Product details
Overview
MAX1806EUA08-TG075 from Maxim Integrated is a 500mA low-dropout linear regulator with preset 0.8V output, ±1% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, 175mV dropout at full load, and integrated PMOS pass transistor. It delivers stable low-voltage bias for core logic in portable and embedded systems requiring tight regulation under varying load and input conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1806EUA08-TG075 datasheet, MAX1806EUA08-TG075 pinout, MAX1806EUA08-TG075 application, or MAX1806EUA08-TG075 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping, confirmed pin functions, real-world thermal and transient behavior, and validated alternative options for 0.8V LDO designs in space-constrained applications.
Technical Context
The MAX1806EUA08-TG075 uses an internal 0.8V reference and error amplifier to regulate output via a 0.4Ω PMOS pass transistor, eliminating base-drive current and enabling ultra-low 210µA ground current. Its Dual Mode™ architecture selects preset regulation (SET = GND) without external resistors.
It integrates active-low POK with 93% VOUT threshold, thermal shutdown at +170°C with 20°C hysteresis, and short-circuit protection limiting output to 1.4A typical. The exposed thermal pad on the 8-pin Power-µMAX package enables 1.3W dissipation at +70°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Preset 0.8V ±1% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable core voltage for sub-1V digital logic without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA RMS - supports high-current microcontroller cores or FPGA I/O banks in compact portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175mV at 500mA - extends usable battery life down to VIN = 0.975V for single-cell Li-ion or NiMH systems. |
| Ground Current | 210µA at 1mA load - minimizes quiescent power loss critical for always-on subsystems and battery-backed circuits. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.02µA - enables multi-year shelf life in energy-harvesting or remote sensor nodes. |
| POK Threshold | 93% of nominal VOUT - provides precise early-warning flag for microcontrollers before brownout resets occur. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +170°C with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload while allowing pulsed recovery. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1806EUA08-TG075 is housed in an 8-pin Power-µMAX package with exposed metal thermal pad on the underside, rated for 1.3W continuous dissipation at +70°C ambient. The package requires soldering of both GND pin (5) and the exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 IN | Input supply connection | Accepts +2.25V to +5.5V; dual pins must be externally tied to reduce trace inductance and improve transient response. |
| 3 POK | Open-drain power-good indicator | Active-low signal pulled low when VOUT < 93% of 0.8V; requires 100kΩ pullup to OUT for logic-level output. |
| 4 SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Drives device into 0.02µA sleep mode; tolerates up to +6V regardless of VIN/VOUT - simplifies level-shifting interface. |
| 5 GND | Power and signal ground | Shared ground return path; exposed thermal pad is electrically connected to this pin and must be soldered to PCB ground. |
| 6 SET | Voltage-setting input | Internally biased to 0.8V reference; grounded to enable preset 0.8V mode - no external resistors required. |
| 7, 8 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 500mA; dual pins must be externally tied to reduce current density and improve thermal spreading. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ preset operation | 0.8V output achieved by grounding SET pin - eliminates external resistor network and associated layout sensitivity. |
| PMOS pass transistor | 0.4Ω RDS(ON) enables low dropout and zero base-drive current - reduces ground current vs. PNP-based regulators by >5×. |
| Thermal protection with hysteresis | +170°C trip with 20°C cooldown gap - allows safe pulsed operation during fault conditions without latch-up or manual reset. |
| Low-noise output | 300µVRMS (10Hz–1MHz) with 10µF ceramic output capacitor - meets noise-sensitive analog supply requirements without added filtering. |
| Stable with low-ESR capacitors | Supports ceramic COUT down to 0.1Ω ESR - enables use of compact, high-reliability MLCCs instead of bulkier tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
Applications
| Mobile Baseband Processor Core Supply | USB Peripheral Low-Voltage Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A0508PDBVR | 0.8V fixed, 200mA output, 170mV dropout at 200mA, 25µA IQ - lower current, smaller 5-pin SOT-23 package. | Suitable for <200mA logic rails only; lacks POK and thermal hysteresis - not recommended for high-reliability or fault-tolerant systems. | Select only if board space is constrained and load current never exceeds 200mA; verify POK absence does not impact system sequencing. |
| NCP1117ST08T3G | 0.8V fixed, 800mA output, 1.2V dropout at 800mA, 6mA IQ - higher dropout, much higher quiescent current, TO-220/SOT-223 package. | Requires larger PCB area and heatsinking; unsuitable for battery-powered or thermally isolated applications due to IQ and thermal limits. | Consider only for cost-sensitive industrial mains-powered designs where 6mA ground current and 1.2V dropout are acceptable. |
Compared with TPS7A0508PDBVR and NCP1117ST08T3G, MAX1806EUA08-TG075 uniquely balances 500mA capability, 0.02µA shutdown, 175mV dropout, and integrated POK in a thermally optimized 3mm × 3mm µMAX package - making it the only option meeting all four criteria simultaneously for portable 0.8V core supplies.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of MAX1806EUA08-TG075 across temperature and load?
The MAX1806EUA08-TG075 guarantees ±1% output voltage accuracy over -40°C to +85°C and 1mA to 500mA load current when VIN > VOUT + 0.5V. At +85°C and 100mA load, the tolerance tightens to ±0.2% (790mV to 810mV), and worst-case across full conditions remains ±3% (774mV to 826mV) per datasheet Table 1. This applies directly to MAX1806EUA08-TG075 in preset mode with SET grounded.
Does MAX1806EUA08-TG075 require external resistors to set its 0.8V output?
No. MAX1806EUA08-TG075 is factory-trimmed for 0.8V output in preset mode. Connecting the SET pin to GND activates internal feedback, eliminating need for external resistors. The "08" suffix in MAX1806EUA08-TG075 explicitly denotes this 0.8V preset variant - confirmed in Maxim's Selector Guide and Pin Description section. External resistors are only required for adjustable configurations.
How does the POK output of MAX1806EUA08-TG075 behave during shutdown?
During shutdown (SHDN = GND), the POK output of MAX1806EUA08-TG075 is actively driven low regardless of VOUT level - this is explicitly stated in the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections. It remains low until SHDN returns high and VOUT rises above 93% of 0.8V (i.e., >744mV), at which point POK transitions to high-impedance state. This behavior is intrinsic to MAX1806EUA08-TG075's internal shutdown logic.
What thermal derating applies to MAX1806EUA08-TG075 above +70°C ambient?
MAX1806EUA08-TG075 has a continuous power dissipation limit of 1.3W at +70°C ambient, with linear derating of 17mW/°C above that temperature. At +85°C ambient, maximum allowable dissipation drops to 1.045W. This derating is enabled by the exposed thermal pad on the Power-µMAX package - proper soldering of both pin 5 (GND) and the underside pad to PCB ground is mandatory to achieve these ratings for MAX1806EUA08-TG075.
Can MAX1806EUA08-TG075 operate with input voltage below 2.25V?
No. The Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables specify +2.25V minimum input voltage for MAX1806EUA08-TG075. Input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates below 1.85V (rising threshold), preventing regulation. Operation below 2.25V violates datasheet specifications and risks unstable output or failure to regulate - this limit is binding for MAX1806EUA08-TG075 and cannot be extended by design.
