Low-Noise, Low-Dropout, 200mA
Linear Regulator
General Description
The MAX1598 low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator
operates from a 2.5V to 6.5V input and delivers up to
200mA. Typical output noise is 30µV
RMS
, and typical
dropout is only 236mV at 200mA. The output voltage is
preset to voltages from 2.5V to 5V in 100mV increments.
Designed with an internal P-channel MOSFET pass
transistor, the MAX1598 maintains a low 100µA supply
current independent of the load current and dropout
voltage. Other features include a 10nA logic-controlled
shutdown mode, short-circuit and thermal-shutdown
protection, and reverse battery protection. The device
also includes an autodischarge function, which actively
discharges the output voltage to ground when the
device is placed in shutdown. The MAX1598 comes in
a thin 5-pin SOT23 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.

Note 1:
Limits are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through
correlation using guaranteed by design (GBD) methods.
