KIT ATION EVALU LE B A IL A AV 19-2560; Rev 1; 10/08 Low-Voltage, Low-Dropout Linear Regulators with External Bias Supply The MAX1982/MAX1983 are low-voltage, low-dropout linear regulators with an external bias supply input. The 5V bias supply drives the gate of the internal N-channel pass transistor, making these devices ideal for applications that require low-voltage outputs from low-voltage inputs. The MAX1982 delivers 1.2V (±3%) at 300mA from an input voltage of 1.25V to 5.5V. The MAX1983 delivers an adjustable output voltage from 0.8V to 2V. The MAX1982/MAX1983 include a current-limit and thermal shutdown that protects the regulator in the event of a fault condition. Both devices are offered in a 6-pin SOT23 package and are specified over the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

Internal Pass Transistor Input. IN connects to the drain of the internal power switch. Bypass IN to GND with a 10µF ceramic capacitor. Detailed Description The MAX1982/MAX1983 are low-voltage, low-dropout linear regulators with an external bias supply input (see Figures 1 and 2). BIAS is powered by a 4.5V to 5.5V supply that is commonly available in laptop and desktop computers. The 5V bias supply drives the gate of the internal pass transistor, while a lower voltage input at the drain of the transistor (IN) is regulated to provide VOUT. Separating the bias input voltages yields higher efficiency. These devices are ideal for applications that require low-voltage outputs from low-voltage inputs. The MAX1982 delivers 1.2V (±3%) at 300mA from an input voltage of 1.25V to 5.5V. The MAX1983 delivers an adjustable output voltage from 0.8V to 2V. The MAX1982 features an open-drain PGOOD output that transitions high 1ms after the output reaches regulation. PGOOD goes low within 10µs of the output falling out of regulation by 120mV. Both devices feature current- and thermal-limiting circuitry that protect the MAX1982/MAX1983 from damage during fault conditions. Bias Supply Input The BIAS input powers the control circuitry and provides the pass transistor gate drive. Power BIAS from a well-regulated 5V (±10%) supply. Current drawn from the BIAS supply remains relatively constant with variations in VIN and load current (see the Typical Operating Characteristics). Bypass BIAS with a 0.1µF or greater 8 capacitor as close to the device as possible. The bias supply current remains low (250µA) when the MAX1982/MAX1983 are in dropout. Power-Supply Input IN connects to the drain of the internal N-channel power transistor. IN may be as low as 1.25V, minimizing power dissipation. Bypass IN with a 10µF or greater capacitor as close to the device as possible. Shutdown The MAX1982/MAX1983 feature a low-power shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current drawn to 1µA (typ), and BIAS current consumption to less than 1µA (typ). Driving SHDN low disables the voltage reference, error amplifier, gate-drive circuitry, and pass transistor (see Figure 2), and the device output enters a highimpedance state. Connect SHDN to BIAS for normal operation. PGOOD Output The MAX1982 provides an open-drain PGOOD output that goes high 1ms (min) after the output attains regulation (within 10% of the nominal output voltage). PGOOD transitions low 10µs after the output falls out of regulation by 120mV, or when the device enters shutdown. Connect a pullup resistor from PGOOD to BIAS for a logic-level output. Use a 100kΩ resistor to minimize current consumption. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Voltage, Low-Dropout Linear Regulators with External Bias Supply MAX1982/MAX1983 PGOOD MAX1982 SHDN 1ms DELAY BIAS UVLO SHUTDOWN OVERTEMP IN CURRENT SENSE BIAS 0.8V REFERENCE OUT GND Figure 1.

The current limit prevents damage to the internal power transistor, but the device can enter thermal shutdown if the power dissipation is great enough to increase the die temperature above +160°C (see the Thermal-Overload Protection section). Thermal-Overload Protection Thermal-overload protection limits the power dissipation in the MAX1982/MAX1983. When the die temperature exceeds +160°C, the pass transistor turns off, allowing the device to cool. Normal operation resumes when the die temperature cools by 20°C. A continuous thermal-overload condition results in a pulsed output. For continuous operation, do not exceed a junction temperature of +150°C. Applications Information Output Voltage Selection The MAX1982 output is fixed at 1.2V. The MAX1983 provides an adjustable output (0.8V to 2.0V).

