Detailed Description
The MAX5086 high-voltage linear regulator includes an
integrated microprocessor reset circuit with an adjustable
reset timeout period (see the Adjustable Reset Timeout
Period (CT) section). The device guarantees a 250mA
load current and is available with a preset output voltage
of 3.3V (MAX5086A) or 5V (MAX5086B). Both devices
can be configured to provide an adjustable output voltage
from 2.5V to 11V. The internal reset circuit monitors the
regulator output voltage and asserts RESET low when the
regulator output falls below the reset threshold voltage.
Other features include an enable (regulator control input),
21µA (max) shutdown current, short-circuit protection
(see the Output Short-Circuit Current Limit section), and
thermal shutdown (see the Thermal Protection section).
Regulator
The MAX5086 accepts an input voltage range from 6.5V
to 45V and offers a fixed output voltage of 3.3V or 5V. For
an adjustable output voltage operation, use an external
resistive divider network connected between OUT, SET,
and GND (see Figure 2).
Enable Input (EN)
EN is a logic-level enable input that turns ON/OFF the
device. Drive EN high to turn on the device and drive EN
low to place the device in shutdown. The MAX5086 draws
13µA (typ) of supply current when in shutdown. EN with-
stands voltages up to +45V, allowing EN to be connected
to IN for an always-on operation.
Remote Sensing (OUTSENSE)
For fixed output voltage versions, OUTSENSE must be
used for load voltage sensing. Leave OUTSENSE open
circuit when using adjustable output voltage version.
Reset Output (RESET)
A supervisor circuit is fully integrated in the MAX5086 and
uses the same reference voltage as the regulator. RESET
goes low if VOUT drops below the preset output voltage
threshold, and remains low at least for the timeout period
after VOUT rises above the reset voltage threshold.
Adjustable Reset Timeout Period (CT)
The MAX5086 features a user-adjustable reset timeout.
Connect a capacitor from CT to GND to set the reset time-
out period (see Figure 2) and use the following equation
to calculate the timeout period:
tRP = CCT x 0.6175 x 106
where CCT is the value of the external capacitor con-
nected from CT to GND and tRP is in seconds.
Thermal Protection
When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = 175°C an
internal thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic, which
turns off the pass transistor, allowing the IC to cool. The
thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on again after
the IC’s junction temperature cools by 25°C, resulting in
a cycled output during continuous thermal-overload con-
ditions. Thermal protection protects the MAX5086 in the
event of fault conditions. During continuous operation, do
not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature
rating of TJ = +150°C.
Output Short-Circuit Current Limit
The MAX5086 features a current limit. The output can
be shorted to GND for an indefinite period of time (for
VIN < 16V) without damage to the device.
