Product details
Overview
MAX1726EUK18+TG035 from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output, ultra-low quiescent current (2µA), low-dropout linear regulator delivering 1.8V at up to 20mA with ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over -40°C to +85°C. It features reverse-battery protection, thermal shutdown, short-circuit foldback limiting, and operates from 2.5V to 12V input-ideal for smoke detector main power and real-time clock backup in dual-Li+ or 9V battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1726EUK18+TG035 datasheet, MAX1726EUK18+TG035 pinout, MAX1726EUK18+TG035 application, or MAX1726EUK18+TG035 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 20mA output under 2µA IQ, 1µF minimum output capacitance stability, SOT23-5 package footprint compatibility, and factory-trimmed 1.8V output without external feedback components.
Technical Context
The MAX1726EUK18+TG035 uses an internal p-channel MOSFET pass transistor with a 1.245V reference error amplifier, enabling ultra-low dropout operation and eliminating base-drive current losses typical of PNP regulators. Its shutdown logic responds to SHDN < 0.5V, reducing supply current to 0.7µA while disconnecting OUT from GND.
Thermal protection activates at +150°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis, causing pulsed output during sustained overload; reverse-battery protection limits VIN < 0V current to <10µA when SHDN is driven via 100kΩ resistor-critical for field-replaceable battery compartments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
MAX1726EUK18+TG035 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0057, land pattern 90-0174), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm with gull-wing leads. The top mark is ADNL.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts +2.5V to +12V; reverse-battery protected when SHDN biased via 100kΩ |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for IN, OUT, SHDN; connects internally to exposed pad (if present) |
| 3 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers fixed 1.8V; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability |
| 4 (GND) | Second Ground Terminal | Reduces ground path impedance; must be connected to same GND plane as Pin 2 |
| 5 (SHDN) | Active-Low Enable | Pulled high to IN for normal operation; driven <0.5V to enter 0.7µA shutdown mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ architecture | 2µA supply current maintained across full load, input, and temperature range-no increase in dropout |
| Integrated reverse-battery protection | Blocks conduction and limits reverse current to <10µA without external diodes or FETs |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Turns off output at +150°C junction temp; auto-restarts after 15°C cooldown-prevents latch-up during overload |
| Factory-trimmed 1.8V output | Eliminates external feedback network, reduces BOM count, and guarantees ±1.5% accuracy without calibration |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1µF ceramic output cap-no tantalum or aluminum electrolytic required for reliability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-IQ LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS78018DRVR | 1.8V fixed, 500nA IQ, 200mA output, WSON-6 package | Higher output current but larger footprint; lacks reverse-battery protection | Select when >20mA load or ultra-deep sleep (<1µA) is required; verify PCB layout supports WSON-6 |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output current capability of the MAX1726EUK18+TG035?
The MAX1726EUK18+TG035 guarantees 20mA output current across its full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and input voltage range (+2.5V to +12V). This rating is validated under worst-case conditions including dropout and thermal stress, ensuring reliable performance in battery-powered smoke detectors and remote sensors where load transients occur.
Does the MAX1726EUK18+TG035 require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the MAX1726EUK18+TG035 does not require external feedback resistors. It is a factory-trimmed fixed-output regulator delivering 1.8V ±1.5%, with internal resistor division connected directly between OUT and GND. This eliminates BOM items and layout complexity compared to adjustable regulators like the MAX1725, simplifying design for space-constrained applications such as smart battery packs.
How does reverse-battery protection function in the MAX1726EUK18+TG035?
The MAX1726EUK18+TG035 limits reverse supply current to <10µA when VIN is forced below ground by monitoring polarity and disconnecting internal circuitry and parasitic paths. To activate this feature, SHDN must be driven through a 100kΩ resistor rather than tied directly to IN. This protects both the IC and battery during incorrect insertion in field-serviceable devices like smoke alarms.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stable operation of the MAX1726EUK18+TG035?
The MAX1726EUK18+TG035 requires a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor connected between OUT and GND for guaranteed stability across -40°C to +85°C. Unlike many LDOs, it imposes no ESR constraints-enabling use of low-cost, high-reliability X7R or C0G ceramics without risk of oscillation, which is essential for long-life industrial and alarm system deployments.
Can the MAX1726EUK18+TG035 be used with a 9V alkaline battery?
Yes, the MAX1726EUK18+TG035 supports input voltages from +2.5V to +12V, making it fully compatible with standard 9V alkaline batteries across their entire discharge curve (≈9.5V fresh to ≈4.5V end-of-life). Its 600mV dropout at 20mA ensures continuous 1.8V regulation until the battery drops below 2.4V-providing maximum usable energy extraction in battery-powered alarms and transmitters.
