MAX25302A/MAX25302B
2A Automotive Low-Noise LDO Linear
Regulators
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX25302A/MAX25302B are 1.7V to 5.5V VIN, lownoise linear regulators that delivers up to 2A of output
current with only 5.1μVRMS of output noise from 10Hz
to 100kHz. The regulator maintains ±1% output accuracy
over a wide input voltage range, requiring only 100mV of
input-to-output headroom at full load. The 1.3mA no-load
supply current is independent of dropout voltage.
● Delivers Flexible Operating Range
• 1.7V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
• 0.6V to 5.0V Programmable Output Voltage
• 2A Maximum Output Current
• 100mV Maximum Dropout at 2A Load
• < 1.5μA Shutdown Supply Current
The output voltage on the MAX25302B can be adjusted
to a value in the range of 0.6V to 5.0V by using two external resistors. The MAX25302B also includes an activehigh POK signal for trouble-free load startup.
The MAX25302A has nine pin-selectable output voltages:
1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, 4.0V, and 5V.
All versions include a programmable output soft-start rate,
output overcurrent, and thermal-overload protection.
The MAX25302A/MAX25302B are offered in a 3mm x
3.5mm, 14-pin TDFN package.

MAX25302A/MAX25302B
2A Automotive Low-Noise LDO Linear Regulators
Detailed Description
The MAX25302A/MAX25302B are high-performance pMOS linear regulators that are optimized for low noise, high-inputsupply rejection, low dropout voltage, and small solution size. They can deliver up to a maximum load current of 2A
while maintaining a low dropout voltage of 47mV. An enable input allows the regulator to be powered up and down,
while an internal soft-start circuit controls the inrush current at the input. SELA and SELB inputs are provided on the A
version for selecting one of nine output voltages and a power-OK output is provided on the B version for system powerup sequencing.
Enable (EN)
The MAX25302A/MAX25302B include an enable pin (EN). Pull EN low to shut down the output, or drive EN high to
enable the output. If a separate shutdown signal is not available, connect EN to IN.
Bypass (BYP)
The capacitor connected from BYP to OUT filters noise at the reference, feedback resistors, and regulator input stage. It
provides a high-speed feedback path for improved transient response. A 10nF capacitor rolls off noise at around 32Hz.
The slew rate of the output voltage during startup is also determined by the BYP capacitor. A 10nF capacitor sets the
slew rate to 5V/ms. This startup rate results in a 110mA slew current drawn from the input at startup to charge 22μF
output capacitance.
The BYP capacitor value can be adjusted from 1nF to 100nF to change the startup slew rate according to the following
formula:
5V
10nF
StartupSlewRate = ms x C
BYP
where CBYP is in nF.
Note that this slew rate applies only at startup. Recovery from a short circuit will occur at a slew rate approximately 500
times slower.
Also, note that being a low-frequency filter node, BYP is sensitive to leakage. BYP leakage currents above 10nA cause
measurable inaccuracy at the output and should be avoided.
Protection Features
The MAX25302A/MAX25302B are fully protected from an output short circuit by a current-limiting and thermal-overload
circuit. If the output is shorted to GND, the output current is limited to 2.8A (typ). Under these conditions, the device
quickly heats up. When the junction temperature reaches +165°C, a thermal-limit circuit shuts the output device off. Once
the device cools to +150°C, the output turns back on in an attempt to reestablish regulation. If the fault persists, the
output current cycles on and off as the junction temperature slews between +150°C and +165°C.
The MAX25302A/MAX25302B are also protected against reverse current when the output voltage is higher than the
input. In the event that extra output capacitance is used at the output, a power down transient at the input would normally
cause a large reverse current through a conventional regulator. The MAX25302A/MAX25302B include a reverse-voltage
detector that trips when IN drops 10mV below OUT, shutting off the regulator and opening the pMOS body diode
connection and preventing any reverse current.
Output Voltage Configuration (MAX25302A)
The MAX25302A has two configuration pins, SELA and SELB, that are read during power-up to determine the output
regulation voltage.

Output Voltage Configuration (MAX25302B)
The MAX25302B uses external feedback resistors to set the output regulation voltage as shown in the Typical Operating
Circuits. The output voltage can be set form 0.6V to 5.0V. Set the lower feedback resistor R2 to 300kΩ or less to minimize
FB input bias current error. Then, calculate the value of the upper feedback resistor R1 as follows:
VOUT
R1 = R2x( V
− 1)
FB
where VFB is the feedback regulation voltage of 0.6V.
To set the output to 2.4V, for example, R1 should be:
2.4V
R1 = 300kΩx( 0.6V − 1) = 900kΩ
Power-OK (MAX25302B)
The MAX25302B includes an additional open-drain output, POK, that goes high to indicate that the output voltage is in
regulation. Connect a pull-up resistor from this pin to an external supply. During startup, POK stays low until the output
voltage rises to 91% (typ) of its regulation level. If an overload event occurs at the output, or the output is shutdown, POK
goes low.
Input Capacitor
A 22μF ceramic capacitor is recommended for the input. Select a capacitor that does not degrade significantly over
temperature and DC bias. Capacitors with X5R or X7R temperature characteristics generally perform well.
Output Capacitor
A minimum of 8μF capacitance is required at OUT to ensure stable operation. Select a ceramic capacitor that maintains
its capacitance (8μF minimum) over temperature and DC bias. Capacitors with X5R or X7R temperature characteristics
generally perform well.
Thermal Considerations
The MAX25302A/MAX25302B are packaged in a 14-pin, 3mm x 3.5mm TDFN package with an exposed paddle. The
exposed paddle is the main thermal path for heat to escape the IC, and therefore, must be connected to a ground plane
with thermal vias to allow heat to dissipate from the device. Thermal properties of the package are given in the Package
Information section.
