19-3684; Rev 1; 5/12 Low-Input-Voltage, 300mA LDO Regulators with RESET in SOT and TDFN The MAX1963A/MAX1976A low-dropout linear regulators operate from a +1.62V to +3.6V supply and deliver a guaranteed 300mA continuous load current with a low 100mV dropout. The high-accuracy (0.5%) output voltage is preset to an internally trimmed voltage in the +0.75V to +3.0V range. An active-low, open-drain reset output remains asserted for at least 2.2ms (MAX1963A) or 70ms (MAX1976A) after the output voltage reaches regulation. These devices are offered in thin SOT23 and thin DFN packages. An internal pMOS pass transistor allows the low supply current to remain independent of load and dropout voltage, making these devices ideal for portable battery-powered equipment.

Functional Diagram 6 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Input-Voltage, 300mA LDO Regulators with RESET in SOT and TDFN The MAX1963A/MAX1976A are low-dropout, high-accuracy, low-quiescent-current linear regulators designed primarily for battery-powered applications. These devices supply loads up to 300mA and are available with preset output voltages from +0.75V to +3.0V. As illustrated in Figure 1, the MAX1963A/MAX1976A consist of a reference, an error amplifier, a p-channel pass transistor, an internal feedback voltage-divider, and a power-good comparator. The reference is connected to the error amplifier, which compares this reference 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 and increases 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. Internal p-Channel Pass Transistor The MAX1963A/MAX1976A feature a 0.33 (RDS(ON)) p-channel MOSFET pass transistor. Unlike similar designs using pnp pass transistors, p-channel MOSFETs require no base drive, which reduces quiescent current. The pnp-based regulators also waste considerable current in dropout when the pass transistor saturates and use high base-drive currents under large loads. The MAX1963A/MAX1976A do not suffer from these problems and consume only 90A (typ) of quiescent current under heavy loads, as well as in dropout. Shutdown Pull SHDN low to enter shutdown. During shutdown, the output is disconnected from the input, an internal 1.5k resistor pulls OUT to GND, RESET is actively pulled low, and the supply current drops below 1A. RESET Output The MAX1963A/MAX1976A microprocessor (P) supervisory circuitry asserts a guaranteed logic-low reset during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions down to +1V. RESET asserts when VOUT is below the reset threshold and remains asserted for at least tRP after VOUT rises above the reset threshold of regulation. Current Limit The MAX1963A/MAX1976A monitor and control the pass transistor's gate voltage, limiting the output current to 450mA (min). If the output exceeds ILIM, the MAX1963A/ MAX1976A output voltage drops. Thermal-Overload Protection Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX1963A/MAX1976A. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +165C, a thermal sensor turns off the pass transistor, allowing the IC to cool. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on again after the junction temperature cools by 15C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal-overload conditions. Thermal-overload protection safeguards the MAX1963A/MAX1976A in the event of fault conditions. For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction-temperature rating of TJ = +150C. Operating Region and Power Dissipation The MAX1963A/MAX1976A 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 airflow. The power dissipated in the device is P = IOUT (VIN - VOUT). The maximum allowed power dissipation is: PMAX = (TJ(MAX) - TA) / (JC + CA) where (T J(MAX) - T A ) is the temperature difference between the MAX1963A/MAX1976A die junction and the surrounding air, JC is the thermal resistance of the junction to the case, and CA is the thermal resistance from the case through the PC board, copper traces, and other materials to the surrounding air. For best heatsinking, expand the copper connected to the exposed paddle or GND. The MAX1963A/MAX1976A deliver up to 300mA and operate with an input voltage up to +3.6V. However, when using the 6-pin SOT23 version, high output currents can only be sustained when the input-output differential voltage is less than 2V, as shown in Figure 2. The maximum allowed power dissipation for the 6-pin TDFN is 1.951W at TA = +70C. Figure 3 shows that the maximum input-output differential voltage is not limited by the TDFN package power rating. Applications Information Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability Capacitors are required at the MAX1963A/MAX1976A input and output for stable operation over the full temperature range and with load currents up to 300mA. Connect a 1F ceramic capacitor between IN and GND and a 4.7F low-ESR ceramic capacitor between OUT and GND. The input capacitor (CIN) lowers the source impedance of the input supply. Use larger output capacitors to reduce noise and improve load-transient response, stability, and power-supply rejection. The output capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR) affects stability and output noise.

See the Typical Operating Characteristics for a plot of PowerSupply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) versus Frequency. When operating from noisy sources, improved supplynoise rejection and transient response can be achieved by increasing the values of the input and output bypass capacitors and through passive filtering techniques. The MAX1963A/MAX1976A load-transient response (see the Typical Operating Characteristics) shows two components of the output response: a near-zero DC shift from the output impedance due to the load-current change, and the transient response. A typical transient response for a step change in the load current from 20mA to 200mA is 20mV. Increasing the output capacitor's value and decreasing the ESR attenuates the overshoot.

Surface-mount ceramic capacitors have very low ESR and are commonly available in values up to 10F. Connect CIN and COUT as close to the MAX1963A/MAX1976A as possible to minimize the impact of PC board trace inductance.

In battery-powered systems, this determines the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the MAX1963A/MAX1976A use a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor, the dropout voltage is a function of drain-tosource on-resistance (RDS(ON) = 0.33) multiplied by the load current (see the Typical Operating Characteristics). VDROPOUT = VIN - VOUT = 0.33 IOUT The MAX1963A/MAX1976A ground current reduces to 70A in dropout. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Input-Voltage, 300mA LDO Regulators with RESET in SOT and TDFN VOUT (V) MAX1963A TOP MARK MAX1976A TOP MARK SUFFIX SOT TDFN (3mm x 3mm) TDFN (2mm x 2mm) SOT TDFN (3mm x 3mm) TDFN (2mm x 2mm) 0.75 075 AACJ ALM -- AACU ALX -- 0.85 085 -- -- -- AACV ALY -- 0.90 090 AACK ALN -- AACW ALZ -- 1.00 100 AACL ALO -- AACX AMA -- 1.10 110 AACM ALP -- AACY AMB -- 1.20 120 AACN ALQ -- AACZ AMC -- 1.30 130 AACO ALR -- AADA AMD AAD 1.50 150 AACP ALS -- AADB AME AAE 1.60 160 -- -- -- AADC AMF -- 1.80 180 AACQ ALT -- AADD AMG -- 1.85 185 AACR ALU -- AADE AMH -- 2.50 250 AACS ALV -- AADF AMI -- 2.85 285 -- -- -- AADG AMJ -- 3.00 300 AACT ALW -- AADH AMK -- 1.20 120/V -- -- -- -- AUO -- 1.50 150/V -- -- -- -- AVI -- 1.80 180/V -- -- -- -- AUP -- Note: Standard voltage options, shown in bold, are available.
