threshold - enabling robust operation during load-dump transients in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6796TPZD1+T datasheet, MAX6796TPZD1+T pinout, MAX6796TPZD1+T application, or MAX6796TPZD1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100-qualified 20-pin TQFN package, capacitor-adjustable watchdog/reset timeout, HOLD-enabled self-holding circuitry, and thermal protection up to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The MAX6796TPZD1+T implements a single LDO regulator with internal pFET pass device and precision bandgap reference, supporting fixed 5V output (L option) with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature. Its supervisory block integrates a windowed watchdog timer (via WDS0/WDS1), active-low open-drain/push-pull RESET with programmable timeout (CSRT), and power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) referenced to 1.231V.
Control logic includes ENABLE (active-high) and HOLD (active-low) inputs enabling ignition-key–driven self-holding behavior: once enabled, pulling HOLD low sustains regulation even after ENABLE returns low - eliminating external latching components in automotive body control modules.
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 to power microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensors in ECUs |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA typical - enables always-on functionality in battery-sensitive applications |
| Dropout Voltage | 420mV at 100mA - ensures stable 5V output even at VIN = 5.42V during cold-crank |
| Reset Threshold | 4.625V (92.5% of 5V) - triggers reset before MCU brownout in supply sag conditions |
| Watchdog Timeout | 280ms fixed (CSWT tied to OUT) - detects firmware lockup in safety-critical subsystems |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6796TPZD1+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 5mm × 5mm, 20-pin TQFN-EP package (exposed pad connected to GND), rated for 2.7W power dissipation and compatible with standard reflow profiles (260°C peak).
| 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 mode, or connected to resistive divider for adjustable output |
| 4 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output; asserts low when PFI < 1.231V - used for early battery-low warning |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust; tied to OUT for 280ms fixed timeout or capacitor-grounded for adjustment |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust; tied to OUT for 3.125ms fixed timeout or capacitor-grounded for adjustment |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to PCB ground plane via exposed pad |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low reset output; push-pull or open-drain configurable - drives µP reset pin directly |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input; requires edge transition within timeout period to prevent reset assertion |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold enable; forces regulator ON after initial enable, enabling self-hold without external parts |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; accepts resistor divider to set custom undervoltage detection threshold |
| 17,18 | IN | Main input supply; bypassed with 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND near pins |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate drive; controls external reverse-battery protection MOSFET - eliminates series diode loss |
| 20 | ENABLE | Active-high enable; internally pulled down - driven by ignition-switched 12V signal in automotive systems |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ (68μA) | Enables permanent connection to vehicle battery without excessive parasitic drain |
| 72V Input Withstand | Eliminates need for external TVS or Zener clamping during ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a load dump |
| HOLD Self-Holding Logic | Allows ignition-key–initiated power-up with sustained regulation after key-off, simplifying ECU wake/sleep sequencing |
| Integrated Reverse-Battery Protection | GATEP output drives pFET to block reverse current - removes 0.3–0.7V diode drop and associated heat |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, and UHAST |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6795TPZD1+T | Identical pinout and electrical specs; differs only in reset threshold (87.5% vs. 92.5%) and default CSRT/CSWT timing codes | Suitable where lower reset threshold is required to tolerate deeper supply sags before reset assertion | Select MAX6795TPZD1+T if system requires earlier reset assertion during brownout - otherwise MAX6796TPZD1+T preferred for tighter reset margin |
| TLE42764GV50 | 45μA IQ, 45V max input, no watchdog or HOLD function; fixed 5V output with 90% reset threshold | Lacks self-hold and watchdog - requires external circuitry for ignition-key latching and firmware monitoring | Choose TLE42764GV50 only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications where supervisory features are omitted |
Compared with MAX6795TPZD1+T, MAX6796TPZD1+T offers higher reset threshold for improved noise immunity; versus TLE42764GV50, it adds HOLD latching and watchdog - reducing BOM count and enhancing functional safety compliance in ASIL-B systems.

FAQ
What output voltage does MAX6796TPZD1+T provide?
MAX6796TPZD1+T provides a fixed 5V output (L option) with ±2.5% tolerance over −40°C to +125°C. The "Z" in the part number denotes the 5V preset output; SET pin is grounded internally for this variant. Output remains regulated down to VIN = 5.42V due to 420mV dropout at 100mA.
How is the reset timeout period configured on MAX6796TPZD1+T?
The reset timeout period on MAX6796TPZD1+T is configured via the CSRT pin: tying CSRT to OUT selects a fixed 3.125ms timeout (D1 code), while connecting a capacitor from CSRT to GND allows user adjustment (e.g., 100nF yields ~50ms). The D1 suffix in MAX6796TPZD1+T confirms the 3.125ms factory setting.
Does MAX6796TPZD1+T support reverse-battery protection?
Yes, MAX6796TPZD1+T supports reverse-battery protection via its GATEP pin, which drives the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. When reverse polarity is applied, the IC disables the MOSFET, blocking current flow - eliminating the need for a series Schottky diode and its associated 0.3–0.7V forward drop and thermal loss.
What is the function of the HOLD pin on MAX6796TPZD1+T?
The HOLD pin on MAX6796TPZD1+T enables self-holding behavior: after ENABLE turns the regulator on, pulling HOLD low sustains regulation even if ENABLE later goes low - allowing ignition-key–initiated power-up with sustained operation after key removal. Releasing HOLD shuts down the output, enabling clean ECU sleep/wake sequencing.
Is MAX6796TPZD1+T qualified for automotive use?
Yes, MAX6796TPZD1+T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0: −40°C to +125°C) and designed specifically for automotive applications. It meets stringent requirements for thermal cycling, humidity, and electrical stress, and includes built-in thermal shutdown (+165°C), short-circuit protection, and output overvoltage protection - ensuring reliability in under-hood environments.
