200mA, Negative-Output, Low-Dropout
Linear Regulator in SOT23
The MAX1735 negative-output, low-dropout linear regulator operates from a -2.5V to -6.5V input and delivers a
guaranteed 200mA with a low 80mV dropout. The highaccuracy (±1%) output voltage is preset or can be
adjusted from -1.25V to -5.5V with an external resistive
voltage-divider.
An internal N-channel MOSFET allows for a low 85µA
quiescent current virtually independent of the load,
making this device ideal for battery-powered portable
equipment, such as PDAs, mobile phones, cordless
phones, and wireless data modems.
The device is available in several preset output voltage
versions: -5.0V, -3.0V, and -2.5V. All versions offer a
1nA low-power shutdown mode, short-circuit protection, and thermal overload protection. The device is
offered in a tiny 5-pin SOT23 package.

Dual Mode™ Regulator Feedback Input. Connect SET to GND for the preset output voltage. Use a
resistive voltage-divider from OUT to SET to set the output voltage between -1.25V and -5.5V.
Regulation setpoint is -1.25V.

Detailed Description
The MAX1735 is a low-dropout negative linear voltage
regulator. It features Dual Mode operation, allowing a
fixed -5.0V, -3.0V, or -2.5V output voltage or an
adjustable output from -1.25V to -5.5V. The regulator is
guaranteed to supply 200mA of output current. It features 60dB power-supply rejection for noise-sensitive
applications and a low 85µA operating current that optimizes it for battery-operated devices.
As Figure 1 illustrates, the device consists of an internal
-1.25V reference, an error amplifier, an N-channel
MOSFET, an internal precision-trimmed feedback voltage-divider, and a Dual Mode comparator.
The -1.25V reference is connected to the inverting input
of the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the
reference voltage with the selected feedback voltage
and amplifies the difference. The error amplifier drives
the MOSFET to control the output voltage.
The feedback voltage for regulation is generated by
either an internal or external resistive voltage-divider
connected from OUT to SET. The internal Dual Mode
6
comparator selects the feedback path based on VSET.
Connect SET to GND to use the internal feedback path,
setting the output voltage to the preset value. If an
external voltage-divider is used, see Output Voltage
Selection.
Internal N-Channel MOSFET
The MAX1735 features an N-channel MOSFET pass
transistor. Unlike similar designs using NPN bipolar
pass transistors, N-channel MOSFETs require extremely low drive currents, reducing overall quiescent current. Also, NPN-based regulators consume still more
base current in dropout conditions when the pass transistor saturates. The MAX1735 does not suffer from
these problems, consuming only 125µA total current at
full load and in dropout.
Output Voltage Selection
The MAX1735 features Dual Mode operation, allowing for
a preset or adjustable output voltage. In preset voltage
mode, the output of the MAX1735 is set to -5.0V, -3.0V, or
-2.5V (see Ordering Information). Select this mode by
connecting SET to GND (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Typical Application Circuit with Preset Output Voltage
In adjustable mode, an output voltage between -5.5V and
-1.25V is selected using two external resistors connected
as a voltage-divider from OUT to SET (Figure 3). The output voltage is determined by the following equation:
R1
VOUT = VSET 1 +
R2
where VSET = VREFERENCE = -1.25V when in regulation.
Since the input bias current at SET is
