General Description
The MAX1818 low-dropout linear regulator operates
from a +2.5V to +5.5V supply and delivers a guaran-
teed 500mA load current with low 120mV dropout. The
high-accuracy (±1%) output voltage is preset at an
internally trimmed voltage (see
Selector Guide
) or can
be adjusted from 1.25V to 5.0V with an external resis-
tive divider.
An internal PMOS pass transistor allows the low 125µA
supply current to remain independent of load, making
this device ideal for portable battery-operated equip-
ment such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellu-
lar phones, cordless phones, base stations, and
notebook computers.
Other features include an active-low open-drain reset
output that indicates when the output is out of regula-
tion, a 0.1µA shutdown, short-circuit protection, and
thermal shutdown protection. The device is available in
a miniature 800mW 6-pin SOT23 package.

Note 1: Thermal properties are specified with product mounted on PC board with one square-inch of copper area and still air. With
minimal copper, the SOT23 package dissipates 712mW at +70°C. With a quarter square inch of copper, it will dissipate
790mW at +70°C. Copper should be equally shared between the IN, OUT, and GND pins.
Note 2: This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that imposes a limit on the thermal profile to which
the device can be exposed during board-level solder attach and rework. The limit permits only the use of the solder profiles
recommended in the industry standard specification, IPC JEDEC-J-STD-020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for the IR/VPR and
convection reflow. Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
