EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX8902A/MAX8902B Low-Noise 500mA LDO Regulators in a 2mm x 2mm TDFN Package General Description The MAX8902A/MAX8902B low-noise linear regulators deliver up to 500mA of output current with only 16µVRMS of output noise in a 100kHz bandwidth. These regulators maintain their output voltage over a wide input range, requiring only 100mV of input-to-output headroom at full load. These LDOs maintain a low 80µA typical supply current, independent of the load current and dropout voltage. The regulator control circuitry includes a programmable soft-start circuit and short circuit, reverse current, and thermal-overload protection. Other features include an enable input and a power-OK output (MAX8902B only). The MAX8902A output voltage can be set to 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.0V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, 4.6V, or 4.7V using the SELA and SELB inputs. The MAX8902B output voltage can be set between 0.6V and 5.3V with an external resistor voltage-divider.

Detailed Description The MAX8902A/MAX8902B low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators deliver up to 500mA of output current with only 16µVRMS of output noise in a 100kHz bandwidth. These regulators maintain their output voltage over a wide input range, requiring only 100mV of inputto-output headroom at full load. The MAX8902 maintains a low 80µA typical supply current, independent of the load current and dropout voltage. The regulator control circuitry includes a programmable soft-start circuit and short circuit, reverse current, and thermal-overload protection. Other features include an enable input and a power-OK Maxim Integrated (POK) output (MAX8902B only). A simplified functional diagram is shown in Figure 1. The MAX8902A output voltage can be set to 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.0V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, 4.6V, or 4.7V using the SELA and SELB inputs.

Simplified Functional Diagram Bypass (BYP) The capacitor connected from BYP to OUT filters the noise of the reference, feedback resistors, and regulator input stage and provides a high-speed feedback path for improved transient response. A 0.01µF capacitor rolls off input noise at approximately 32Hz. 6 The slew rate of the output voltage during startup is also determined by the BYP capacitor. A 0.01µF capacitor sets the slew rate to 5V / ms. This startup rate results in a 50mA slew current drawn from the input at startup to charge the 10µF output capacitance. Maxim Integrated MAX8902A/MAX8902B Low-Noise 500mA LDO Regulators in a 2mm x 2mm TDFN Package The BYP capacitor value can be adjusted from 0.001µF to 0.1µF to change the startup slew rate according to the following formula: Startup slew rate = (5V / ms) x (0.01µF / CBYP) Note that this slew rate applies only at startup, and that recovery from a short circuit occurs at a slew rate approximately 500 times slower. Also note that, being a low-frequency filter node, BYP is sensitive to leakage. BYP leakage currents above 10nA cause measurable inaccuracy at the output and should be avoided.

Table 2. MAX8902A Output Voltages Protection Features The MAX8902A/MAX8902B are fully protected from an output short circuit by a current-limiting and thermaloverload circuit. If the output is shorted to GND, the output current is limited to 700mA (typ). Under these conditions, the part quickly heats up. When the junction temperature reaches +165°C, a thermal-limit circuit shuts off the output device. When the junction cools to +150°C, the output turns back on in an attempt to reestablish regulation. While the fault persists, the output current cycles on and off, as the junction temperature slews between +150°C and +165°C. The MAX8902A/MAX8902B are also protected against reverse current when the output voltage is higher than the input. In the event that extra output capacitance is used at the output, a power-down transient at the input would normally cause a large reverse current through a conventional regulator. The MAX8902A/MAX8902B include a reverse voltage detector that trips when IN drops 10mV below OUT, shutting off the regulator and opening the pMOS body diode connection, preventing any reverse current. Thermal Considerations The MAX8902A/MAX8902B are packaged in an 8-pin, 2mm x 2mm TDFN package with an exposed paddle. The exposed paddle is the main path for heat to leave the IC, and therefore, must be connected to a ground plane with thermal vias to allow heat to dissipate from the device. Thermal properties of the IC package are given in Table 1. OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) SELA STATE SELB STATE 1.5 IN Unconnected 1.8 Unconnected GND 2.0 Unconnected IN 2.5 Unconnected Unconnected 3.0 GND GND 3.1 GND IN 3.3 GND Unconnected 4.6 IN GND 4.7 IN IN are sampled only at startup. The regulation voltage can be set to a different level by cycling EN or IN momentarily to GND. Setting the Output Voltage (MAX8902B) The MAX8902B uses external feedback resistors to set the output regulation voltage as shown in Figure 3. The output can be set from 0.6V to 5.3V. Set the lower feedback resistor (R2) to 120kΩ or less to minimize FB input bias current error. Then calculate the value of the upper feedback resistor (R1) as follows: ⎛V ⎞ R1 = R2 × ⎜ OUT − 1⎟ ⎝ VFB ⎠ where VFB is the feedback regulation voltage of 0.6V. Selecting the Output Voltage (MAX8902A) Power-OK (MAX8902B) The MAX8902A output can be set to one of nine voltages by shorting or opening the SELA and SELB inputs, as shown in Table 2. SELA and SELB should be connected to GND, IN, or left unconnected. Alternatively, they may be driven high, low, or open with external logic; however, the states of SELA and SELB The MAX8902B includes an additional open-drain output, POK, that pulls low to indicate the output voltage is in regulation. During startup, POK is high impedance until the output voltage rises to 91% of its regulation level. If an overload occurs at the output, or the output is shut down, POK is high impedance.
