1.7V—5.5V , 1A Low Noise LDO Linear
IN
Regulators in TDFN and WLP
General Description
The MAX38903A/B/C/D are a family of low-noise linear
regulators that deliver up to 1A of output current with only
Benefits and Features
● Delivers Flexible Operating Range
• 1.7V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
• 0.6V to 5.0V Programmable Output Voltage
• 1A Maximum Output Current
7µV
of output noise from 10Hz to 100kHz.
RMS
These regulators maintain ±1% output accuracy over a
wide input voltage range, requiring only 100mV of input-
to-output headroom at full load. The 1200µA no-load
supply current is independent of dropout voltage.
• 100mV Maximum Dropout at 1A Load
• < 1µA Shutdown Supply Current
● Reduces Noise and Improves Accuracy
• ±1% DC Accuracy Over Load, Line, and Temperature
The MAX38903A 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
MAX38903B/C output voltage can be adjusted to a value
in the range of 0.6V to 5.0V using two external resistors.
The MAX38903B also includes an active-high POK signal
for trouble-free load startup.
• 7µV
Output Noise, 10Hz to 100kHz
RMS
• 1200µA Operating Supply Current
• 70dB PSRR at 10kHz
● Enables Ease-of-Use and Robust Protection
• Stable with 4μF(min) Output Capacitance
• Programmable Soft-Start Rate
The MAX38903D has factory-preset output voltages
over the range of 0.7V to 5V in 50mV steps. All versions
include a programmable output soft-start rate, output
over-current and thermal overload protection.
• Overcurrent and Overtemperature Protection
• Output-to-Input Reverse Current Protection
• Power-OK Output
● Reduces Size, Improves Reliability
The MAX38903A/B are offered in a 10-pin, 3mm x 3mm
TDFN package, while the MAX38903C/D are offered
in a 9-bump, 0.4mm pitch, 1.4mm x 1.4mm wafer-level
package (WLP).
• 3mm x 3mm, 10-pin TDFN Package and
1.4mm x 1.4mm, 3 x 3 Bump, 0.4mm Pitch WLP
• -40°C to 125°C Operating Temperature
