MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A
General Description
The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A system
power supplies are designed specifically for CDMA cellular/PCS handsets. Each device contains five lowdropout linear regulators (LDOs), a 140ms (min) reset
timer, a serial interface, push-on/push-off control logic,
and two general-purpose open-drain outputs. Only the
serial interface is different between the MAX1798/
MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A: the MAX1798/
MAX1798A feature an SPI™-compatible serial interface,
and the MAX1799/MAX1799A feature an I2C™-compatible interface. The “A” parts have a -13% reset threshold, the non-A parts have a 9.5% threshold. The “A”
parts have a 175 delay on a reset-triggered shutdown,
the non-A shutdown instantly.
Each linear regulator features extremely low dropout
voltage, specified at two-thirds of the maximum output
current. LDO1 is rated for 300mA, while LDOs 2–5 are
each rated for 150mA. All LDOs are optimized for low
noise and isolation. Each LDO can be individually
enabled and disabled through the serial port, as well as
individually programmed to any of 32 voltages from
1.8V to 3.3V.
The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799As’ wide
2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes them compatible with a wide range of input supplies, including a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell battery. Both devices are
available in thermally-enhanced 20-pin TSSOP and QFN
exposed pad (EP) packages. Evaluation kits in TSSOP
(MAX1798EVKIT and MAX1799EVKIT) are available to
facilitate designs.

Detailed Description
The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A drive
CDMA cellular and PCS handsets or systems with
inputs from 2.5V to 5.5V. The devices contain five
LDOs, two open-drain outputs, and a reset output as
shown in Figure 1. All outputs are individually programmable through either an SPI (MAX1798/MAX1798A) or
I2C (MAX1799/MAX1799A) serial-port interface. The
outputs may be turned on or off individually through the
serial interface. Their output voltages are adjustable
from 1.8V to 3.3V in 32 increments. At power-up, all
outputs are at a default value of 2.98V, but only OUT1
is on. OUT1 is rated for 300mA and optimized for low
dropout. OUT2–5 are rated for 150mA. All LDOs are
optimized for low noise, high isolation, and low dropout.
OUT2–5 are set to 2.98V, but turned off. The control
data byte must be used to turn them on. If VIN1 falls
below 1V, a POR circuit resets all LDO voltages to
2.98V and OUT2–5 are turned off. If VIN2/3 or VIN4/5 fall
below 2.15V, the UVLO circuit turns off the corresponding output, but all LDO voltages remain at their prior
settings. OUT2–5 are optimized for low noise and high
isolation.
Open-Drain Outputs
The open-drain N-channel MOSFETs (DR1 and DR2,
Figure 2) have a nominal 2Ω on-resistance and can be
used to drive up to 10 LEDs for backlight or a vibrator
motor. DR1 and DR2 can sink 100mARMS (max). At
power-up, DR1 and DR2 are high impedance and are
commanded on by the control data byte.
Linear Regulator 1
RSO
Regulator 1 is a low-dropout linear regulator that
sources 300mA (max), operating from a 2.5V to 5.5V
input voltage (VIN1). OUT1 is turned on by using the on
button. OUT1 is turned off by using either the off pin or
the serial port. Its output can be adjusted from 1.8V to
3.3V from the SPI or I2C serial-port interface by setting
the control data byte (Table 1). OUT1 is always on
when the MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A
are on. If OUT1 is turned off, the entire IC shuts down. If
VIN1 falls below 1V, a POR circuit resets all LDO voltages to 2.98V and OUT1 is left on while OUT2–5 are
turned off.
RSO is an open-drain output, connected to OUT1
through an internal 14kΩ resistor. At power-up, OUT1
turns on and RSO is held low for 140ms (min). When RSO
goes high, OFF must be brought high within 35ms to
keep OUT1 on. Otherwise, if OFF is low, the watchdog
timer circuit counts down 35ms (min), and RSO is
actively held low while the entire device turns off.
The MAX1798/MAX1799 RSO goes low when OUT1
droops by more than 7.5% ±2% of its programmed output voltage. The MAX1798A/MAX1799A RSO goes low
when OUT1 droops by more than 13% ±2% of its programmed output voltage. RSO stays low for 140ms
(min) after OUT1 rises above the threshold. During this
time, the watchdog timer circuit is inactive.
The MAX1798A/MAX1799A have an additional timer
circuit to shut down the regulators when the RSO and
watchdog timer time out. If the OUT1 voltage level ever
exceeds the RSO threshold level before the reset and
Linear Regulators 2–5
Regulators 2–5 are LDOs that source 150mA (max)
from input voltages (VIN2/3 and VIN4/5) of 2.5V to 5.5V.
OUT2–5 can be turned on or off and adjusted from 1.8V
to 3.3V through the SPI or I2C serial-port interface by
setting the control data byte (Table 1). At power-up,

