MAX25301A/MAX25301B
1A Automotive Low-Noise LDO Linear
Regulator
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX25301A/B are low-noise automotive linear regulators that deliver up to 1A of output current with only
7µVRMS of output noise from 10Hz to 100kHz.

These regulators maintain ±1% output accuracy over a
wide input-voltage range, requiring only 100mV of inputto-output headroom at full load. The 1200µA no-load supply current is independent of dropout voltage.
The MAX25301A has nine pin-selectable output voltages:
1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, 4.0V, and 5V.
The MAX25301B output voltage can be adjusted to a value in the range of 0.6V to 5.3V using two external resistors. The MAX25301B also includes an active-high POK
signal for trouble-free load startup.
All versions include a programmable output soft-start rate
as well as output-overcurrent and thermal-overload protection.
The MAX25301A/B are offered in a 10-pin TDFN (3mm x
3mm) package.

Note 1: Limits over the specified operating temperature and supply voltage range are guaranteed by design and characterization, and
production tested at room temperature only.
Note 2: Dropout voltage is defined as (VIN - VOUT), when VIN = VOUT(NOMINAL) - 0.1V. For VOUT(NOMINAL) less than 1.7V, dropout
voltage is not guaranteed.
Note 3: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
