Product details
Overview
MAX1793EUE18+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with fixed 1.8V output, delivering guaranteed 1A load current at 210mV dropout, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load, and ultra-low 125µA ground current. It integrates a reset output with 4ms delay, thermal-overload protection, and short-circuit current limiting - designed for power management in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1793EUE18+T datasheet, MAX1793EUE18+T pinout, MAX1793EUE18+T application, or MAX1793EUE18+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8V preset output, TSSOP-EP package thermal performance, dual-mode SET pin flexibility, and low-noise (115µVRMS) operation under battery-powered transient loads.
Technical Context
The MAX1793EUE18+T uses an internal p-channel MOSFET pass transistor enabling low dropout and minimal quiescent current - no base drive required, unlike PNP-based LDOs. Its Dual Mode™ architecture selects between factory-trimmed 1.8V output (SET = GND) or adjustable mode (1.25V–5.0V) via external resistor divider.
It features a dedicated open-drain RST output asserting low when VOUT falls below 94% of nominal (1.692V), holding for ≥4ms after recovery. Thermal shutdown activates at +170°C with ~20°C hysteresis, and current limiting operates at 1.1–3.3A depending on output regulation state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1% over -40°C to +85°C, 1mA–1A load, VIN ≥ 2.5V |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV typical at 1A load - enables operation down to VIN = 2.01V while maintaining regulation |
| Ground Current | 125µA typical at 100µA load - minimizes battery drain in standby |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA max - supports deep-sleep modes in portable systems |
| Output Noise | 115µVRMS (10Hz–1MHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog/RF circuitry |
| Reset Threshold | 94% of nominal VOUT (1.692V) with 4ms release delay - provides clean POR signaling |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +170°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during overload |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1793EUE18+T is housed in a 16-pin thermally enhanced TSSOP-EP package (1.5W power dissipation, 1.1mm height, 30% smaller than SOT223), with exposed pad (EP) soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | N.C. | No internal connection - must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 2–5 | IN | Main input supply pins (2.5V–5.5V); internally tied but require external parallel connection and 4.7µF bypass |
| 6 | RST | Open-drain reset output; low when VOUT < 94% of 1.8V; requires external 100kΩ pull-up to OUT or logic rail |
| 7 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; pulls OUT low via 5kΩ internal resistor and disables all circuitry in shutdown |
| 10 | GND | Power and signal ground; also functions as heatsink - must connect to large copper area or ground plane |
| 11 | SET | Voltage-setting input; grounded for 1.8V fixed mode; connected to resistor divider for adjustable mode |
| 12–15 | OUT | Regulated 1.8V output terminals; internally tied and must be externally joined with 6.8µF low-ESR capacitor |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground; mandatory connection to PCB ground plane for thermal reliability and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ Output Selection | Factory-trimmed 1.8V output or 1.25V–5.0V adjustable range via single SET pin - eliminates need for separate fixed/adjustable SKUs |
| p-Channel MOSFET Pass Device | Enables 210mV dropout at 1A and 125µA ground current - avoids base-drive losses inherent in PNP regulators |
| Integrated Reset Output | Guaranteed 4ms delay and 94% trip threshold - delivers reliable power-on-reset without external supervisor IC |
| Thermal & Short-Circuit Protection | Self-limiting operation up to +170°C junction temp and indefinite output short-circuit tolerance - ensures robustness in field use |
| TSSOP-EP Thermal Package | 1.5W continuous dissipation at +70°C ambient with 19mW/°C derating - supports high-current operation in compact layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS79618DRBR | 1.8V fixed, 1A, 150mV dropout, 175µA IQ, 5-pin WSON package | No RST output, no SET pin adjustability, lower thermal dissipation (0.7W) | Preferred where board space is critical and reset supervision is handled externally |
| MCP1826T-1802E/DB | 1.8V fixed, 1A, 300mV dropout, 120µA IQ, 8-pin SOIC package | No reset output, no thermal shutdown, larger footprint, higher dropout limits minimum VIN to 2.1V | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial designs where thermal margin exceeds 1.5W requirement |
Compared with MAX1793EUE18+T, the TPS79618DRBR offers lower dropout but lacks integrated reset and thermal protection, while the MCP1826T-1802E/DB provides similar IQ but sacrifices safety features and thermal capability - making MAX1793EUE18+T optimal for portable systems demanding reliability, compactness, and feature integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the MAX1793EUE18+T?
The MAX1793EUE18+T supports an absolute maximum input voltage of +6V relative to GND. Its operational input range is +2.5V to +5.5V; operation below 2.5V triggers undervoltage lockout. For reliable 1.8V output regulation, VIN must exceed 2.01V (1.8V + 210mV dropout). Exceeding +6V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the MAX1793EUE18+T require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes, the MAX1793EUE18+T requires external capacitors: a 4.7µF input capacitor (CIN) between IN and GND, and a 6.8µF output capacitor (COUT) between OUT and GND. COUT must have ESR ≤ 0.5Ω for stability - ceramic, low-ESR tantalum, or OS-CON types are acceptable. Both capacitors must be placed as close as possible to their respective pins to minimize trace inductance.
How does the RST output function on the MAX1793EUE18+T?
The RST output on the MAX1793EUE18+T is an open-drain signal that goes low when VOUT drops below 94% of 1.8V (i.e., 1.692V) and remains low for at least 4ms after VOUT recovers. It requires an external 100kΩ pull-up resistor to OUT or another logic rail. RST is also forced low during shutdown, enabling unified power-fail and shutdown detection.
Can the MAX1793EUE18+T be used in adjustable-output mode despite its 1.8V preset designation?
Yes, the MAX1793EUE18+T supports adjustable-output mode via the SET pin. When SET is disconnected from GND and connected to an external resistor divider, the output can be set from 1.25V to 5.0V using VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2). The device retains all specifications including 1A current capability and 115µVRMS noise in this configuration.
What thermal design considerations apply to the MAX1793EUE18+T in its TSSOP-EP package?
The MAX1793EUE18+T's TSSOP-EP package requires soldering the exposed pad (EP) and GND pin to a large PCB ground plane (minimum 1in² recommended) using multiple thermal vias. This achieves the specified 1.5W power dissipation at +70°C ambient. Without proper thermal coupling, junction temperature may exceed +150°C, triggering thermal shutdown or reducing reliability.
