MAQ5280 Evaluation Board 25mA, 120V, Low IQ, High PSRR LDO Automotive General Description The MAQ5280 is a high performance, linear regulator, offering a very low noise output with a very wide input voltage operating range, from 4.5V to 120V DC input voltage. Ideal for high input voltage applications such as automotive and telecom, the MAQ5280 offers 2% initial accuracy, extremely high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR > 80dB) and low ground current (typically 31µA). The MAQ5280 can also be put into a zero-off-mode current state, drawing minuscule amount of current when disabled. The MAQ5280 has a very wide input voltage range, with DC rated from –24V to +120V. This wide input range covers the automotive load dump range and the MAQ5280 is optimized for line transient response, making it ideal for harsh environment applications. Requirements The MAQ5280 evaluation board requires an input power source that is able to deliver greater than 0.1A at +120VDC. Precautions The evaluation board does not have reverse polarity protection. Applying a negative voltage lower than –24V to the VIN (J1) terminal may damage the device. The MAQ5280 evaluation board is tailored for a 4.5V to 120V input voltage range. The input voltage range should not exceed 120VDC on the input. Getting Started 1. Connect an external supply to the VIN. Apply desired input voltage to the VIN (J1) and ground (J2) terminals of the evaluation board, paying careful attention to polarity and supply voltage (4.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 120V). An ammeter may be placed between the input supply and the VIN terminal to the evaluation board. Ensure that the supply voltage is monitored at the VIN terminal. The ammeter and/or power lead resistance can reduce the voltage supplied to the input. 2. Enabling the MAQ5280. The MAQ5280 has an enable pin EN for enable/disable functionality. EN: A logic high will turn on the linear regulator and a logic low will shut down the linear regulator reducing the quiescent current to less than 0.02µA (typical). Output Voltage The output voltage on the MAQ5280 evaluation board is adjustable. The output voltage is controlled by the feedback resistors (R1 and R2) and can be calculated as follows: ⎛ R1 ⎞ + 1⎟ VOUT = VREF ⋅ ⎜ ⎝ R2 ⎠ VREF = 1.219V The evaluation board is initially adjusted to 5V, but can easily be modified by removing R1 and replacing it with the value that yields the desired output voltage. ⎛V ⎞ R1 = R2 ⋅ ⎜⎜ OUT − 1⎟⎟ ⎝ VREF ⎠ Ensure the output voltage selected does not exceed 5V.
