MAXIM MAX16999

19-4114; Rev 0; 4/08
Ultra-Low Output Voltage, Low-Quiescent-Current
Linear Regulator for High-Temperature Applications
The MAX16999 linear regulator operates from a 2.5V to
5.5V input voltage and delivers 100mA continuous load
current with a low quiescent current typically around
13µA. The output voltage is preset to internally trimmed
voltages in the 0.5V to 3.3V range (see the Selector
Guide). An active-low, open-drain reset output remains
low for a programmable timeout delay after the output
voltage reaches regulation. The reset timeout is programmed by an external capacitor connected to CRES.
This device also features logic-controlled shutdown,
and short-circuit and thermal-overload protection. The
typical applications are multimedia, telematics, and
motor control microcontrollers (µCs) with always-on
requirements. The MAX16999 is used as a parallel, lowquiescent supply to power the core or interrupt section
of µCs during sleep mode. It can also be used to supply a timer or memory during µC shutoff. The adjustable
POR delay assists with power-supply sequencing.

MAX16999
Ultra-Low Output Voltage, Low-Quiescent-Current
Linear Regulator for High-Temperature Applications
Detailed Description
The MAX16999 is a low-quiescent-current linear regulator designed for applications requiring high reliability,
such as automotive applications. This device can supply
loads up to 100mA and is available in factory-preset output voltages from 0.5V to 3.3V (see the Selector Guide).
As illustrated in Figure 1, the MAX16999 linear regulator
consists of a reference, an error amplifier, a p-channel
MOSFET pass transistor, and an internal feedback voltage-divider. A power-on reset section signals if the output voltage has come out of regulation. The reset signal
timeout is defined by the charging time of an external
capacitor attached to CRES.
To increase system reliability, the MAX16999 features a
POR reset timeout along with overcurrent and overtemperature protection. A power-on reset timeout guarantees startup even with a faulty timing capacitor.
Parameters are guaranteed up to +125°C junction temperature. The EN signal is latched in its last state even
if the signal line becomes disconnected.
Logic-Controlled Enable
The MAX16999 provides a logic-enable input (EN). For
normal operation drive EN to logic-high. When EN is
driven high, the linear regulator starts to regulate by
increasing the output voltage up to the preset value. To
disable the device, drive EN low to set OUT to high
impedance—this enables a pulldown current from
CRES to discharge the capacitor. Once the device is
disabled, the input supply current reduces to less than
0.3µA. The EN input is latched into its last state by a
120kΩ internal resistor. To change state, the latch
needs to be overridden. When EN is low, the RESET
output is high impedance.
POR Timer
Once the output voltage rises above the threshold VRES,
two internal timers are simultaneously activated. The
reset timer is realized by means of a pullup current
ICRES,UP that charges the capacitor connected to CRES.
As soon as the voltage on CRES rises above the threshold of 600mV (typ), RESET goes high impedance.
8
The internal reset timer is set by the value of the external capacitance (C CRES ). Calculate the reset time
using the following formula:
tPOR _ DELAY = CCRES x 60 x 103
V
A
where CCRES is in Farads and the delay to GND is
given in seconds.
The second timer is an internal fault timer and ensures
the regulator does not stay off indefinitely because of a
fault on CRES such as a short. The fault timer runs for a
maximum of 100ms. A logic block monitors both internal timers to determine the shortest timeout. If the first
timeout is the fault timer, the pullup current is switched
off in order to avoid unnecessary current consumption
and a resistive pulldown is also activated. If
tPOR_DELAY exceeds 100ms (typ) the fault timer defines
the timeout behavior.
Current Limit
Once the output voltage reaches regulation, the output
current is limited to 150mA (typ). If the output current
exceeds the current limit, the output voltage begins to
decrease.
Thermal-Overload Protection
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX16999. When the junction temperature
exceeds +165°C, a thermal sensor turns off the pass
transistor, allowing the IC to cool. The thermal sensor
turns the pass transistor on again after the junction temperature cools by 15°C, resulting in a pulsed output
during continuous thermal-overload conditions.
Thermal-overload protection safeguards the MAX16999
in the event of fault conditions. For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junctiontemperature rating of +150°C. Table 1 lists maximum
DC output currents (milliamps) that are allowed for
operation at TA = +125°C without causing thermal shutdown of the MAX16999.

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
Before the MAX16999 can operate, the input voltage
must exceed the UVLO threshold of 2.2V (max) with a
30mV hysteresis. If the input voltage is below the UVLO
threshold, OUT becomes high impedance and EN is
ignored regardless if it is driven high or low.
Capacitor Selection
Capacitors are required at the MAX16999 input and
output for stable operation over the full temperature
range and with load currents up to 100mA. Connect a
1µF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND and a
4.7µF ceramic capacitor between OUT and GND. The
input capacitor (CIN) lowers the source impedance of
the input supply. Use larger output capacitors to
reduce noise and improve stability and power-supply
rejection. The output capacitor’s equivalent series
resistance (ESR) affects stability and output noise. Use
output capacitors with an ESR of 30mΩ or less to
ensure stability and optimize transient response.
Surface-mount ceramic capacitors have very low ESR
and are commonly available in values up to 10µF.
Connect CIN and COUT as close to the MAX16999 as
possible to minimize the impact of the PCB trace inductance.
Using MAX16999 in Parallel
with Another Supply
The MAX16999 can be used in parallel with another
supply of equal voltage (see Figure 2). The circuit
shows a typical low-power solution for a µC.
