MAX1691O 200mA, Automotive, Ultra-Low WH wHkJ vaw m WHk
General Description
The MAX16910 ultra-low quiescent current, high-voltage
linear regulator is ideal for use in automotive and battery-
operated systems. The device operates from a +3.5V
to +30V input voltage, delivers up to 200mA of load
current, and consumes only 20µA of quiescent current at
no load. The device consumes only 1.6µA current when
in shutdown. The input is +45V transient tolerant and is
designed to operate under load-dump conditions. The
MAX16910 can be configured as either fixed output volt-
age (+3.3V or +5V) or adjustable output voltage using an
external resistive divider.
The MAX16910 features an open-drain, active-low RESET
output with fixed thresholds offered at 92.5% and 87.5%
of the output voltage. The RESET output remains low for
a fixed period of 60µs after the output voltage exceeds
its threshold. The RESET delay can be extended with an
external capacitor.
The MAX16910 includes an enable input, short-
circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. The MAX16910
operates over the -40°C to +125°C automotive tempera-
ture range. The device is available in a space-saving,
thermally enhanced, 3mm x 3mm, 8-pin TDFN package
and 5mm x 4mm, 8-pin SO package.

Pin Configurations
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 IN Regulator Input. Bypass IN to GND with a 1FF (min) low-ESR ceramic capacitor.
2 ENABLE
Active-High Enable Input. Force ENABLE high (or connect to IN) to turn the regulator on. Pull
ENABLE low (or leave unconnected) to place the device in a low-power shutdown mode. ENABLE
is internally pulled down to GND through a 0.65FA current sink.
3 SET
Feedback Network Selector. Connect SET to GND when operating the MAX16910 in fixed output-
voltage mode (3.3V or 5V) using the internal feedback network. Connect SET to IN or any voltage
higher than 2.4V when an external feedback network (resistive divider) is used, operating the
MAX16910 in adjustable output-voltage mode.
4RESET
Active-Low, Open-Drain Reset Output. RESET asserts low when OUT is below the reset threshold,
and remains low for the duration of the reset timeout period after the reset conditions end. RESET
also asserts low when ENABLE is low and during thermal shutdown.
5 TIMEOUT
Reset-Timeout-Period Adjust Input. Internal capacitance produces a 60Fs default delay when
TIMEOUT is left unconnected. Connect a capacitor from TIMEOUT to GND to set a longer timeout
period than default.
6 SETOV
Regulated Output-Voltage Selector. Connect SETOV to OUT for a 5V fixed output, or connect
SETOV to GND for a 3.3V fixed output. SETOV becomes the feedback path when using an
external resistive divider for an adjustable output.
7 GND Ground
8OUT
Regulator Output. Bypass OUT to GND with a minimum of 4.7FF. Use a low-ESR, ceramic
capacitor (X7R, X5R) for optimal performance. The SETOV input controls the output voltage when
in fixed +3.3V or fixed +5V output-voltage mode. Using an external resistive divider between OUT
and SETOV sets adjustable output voltage from +1.5V to +11V.
— EP
Exposed Pad. EP is internally connected to GND. Connect EP to the ground plane to provide
a low thermal-resistance path from the thermal junction to the PCB. Do not use EP as the only
electrical connection to GND.

MAX16910 200mA, Automotive, Ultra-Low
Quiescent Current, Linear Regulator
Detailed Description
The MAX16910 low-quiescent current, high-voltage lin-
ear regulator is ideal for use in automotive and battery-
operated systems. The device operates from an input
voltage of +3.5V to +30V, delivers up to 200mA of load
current, and consumes only 20µA of quiescent current
at no load. The input is +45V tolerant and is designed
to operate under load-dump conditions. The MAX16910
can be user configured as either a fixed output voltage
(+3.3V or +5V) or an adjustable output voltage using an
external resistive divider.
The MAX16910 features an open-drain, active-low RESET
output with fixed thresholds offered at 92.5% and 87.5%
of the output voltage. The RESET output remains low for
a fixed period of 60µs after the output voltage exceeds
its threshold. The RESET delay can be extended with an
external capacitor. The MAX16910 includes an enable
input short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown.
Fixed Output-Voltage Mode
The SET and SETOV inputs determine the output mode.
For the 5V fixed output-voltage mode (see the 5V fixed
output circuit in the Typical Operating Circuits), connect
SET to GND and SETOV to OUT. Place a 10kω resistor
between SETOV and OUT if expecting line transients
faster than 0.03V/μs. For the 3.3V fixed output-voltage
mode (see the 3.3V fixed output circuit in the Typical
Operating Circuits) connect SET to GND and SETOV to
GND.
Adjustable Output-Voltage Mode
For the adjustable output-voltage mode (see the adjust-
able output circuit in the Typical Operating Circuits),
connect SET to IN or a voltage > 2.4V and connect
SETOV to a resistive divider R1 and R2 between OUT
and GND. An output voltage between 1.5V and 11V can
be selected using the following equation:
VOUT = VSETOV x (1 + R1/R2)
where VSETOV = 1.25V and R2 should be less than or
equal to 100kω.

