MAX6469–MAX6484
The MAX6469–MAX6484 are low-dropout linear regula-
tors with a fully integrated microprocessor reset circuit.
Each is available with preset output voltages from +1.5V
to +3.3V in 100mV increments and delivers up to 300mA
of load current. These devices consume only 82µA of
supply current. The low supply current, low dropout volt-
age, and integrated reset functionality make these
devices ideal for battery-powered portable equipment.
The MAX6469–MAX6484 include a reset output that indi-
cates when the regulator output drops below standard
microprocessor supply tolerances (-7.5% or -12.5% of
nominal output voltage). This eliminates the need for an
external microprocessor supervisor, while ensuring that
supply voltages and clock oscillators have stabilized
before processor activity is enabled. Push-pull and open-
drain active-low reset outputs are available, with reset
timeout periods of 2.5ms, 20ms, 150ms, or 1200ms (min).
The MAX6469/MAX6470/MAX6473–MAX6478/MAX6481–
MAX6484 also have a shutdown feature that reduces the
supply current to 0.1µA (typ). The MAX6471–MAX6474/
MAX6479–MAX6482 offer a manual reset input to assert a
microprocessor reset while the regulator output is within
specification. The MAX6475/MAX6476/MAX6483/
MAX6484 feature a remote feedback sense pin for use
with an external NPN transistor for higher-current applica-
tions. The MAX6469–MAX6476 are available in 6-pin
SOT23 and 8-pin TDFN packages. The MAX6477–
MAX6484 are available in a 3
×
3 chip-scale package
(UCSP™). All devices are specified for operation from
-40°C to +85°C.

Note:
The first “_ _” are placeholders for the output voltage lev-
els of the devices. Desired output voltages are set by the suffix
found in the Output Voltage Suffix Guide (Table 1). The third “_”
is a placeholder for the reset threshold accuracy. Desired reset
threshold accuracy is set by the suffix found in the Reset
Threshold Accuracy Guide (Table 2). The “_” following the D is
a placeholder for the reset timeout delay time. Desired reset
timeout delay time is set by the suffix found in the Reset
Timeout Delay Guide (Table 3). For example, the
MAX6481BL30BD4-T has a 3.0V output voltage, 12.5% reset
threshold tolerance, and a 1200ms (min) reset timeout delay.
Sample stock is generally available on standard versions only
(Table 4). Standard versions require a minimum order incre-
ment of 2.5k units. Nonstandard versions must be ordered in
10k-unit increments. Contact factory for availability.

Note 1:
The MAX6477–MAX6484 are constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal pro-
file the devices can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder
profiles recommended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and
Convection reflow. Pre-heating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
