MAX6796TPZD2+T

Supervisors Overview

The MAX6796TPZD2+T is a single-output linear voltage regulator from the MAX6795/MAX6796 series, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within an input voltage range of 5V to 72V and delivers up to 300mA output current. The device features ultra-low quiescent current consumption of 68µA. Output voltages include fixed options such as 2.5V and adjustable ranges from 1.8V to 11V. It is housed in a TQFN-EP-20 package with a thermal pad for efficient heat dissipation. The component supports surface-mount installation and functions reliably across temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Capable of withstanding automotive load-dump conditions due to wide input voltage tolerance
• Integrates supervisory functions including watchdog timer with configurable timeout periods
• Provides high efficiency through ultra-low quiescent current operation

Supervisors Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring robust power management under transient conditions
• Industrial control units needing stable regulation from high-voltage sources
• Battery-powered devices prioritizing extended operational life via low standby current

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure correct output voltage and package type compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free specifications prior to integration. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from the manufacturer. Validate thermal performance requirements relative to the TQFN-EP-20 package limitations in your specific application environment.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single regulated output is sufficient for the design. Choose over dual-output variants if only one rail is required to save board space. Ensure the input voltage never exceeds the 72V maximum rating during normal operation or load dump events. Consider the 300mA current capability against peak load demands to prevent thermal shutdown.

Supervisors Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX679x family of micropower linear regulators designed for harsh environments. Unlike the MAX6791–MAX6794 which offer dual outputs at 150mA each, the MAX6796 provides a single higher-current channel. It shares the same low-power architecture and supervisory features as its siblings but targets applications needing greater individual output capacity.

Supervisors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MAX6796 variants with different fixed output voltages (e.g., MAX6796TPZD1+T). Cross-reference pinouts and thermal characteristics carefully when replacing with non-Maxim equivalents.
