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 voltage, and integrated reset functionality make these devices ideal for battery-powered portable equipment. The MAX6469–MAX6484 include a reset output that indicates 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 opendrain 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 applications. The MAX6469–MAX6476 are available in 6-pin SOT23 and 8-pin thin QFN 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.

These devices guarantee 300mA (min) drive capabilities and are available with preset output voltages in 100mV increments between +1.5V and +3.3V. The internal reset circuit monitors the regulator output voltage and asserts the reset output when the regulator output is below the microprocessor supply tolerance. MAX6469–MAX6484 2.5V TO 5.5V IN OUT MAX6469–MAX6472 MAX6477–MAX6480 (MR) MANUAL RESET GND SET R1 COUT R2 Regulator The regulator core operates with +2.5V to +5.5V input voltage range. The output voltage is offered in 100mV increments between +1.5V and +3.3V (contact factory for other output voltage options). The MAX6469 – MAX6472/MAX6477–MAX6480 offer an adjustable output voltage implemented with an external resistordivider network between OUT, SET, and GND (Figure 1). SET must be connected to either GND for fixed VOUT or to an external divider for adjustable VOUT. The MAX6469–MAX6472/MAX6477–MAX6480 automatically determine the feedback path depending on the connection of SET. The Typical Operating Circuit shows a typical connection for the MAX6469. OUT is an internally regulated low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator that powers a microprocessor. ( ) ARE FOR MAX6471/MAX6472/MAX6479/MAX6480 ONLY Figure 1. Adjustable Output Voltage Configuration the reset threshold. RESET asserts when MR is pulled low (MAX6471–MAX6474/MAX6479–MAX6482). RESET asserts when S HDN is pulled low (MAX6469/ MAX6470/MAX6473–MAX6478/MAX6481–MAX6484). Shutdown (MAX6469/MAX6470/MAX6473–MAX6478/MAX6481– MAX6484 only) SHDN allows the regulator to shut down, thereby reducing the total IIN consumption of the device. SHDN provides a digitally controlled active-low shutdown. In shutdown mode, the pass transistor, control circuit, and reference turn off to reduce the supply current to below 0.1µA. Connect SHDN to IN for normal operation. Manual Reset Input (MAX6471–MAX6474/MAX6479–MAX6482 only) Many µP-based products require manual reset capability, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external logic circuitry to initiate a reset. A logic low on M R asserts reset while the regulator output voltage is still within tolerance. Reset remains asserted while MR is low and for the reset timeout period (tRP) after MR returns high. The MR input has an internal pullup of 40kΩ (typ) to OUT. MR can be driven with TTL/CMOS logic levels or with open-drain/collector outputs. Connect a normally open switch from MR to GND to create a manual reset function; external debounce circuitry is not required. If MR is driven from long cables or the device is used in a noisy environment, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND to provide additional noise immunity. Feedback Input (MAX6475/MAX6476/MAX6483/MAX6484 only) The feedback input (FB) connects to an internal resistordivider network (Functional Diagram). FB is not internally connected to VOUT, and as a result can be used to 9 Reset Circuit The reset supervisor circuit is fully integrated in the MAX6469–MAX6484 and uses the same reference voltage as the regulator. Two supply tolerance reset thresholds, -7.5% and -12.5%, are provided for each type of device. -7.5% Reset: Reset does not assert until the regulator output voltage is at least -5% out of tolerance and always asserts before the regulator output voltage is -10% out of tolerance. -12.5% Reset: Reset does not assert until the regulator output voltage is at least -10% out of tolerance and always asserts before the regulator output voltage is -15% out of tolerance. RESET Output A µP’s reset input starts the µP in a known state. The MAX6469 – MAX6484 µP supervisory circuits assert RESET during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. RESET asserts when the input voltage is below the undervoltage lockout threshold. R ESET asserts when VOUT is below the reset threshold and remains asserted for at least the minimum selected reset timeout period (tRP, Table 3) after VIN rises above the undervoltage lockout threshold and VOUT rises above _______________________________________________________________________________________ 300mA LDO Linear Regulators with Internal Microprocessor Reset Circuit MAX6469–MAX6484 remotely sense the output voltage of the device. Using FB with an external NPN transistor, the current drive capability can be increased according to the following equation (Figure 2): IOUT(TOTAL) = IOUT ✕ (β+1) The external NPN pass transistor must meet specifications