Datasheet

General Description
The MAX1857 low-dropout linear regulator operates
from a +2.5V to +5.5V supply and delivers a guaran-
teed 500mA load current with low 120mV dropout. The
high-accuracy (±1%) output voltage is preset at an
internally trimmed 4.75V or can be adjusted from 1.25V
to 5.0V with an external resistive divider.
An internal PMOS pass transistor allows the low 135µA
supply current to remain independent of load, making
this device ideal for portable battery-operated equip-
ment such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellu-
lar phones, cordless phones, base stations, and
notebook computers.
Other features include an active-low open-drain reset
output with a 4.5ms timeout period that indicates when
the output is out of regulation, a 0.1µA shutdown mode,
short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown protec-
tion. The device is available in a miniature 8-pin µMAX
package. For higher power applications, refer to the
MAX1792 and MAX1793 data sheets.
