Detailed Description
The MAX1598 is a low-noise, low-dropout, low-quiescent-current linear regulator designed primarily for battery-powered applications. The part is available with
preset output voltages from 2.5V to 5V in 100mV increments. This device can supply loads up to 200mA. As
illustrated in Figure 1, the MAX1598 consists of a 1.25V
reference, error amplifier, P-channel pass transistor,
and internal feedback voltage-divider.
The 1.25V bandgap reference is connected to the error
amplifier’s inverting input. The error amplifier compares
this reference with the feedback voltage and amplifies
the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the
reference voltage, the pass-transistor gate is pulled
IN
SHDN
lower, which allows more current to pass to the output
and increases the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is too high, the pass-transistor gate is pulled up,
allowing less current to pass to the output. The output
voltage is fed back through an internal resistor voltagedivider connected to the OUT pin.
An external bypass capacitor connected to the BP pin
reduces noise at the output. Additional blocks include a
current limiter, reverse battery protection, thermal sensor, and shutdown logic. The MAX1598 also includes
an autodischarge function, which actively discharges
the output voltage to ground when the device is placed
in shutdown mode.

Low-Noise, Low-Dropout, 200mA
Linear Regulator
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX1598 features a 1.1Ω typical P-channel MOSFET
pass transistor. This provides several advantages over
similar designs using PNP pass transistors, including
longer battery life. The P-channel MOSFET requires no
base drive, which reduces quiescent current considerably. PNP-based regulators waste considerable current in
dropout when the pass transistor saturates. They also use
high base-drive currents under large loads. The
MAX1598 does not suffer these problems and consumes
only 100µA of quiescent current whether in dropout, lightload, or heavy-load applications (see the Typical
Operating Characteristics).
Current Limit
The MAX1598 includes a current limiter, which monitors
and controls the pass transistor’s gate voltage, limiting the
output current to 458mA. For design purposes, consider
the current limit to be 220mA minimum to 1.1A maximum.
The output can be shorted to ground indefinitely without
damaging the part.
Thermal-Overload Protection
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX1598. When the junction temperature
exceeds TJ = +155°C, the thermal sensor signals the
shutdown logic, turning off the pass transistor and
allowing the IC to cool. The thermal sensor turns the
pass transistor on again after the IC’s junction temperature cools by 15°C, resulting in a pulsed output during
continuous thermal-overload conditions.
Thermal-overload protection is designed to protect the
MAX1598 in the event of fault conditions. For continual
operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction-temperature rating of TJ = +150°C.
Operating Region and Power Dissipation
The MAX1598 maximum power dissipation 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 dissipation
across the device is P = IOUT (VIN - VOUT). The maximum
power dissipation is:
PMAX = (TJ - TA) / (θJB + θBA)
where TJ - TA is the temperature difference between the
MAX1598 die junction and the surrounding air, θJB (or
θJC) is the thermal resistance of the package, and θBA
is the thermal resistance through the PC board, copper
traces, and other materials to the surrounding air.
The GND pin of the MAX1598 performs the dual functions of providing an electrical connection to ground
and channeling heat away. Connect the GND pin to
ground using a large pad or ground plane.
Reverse Battery Protection
The MAX1598 has a unique protection scheme that limits
the reverse supply current to 1mA when either VIN or
V SHDN falls below ground. Their circuitry monitors the
polarity of these two pins and disconnects the internal
circuitry and parasitic diodes when the battery is
reversed. This feature prevents device damage.
Noise Reduction
An external 0.01µF bypass capacitor at BP, in conjunction with an internal 200kΩ resistor, creates an 80Hz
lowpass filter for noise reduction. The MAX1598 exhibits
30µVRMS of output voltage noise with CBP = 0.01µF and
COUT = 10µF. This is negligible in most applications.
Startup time is minimized by a power-on circuit that precharges the bypass capacitor. The Typical Operating
Characteristics section shows graphs of Noise vs. BP
Capacitance, Noise vs. Load Current, and Output Noise
Spectral Density.
____________Applications Information
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
Under normal conditions, use a 1µF capacitor on the
MAX1598 input and a 2.2µF to 10µF capacitor on the output. Larger input capacitor values and lower ESRs provide better supply-noise rejection and line-transient
response. Reduce noise and improve load-transient
response, stability, and power-supply rejection by using
large output capacitors. For stable operation over the full
temperature range and with load currents up to 200mA, a
2.2µF (min) ceramic capacitor is recommended.
Note that some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capacitance and ESR variation with temperature. With
dielectrics such as Z5U and Y5V, it may be necessary to
increase the capacitance by a factor of 2 or more to
ensure stability at temperatures below -10°C. With X7R or
X5R dielectrics, 2.2µF should be sufficient at all operating
temperatures. A graph of the Region of Stable COUT ESR
vs. Load Current is shown in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.

MAX1598
Output Voltage
The MAX1598 is supplied with factory-set output voltages
from 2.5V to 5V in 100mV increments. Except for the
MAX1598EZK29 and the MAX1598EZK32 (which have an
output voltage preset at 2.84V and 3.15V, respectively),
the two-digit suffix allows the customer to choose the output voltage in 100mV increments. For example, the
MAX1598EZK33 has a preset output voltage of 3.3V (see
the Selector Guide).
MAX1598
Low-Noise, Low-Dropout, 200mA
Linear Regulator
Use a 0.01µF bypass capacitor at BP for low output voltage noise. Increasing the capacitance slightly decreases
output noise but increases startup time. Values above
0.1µF provide no performance advantage and are not recommended (see the Shutdown Exit Delay graphs in the
Typical Operating Characteristics).
PSRR and Operation from Sources
Other than Batteries
The MAX1598 are designed to deliver low dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in battery-powered
systems. Power-supply rejection is 63dB at low frequencies and rolls off above 10kHz. See the PowerSupply Rejection Ratio Frequency graph in the Typical
Operating Characteristics.
When operating from sources other than batteries,
improved supply-noise rejection and transient response
can be achieved by increasing the values of the input
and output bypass capacitors, and through passive filtering techniques. The Typical Operating Characteristics show the MAX1598’s line- and load-transient
responses.
Load-Transient Considerations
The MAX1598 load-transient response graphs (see the
Typical Operating Characteristics) show two components of the output response: a DC shift from the output
impedance due to the load current change, and the
transient response. Typical transient for a step change
in the load current from 0 to 50mA is 12mV. Increasing
the output capacitor’s value and decreasing the ESR
attenuates the overshoot.
Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage
The regulator’s minimum input-output voltage differential (or dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable
supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because
the MAX1598 uses a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor, their dropout voltage is a function of drain-to-source
on-resistance (RDS(ON)) multiplied by the load current
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics).
