Detailed Description
The MAX1818 is a low-dropout, low-quiescent-current
linear regulator designed primarily for battery-powered
applications. The device supplies loads up to 500mA
and is available with preset output voltages. As illustrat-
ed in Figure 1, the MAX1818 consists of a 1.25V refer-
ence, error amplifier, P-channel pass transistor, and
internal feedback voltage-divider.
The 1.25V reference is connected to the error amplifier,
which compares this reference with the feedback volt-
age and amplifies the difference. If the feedback volt-
age is lower than the reference voltage, the
pass-transistor gate is pulled 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 either an inter-
nal resistive divider connected to OUT or an external
resistor network connected to SET. The Dual Mode
comparator examines V
SET
and selects the feedback
path. If V
SET
is below 50mV, the internal feedback path
is used and the output is regulated to the factory-preset
voltage.
Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1IN
Regulator Input. Supply voltage can range from 2.5V to 5.5V. Bypass with a 1μF capacitor to GND (see
Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability).
2 POK
Open-Drain POK Output. POK remains low while the output voltage (V
OUT
) is below the POK threshold.
Connect a 100kΩ pull-up resistor from POK to OUT to obtain an output voltage.
3 SHDN
Active-Low Shutdown Input. A logic low reduces supply current below 15μA. In shutdown, the POK output is
low, and OUT is high impedance. Connect to IN for normal operation.
4 GND Ground
5 SET
Voltage-Setting Input. Connect to GND for preset output. Connect to a resistive voltage-divider between
OUT and GND to set the output voltage between 1.25V and 5.0V.
6 OUT
Regulator Output. Sources up to 500mA. Bypass with a 3.3μF low-ESR capacitor to GND. Use a 4.7μF
capacitor for output voltages below 2V.

Additional blocks include an output current limiter, ther-
mal sensor, and shutdown logic.
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX1818 features a 0.25Ω 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 regula-
tors also waste considerable current in dropout when
the pass transistor saturates, and use high base-drive
currents under large loads. The MAX1818 does not suf-
fer from these problems and consumes only 125µA of
quiescent current under heavy loads as well as in
dropout.
Output Voltage Selection
The MAX1818’s Dual Mode operation allows operation
in either a preset voltage mode or an adjustable mode.
Connect SET to GND to select the preset output volt-
age. The two-digit part number suffix identifies the out-
put voltage (see
Selector Guide)
. For example, the
MAX1818EUT33 has a preset 3.3V output voltage.
The output voltage may also be adjusted by connecting
a voltage-divider from OUT to SET to GND (Figure 2).
Select R2 in the 25kΩ to 100kΩ range. Calculate R1
with the following equation:
R1 = R2 [(V
OUT
/ V
SET
) – 1]
where V
SET
= 1.25V, and V
OUT
may range from 1.25V
to 5.0V.
Shutdown
Pull SHDN low to enter shutdown. During shutdown, the
output is disconnected from the input and supply cur-
rent drops to 0.1µA. When in shutdown, POK pulls low
and OUT is high impedance. The capacitance and load
at OUT determine the rate at which V
OUT
decays.
SHDN can be pulled as high as 6V, regardless of the
input and output voltage.
