Product details
Overview
MAX1589AETT150+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator with preset 1.5V output, delivering guaranteed 500mA continuous current from 1.62V–3.6V input, featuring ±0.5% initial accuracy, 175mV dropout at full load, and active-low open-drain RESET output asserted for ≥70ms after regulation-used in notebook computer core logic power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1589AETT150+T datasheet, MAX1589AETT150+T pinout, MAX1589AETT150+T application, or MAX1589AETT150+T equivalent, key selection criteria include low-input-voltage operation down to 1.62V, thermal-overload protection at +165°C, shutdown supply current <1µA, and compatibility with 4.7µF ceramic output capacitance for stable 1.5V core supply in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1589AETT150+T integrates a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor (RDS(ON) = 0.33Ω) enabling low dropout and supply current independent of load or dropout voltage. Its error amplifier compares internal reference against feedback from fixed 1.5V output divider, driving the gate to regulate output precisely.
RESET functionality uses a dedicated power-good comparator monitoring VOUT, asserting low when VOUT falls below 82.5% of nominal (1.2375V), with 70–160ms delay on power-up. Shutdown control is active-low, disconnecting output and pulling it to GND via 1.5kΩ resistor while reducing IQ to <1µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.50V - no external resistors required; matches core voltage requirements of ARM9/ARM11 processors and LPDDR memory I/O. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA continuous - supports high-pulse loads in digital still camera image sensor bias rails without dropout. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175mV at 500mA - enables operation down to 1.675V input, extending usable life of single-cell Li-ion batteries. |
| Output Accuracy | ±0.5% initial - ensures reliable CPU core voltage margining within JEDEC JESD8-12B specification limits. |
| Ground Current | 90µA typical at 500mA - minimizes quiescent loss in always-on subsystems such as real-time clock backup supplies. |
| RESET Delay | 70ms minimum - satisfies Intel Mobile Platform Power Management (MPPM) reset timing requirement for embedded controllers. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +165°C with 15°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload in sealed handheld enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1589AETT150+T is packaged in a 6-pin, 3mm × 3mm thin DFN with exposed thermal pad (EP), rated for 1.951W max power dissipation at +70°C ambient. The package features low-profile height (<0.8mm) and optimized thermal resistance (θJA ≈ 41°C/W on 1in² copper).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EP) | Exposed Pad | Thermal ground and mechanical anchor; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for safe 500mA operation. |
| 2 | OUT | Regulated 1.5V output; requires 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 3 | SHDN | Active-low enable; pulled high internally to IN; drives <1µA shutdown current when grounded. |
| 4 | GND | Power and signal ground; connects to EP for thermal conduction; forms return path for RESET sink current. |
| 5 | RESET | Open-drain active-low flag; sinks ≥100µA at 100mV VOL; requires external pull-up for µP reset input interface. |
| 6 | IN | Input supply (1.62V–3.6V); bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND to suppress source impedance noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| p-Channel MOSFET Pass Transistor | RDS(ON) = 0.33Ω eliminates base-drive current, enabling 90µA quiescent current even at 500mA load and in dropout. |
| Logic-Controlled Shutdown | Reduces total system standby power by cutting regulator output and sinking OUT to GND via 1.5kΩ resistor. |
| Integrated RESET Monitor | Guarantees ≥70ms reset pulse after power-up and immediate assertion on brownout below 1.2375V (82.5% of 1.5V). |
| Thermal & Short-Circuit Protection | Auto-cycles output during sustained overload (165°C trip, 150°C recovery), preventing field failure in unventilated PDAs. |
| Low-ESR Capacitor Compatibility | Stable with 4.7µF ceramic output caps (ESR ≤30mΩ), eliminating need for tantalum or polymer alternatives in cost-sensitive designs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B152MR-G | Fixed 1.5V, 500mA, but only 200mV dropout at 500mA and no RESET output. | Lacks power-good signaling; requires external reset IC for µP supervision. | Choose when RESET is not needed and lower BOM count outweighs missing supervision. |
| Analog Devices ADP160ACBZ-1.5-R7 | Fixed 1.5V, 150mA max output, 165mV dropout, no RESET, but offers 17µA IQ and better PSRR (80dB @1kHz). | Insufficient current for processor core rails; suited for low-power peripherals only. | Select only for sub-150mA loads where ultra-low quiescent current is prioritized over output capability. |
Compared with MAX1589AETT150+T, XC6219B152MR-G omits RESET functionality and has higher dropout, limiting battery end-of-life utilization; ADP160ACBZ-1.5-R7 provides superior PSRR and IQ but cannot support 500mA loads, making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement in core power applications.
