High-Voltage, Micropower, Single/Dual
Linear Regulators with Supervisory Functions
General Description
The MAX6791–MAX6796 ultra-low-quiescent-current,
single-/dual-output linear regulators are ideal for auto-
motive applications. The devices offer a wide 5V to 72V
operating input range, allowing them to withstand auto-
motive load-dump conditions while consuming only
68µA. The MAX6791–MAX6794 are dual-output regula-
tors 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 peri-
od adjustable with an external capacitor. The
MAX6791/MAX6792 feature a windowed watchdog
timeout period with selectable window ratio. The watch-
dog 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 (HOLD) that aids the
implementation of a self-holding circuit without requir-
ing external components. Once the regulator is
enabled, setting
HOLD
low forces the regulator to
remain on even if ENABLE/ENABLE1 is subsequently
set low. Releasing
HOLD
shuts down the regulator.
The MAX6791–MAX6796 are available in a small, ther-
mally 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.

For tape-and-reel, add a T after the “+.” Tape-and-reel are
offered in 2.5k increments. The first placeholder “_” designates
preset output-voltage option and preset reset threshold level;
see Table 1. The second placeholder “_ ” designates the reset
timeout period; see Table 2. For example, the MAX6791TPSD3+
indicates a 3.3V output voltage with a reset threshold of 87.5%
at nominal voltage and a 50ms reset timeout period. Samples
are generally held in stock. Nonstandard versions require a 2.5k
minimum order quantity.
