MAX4834/MAX4835
250mA LDO Linear Regulators
with Current-Limiting Switch
General Description
The MAX4834/MAX4835 family of low-dropout (LDO)
linear regulators feature an accurate current-limiting
switch with an integrated FLAG or RESET function. These
devices operate from 2.5V to 5.5V and deliver up to
250mA of load current at a preset output voltage. Preset
output voltage levels are 1.8V/2.5V/2.8V/3.0V/3.3V.
The MAX4834/MAX4835 offer a programmable soft-start
control function to eliminate false reset during startup.
The MAX4834 provides a FLAG function to notify the
system when the load current exceeds the limit. The
MAX4835 provides a RESET function to notify the system
when the output drops below the threshold. Additionally,
reverse-current protection prevents current flowing from
the output to the input. Other features include a low 90µA
quiescent current, a 0.1µA shutdown current.
The MAX4834/MAX4835 are available in space-saving
6-pin SOT23 and TDFN packages. Each device is specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature
range. Contact factory for other programmed output
voltage versions from 1.5V to 3.3V in 100mV increments.

PART
Note: “xy” are placeholders for the output voltage levels of the
devices. Insert the values found in Table 1 at the end of this document in the place of “xy”. The “_” is a placeholder for either the
RESET or the FLAG feature. Insert “B” in the place of “_” for
RESET and “C” for FLAG. “dd” is a placeholder for the reset
timeout period. Insert the values found in Table 2 in the place of
“dd.” For example, MAX4835EUT18BD2 has a 1.8V output voltage, RESET feature, and a 30ms reset timeout period. Note that
“dd” applies only to the devices with RESET option and does not
apply to the devices with FLAG option. For devices with the
FLAG option, leave dd blank. Standard versions require a minimum order increment of 2.5k units. Nonstandard versions must
be ordered in 10k unit increments. Contact factory for availability.

Note 1: Parts are 100% tested at +25°C. Limits across the full temperature range are guaranteed by design and correlation over the
specified temperature range.
Note 2: The dropout voltage is measured from VIN to VOUT when VOUT is 2% below its nominal value. The nominal output voltage
is measured from VOUT to GND when VIN is 1V greater than VOUT. Defined only for VOUT ≥ 2.5V.
Note 3: Soft-start time is defined as the time required for the output to rise from 10% of its nominal value to 90% of its nominal
value.
Note 4: For VOUT < 2V, VIN must be above 2.5V.
Note 5: This is the maximum time OUT can be out of tolerance before a reset is issued. It is implemented to ensure that momentary
output glitches do not trigger a reset condition.
Note 6: In startup mode, the blanking time counter is not started until the soft-start time has elapsed. The total time from startup to
FLAG issued is tSS + tBLANK.

Active-Low Reset Output. Push-pull RESET goes low when the voltage at OUT is below the reset

threshold or when the voltage at OUT is greater than IN. RESET is low when SHDN is low or the
(MAX4835) device is in thermal shutdown. After the reset condition terminates, RESET remains low for the
duration of the reset timeout period.
Detailed Description
RESET Output (MAX4835)
The MAX4834/MAX4835 are ultra-low quiescent current,
low-dropout linear regulators with an integrated current
limiter. These devices guarantee up to 250mA drive capabilities and regulate the preset output voltage.
The RESET output asserts when one of the following
conditions occurs:
The MAX4834 has a flag output that asserts low when
the load current exceeds the current limit for more
than the blanking time (tBLANK). The MAX4835 has a
reset output that asserts low when the regulator output
voltage is below the reset threshold voltage (VRESET).
VRESET is 87.5% of the nominal output voltage. Figure
1 shows the simplified functional diagram and Figure 2
shows the typical application circuits.
●● The output voltage (VOUT) is below the reset threshold (VRESET).
FLAG Output (MAX4834)
The open-drain FLAG output goes low and the LDO’s
pass transistor is latched off when the current in the pass
transistor is at its output current limit for more than the
blanking time (tBLANK). Cycling IN or SHDN (high to low
to high) brings the device out of its latched-off state and
back into normal operation.
www.maximintegrated.com
●● The input voltage (VIN) is below the input undervoltage lockout threshold (VUVLO).
●● SHDN is pulled low.
●● The device is in thermal shutdown.
●● When VOUT > VIN.
RESET remains low for the reset timeout period (tRESET)
after reset conditions are terminated. There are four
RESET timeout periods available as shown in the
Electrical Characteristics table. RESET is available in a
push-pull configuration as shown in the Selector Guide.
Shutdown
Pull SHDN low to shut down the LDO and reduce the
quiescent current consumption of the device from 90µA
to 0.1µA. In shutdown mode, the pass transistor, control
circuit, and reference circuit are turned off. Connect
SHDN to a supply voltage greater than VIH to turn on
the LDO.

