MAX6765–MAX6774
Automotive Micropower Linear Regulators
with Supervisor
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
General Description
The MAX6765–MAX6774B are low-quiescent-current,
high-voltage linear regulators that operate from 4V to 72V
and deliver up to 100mA of load current. These low-
power devices consume only 31µA of quiescent current,
making them ideal for always-on automotive modules.
These devices are offered with fixed standard output
options of 5.0V, 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V, or can be adjusted
from 1.8V to 11V with two external resistors.
The MAX6765–MAX6774B feature a push-pull or open-
drain, active-low RESET output with either fixed or
adjustable thresholds. Whenever the regulator’s output
falls below the reset threshold, the RESET output asserts
and remains asserted for at least the minimum reset
timeout period after the output voltage exceeds its
threshold. The minimum reset timeout period is offered
with fixed values from 75µs to 200ms or can be adjusted
externally with a small capacitor.
These devices provide three regulator enable modes to
accommodate several power-on schemes. The
MAX6765/MAX6766/MAX6769/MAX6770/MAX6773/
MAX6773B/MAX6774/MAX6774B feature a single tradi-
tional enable input (ENABLE) to turn on and off the regula-
tor. The MAX6771/MAX6772 provide dual enable inputs
(ENABLE1 and ENABLE2) to turn on and off the regulator
either through an ignition switch or a bus transceiver. The
MAX6767/MAX6768 provide a hold input (HOLD) in addi-
tion to the enable input to allow for the implementation of a
self-holding circuit without requiring external components.
Setting HOLD low after enabling the regulator forces the
regulator to remain on even if ENABLE is subsequently
set low. Releasing HOLD shuts down the regulator.
The MAX6773/MAX6773B/MAX6774/MAX6774B also
include a watchdog input that monitors a pulse train from
the microprocessor (µP) and generates a reset pulse if
the watchdog input remains high or low for a duration
longer than the 1.6s (typ) (MAX6773/MAX6774) or 50ms
(typ) (MAX6773B/MAX6774B) watchdog timeout period.
The MAX6765–MAX6774B are available in a small, ther-
mally enhanced 3mm x 3mm TDFN package that can
dissipate up to 1.951W, thereby supporting continuous
regulator operation during high ambient temperatures,
high battery voltage, and high load-current conditions.
The MAX6765–MAX6774B are fully specified for a -40°C
to +125°C operating temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX6765–MAX6774B low-quiescent-current, high-
voltage linear regulators operate from a 4V to 72V input
voltage and deliver more than 100mA of load current.
The MAX6765–MAX6774B include an integrated µP
reset circuit that monitors the regulator output voltage
and asserts a reset output when OUT falls below a
threshold limit, and includes an internally fixed or
adjustable reset timeout using a capacitor from TIME-
OUT to ground. All devices are available in a preset out-
put-voltage option of +1.8V, +2.5V, +3.3V, and +5V. The
output voltage of the MAX6767–MAX6774B is adjustable
from +1.8V to +11V using a resistive divider at SET. The
MAX6773/MAX6774 include a watchdog timer (WDI)
with a 1.6s (typ) watchdog timeout period and the
MAX6773B/MAX6774B include a watchdog timer with a
50ms (typ) watchdog timeout period. The MAX6769/
MAX6770 feature an adjustable reset threshold using a
resistive divider between the monitored voltage,
RESETIN, and GND; see the
Functional Diagrams
.
The MAX6771/MAX6772 provide dual enable inputs
(ENABLE1 and ENABLE2) to turn on and off the regula-
tor either through an ignition switch or a bus transceiver.

Regulator
The regulator accepts an input voltage from +4V to +72V.
All of the devices feature fixed output-voltage options of
+1.8V, +2.5V, +3.3V, and +5V. The MAX6767–MAX6774B
feature an adjustable output voltage set with an external
resistive-divider network connected between OUT, SET,
and GND. See Figure 1.
