The MAX16999 is a low-output-voltage linear regulator capable of delivering up to 100mA.
This linear regulator minimizes current consumption in always-on applications as it consumes only 13µA of quiescent current and only 0.3µA in shutdown.
The MAX16999 is offered with 13 fixed output options to eliminate the need for external resistors, saving both space and cost.
Fully specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range, the MAX16999 is ideal for always-on automotive and industrial applications.
SUNNYVALE, CA—August 4, 2008—Maxim Integrated Products (PINK OTC MARKETS: MXIM) introduces the MAX16999, a low-output-voltage linear regulator capable of delivering up to 100mA for always-on applications. Designed as a parallel supply for powering the core or interrupt section of a microcontroller during sleep mode, this device consumes a mere 13µA of quiescent current. To further reduce power consumption, it provides an enable input for placing the regulator in shutdown, in which it consumes only 0.3µA. Available in 13 factory-preset output voltages ranging from 0.5V to 3.3V, the MAX16999 eliminates the need for external feedback resistors. This device is ideal for always-on automotive and industrial applications that require high reliability and low power consumption.
Designed for harsh operating environments, the MAX16999 features overcurrent and overtemperature protection, as well as power-on-reset circuitry with adjustable timing. The device is fully specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range, and is available in a thermally enhanced, 8-pin µMAX® package. Prices start at $0.70 (1000-up, FOB USA).
