MAX1793
General Description
The MAX1793 low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) operates from +2.5V to +5.5V and delivers a guaranteed 1A
load current with a low 210mV dropout. The high-accuracy (±1%) output voltage is preset at an internally
trimmed voltage (see the Ordering Information) or can
be adjusted from 1.25V to 5.0V with an external resistor-divider.
An internal pMOS pass transistor allows a low 125µA
supply current, making the MAX1793 ideal for batteryoperated portable equipment. Other features include a
built-in reset output, low-power shutdown, and short-circuit and thermal-overload protection. The MAX1793 is
available in a 1.5W, 16-pin power TSSOP package,
which is 30% smaller than a SOT223 package and only
1.1mm high.

Note 1: Dropout voltage is defined as VIN - VOUT, when VOUT is 100mV below the value of VOUT measured when VIN = VOUT(NOM) +
0.5V. Since the minimum input voltage is 2.5V, this specification in only meaningful when VOUT(NOM) ≥2.5V. For VOUT(NOM)
between 2.5V and 3.3V, use the following equations: Typical Dropout = 210mV + (3.3V - VOUT(NOM) x 75mV/V; Guaranteed
Maximum Dropout = 350mV + (3.3V - VOUT(NOM) x 125mV/V. For VOUT(NOM) > 3.3V: Typical Dropout = 210mV;
Guaranteed Maximum Dropout = 350mV.
Note 2: Specifications to TA = -40°C are guaranteed by design and not production tested.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Low-Dropout, Low IQ, 1A Linear Regulator
The MAX1793 features Dual Mode™ operation, allowing a fixed output or an adjustable output from +1.25V
to +5V. The regulators are guaranteed to supply 1A of
output current.
As Figure 1 shows, the device consists of a +1.25V reference, error amplifier, MOSFET driver, p-channel pass
transistor, internal feedback voltage-divider, Dual Mode
comparator, and 4ms reset output.
The +1.25V reference is connected to the inverting
input of the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares this reference with the selected feedback voltage
and amplifies the difference. The MOSFET driver reads
the error signal and applies the appropriate drive to the
p-channel transistor. If the feedback voltage is lower
than the reference, the pass transistor’s gate is pulled
lower, allowing more current to pass and increase the
output voltage. If the feedback voltage is high, the pass
transistor’s gate is pulled up, allowing less current to
pass to the output. The low VOUT comparator senses
when the feedback voltage has dropped 6% below its
expected level, causing RST to go low.
The output voltage is fed back through either an internal resistor-divider connected to OUT or an external
resistor network connected to SET. The Dual Mode
comparator examines VSET and selects the feedback
path. If VSET is below 50mV, the internal feedback path
is used and the output is regulated to the factory-preset
voltage.

MAX1793
Detailed Description
MAX1793
Low-Dropout, Low IQ, 1A Linear Regulator
Internal p-Channel Pass Transistor
Shutdown
The MAX1793 features a 1A p-channel MOSFET pass
transistor. Unlike similar designs using pnp pass transistors, p-channel MOSFETs require no base drive,
which reduces quiescent current. pnp-based regulators also waste considerable current in dropout when
the pass transistor saturates and use high base-drive
currents under large loads. The MAX1793 does not suffer from these problems and consumes only 225µA of
quiescent current under heavy loads, as well as in
dropout.
A logic-low on SHDN disables the MAX1793. In shutdown, the pass transistor, control circuitry, reference,
and all internal circuits are turned off, reducing supply
current to typically 0.1µA. Connect SHDN to IN for normal operation. In shutdown, RST goes low and OUT is
discharged to GND with a 5kΩ internal resistance.
Output Voltage Selection
The MAX1793 features Dual Mode operation. In preset
voltage mode, the output of the MAX1793 is set to an
internally trimmed voltage (see the Ordering
Information). Select this mode by connecting SET to
GND (Figure 2).
In adjustable mode, an output is selected between
+1.25V and +5V using two external resistors connected
as a voltage-divider to SET (Figure 3). The output voltage is determined by the following equation:
VOUT = VSET [1 + (R1/R2)]
RST Comparator
The MAX1793 features a low VOUT indicator that asserts
when the output voltage falls out of regulation. The
open-drain RST output goes low when OUT falls 6%
below its nominal output voltage. RST remains low for
4ms after OUT has returned to its nominal value. A
100kΩ pullup resistor from RST to a suitable logic supply voltage (typically OUT) provides a logic control signal. RST can be used as a power-on-reset (POR) signal
to a microcontroller or can drive an external LED to indicate power failure. RST is low during shutdown.
Current Limiting
R1 = R2 [(VOUT/VSET) – 1]
The MAX1793 features a current limit that monitors the
pass transistor, typically limiting short-circuit output
current to 1.8A. The current limit is increased to
approximately 2.8A when the output voltage is in regulation, improving performance with large transient
loads. The output can be shorted to ground for an
indefinite period of time without damaging the device.
Since the input bias current at SET is less than 100nA,
large resistance values can be used for R1 and R2 to
minimize power consumption without losing efficiency.
Up to 125kΩ is acceptable for R2.
In preset voltage mode, the impedance from SET to
GND should be less than 10kΩ. Otherwise, spurious
conditions could cause the voltage at SET to exceed
the 50mV dual-mode threshold.
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX1793. When the junction temperature
exceeds TJ = +170°C, a thermal sensor turns off the
pass transistor, allowing the IC to cool. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on once the IC’s junction
temperature drops approximately 20°C. Continuous
short-circuit conditions will result in a pulsed output.

