Dual Low-Dropout Linear Regulators
with
RESET
or Low-Noise Output in UCSP or QFN
General Description
The MAX8530/MAX8531 offer the benefits of low-
dropout voltage and ultra-low power regulation in
subminiaturized UCSP and QFN packages with an inte-
grated microprocessor reset circuit (MAX8530 only).
The devices operate from a 2.5V to 6.5V input and
deliver up to 200mA and 150mA outputs with low
dropout of 100mV (typ) at 100mA. Designed with an
internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor, the supply
current is kept at a low 130µA (with both LDOs on),
independent of the load current and dropout voltage.
Other features include short-circuit protection and
thermal-shutdown protection.
The MAX8530 provides microprocessor open-drain,
active-low reset output to monitor OUT1, eliminating
external components and adjustments. The MAX8530
asserts a 100ms (min)
RESET
signal when OUT1 drops
below 87% of the nominal output voltage. The MAX8531
includes a reference bypass pin for low output noise
(40µV
RMS
).
Both devices include a logic-controlled shutdown input
and are available in 6-bump UCSP and 6-pin thin QFN
exposed pad packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Regulator 2 Output. Guaranteed 150mA output current.
Regulator Input
Regulator 1 Output. Guaranteed 200mA output current.
Ground. Also functions as a heatsink for the 6-pin QFN. Solder to a large
pad or the circuit board ground plane to maximize thermal dissipation.
Shutdown Input. A logic low shuts down both regulators. Connect to IN
for normal operation.
Reset Active-Low Open-Drain Output. Minimum timeout of 100ms.
RESET
is low in shutdown.
Reference Noise Bypass. Connect to a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor for
reduced noise at both outputs.
