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.

_______________________________________________________________________________________ 7
Detailed Description
The MAX1806 is a low-dropout, low-quiescent-current
linear regulator. The device supplies loads up to
500mA and is available with preset output voltages. As
illustrated in Figure 1, the MAX1806 includes a 0.8V ref-
erence, error amplifier, P-channel pass transistor, and
internal feedback voltage-divider.
The reference is connected to the error amplifier, which
compares it with the feedback voltage and amplifies
the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the
reference voltage, the pass-transistor gate is pulled
lower, which allows more current to pass to the output
increasing the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is
too high, the pass-transistor gate is pulled up, allowing
less current to pass to the output.
The output voltage is fed back through either an inter-
nal resistive voltage-divider connected to OUT or an
external resistor network connected to SET. The dual-
mode comparator examines VSET and selects the feed-
back path. If VSET is below 35mV, the internal feedback
path is used, and the output is regulated to the factory-
preset voltage. Additional blocks include an output cur-
rent limiter, thermal sensor, and shutdown logic.
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX1806 features a 0.4ΩP-channel MOSFET pass
transistor. Unlike similar designs using PNP pass tran-
sistors, P-channel MOSFETs require no base drive,
which reduces operating current. PNP-based regula-
tors also waste considerable current in dropout when
the pass transistor saturates, and use high base-drive
currents under large loads. The MAX1806 does not suf-
fer from these problems.
Output Voltage Selection
The MAX1806’s dual-mode operation allows operation
in either a preset voltage mode or an adjustable mode.
Connect SET to GND to select the preset output volt-
age. The two-digit part number suffix identifies the out-
put voltage (see Selector Guide). For example, the
MAX1806EUA33 has a preset 3.3V output voltage. The
output voltage may also be adjusted by connecting a
voltage-divider from OUT to SET (Figure 2). Select R2 in
the 25kΩto 100kΩrange. Calculate R1 with the follow-
ing equation:
R1 = R2 [(VOUT / VSET) - 1]
where VSET = 0.8V, and VOUT may range from 0.8V
to 4.5V.
Shutdown
Drive SHDN low to enter shutdown. During shutdown,
the output is disconnected from the input, and supply
current drops to 0.02µA. When in shutdown, POK pulls
low. The capacitance and load at OUT determine the
rate at which VOUT decays. SHDN can be pulled as
high as +6V, regardless of the input and output voltage.
Power-OK Output
The POK output pulls low when OUT is less than 93% of
the nominal regulation voltage. Once OUT exceeds
93% of the nominal voltage, POK goes high imped-
ance. POK is an open-drain N-channel output. To
obtain a logic voltage output, connect a pullup resistor
from POK to OUT. A 100kΩresistor works well for most
applications. POK can be used to signal a microcon-
troller (µC), or drive an external LED to indicate power
failure. When the MAX1806 is shutdown, POK is held
low independent of the output voltage. If unused, leave
POK grounded or unconnected.
Current Limit
The MAX1806 monitors and controls the pass transis-
tor’s gate voltage, limiting the output current to 1.4A
(typ). The output can be shorted to ground for an indefi-
nite period of time without damaging the part.
Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal overload protection limits total power dissipa-
tion in the MAX1806. When the junction temperature
exceeds TJ= +170°C, a thermal sensor turns off the
pass transistor, allowing the device to cool. The thermal
sensor turns the pass transistor on again after the junc-
tion temperature cools by 20°C, resulting in a pulsed
output during continuous thermal overload conditions.
Thermal overload protection protects the MAX1806 in
the event of fault conditions. For continuous operation,
do not exceed the absolute maximum junction-temper-
ature rating of TJ= +150°C.
Operating Region and Power Dissipation
The MAX1806’s maximum power dissipation depends
on the thermal resistance of the IC package and circuit
board, the temperature difference between the die
junction and ambient air, and the rate of air flow. The
power dissipated in the device is P = IOUT ✕(VIN -
VOUT). The maximum allowed power dissipation is
1.3W or:
PMAX = (TJ(MAX) - TA) / (θJC + θCA)
where TJ- TAis the temperature difference between the
MAX1806 die junction and the surrounding air, θJC is
the thermal resistance from the junction to the case,
and θCA is the thermal resistance from the case
through the PC board, copper traces, and other materi-
als to the surrounding air. The MAX1806 package fea-
tures an exposed thermal pad on its underside. This
pad lowers the package’s thermal resistance by provid-
MAX1806
500mA, Low-Voltage Linear Regulator in µMAX
8 _______________________________________________________________________________________
ing a direct heat conduction path from the die to the PC
board. Connect the exposed backside pad and GND to
the system ground using a large pad or ground plane,
or multiple vias to the ground plane layer.
The MAX1806 delivers up to 0.5A(RMS) and operates
with input voltages up to 5.5V, but not simultaneously.
High output currents can only be sustained when input-
output differential is within the limits outlined.
Applications Information
Capacitor Selection and Regulator
Stability
Connect a 1µF capacitor between IN and ground and a
10µF low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitor
between OUT and ground. The input capacitor (CIN)
lowers the source impedance of the input supply.
Reduce noise and improve load-transient response,
stability, and power-supply rejection by using larger
output capacitors. The output capacitor’s (COUT) ESR
affects stability and output noise. Use output capacitors
with an ESR of 0.1Ωor less to ensure stability and opti-
mum transient response. Surface-mount ceramic
capacitors have very low ESR and are commonly avail-
able in values up to 10µF. Connect CIN and COUT as
close to the MAX1806 as possible.
Noise, PSRR, and Transient Response
The MAX1806 is designed to operate with low dropout
voltages and low quiescent currents, while still main-
taining good noise, transient response, and AC rejec-
tion. See the Typical Operating Characteristics for a
plot of Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) vs. Freq-
uency. When operating from noisy sources, improved
supply-noise rejection and transient response can be
achieved by increasing the values of the input and
output bypass capacitors and through passive-
filtering techniques. The MAX1806 load-transient

response graphs (see Typical Operating Characteris-
tics) show two components of the output response: a
DC shift from the output impedance due to the load
current change, and the transient response. A typical
transient overshoot for a step change in the load cur-
rent from 5mA to 500mA is 40mV. Increasing the output
capacitor’s value and decreasing the ESR attenuates
the overshoot.
Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage
A regulator’s minimum input-to-output voltage differen-
tial (dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable sup-
ply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this
determines the useful end-of-life battery voltage.
Because the MAX1806 uses a P-channel MOSFET pass
transistor, its dropout voltage is a function of drain-to-
source on-resistance (RDS(ON)) multiplied by the load
current (see Typical Operating Characteristics):
