brownout conditions. Reset is guaranteed to be logic 
high or low depending on the device chosen (see 
Ordering Information). RESET or RESET asserts when 
V
OUT
is below the reset threshold and remains assert-
ed for at least 100ms minimum after V
OUT 
rises above
the reset threshold. RESET or RESET also asserts when 
MR is pulled low.
SELR and 
ENR
When reset is not asserted a logic high to SELR connects a 1.5kΩ termination resistor from D+ to OUT for 
full speed USB peripherals and a logic low connects a
1.5kΩ termination resistor from D- to OUT for low-speed 
peripherals. Logic low on ENR enables the selected 
termination resistor connection and logic high disables 
the selected termination resistor connection. An asserted reset always disconnects the termination resistors. 
D+ and D-
D+ and D- include transient voltage suppressors rated 
at ±15kV (see USB ±15kV Transient Voltage 
Suppression section). 
The proprietary TVS shunt circuit passes no data 
through the MAX5005/MAX5006/MAX5007, thereby 
eliminating delays associated with series protection circuits. D+ and D- have only 1µA of leakage current and 
a typical input capacitance of 40pF at 1MHz.
Manual Reset Input 
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 MR 
asserts a reset while the regulator output voltage is still 
within tolerance.
Reset remains asserted while MR is low and for the 
reset timeout period (100ms minimum) after MR returns 
high. The MR input has an internal pullup of 25kΩ (typ) 
to OUT. Drive this input with TTL/CMOS logic levels or 
with open-drain/collector outputs. Connect a normally 
open momentary 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. For proper operation, ensure that the voltage 
on MR is not greater than a diode drop above V
OUT
.
Output to Input Reverse Leakage
Protection
An internal circuit monitors the input and output voltages. When the output voltage is greater than the input 
voltage, the internal pass transistor and parasitic 
diodes turn off, and OUT powers the device. There is 
no leakage path from OUT to IN. Therefore, the output
can be powered from an auxiliary supply such as a 
backup battery without any need for additional blocking 
diodes.
Current Limit
The MAX5005/MAX5006/MAX5007 include a current 
limiter that monitors and controls the pass transistor’s 
gate voltage, limiting the output current to 350mA (typ). 
For design purposes, consider the current limit to be 
160mA (min) to 600mA (max). The output can be shorted to ground for an indefinite period without damaging 
the part.
Thermal Protection
When the junction temperature exceeds TJ= +160°C, 
an internal thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic, 
turning off the pass transistor and allowing the IC to 
cool. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on 
again after the IC’s junction temperature decreases by 
20°C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous 
thermal overload conditions. Thermal overload protection is designed to protect the MAX5005/MAX5006/ 
MAX5007 in the event of fault conditions. For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum 
junction temperature rating of T
J
= +150°C. 
Operating Region and Power Dissipation
The MAX5005/MAX5006/MAX5007’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 = I
OUT(VIN
- V
OUT
). The maximum power dissipa-
tion is:
P
MAX
= (TJ- TA) / (ΘJA)
where TJ- TAis the temperature difference between 
the die junction and the surrounding air, Θ
JA
is the ther-
mal resistance of the package from junction to ambient.
The MAX5005/MAX5006/MAX5007’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 optimum performance, 
minimize trace inductance to D+, D-, and GND.

Capacitor Selection and Regulator
Stability
For stable operation over the full temperature range 
and with load currents up to 150mA, use a 1µF (min) 
output capacitor. To reduce noise and improve load 
transient response, stability, and power-supply rejection, use large output capacitor values such as 10µF.
