The MAX15027/MAX15028 low-dropout linear regulators
operate from input voltages as low as 1.425V and deliver
up to 1A of continuous output current with a typical
dropout voltage of only 75mV. The output voltage is
adjustable from 0.5V to VIN and is ±2% accurate over load
and line variations, from -40°C to +125°C. The MAX15028
features a BIAS input of 3V to 5.5V from an always-on
power supply. The BIAS input current is reduced down to
less than 2µA during shutdown.
These regulators use small, 1µF ceramic input capacitors
and 4.7µF ceramic output capacitors to deliver 1A
output current. High bandwidth provides excellent transient
response and limits the output voltage deviation to
15mV for a 500mA load step, with only a 4.7µF ceramic
output capacitor, and the voltage deviations can be
reduced further by increasing the output capacitor.
These devices offer a logic-controlled shutdown input
to reduce input current (IIN) consumption down to less
than 5.5µA in standby mode. Other features include a
soft-start to reduce inrush current, short-circuit protection,
and thermal-overload protection.
The MAX15028 features a BIAS input allowing a secondary
supply to keep the LDO's internal circuitry alive
if the voltage on IN goes to 0V. Both devices are fully
specified from -40°C to +125°C and are available in a
10-pin thermally enhanced TDFN package (3mm x
3mm) that includes an exposed pad for optimal power
dissipation. For a 500mA version of these LDOs, refer
to the MAX15029/MAX15030 data sheet.
