MAX1725/MAX1726
General Description
The MAX1725/MAX1726 are ultra-low supply current,
low-dropout linear regulators intended for low-power
applications that demand the longest possible battery
life. Unlike inferior PNP-based designs, the MAX1725/
MAX1726s’ PMOS pass elements maintain an ultra-low
2µA supply current throughout their entire operating
range and in dropout. Despite their ultra-low power
consumption, the MAX1725/MAX1726 have tight output
accuracy (1.5%) and require just 1µF output capacitance
to achieve good load-transient response.
These regulators have a wide input voltage range
(+2.5V to +12V), making them excellent choices for
systems powered from two lithium-ion (Li+) cells and 9V
batteries. Other features include reverse-battery protection, short-circuit protection, and thermal protection.
The MAX1725 provides an adjustable 1.5V to 5V output
using an external resistor-divider. The MAX1726 provides factory preset 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V output voltages (see the Ordering Information). Both devices are
available in a tiny 5-pin SOT23 package.

Detailed Description
The MAX1725/MAX1726 are low-dropout, low-quiescentcurrent linear regulators designed primarily for batterypowered applications (Figure 1). The MAX1725 provides
an adjustable output voltage from 1.5V to 5V using an
external resistor-divider. The MAX1726 supplies preset
output voltages of 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V. These devices
consist of a +1.245V error amplifier, MOSFET driver,
and P-channel pass transistor (Figure 2).

pass to the output. The output voltage is fed back
through either an internal resistor voltage-divider connected to OUT (MAX1726) or an external resistor network connected to FB (MAX1725). Additional features
include an output current limiter, reverse-battery protection, a thermal sensor, and shutdown logic.
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX1725/MAX1726 feature a P-channel MOSFET
pass transistor. This provides 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
MAX1725/MAX1726 do not suffer from these problems, and consume only 2µA of quiescent current
throughout their load range (see the Typical Operating
Characteristics).
Shutdown
To enter shutdown, drive the SHDN pin below 0.5V.
When the MAX1725/MAX1726 are shut down, the output

MAX1725/MAX1726
The error amplifier compares 1.245V to the selected
feedback voltage and amplifies the difference. If the
feedback voltage is lower than 1.245V, the pass-transistor gate is pulled lower, allowing more current to
pass, and thus increasing the output voltage. If the
feedback voltage is higher than 1.245V, the pass-transistor gate is driven higher, allowing less current to
MAX1725/MAX1726
12V, Ultra-Low IQ, Low-Dropout
Linear Regulators
pass transistor shuts off, the output falls to ground, and
supply current drops from 2µA to 0.7µA. Connect SHDN
to IN for normal operation. If reverse-battery protection
is needed, drive SHDN through a 100kΩ resistor.
Thermal-Overload Protection
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX1725/MAX1726. When the junction temperature exceeds T J = +150°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
devices in the event of fault conditions. For continuous
operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction
temperature rating of TJ = +150°C.
Foldback Current Limiting
The MAX1725/MAX1726 also include a foldback current
limiter. When the output is shorted to ground, the output
PMOS drive is limited so that the output current does
not exceed 40mA (typ). The output can be shorted to
ground indefinitely without damaging the part.
Reverse-Battery Protection
The MAX1725/MAX1726 have a unique protection
scheme that limits the reverse supply current to less
than 10µA when VIN is forced below ground. The circuitry monitors the polarity of the input, disconnecting
the internal circuitry and parasitic diodes when the battery
is reversed. This feature prevents the device, battery,
and load from overheating and electrical stress. For
reverse-battery protection, drive SHDN through a
100kΩ resistor.
Applications Information
The MAX1725 features an adjustable output voltage
from 1.5V to 5V, using two external resistors connected
as a voltage-divider to FB (Figure 1). The MAX1725 is
optimized for operation with R2 = 1.2MΩ. The output
voltage is set by the following equation:
R1 

VOUT = VFB 1 +


R2 
where typically VFB = 1.245V. To simplify resistor selection:
V

R1 = R2  OUT − 1
 VFB

Choose R2 = 1.2MΩ for best accuracy.
Power-Supply Rejection and Operation
from Sources Other than Batteries
The MAX1725/MAX1726 are designed to deliver low
dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in batterypowered systems. Power-supply rejection is 60dB at low
frequencies and rolls off above 100Hz. At high frequencies, the output capacitor is the major contributor to the
rejection of power-supply noise (see the Power-Supply
Rejection Ratio vs. Frequency graph in the Typical
Operating Characteristics).
When operating from sources other than batteries,
improve supply-noise rejection and transient response
by increasing the value of the input and output capacitors, and by using passive filtering techniques (see the
Supply and Load Transient Response graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics).

Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
For general purposes, use a 1µF capacitor on the
MAX1725/MAX1726 input and output. Larger input
capacitor values and lower ESR provide better supplynoise rejection and transient response. A higher-value
input capacitor (10µF) may be necessary if large, fast
transients are anticipated and the device is located several inches from the power source. For stable operation
over the full temperature range, use a minimum of 1µF
on the output.
Output Voltage Selection
For fixed 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V output voltages, use
the MAX1726.
