The MAX6791–MAX6796 ultra-low-quiescent-current, single-/dual-output linear regulators are ideal for automotive applications. The devices offer a wide 5V to 72V operating input range, allowing them to withstand automotive load-dump conditions while consuming only 68µA. The MAX6791–MAX6794 are dual-output regulators capable of supplying up to 150mA per output. The MAX6795/MAX6796 offer a single output capable of delivering up to 300mA. These devices offer standard output-voltage options (5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V) and can be adjusted to any voltage from 1.8V to 11V. The MAX6791–MAX6794 also offer a fixed 5V output.

All devices feature a push-pull or open-drain, active-low RESET output with a fixed output reset threshold that is 92.5%/87.5% of the regulator output OUT/OUT1. The reset output asserts low when OUT/OUT1 drops below the reset threshold and remains low for the fixed or capacitor-adjustable reset timeout period after OUT/OUT1 exceeds the reset threshold.

The MAX6791–MAX6796 provide a watchdog input that monitors a pulse train from the microprocessor (µP) and generates reset pulses if the watchdog input remains high or low for a duration longer than the watchdog timeout period. All devices are available with either a fixed watchdog timeout period of 280ms (min) or a period adjustable with an external capacitor. The MAX6791/MAX6792 feature a windowed watchdog timeout period with selectable window ratio. The watchdog feature can be disabled.

The MAX6791–MAX6794 provide dual enable inputs (ENABLE1 and ENABLE2) that control each regulator independently. The single-output MAX6795/MAX6796 feature one enable input (ENABLE).

All devices include a hold input (active-low HOLD) that aids the implementation of a self-holding circuit without requiring external components. Once the regulator is enabled, setting active-low HOLD low forces the regulator to remain on even if ENABLE/ENABLE1 is subsequently set low. Releasing active-low HOLD shuts down the regulator.

The MAX6791–MAX6796 are available in a small, thermally enhanced TQFN package. The 5mm x 5mm package dissipates up to 2.7W, supporting continuous regulator operation during high ambient temperatures, high battery voltage, and high load-current conditions.

The MAX6791–MAX6796 are specified for a -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range.

Evaluation Kit for the MAX6791

Features and Benefits

  • Wide 5V to 72V Supply Voltage Range
  • 100V Reverse-Battery Protection
  • Dual 5mA Regulator Outputs
  • Fixed or Adjustable Regulator Output
  • Windowed Watchdog Timer
  • ENABLE and HOLD Functions
  • Product Details

    The MAX6791 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven PC board layout that facilitates evaluation of the MAX6791 high-voltage, low-quiescent-current dual linear regulator. The EV kit can also evaluate the MAX6792–MAX6796. This EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount board.

    This EV kit includes an on-board p-channel FET for reverse-battery protection, a button to allow testing of the regulator hold feature, and connections to both regulators, the windowed watchdog timer, and the µP reset line. Two LEDs indicate the status of both voltage regulators. Jumpers provide control over all major features of the MAX6791. The EV kit operates at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C, although the MAX6791 itself can withstand temperatures up to +125°C.
