Product details
Overview
MAX1793EUE25+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with fixed 2.5V output, delivering guaranteed 1A load current at 210mV dropout (IOUT = 1A), ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load, and ultra-low 125µA ground current. It integrates a reset output with 4ms delay and operates from +2.5V to +5.5V input - ideal for powering core logic rails in portable instrumentation and handheld computing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1793EUE25+T datasheet, MAX1793EUE25+T pinout, MAX1793EUE25+T application, or MAX1793EUE25+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at full load, reset threshold tolerance (90–96% VOUT nominal), thermal shutdown behavior (+170°C trip), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors (≤0.5Ω).
Technical Context
The MAX1793EUE25+T uses an internal p-channel MOSFET pass transistor enabling low quiescent current (125µA at light load) and stable operation without base-drive losses. Its Dual Mode™ architecture selects between factory-trimmed 2.5V output (SET = GND) or adjustable mode (1.25V–5.0V) via external resistor divider.
It features integrated protection: short-circuit current limiting (1.1–3.3A), thermal overload shutdown (+170°C with ~20°C hysteresis), and open-drain RST output asserting low when VOUT falls below 90–96% of nominal and holding for ≥4ms after recovery. The TSSOP-EP package includes an exposed thermal pad and GND pin for enhanced heat dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% (TA = –40°C to +85°C, IOUT = 1mA–1A) |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV typical / 350mV max at 1A load - enables operation down to VIN = 2.71V |
| Ground Current | 125µA typical at IOUT = 100µA - extends battery life in standby |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA typical - supports deep-sleep power states |
| Output Noise | 115µVRMS (10Hz–1MHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog/RF subsystems |
| Reset Threshold | 90–96% of nominal VOUT with 1.5–8.0ms release delay - ensures reliable POR sequencing |
| Thermal Shutdown | +170°C trip with ~20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1793EUE25+T is housed in a 16-pin thermally enhanced TSSOP package (U16E-3 outline) with exposed pad (EP) soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance. Package dimensions: 5.0mm × 4.4mm × 1.1mm height; 30% smaller than SOT223.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | N.C. | No internal connection - must remain unconnected |
| 2–5 | IN | Main input supply (2.5V–5.5V); all four pins internally tied and require external parallel routing |
| 6 | RST | Open-drain reset output; low when VOUT < 90–96% nominal; requires external 100kΩ pull-up to OUT or logic rail |
| 7 | SHDN | Active-low enable; logic low disables regulator and pulls OUT low via 5kΩ internal resistor |
| 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 2.5V preset mode; connected to resistor divider for adjustable mode |
| 12–15 | OUT | Regulated output; all four pins internally tied and must be externally shorted at PCB |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground; mandatory connection to PCB ground plane for thermal integrity and EMI control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ Output Selection | Factory-trimmed 2.5V or user-adjustable 1.25V–5.0V via SET pin - eliminates need for separate fixed/adjustable part numbers |
| Low Dropout at Full Load | 210mV at 1A - maximizes usable battery voltage range in single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline systems |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 125µA ground current at light load - reduces no-load power loss by >5× vs. legacy LDOs |
| Integrated Power-On Reset | 4ms-delay RST output with 90–96% VOUT threshold - provides deterministic microcontroller boot timing without external circuitry |
| Robust Protection Suite | Short-circuit current limit (1.1–3.3A), thermal shutdown (+170°C), and undervoltage lockout (2.0–2.3V) - enables fault-tolerant operation in unregulated supplies |
| Thermally Optimized Package | TSSOP-EP with exposed pad and GND pin - achieves 1.5W continuous dissipation at +70°C ambient without heatsink |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A4700RGWR | 20V input range, 1A, 20µVRMS noise, but higher 300mV dropout at 1A and 1mA quiescent current | Better for wide-input industrial rails; unsuitable for low-VIN battery systems due to higher dropout and IQ | Select only if input exceeds 5.5V or sub-20µV noise is required - not drop-in for MAX1793EUE25+T's 2.5–5.5V battery domain |
| MCP1826T-2502E/DB | 2.5V fixed, 1A, 350mV dropout at 1A, 120µA ground current, no RST output | Lacks reset functionality and has higher dropout - requires external POR circuitry | Consider only when reset is handled elsewhere and board space permits larger dropout margin; no thermal pad or EP |
Compared with TPS7A4700RGWR and MCP1826T-2502E/DB, the MAX1793EUE25+T uniquely combines low dropout (210mV), ultra-low IQ (125µA), integrated RST, and thermally optimized TSSOP-EP - making it the only option that meets all three requirements simultaneously for compact, battery-powered 2.5V systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed maximum dropout voltage for MAX1793EUE25+T at 1A load?
The guaranteed maximum dropout voltage for MAX1793EUE25+T at 1A load is 350mV, measured as VIN – VOUT when VOUT drops 100mV below its nominal value under specified conditions (VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.5V). This specification applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and ensures reliable regulation even as input voltage declines near end-of-battery-life.
Does MAX1793EUE25+T require external components for basic operation?
Yes - MAX1793EUE25+T requires a 4.7µF input capacitor (CIN) between IN and GND, and a 6.8µF low-ESR (≤0.5Ω) output capacitor (COUT) between OUT and GND. These are mandatory for stability, transient response, and noise suppression. The RST pin also requires a 100kΩ pull-up resistor to OUT or another logic rail to generate a valid reset signal.
Can MAX1793EUE25+T be used in adjustable-output configurations?
No - MAX1793EUE25+T is factory-trimmed for fixed 2.5V output and is not configurable for adjustable operation. While the underlying MAX1793 family supports adjustable mode via the SET pin, the EUE25+T variant is permanently configured for 2.5V; connecting SET to a resistor divider will not alter the output voltage and may impair regulation accuracy.
What thermal management is required for MAX1793EUE25+T at full 1A load?
At 1A load with VIN = 5.5V and VOUT = 2.5V, MAX1793EUE25+T dissipates up to 3W (P = IOUT × (VIN – VOUT)). To maintain junction temperature ≤+150°C, the exposed pad (EP) and GND pin must be soldered to a minimum 1in² copper area or multi-via ground plane. Without this, thermal shutdown will activate at ambient temperatures above +40°C.
Is the RST output of MAX1793EUE25+T compatible with 3.3V logic systems?
Yes - the RST output is open-drain and rated for operation up to +5.5V. When pulled up to a 3.3V rail (e.g., via 100kΩ resistor), it delivers a clean 0V/3.3V logic-level reset signal compatible with standard CMOS inputs. The RST low-voltage specification is 0.1V max at 1mA sink current, ensuring solid logic-low assertion across temperature and process variation.
