Datasheet

General Description
The MAX1935 low-dropout linear regulator operates
from a 2.25V to 5.5V supply and delivers a guaranteed
500mA load current with low 175mV dropout. The high-
accuracy (±1.5%) output voltage is preset at an inter-
nally trimmed voltage or can be adjusted from 0.8V to
4.5V with an external resistive-divider.
An internal PMOS pass transistor allows low 210µA
supply current, making this device ideal for portable
equipment such as personal digital assistants (PDAs),
cellular phones, cordless phones, and other equip-
ment, including base stations and docking stations.
Other features include an active-low, power-OK output
that indicates when the output is out of regulation, a
0.02µA shutdown mode, short-circuit protection, and
thermal-shutdown protection. The MAX1935 comes in a
tiny 1.9W, 8-pin 3mm x 3mm thin QFN package.
