Product details
Overview
MAX1589EZT300+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator with integrated reset output, designed for battery-powered portable electronics. It delivers 500mA continuous output current at 3.0V with ±0.5% initial accuracy, 175mV dropout at full load, and operates from 1.62V to 3.6V input-enabling operation down to single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly end-of-discharge voltages in notebook computers and digital still cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1589EZT300+T datasheet, MAX1589EZT300+T pinout, MAX1589EZT300+T application, or MAX1589EZT300+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 500mA load capability under low-input-voltage conditions, active-low open-drain RESET timing (≥70ms delay), logic-controlled shutdown (<1µA off-state current), thermal-overload protection, and compatibility with 1µF/4.7µF ceramic bypass networks.
Technical Context
The MAX1589EZT300+T uses an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor (RDS(ON) = 0.33Ω) to achieve low dropout and supply current independent of load or dropout voltage. Its error amplifier compares a trimmed bandgap reference against a fixed internal feedback divider to regulate the 3.0V output.
RESET functionality is implemented via a dedicated power-good comparator monitoring VOUT, asserting active-low open-drain output when VOUT falls below 82.5% of nominal (2.475V), with ≥70ms delay on power-up and immediate deassertion on brownout or shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V (factory-trimmed, no external resistors required) |
| Max Output Current | 500mA continuous-supports core logic rails in portable SoC systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 175mV at 500mA-enables >3.0V output from 3.175V input, extending battery runtime |
| Output Accuracy | ±0.5% initial tolerance-meets tight regulation requirements for DSPs and memory I/O |
| Reset Threshold | 82.5% of VOUT (2.475V) with 1.7% hysteresis-ensures clean µP reset during brownout |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA typical at 500mA load-minimizes standby drain in always-on subsystems |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA-critical for long-term storage or sleep-mode power budgeting |
Pinout & Package
MAX1589EZT300+T is packaged in a 6-pin thin SOT23 (1.1mm height) with exposed pad not present; pin 5 is internally connected (I.C.) and must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN | Regulator input (1.62V–3.6V); requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND |
| 2 | GND | Power ground and thermal path; solder to large copper area for heat dissipation |
| 3 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; <0.6V disables regulator and pulls RESET low |
| 4 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset flag; pulled low until VOUT stable ≥70ms |
| 5 | I.C. | Internally connected node; leave floating or connect to GND per layout guidelines |
| 6 | OUT | 3.0V regulated output (500mA max); requires 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| P-channel MOSFET pass element | Eliminates base-drive current loss; enables 90µA quiescent current even at 500mA load and in dropout |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | Reduces total system supply current to <1µA-essential for battery-backed real-time clocks and sensors |
| Integrated RESET with timing | Guarantees ≥70ms reset assertion after power-up, meeting Intel/ARM processor reset timing requirements |
| Thermal-overload protection | Shuts down at +165°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis-prevents permanent damage during sustained overload |
| Short-circuit protection | Limits output current to 850mA typ; prevents catastrophic failure during PCB trace shorts or connector faults |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator with reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS79530DRBR | 3.0V fixed output, 500mA, but requires ≥2.7V input; no integrated RESET output | Requires external reset IC or µC GPIO monitoring for power-good signaling | Choose when board space permits discrete reset implementation and input voltage stays >2.7V |
| MCP1825-3002E/DB | 3.0V fixed output, 500mA, 250mV dropout at 500mA; includes RESET but with 200ms min delay | Longer reset timeout may delay system boot in time-critical embedded applications | Prefer when extended reset hold time improves reliability in noisy power environments |
Compared with TPS79530DRBR and MCP1825-3002E/DB, the MAX1589EZT300+T uniquely combines ultra-low 1.62V minimum input, 175mV dropout, and factory-trimmed 70ms RESET in a 6-pin SOT23-enabling direct replacement in space-constrained, single-cell battery designs without redesigning reset timing or adding components.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage and tolerance of the MAX1589EZT300+T?
The MAX1589EZT300+T provides a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 3.0V with ±0.5% initial accuracy over temperature and load. This tolerance is guaranteed at +25°C and maintained within ±1.5% across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX1589EZT300+T require external resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the MAX1589EZT300+T does not require external resistors. Its 3.0V output is internally trimmed and fixed-indicated by the "300" suffix in the part number. The device uses an internal feedback divider, eliminating resistor placement, layout area, and tolerance-induced regulation errors.
What is the function of Pin 5 (I.C.) on the MAX1589EZT300+T?
Pin 5 on the MAX1589EZT300+T is labeled "I.C." (Internally Connected) and serves no external circuit function. Per the Pin Description section, it may be left floating or connected to GND-no performance difference is specified, and no internal signal is routed to this terminal.
How does the RESET output behave during shutdown of the MAX1589EZT300+T?
When SHDN is pulled low, the MAX1589EZT300+T enters shutdown mode and actively pulls the RESET pin low-regardless of output voltage level. This behavior ensures deterministic reset assertion during controlled power-down sequences, supporting orderly firmware save and state retention in microcontrollers.
Can the MAX1589EZT300+T operate from a single alkaline cell?
No, the MAX1589EZT300+T cannot reliably operate from a single alkaline cell. Its minimum input voltage is 1.62V, while a fresh alkaline cell starts at ~1.6V and drops rapidly under load. It is designed for single Li-ion/Li-poly cells (nominal 3.7V, discharge to ~2.8V) or dual NiMH/NiCd cells (2.4V–3.0V), where the 1.62V–3.6V input range is fully utilized.
