500mA, Low-Voltage Linear Regulator in µMAX
General Description
The MAX1806 low-dropout linear regulator operates
from a +2.25V to +5.5V supply and delivers a guaran-
teed 500mA load current with low 175mV dropout. The
high-accuracy (±1%) output voltage is preset at an
internally trimmed voltage (see
Selector Guide)
or can
be adjusted from +0.8V to +4.5V with an external resis-
tive-divider.
An internal PMOS pass transistor allows low 210µA
supply current, making this device ideal for portable
equipment such as personal digital assistants (PDAs),
cellular phones, cordless phones, and other equip-
ment, including base stations and docking stations.
Other features include an active-low, power-OK output
that indicates when the output is out of regulation, a
0.02µA shutdown mode, short-circuit protection, and
thermal shutdown protection. The MAX1806 comes in a
miniature 1.3W, 8-pin power-µMAX package with a
metal pad on the underside of the package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

, when V
OUT
is 100mV below the value of V

+0.5V.
For 2.25V
