Product details
Overview
MAX1735EUK25 from Maxim Integrated is a negative-output, low-dropout linear regulator delivering a guaranteed -2.5V output at up to 200mA with 80mV dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and 85µA quiescent current - designed for GaAsFET bias, mobile wireless data modems, and portable instrumentation requiring stable negative rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1735EUK25 datasheet, MAX1735EUK25 pinout, MAX1735EUK25 application, or MAX1735EUK25 equivalent, key selection criteria include preset -2.5V output, SOT23-5 package thermal performance, shutdown threshold compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic, stability with 1µF ceramic output capacitor, and PSRR >60dB at 100Hz for noise-sensitive analog circuits.
Technical Context
The MAX1735EUK25 uses an internal N-channel MOSFET pass element with -1.25V precision reference and Dual Mode™ feedback architecture, enabling either fixed -2.5V output (SET tied to GND) or adjustable operation (-1.25V to -5.5V) via external resistor divider. Its error amplifier compares SET voltage against the -1.25V reference to regulate OUT.
Shutdown control accepts bipolar logic: device enables when |VSHDN| > 1.6V (positive or negative), disables below |0.4V|, drawing <1nA in shutdown. Thermal protection activates at +160°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis, cycling output during sustained overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Preset -2.5V (±1% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C); no external resistors required for fixed mode |
| Max Output Current | Guaranteed -200mA continuous output under specified thermal conditions |
| Dropout Voltage | 80mV at -200mA load - enables operation down to VIN = -2.58V for -2.5V output |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA typical at no load; increases to 125µA at -200mA - optimized for battery runtime |
| PSRR | >60dB at 100Hz - suppresses input ripple in analog signal chains and RF bias rails |
| Shutdown Current | <1nA at VSHDN = 0V - preserves battery charge during system sleep modes |
| Stability | Stable with ≥1µF ceramic COUT (ESR ≤0.2Ω) - eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic capacitors |
Pinout & Package
MAX1735EUK25 is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with exposed pad not electrically connected. The IN pin serves as thermal path; soldering to large copper area improves θJA by up to 30%.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference and thermal sink | Common return for all internal circuitry; must connect to low-impedance ground plane for stability and thermal performance |
| IN (Pin 2) | Negative input supply | Accepts -2.5V to -6.5V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND; also functions as primary thermal conduction path |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Bipolar enable/disable control | Drives to GND for shutdown (<1nA IQ); >+1.6V or <-1.6V enables regulation - compatible with 3.3V/5V logic without level shift |
| SET (Pin 4) | Dual Mode™ feedback node | Tied to GND for -2.5V fixed output; connects to external resistor divider for adjustable mode (VSET = -1.25V reference) |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated negative output | Delivers up to -200mA; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND; ESR ≤0.2Ω ensures stability across full operating range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ Feedback | Single pin (SET) selects between factory-trimmed -2.5V output or user-adjustable range (-1.25V to -5.5V) - reduces BOM count and design complexity |
| N-Channel MOSFET Pass | Eliminates base-drive current loss; maintains 85µA quiescent current even at full load and near dropout - extends battery life in portable systems |
| Bipolar Shutdown Logic | Accepts either positive or negative enable signals (|VSHDN| > 1.6V) - simplifies interface with mixed-voltage microcontrollers and analog controllers |
| Thermal Cycling Protection | +160°C trip point with 15°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained short-circuit while maintaining functional safety |
| Low-ESR Stability | Guaranteed stable with 1µF ceramic COUT (ESR ≤0.2Ω) - avoids costly tantalum capacitors and enables compact PCB layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar negative-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1963AES5-2.5#TRPBF | Positive-output LDO (2.5V); no negative capability; higher IQ (1.1mA); 350mV dropout at 1.5A | Cannot replace MAX1735EUK25 in negative-rail applications; suitable only where system architecture permits positive bias redesign | Select only if redesigning entire bias network to positive domain and requiring >1A output |
| TPS72325DBVR | Positive-output LDO (2.5V); 250mA rating; 150mV dropout; 250µA IQ; no shutdown | Lacks bipolar shutdown, negative output, and low-IQ - incompatible with battery-powered negative-rail use cases | Not recommended as direct alternative; consider only for non-portable, positive-rail-only systems with relaxed quiescent current requirements |
Compared with LT1963AES5-2.5#TRPBF and TPS72325DBVR, the MAX1735EUK25 uniquely delivers verified -2.5V output, sub-100µA quiescent current, and bipolar shutdown in SOT23-5 - making it the only viable option for space- and power-constrained negative-bias applications without architectural changes.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX1735EUK25 over temperature?
The MAX1735EUK25 guarantees ±2% output voltage accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, with ±1% typical at +25°C. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage Accuracy" for ILOAD = -100µA to -200mA, where min/max limits are -3% and +2% respectively.
Can the MAX1735EUK25 be used with a 1µF output capacitor for all output voltages?
Yes - the MAX1735EUK25 is stable with a 1µF ceramic output capacitor for its preset -2.5V output. The datasheet explicitly states "Stable with 1µF COUT" and specifies ESR ≤0.2Ω for outputs between -2.5V and -5.5V, which applies directly to the MAX1735EUK25.
Does the MAX1735EUK25 require an input capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a 1µF ceramic capacitor is required between IN and GND per the Typical Operating Circuit and Applications Information section. It lowers source impedance during transients; smaller values may be used only when powered from a low-impedance source like another regulator or fresh battery.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the MAX1735EUK25?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the MAX1735EUK25 is -7.0V relative to GND, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the recommended operating range is -2.5V to -6.5V per the General Description - exceeding -6.5V risks violating safe operating area limits under load.
How does the shutdown function behave when driven by a negative voltage?
When driven by a negative voltage, the MAX1735EUK25 enters shutdown if |VSHDN| < 0.4V (e.g., -0.3V), and enables regulation if |VSHDN| > 1.6V (e.g., -2.0V). This bipolar behavior is documented in Note 3 of the Electrical Characteristics table and Pin Description for SHDN.
