Low-Input-Voltage, 500mA LDO Regulator
with
RESET
in SOT and TDFN
General Description
The MAX1589A low-dropout linear regulator operates
from a +1.62V to +3.6V supply and delivers a guaran-
teed 500mA continuous load current with a low 175mV
dropout. The high-accuracy (±0.5%) output voltage is
preset to internally trimmed voltages from +0.75V to
+3.0V. An active-low, open-drain reset output remains
asserted for at least 70ms after the output voltage reach-
es regulation. This device is offered in 6-pin thin SOT23
and 6-pin, 3mm x 3mm thin DFN packages.
An internal pMOS pass transistor maintains low supply
current, independent of load and dropout voltage, making
the MAX1589A ideal for portable battery-powered equip-
ment such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), digital
still cameras, cell phones, cordless phones, and note-
book computers. Other features include logic-controlled
shutdown, short-circuit protection, and thermal-overload
protection.

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.