Enable and Hold Inputs
(MAX6767/MAX6768)
The MAX6767/MAX6768 support two logic inputs,
ENABLE (active-high) and HOLD (active-low), making
these devices “automotive friendly.” For example, when
the ignition key signal drives ENABLE high, the regulator
turns on and remains on even if ENABLE goes low, as
long as HOLD is forced low and kept low before
ENABLE goes low. In this state, releasing HOLD turns
the regulator output (OUT) off. This feature makes it pos-
sible to implement a self-holding circuit without external
components. Forcing ENABLE low with HOLD high (or
unconnected) places the MAX6767/MAX6768 into shut-
down mode, drawing 3.3µA (typ) of supply current.
Table 3 shows the state of the regulator output with
respect to the voltage level at ENABLE and HOLD.
Connect HOLD to OUT or leave it unconnected to allow
the ENABLE input to act as a standard enable/shut-
down switch for the regulator output (OUT).
Reset Output
The reset output is typically connected to the reset
input of a µP. A µP’s reset input starts or restarts the µP
in a known state. The MAX6765–MAX6774B superviso-
ry circuits provide the reset logic to prevent code-exe-
cution errors during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions (see the
Typical Application
Circuit
). RESET changes from high to low whenever the
monitored voltage drops below the reset threshold volt-
ages. Once the monitored voltage exceeds its respec-
tive reset threshold voltage(s), RESET remains low for
the reset timeout period, then goes high. See Table 1
and Table 2.
RESETIN Threshold (MAX6769/MAX6770)
The MAX6769/MAX6770 monitor the voltage on RESETIN
using an adjustable reset threshold (VRESETIN) set with
an external resistive voltage-divider and the internal reset
threshold (VTH). See Table 2.

Watchdog Timer (MAX6773/MAX6773B/
MAX6774/MAX6774B)
The MAX6773/MAX6774 include a watchdog timer that
asserts RESET if the watchdog input (WDI) does not
toggle within the watchdog timeout period, tWD (1.6s
(typ) for the MAX6773/MAX6774 and 50ms (typ) for the
MAX6773B/MAX6774B). RESET remains low for the
reset timeout period, tRP. If the watchdog is not updat-
ed for lengthy periods of time, the reset output appears
as a pulse train, asserted for the reset timeout period
and deasserted for the watchdog timeout period, until
WDI is toggled again. When RESET asserts, it stays low
for the entire reset timeout period ignoring any WDI
transitions. To prevent the watchdog from asserting
RESET, toggle WDI with a valid rising or falling edge
prior to tWD (min). The watchdog counter clears when
WDI toggles prior to tWD or when RESET asserts. The
watchdog resumes counting after RESET deasserts.
The watchdog timer cannot be disabled.
Thermal Protection
When the junction temperature exceeds TJ= +160°C
(typ), an internal thermal sensor signals the shutdown
logic that turns off the pass transistor and allows the IC
to cool. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on
again after the IC’s junction temperature cools by 20°C
(typ), resulting in a cycled output during continuous
thermal-overload conditions. Thermal protection pro-
tects the MAX6765–MAX6774B in the event of a fault
condition. Never exceed the absolute maximum junction
temperature rating of TJ= +150°C. See Figures 3 and 4
for the safe operating area.
Applications Information
Output-Voltage Selection
The MAX6767–MAX6774B feature dual-mode operation
and operate in either a preset or adjustable voltage
mode. In preset voltage mode, internal trimmed feed-
back resistors set the internal linear regulator to +1.8V,
+2.5V, +3.3V, or +5V (see Table 2). Select preset-
voltage mode by connecting SET to ground. In
adjustable mode, select an output voltage between
+1.8V and +11V using two external resistors connected
as a voltage-divider to SET (see Figure 1). Set the output
voltage using the following equation:
VOUT = VSET (1 + R1/R2)
where VSET = 1.233V and the recommended value for
R2 is 50kΩ(maximum 100kΩ).