for current gain, power dissipation, and collector current. The beta influences the maximum output current the circuit can deliver. The largest guaranteed output current is given by ILOAD (max) = 300mA × beta (min). The transistor’s rated power dissipation must exceed the actual power dissipated in the transistor. The power dissipated (PD) equals the maximum load current (ILOAD (max)) times the maximum input-to-output voltage differential: PD = ILOAD (max) × (VIN (max) V OUT ). The rated transistor collector current must exceed the maximum load current. OUT-to-GND current through the LDO is 40µA (typ). The regulator output can be held up with an external super capacitor or backup battery at OUT until the IN battery is replaced. The RESET output is asserted while the IN battery is removed to place the system in a low-power mode. Volatile memory content is maintained until the super capacitor or battery voltage drops below RAM standby specifications. RESET deasserts when the IN battery has been replaced and OUT exceeds the desired reset threshold. For nonrechargeable backup battery applications, place a reverse diode between OUT and the backup battery (to prevent battery charging). The external diode does not affect the regulator’s dropout voltage because it is not between the LDO output and the processor/memory Vcc supply. The diode can be replaced with a current-limiting resistor for rechargeable backup battery applications. Current Limit The MAX6469–MAX6484 include an internal currentlimit circuit that monitors and controls the pass transistor’s gate voltage, limiting the output current to 450mA (min). The output can be shorted to ground indefinitely without damaging the part. Reverse Leakage Protection Reverse OUT to IN Current An internal circuit monitors the MAX6469 – MAX6484 input and output voltages. When the output voltage is greater than the input voltage, the internal IN-to-OUT pass transistor and parasitic diode turn off. An external voltage applied to OUT does not reverse charge a battery or power source applied to IN (the leakage path from OUT to IN is 0.01µA typ). When the output voltage exceeds the input voltage, OUT powers the device and shutdown must be logic high (greater than 0.7 ✕ VOUT). RESET asserts until IN exceeds OUT and OUT is above the specified VTHOUT threshold (based on the selected or adjusted regulator OUT nominal voltage). Thermal Shutdown When the junction temperature (TJ) exceeds +180°C (typ), the thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic, turning off the pass transistor and allowing the IC to REMOVABLE LITHIUM ION OR 3-CELL ALKALINE IN OUT Reverse OUT to Ground Current The MAX6469–MAX6484 maintain a low OUT-to-GND reverse-current flow when the IN power source is removed.

The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on again after the IC’s junction temperature cools by 20°C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal overload conditions. Thermal overload protection is designed to protect the MAX6469 – MAX6484 in the event of fault conditions. For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature rating of TJMAX = +150°C. Operating Region and Power Dissipation The MAX6469–MAX6484’s maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the case and circuit board, the temperature difference between the die junction and the ambient air, and the rate of airflow. The power dissipation across the device is: P = IOUT (VIN - VOUT) The maximum power dissipation is: PMAX = (TJ - TA) / (ØJB + ØBA) where TJ - TA is the temperature difference between the die junction and the surrounding air, ØJB (or ØJC) is the thermal resistance of the package, and ØBA is the thermal resistance through the PC board, copper traces, and other materials to the surrounding air. The MAX6469–MAX6476 QFN package ØJC = 41°C/W, and the MAX6469–MAX6476 SOT package ØJC = 110°C/W. The MAX6469–MAX6484’s ground pin (GND) performs the dual function of providing an electrical connection to the system ground and channeling heat away. Connect GND to the system ground using a large pad or ground plane. For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature rating of TJMAX = +150°C. resistor values greater than 100kΩ. In preset voltage mode, the impedance between SET and ground should always be less than 50kΩ. In most applications, connect SET directly to ground. MAX6469–MAX6484 Low-Noise UCSP Output MAX6477–MAX6484 UCSP products include internal filtering to yield low output noise without an additional external bypass capacitor. The devices yield 75µVRMS (typ) output noise (for VOUT = 3.0V) and 150µVRMS (for V OUT = 3.3V). This low-noise feature makes the MAX6477–MAX6484 ideal for audio applications. Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability For stable operation over the full temperature range and with load currents up to 300mA, use a 3.3µF (min) ceramic output capacitor with an ESR