The shutdown timer requires continuous low RSO signal
and continuous nontriggered watchdog timer to shut
down the regulators.
ON and OFF Logic
See Figure 3. The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/
MAX1799A power up when VIN1 is greater than 2.5V
and ON is low (ON button is pressed down momentarily). When ON returns high, the device remains on. It
turns on OUT1 and the serial interface port. Once
OUT1 is in regulation, RSO stays low an additional
140ms (min). At this time, OUT1 is on and set to 2.98V,
while OUT2–5 are disabled and set to 2.98V. To stay
on, the OFF pin must be in a high state within 35ms
(min) or the device will shut down and can only be
turned on by pressing the ON button. While ON is held
low, the status of OFF is irrelevant and OUT1 and the
serial port are on.
After initial power-up, the logic level of ONO follows the
logic level of ON but is level-shifted to OUT1 high voltage. This signal can be used to interrupt the system
controller, which can subsequently manage an orderly
shutdown through the serial port by turning off OUT1.

Hard Shutdown
To shut down the MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/
MAX1799A, drive OFF low or allow the internal resistor
to pull down OFF while ON is high. The device shuts
down after the watchdog timer has cleared (35ms min,
52ms typ). During shutdown, all LDO outputs and RSO
are actively pulled to GND, the open-drain drivers are
in a high-impedance state, and the serial port and reset
timer are inactive. Previously programmed output voltage data is retained in the internal registers as long as
VIN1 > 2.1V. If the device is turned back on by the ON
button, OUT1 automatically is enabled with the preshutdown output voltage. OUT2–5 automatically return to
their preshutdown voltages once they are enabled
through the serial interface.
Soft Shutdown
The serial port can also be used to shut down the
MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A. Using the
control data byte to disable OUT1 will shut down the
entire device. Once shut down, the only means to turn
on the device is through a momentary low on the ON
button.
Control Data Byte
The control data byte is 8 bits long (3 command bits
and 5 data bits). The first 3 bits specify the action to be
taken, while the last 5 bits set the output voltage or
ON/OFF status. Each regulator has an individual DAC
that sets the output voltage. The DAC registers are
double buffered to allow for simultaneous updating of
all outputs. The output voltage is programmed per
Table 2 or Table 3. At power-up, if no specific voltage
is programmed, OUT1–5 will be set for 2.98V. All DAC
programming must be shifted from the double buffer to
the DACs with the update DAC command (Table 1,
000XXXXX) for the programmed voltages to be seen at
the LDO outputs. The DACs can be updated one at a
time or all at once after all desired outputs are programmed. The ON/OFF status of the LDOs and drivers
is not double-buffered and takes immediate effect upon
CS returning high (SPI compatible) or upon the ninth
rising edge of SCK during the command byte (Figure 2,
edge L). A one turns on the LDO output or driver output, and a zero turns it off.
SPI-Compatible Serial Interface
CS along with SCLK and DIN to communicate. The serial port operates when the device is enabled, even when
RSO is low. The MAX1798/MAX1798A can support a
2MHz (max) data rate. This SPI-compatible port uses
the CPOL = CPHA = 0 protocol.
I2C-Compatible Serial Interface
Use an I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface with the
MAX1799/MAX1799A to control the ON/OFF state and
output voltage of each regulator, the ON/OFF state of
the drivers, and to shut down the device. Use standard
I2C-compatible write-byte commands to program the
IC. Figure 2 is a timing diagram for the I2C protocol.
The MAX1799/MAX1799A is always a slave to the bus
master. The serial port operates when the device is
enabled, even when OUT1 and RSO are low. When AS
is high, the address is 0111111. When AS is low, the
address is 1001111. Two MAX1799/MAX1799A devices
can be controlled by a single bus master.
Output Voltage
The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A are
supplied with factory-set output voltages. At power-up,
all DACS are set for 2.98V, while only OUT1 is enabled;
all other LDO outputs and drivers are off. OUT2–5,
DR1, and DR2 must be enabled on with the serial port.
OUT2–5 can be individually programmed through the
serial port from 1.8V to 3.3V in 32 steps, either while on
or off. OUT1 can be programmed in 32 steps from 1.8V
to 3.3V only while on. (If OUT1 is off, the serial port is
also off, and OUT1 cannot be programmed.) If OUT1 is
turned off through the serial port or the OFF pin, the
entire chip, including the serial port, will be shut down.
However, all previously programmed DAC settings will
be retained as long as a valid supply voltage is maintained on IN1 (VIN1 > 2.1V).
Current Limit
The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A
include current limiting on each LDO output. OUT1 has
a current limit set at 500mA (320mA min), while
OUT2–5 have current limits set at 250mA (160mA min).
When the LDO output is in current limit, the current-limiter device monitors and controls the pass transistor’s
gate voltage, limiting the output current available from
the LDO. Once the excessive load is removed, normal
function resumes automatically.
Use an SPI-compatible 3-wire serial interface with the
MAX1798/MAX1798A to control the ON/OFF state and
output voltage of each regulator, the ON/OFF state of
the drivers, and to shut down the device. Figures 4a
and 4b are timing diagrams for the SPI protocol. The
MAX1798/MAX1798A is a write-only device and uses

