Product details
Overview
The MAX1589ETT100+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator with integrated active-low open-drain RESET output, designed for battery-powered portable electronics. It delivers 500mA continuous output current with ±0.5% initial accuracy at 1.0V preset output, operates from 1.62V to 3.6V input, and features 175mV dropout at full load-enabling extended runtime in notebook computers and digital still cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1589ETT100+ datasheet, MAX1589ETT100+ pinout, MAX1589ETT100+ application, or MAX1589ETT100+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 500mA output under low-input-voltage conditions (≥1.62V), thermal-overload and short-circuit protection, logic-controlled shutdown, and compatibility with 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitance for stable transient response.
Technical Context
The MAX1589ETT100+ employs an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor (RDS(ON) = 0.33Ω) to achieve low quiescent current (90µA typ at 500mA) independent of load and dropout voltage. Its error amplifier compares a precision reference against internal feedback to regulate output voltage with minimal line/load regulation drift.
RESET functionality is implemented via a dedicated power-good comparator asserting active-low output for ≥70ms after VOUT reaches regulation, with threshold accuracy of ±2.5% (80–85% of nominal VOUT) and hysteresis of ~1.7%. Shutdown mode reduces supply current to <1µA while actively pulling OUT to GND via a 1.5kΩ resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Preset to 1.0V ±0.5% initial accuracy; stable over -40°C to +85°C and 1mA–500mA load range. |
| Maximum Output Current | Guaranteed 500mA continuous; current limit trips at 850mA typical to protect against overload. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175mV at 500mA load and VOUT ≥ 1.8V; enables operation down to 1.62V input for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems. |
| Ground Current | 90µA typical at 500mA load and in dropout; ensures minimal battery drain during high-current operation. |
| RESET Delay | 70ms minimum assertion time after VOUT reaches regulation; provides reliable µP reset timing without external RC networks. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.62V to 3.6V; supports direct connection to partially discharged batteries and low-voltage rails. |
| PSRR | 70dB at f < 1kHz; suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC converters or switching supplies upstream. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1589ETT100+ uses a 6-pin 3mm × 3mm thin DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP), RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+ suffix). Package height is <0.8mm, optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Regulator input | Accepts 1.62V–3.6V supply; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND near pin for stability. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground | Primary ground return; also serves as heatsink-must be soldered to large PCB copper area. |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pull low to disable regulator; draws <1µA in shutdown; connect to IN or logic high for normal operation. |
| 4 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts low during power-up/brownout; rises 100ms after VOUT regulation; requires external pull-up. |
| 5 - I.C. | Internally connected | No external connection required; may be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 6 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 500mA at 1.0V; requires 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for transient stability. |
| EP - Exposed Pad | Thermal ground / mechanical anchor | Electrically connected to GND; must be soldered to PCB ground plane to enable rated 1.951W power dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low input voltage start-up | Operates from 1.62V min input-supports single-cell Li-ion (2.5–4.2V) across full discharge curve. |
| P-channel MOSFET pass element | Eliminates base-drive current loss; maintains 90µA quiescent current even at 500mA and in dropout. |
| Integrated RESET supervisor | Guarantees ≥70ms reset pulse with 82.5% VOUT threshold-no external monitoring IC needed. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Shuts down at +165°C junction temp with 15°C hysteresis; limits fault current to prevent board damage. |
| Tiny 3mm × 3mm DFN footprint | Reduces PCB area by >50% vs. SOT23-6; exposed pad improves thermal performance for high-current loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS79510DRBR | 1.0V fixed output, 500mA, 160mV dropout at 500mA, but requires minimum 2.0V input voltage. | Lacks integrated RESET output; requires external supervisor IC for power-on reset. | Select when higher input voltage (>2.0V) is available and RESET can be implemented externally. |
| MCP1825-1002E/DB | 1.0V fixed output, 500mA, 250mV dropout at 500mA, 1.7V min input, no RESET output. | Higher dropout limits usable battery range; no built-in reset function or thermal shutdown flag. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for RESET supervision and low-input-voltage operation. |
Compared with TPS79510DRBR and MCP1825-1002E/DB, the MAX1589ETT100+ uniquely combines 1.62V minimum input, integrated RESET, and 175mV dropout-making it the only option supporting full Li-ion discharge range with autonomous reset timing in a 3mm × 3mm DFN.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage of the MAX1589ETT100+?
The MAX1589ETT100+ has a factory-preset output voltage of 1.0V with ±0.5% initial accuracy over temperature and load. This value is trimmed during production and does not require external resistors-ensuring consistent 1.0V regulation across all units of MAX1589ETT100+ without configuration overhead.
Does the MAX1589ETT100+ require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes, the MAX1589ETT100+ requires a 1µF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND, and a 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor between OUT and GND. These values ensure stability across -40°C to +85°C and up to 500mA load, as validated in the MAX1589ETT100+ datasheet's Typical Operating Characteristics.
How does the RESET output of the MAX1589ETT100+ behave during power-up and brownout?
The RESET output of the MAX1589ETT100+ asserts low when VOUT falls below 82.5% of nominal (i.e., <825mV), remains asserted for ≥70ms after VOUT rises above regulation, and pulls low immediately upon shutdown or input undervoltage. It is open-drain and requires an external pull-up resistor.
Can the MAX1589ETT100+ operate from a single-cell Li-ion battery throughout its full discharge cycle?
Yes-the MAX1589ETT100+ operates from 1.62V to 3.6V input, covering the entire useful discharge range of a single-cell Li-ion battery (≈2.7V–4.2V nominal, down to 2.5V cutoff). Its 175mV dropout at 500mA ensures regulation remains active until battery voltage drops to 1.175V.
What thermal considerations apply to the MAX1589ETT100+ in the 3mm × 3mm TDFN package?
The MAX1589ETT100+ TDFN package requires the exposed pad (EP) to be soldered to a PCB ground plane for effective heat dissipation. With θJA ≈ 41°C/W on a 1in² copper pad, it sustains 1.951W at +70°C ambient-enabling 500mA output even with 2.6V input–1.0V output differential (1.6V × 500mA = 0.8W).
