Low-Voltage, Low-Dropout Linear Regulators
with External Bias Supply
2/MAX1983
General Description
Features
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 applica-
tions that require low-voltage outputs from low-voltage
inputs. The MAX1982 delivers 1.2V ( 3ꢀ% at 3ꢁꢁmA
from an input voltage of 1.25V to 5.5V. The MAX1983
delivers an adjustable output voltage from ꢁ.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 (-4ꢁ°C to +85°C% temperature range.