Quiescent Current, Linear Regulator
ENABLE
ENABLE is an active-high, logic-level enable input that
turns the device on or off. Drive ENABLE high to turn the
device on. An internal 0.65µA pulldown current keeps the
MAX16910 in shutdown mode when driven by a three-
state driver in high-impedance mode, or an open-drain
driver. When in shutdown, the MAX16910 consumes only
1.6µA. ENABLE withstands voltages up to 45V, allowing
it to be driven by high-input level voltages or connected
to IN for always-on operation.
Thermal Protection
The MAX16910 features thermal protection. When the
junction temperature exceeds +180°C, an internal ther-
mal sensor turns off the pass transistor, and allows the
device to cool. The thermal sensor turns on the pass
transistor again after the junction temperature cools by
25°C. This results in a cycled output during continuous
thermal-overload conditions. Thermal protection protects
the MAX16910 in the event of fault conditions. For con-
tinuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum
junction temperature rating of +150°C.

The MAX16910 features a 330mA current limit. The out-
put can be shorted to GND continuously without damage
to the device. During a short circuit, the power dissi-
pated across the pass transistor can quickly heat the
device. When the die temperature reaches +180°C, the
MAX16910 turns off the pass transistor and automatically
restarts after the die temperature has cooled by 25°C.
RESET Output
The MAX16910 features an active-low, open-drain reset
output. Once the monitored output voltage exceeds the
reset threshold voltage, RESET remains low for the reset
timeout period and then goes high. RESET changes from
high to low whenever the monitored output voltage drops
below the reset threshold voltage. RESET also asserts
low when ENABLE is low and during thermal shutdown.
Timeout
The MAX16910 features a reset timeout period adjustable
input. The internal capacitance produces a 60µs default
delay when TIMEOUT is left unconnected. Connect a
capacitor from TIMEOUT to GND to set a higher timeout
period than default. Use the following formula to deter-
mine the reset timeout capacitor:
CTIMEOUT = 0.8 x ITO x TTIMEOUT
where CTIMEOUT is in nF, ITO is in µA, and TTIMEOUT is
in ms.
For example, if ITO is 1µA, CTIMEOUT needs to be 8nF to
get a 10ms delay.
Applications Information
Output-Capacitor Selection and Regulator
Stability
For stable operation over the full temperature range, with
fixed 3.3V and 5.0V output voltages, use a low-ESR 4.7µF
capacitor. For resistor-programmed output voltages, a
10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor is recommended for
stable operation. Use larger output-capacitor values
such as 22µF to reduce noise, improve load-transient
response and power-supply rejection. Some ceramic
dielectrics exhibit large capacitance and ESR variations
with temperature. To improve power-supply rejection and
transient response, use a capacitor larger than the mini-
mum 1µF capacitor between IN and GND.
Available Output-Current Calculation
The MAX16910 provides up to 200mA of continuous
output current. The input voltage range extends to 30V.
Package power dissipation limits the amount of output
current available for a given input/output voltage and
ambient temperature. Figure 1 shows the maximum
allowable power dissipation for these devices to keep the
junction temperature below +150°C. Figure 1 assumes
that the exposed metal pad of the MAX16910 is sol-
dered to a 1in2 of multilayer copper board. Use Figure
1 to determine the allowable package dissipation for a
given ambient temperature. Alternately, use the following
formulas to calculate the allowable power dissipation PD.

Selecting Timeout Capacitor
The reset timeout period is adjustable to accommodate
a variety of microprocessor applications. Adjust the
reset timeout period by connecting a capacitor between
TIMEOUT and GND.

where tRP is in ms and CTIMEOUT is in nF.
Leave TIMEOUT unconnected to select the internally
fixed timeout period. CTIMEOUT must be a low-leakage
(< 10nA) type capacitor. Ceramic capacitors are recom-
mended; do not use capacitor values lower than 100pF
to avoid the influence of parasitic capacitances.
Exposed Pad
The MAX16910 package features an exposed thermal
pad on its underside that should be used as a heatsink.
This pad lowers the package’s thermal resistance by pro-
viding a direct heat-conduction path from the die to the
PCB. Connect the exposed pad and GND to the system
ground using a large pad or ground plane, or multiple
vias to the ground plane layer.