MAX4834/MAX4835
Shutdown Discharge (MAX4835)
OUT discharges through a 900Ω internal resistor during
shutdown mode.
Reverse OUT to IN Current
When the output voltage is greater than the input voltage,
the internal pass transistor turns off. To avoid reversecharging the input source, the current at IN is guaranteed
to be below 3µA when VOUT ≥ VIN.
Current Limit
The MAX4834/MAX4835 include an accurate internal
current-limiting circuit. OUT can be shorted to ground
indefinitely without damaging the part.
The MAX4834 latches off if the load current exceeds
the current limit for more than the blanking time (see the
FLAG Output section). During soft-start, the device does
not latch off to an overload condition. During an overload
condition, the MAX4835 holds the current at current limit
until the thermal limit is reached. Once the junction temperature reaches +165°C, thermal shutdown occurs.
Thermal Shutdown
When the junction temperature (TJ) exceeds +165°C,
the LDO’s pass transistor turns off allowing the junction
to cool. The LDO’s pass transistor turns on again after
the IC’s junction temperature cools by 15°C, resulting
in a pulsed output during continuous thermal overload
conditions.
Soft-Start
During power-up, the soft-start ensures that the output
ramps up slowly reducing inrush current peaks. See the
soft-start response time plots in the Typical Operating
Characteristics. The soft-start time (tSS) is given by the
following equation:
tSS = CSS (ms)
where CSS is in nF.
A soft-start capacitor (CSS) of 10nF gives a 10ms tSS. A
1ms minimum soft-start time is fixed internally to ensure
that the output rises slowly even without any external
capacitor at SS pin to ground. The device is in soft-start
mode when either the voltage at IN or SHDN is cycled
high to low to high.

Applications Information
Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability
For stable operation over the full temperature range
and with load currents up to 250mA, use a 3.3µF (min)
ceramic output capacitor with an ESR < 0.2Ω. To reduce
noise and improve load transient response, stability,
and power-supply rejection, use larger output capacitor
values such as 10µF (note that some ceramic capacitors
exhibit large capacitance and ESR variation with temperature). X7R capacitors provide good performance over the
-40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
To improve power-supply rejection and transient response,
use a 0.1µF capacitor between IN and GND. The
MAX4834/MAX4835 remain stable with purely resistive
loads or current loads up to 250mA.
15kV Operational ESD Protection
A 3.3µF or higher value ceramic capacitor from OUT to
GND provides a 15kV (Human Body Model) protection
at OUT. The ESR value of the capacitor should be less
than 0.2Ω.
Reset Transient Immunity
The reset circuit is relatively immune to short
duration, falling VOUT transients. The Typical Operating
Characteristics show a graph of the Maximum Transient
Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive for which reset
is not asserted. The graph was produced using falling
VOUT transients starting at VOUT and ending below the
reset threshold by the magnitude indicated (reset threshold overdrive). The graph shows the maximum pulse
width that a falling VOUT transient can typically have
without triggering the reset pulse. As the amplitude of the
transient increases (i.e., goes further below the
reset threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width
decreases. Typically, a VOUT transient that goes only
10mV below the reset threshold and lasts up to 54µs does
not trigger a reset pulse.
Layout
When using the TDFN package, connect its exposed pad
to GND to provide a low thermal-resistance path for heat
transfer from the IC junction to the PCB.