RESETIN Threshold Selection
The MAX6769/MAX6770 feature an adjustable reset
threshold to monitor the voltage on RESETIN using a
resistive divider between the monitored voltage,
RESETIN and GND. See Figure 2. Use the following
formula to set the desired reset threshold:
VMON = VTH (1 + R3/R4)
where VTH is 1.085V for the M/S/Y/V versions and
1.147V for the L/T/Z/W versions.

Available Output-Current Calculation
The MAX6765–MAX6774B provide up to 100mA of load
current. Package power dissipation limits the amount of
output current available for a given input/output voltage
and ambient temperature. Figures 3 and 4 depict the
maximum power dissipation curve for the MAX6765/
MAX6766 and MAX6767–MAX6774B, respectively. The
graph assumes that the exposed metal pad of the
device package is soldered to a solid 1in2section of
2oz. PCB copper (JESD51-3 AND JESD51-5). Use
Figure 4 to determine the allowable package dissipa-
tion for a given ambient temperature. Alternately, use
the following formula to calculate the allowable pack-
age dissipation:
PDMAX = Max. Power Dissip = 1.951W, for TA+70°C
PDMAX = Max. Power Dissip = [1.9W - 0.0244W x
(TA- 70°C)], for +70°C < TA+125°C
where 0.0244W is the MAX6767–MAX6774B package
thermal derating in W/°C and TAis the ambient tempera-
ture in °C, under the same conditions used for Figure 4.
After determining the allowable package dissipation,
calculate the maximum output current using the follow-
ing formula:
PD < PDMAX where PD = [(VIN - VOUT) x IOUT]
Also, IOUT should be 100mA in any case.
Selecting Timeout Capacitor
The reset timeout period is adjustable to accommodate
a variety of µP applications. Adjust the reset timeout
period by connecting a capacitor between TIMEOUT
and GND.
tRP = CTIMEOUT x 1.22 x 106Ω(L/M/T/S options)
tRP = CTIMEOUT x 1.17 x 106Ω(V/W/Y/Z options)
where tRP is in seconds and CTIMEOUT is in Farads.
Connect TIMEOUT to OUT to select the internally fixed
timeout period. CTIMEOUT must be a low-leakage
(< 10nA) type capacitor. Ceramic capacitors are
recommended; do not use capacitor values lower than
100pF to avoid the influence of parasitic capacitances.
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
For stable operation over the full temperature range and
with load currents up to 100mA, use a 10µF (min) output
capacitor with an ESR < 0.5Ω. To reduce noise and
improve load-transient response, stability, and power-
supply rejection, use larger output-capacitor values.
Some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capacitance
and ESR variation with temperature. For dielectric
capacitors such as Z5U and Y5V, use more capaci-
tance to ensure stability at low temperatures. With X7R
or X5R dielectrics, 10µF should be sufficient at all oper-
ating temperatures. For higher-ESR tantalum capaci-
tors, use larger capacitor values to maintain stability. To
improve power-supply rejection and transient
response, use a larger capacitor than the minimum
0.1µF capacitor between IN and GND.

Ensuring a Valid
RESET
Output Down to
VIN = 0V (MAX6766/MAX6768/MAX6770/
MAX6772/MAX6774/MAX6774B)
When VIN falls below 1V, RESET current-sinking capa-
bilities decline drastically. High-impedance CMOS-
logic inputs connected to RESET can drift to
undetermined voltages. This presents no problems in
most applications, since most µPs and other circuitry
do not operate with supply voltages below 1V. In appli-
cations where RESET must be valid down to 0V, adding
a pulldown resistor between RESET and ground sinks
any stray leakage currents, holding RESET low (Figure
5). The value of the pulldown resistor is not critical;
100kΩis large enough not to load RESET and small
enough to pull RESET to ground. Open-drain RESET
versions are not recommended for applications requir-
ing valid logic for VIN down to 0V.