where (T J(MAX) – T A ) is the temperature difference
between the maximum allowed die junction (+150°C) and
the surrounding air, θJC (junction-to-case) is the thermal
resistance of the package chosen, and θCA is the thermal
resistance from the case through the PCB, copper traces,
and other materials to the surrounding air. Figure 4 shows
allowable power dissipation for typical PCBs at +25°C,
+50°C, and +70°C ambient temperatures.
The MAX1793 TSSOP-EP package features an exposed
thermal pad on its underside. This pad lowers the thermal resistance of the package by providing a direct heat
conduction path from the die to the PCB. Additionally,
the ground pin (GND) also channels heat. Connect the
exposed thermal pad and GND to circuit ground by
using a large pad (minimum 1in2 recommended), or multiple vias to the ground plane.
Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
and Regulator Stability
Capacitors are required at the input and output of the
MAX1793. Connect a 4.7µF capacitor between IN and
ground (CIN) and a 6.8µF capacitor between OUT and
ground (COUT). CIN serves only to lower the source
impedance of the input supply and may be smaller than
4.7µF when the MAX1793 is powered from regulated
power supplies or low-impedance batteries.
The output capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR)
affects stability and output noise. COUT ESR should be
0.5Ω or less to ensure stability and optimum transient
response. Surface-mount ceramic capacitors have very
low ESR and are commonly available in values up to
10µF. Other low-ESR (< 0.5Ω) capacitors, such as surface-mount tantalum or OS-CON, may also be used.
Connect CIN and COUT as close to the IC as possible to
minimize the impact of PCB trace inductance.
MAXIMUM SUPPLY VOLTAGE
Maximum power dissipation of the MAX1793 depends
on the thermal resistance of the case and circuit board,
the temperature difference between the die junction
and ambient air, and the rate of air flow. The power dissipated by the device is: P = IOUT (VIN – VOUT). The
resulting maximum power dissipation is:

Noise, PSRR, and Transient Response
The MAX1793 output noise is typically 115µVRMS during
normal operation. This is suitably low for most applications. See the output noise plot in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.
The MAX1793 is designed to achieve low dropout voltage and low quiescent current in battery-powered systems while still maintaining good noise, transient
response, and AC rejection. See the Typical Operating
Characteristics for a plot of Power-Supply Rejection
Ratio (PSRR) vs. Frequency. When operating from very
noisy sources, supply noise rejection and transient
response can be improved by increasing the values of
the input and output capacitors and employing passive
postfiltering.
Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage
A regulator’s minimum input-to-output voltage differential
(dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply
voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines the
useful end-of-life battery voltage. Since a p-channel
MOSFET is used as the pass device, dropout voltage is
the product of R DS(ON) and load current (see the
Electrical Characteristics and Dropout Voltage vs. Load
Current in the Typical Operating Characteristics). The
MAX1793 operating current typically remains below
225µA in dropout.