Thermal-Overload Protection
The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A integrate a separate thermal monitor for each linear regulator. When the junction temperature of any LDO exceeds
TJ = +160°C, the specific thermal sensor signals the
shutdown logic, turning off the pass transistor and
allowing that LDO to cool. The thermal sensor turns the
pass transistor on again after the LDO’s junction temperature cools by 10°C, resulting in a pulsed output
during continuous thermal-overload conditions. Due to
the substrate’s thermal conductivity, a thermal overload
on one LDO may possibly affect other LDOs on the
device.
16
Thermal-overload protection is designed to protect the
MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A in the
event of fault conditions. For continual operation, do not
exceed the absolute maximum junction-temperature
rating of TJ = +150°C.
Noise Reduction
Bypass BP to GND with an external 0.01µF bypass
capacitor. The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/
MAX1799A exhibit 45µVRMS of output voltage noise.
Graphs of Output Noise vs. Load Current, Output Noise
(10Hz to 100kHz), PSRR vs. Frequency, and Channelto-Channel Isolation vs. Frequency appear in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.

Power Supplies
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
Use a 10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor on the
MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A’s input if all
the supply inputs are connected together. Larger input
capacitance and lower ESR provide better supply noise
rejection and line-transient response. If IN1, IN2/3, and
IN4/5 are connected to different supply voltages,
bypass each input with a 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic
capacitor.
A minimum 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor is recommended on OUT1, and a minimum 2.2µF low-ESR
ceramic capacitor is recommended on OUT2–5. The
MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A are stable
with output capacitors in the ESR range of 10mΩ to 1Ω.
Use larger capacitors to reduce noise and improve
load-transient response, stability, and power-supply
rejection.
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 use a minimum 4.7µF on OUT2–5 to ensure stability
at temperatures below -10°C. With X7R or X5R
dielectrics, 2.2µF should be sufficient at all operating
temperatures. Tantalum capacitors may cause instability with the MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A
and are not recommended for this application.
Use a 0.01µF bypass capacitor at BP for low outputvoltage noise. Increasing the capacitance will slightly
decrease the output noise but will increase the startup
time. Values above 0.1µF provide no performance
advantage and are not recommended.
Line-Transient Considerations
The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A are
designed to deliver low dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in battery-powered systems. Powersupply rejection is >60dB at low frequencies and rolls
off above 10kHz. See the Power-Supply Rejection Ratio
(PSRR) vs. 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 MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/
MAX1799A line- and load-transient responses.
Load-Transient Considerations
The MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A loadtransient response graphs (see Typical Operating
Characteristics) show three components of the output
response: the output capacitor’s ESR spike, the regulator’s transient settling response, and the DC shift due to
the LDO’s load regulation. Increasing the output capacitor’s value and decreasing the ESR reduce the overshoot.
Dropout Voltage
A regulator’s minimum input-output voltage differential
(dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply
voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines
the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the
MAX1798/MAX1798A/MAX1799/MAX1799A use Pchannel MOSFET pass transistors, their dropout voltage is a function of drain-to-source on-resistance
(R DS(ON) ) multiplied by the load current. See the
Dropout Voltage (OUT1) vs. Load Current graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