MAX1983 Typical Application Circuit 10 10μF ADJ OFF R2 40kΩ GND as shown in Figure 4. Set the output voltage using the following equation: ⎛ R1 ⎞ VOUT = 0.8V ⎜1 + ⎟ ⎝ R2 ⎠ Set R2 at 40kΩ and choose R1 to achieve the desired output voltage. Set VIN to higher than (VOUT + 400mV) to meet the dropout voltage requirement (see the Input/Output (Dropout) Voltage section). To ensure stability over the specified input voltage range, the minimum output capacitance must be 10µF with a maximum ESR of 35mΩ. Operating Region and Power Dissipation The maximum power dissipation of the MAX1982/ MAX1983 depends on the thermal resistance of the 6-pin SOT23 package and the circuit board, the temperature difference between the die and ambient air, and the rate of airflow. The power dissipated in the device is: PD = IOUT × ( VIN − VOUT ) The resulting maximum power dissipation is: PDISS(MAX) = TJ(MAX) − TA θ JC + θCA where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature (+150°C) and TA is the ambient temperature, θJC is the thermal resistance from the die junction to the package case, and θCA is the thermal resistance from the case through the PC board, copper traces, and other materials to the surrounding air. For optimum power dissipation, use a large ground plane with good thermal contact to GND, and use wide input and output traces. When 1 square inch of copper is connected to the device, the maximum allowable power dissipation of a 6-pin SOT23 package is 696mW. The maximum power dissipation is derated by 8.7mW/°C above TA = +70°C. Extra copper on the PC board increases thermal mass, and reduces thermal resistance of the board. Refer to the MAX1982/MAX1983 EV kit for a layout example. The MAX1982/MAX1983 deliver up to 300mA and operate with input voltages up to 5.5V, but not simultaneously. High output currents can only be achieved when the input-output differential voltages are low (Figure 5). Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit ensures that the regulator starts up with adequate voltage for the gate-drive circuitry to bias the internal pass transistor.

Power Operating Region—Maximum Output Current vs. Supply Voltage only. The UVLO threshold is 4.2V, and V BIAS must remain above this level for proper operation, regardless of the level of VIN. Input Capacitor Bypass IN to ground with a 10µF or greater ceramic capacitor. Bypass BIAS to ground with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor for normal operation in most applications. Output Capacitor Bypass OUT to ground with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor greater than 10µF. The ESR must be less than 35mΩ. Choose an output capacitor to maintain the required output voltage tolerance during a load step. The change in output voltage is, ⎡ Δt ⎤ ΔV = I ⎢ESR + ⎥ COUT ⎥⎦ ⎢⎣ where I is the load current, COUT is the output capacitance, and Δt is the duration of the load step. Noise, PSRR, and Transient Response The MAX1982/MAX1983 operate with low-dropout voltage and low quiescent current in notebook computers while maintaining good noise, transient response, and AC rejection specifications. See the Typical Operating Characteristics for a graph of Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) vs. Frequency. Improved supply-noise rejection and transient response can be achieved by increasing the values of the input and output capacitors and use passive filtering techniques when operating from noisy sources. The MAX1982/MAX1983 load-transient response graphs (see the Typical Operating Characteristics) show two components of the output response: a DC shift from the output impedance due to the load current change and the transient response. A typical transient response for a step change in the load current from 1mA to 300mA is 20mV. Increasing the output capacitor’s value and decreasing the ESR attenuate the overshoot. Input/Output (Dropout) Voltage A regulator’s minimum input-to-output voltage differential (dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, the dropout voltage determines the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the MAX1982/MAX1983 use an N-channel pass transistor, the dropout voltage is a function of the drain-to-source on-resistance (RDS(ON) = 1Ω max) multiplied by the load current (see the Typical Operating Characteristics): VDROPOUT = VIN − VOUT = RDS(ON) × IOUT PC Board Layout Guidelines The MAX1982/MAX1983 require proper layout to achieve the intended output power level, high efficiency, and low noise. Proper layout involves the use of a ground plane, appropriate component placement, and correct routing of traces using appropriate trace widths. 1) Minimize high-current ground loops. Connect the ground of the device, the input capacitor, and the output capacitor together at one point. 2) To optimize performance, a ground plane is essential. Use all available copper layers in applications where the device is located on a multilayer board. 3) Connect the input filter capacitor less than 10mm from IN. The connecting copper trace carries large currents and must be at least 2mm wide, preferably 5mm wide. 4) Use as much copper as necessary to increase the thermal resistance of the device. In general, more copper provides better heatsinking capabilities. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX1982/MAX1983 350 MAX1982/MAX1983 Low-Voltage, Low-Dropout Linear Regulators with External Bias Supply Package Information Chip Information TRANSISTOR COUNT: 430 PROCESS: BiCMOS 12 For the latest package outline information and land patterns, go to www.maxim-ic.com/packages.
