Product details
Overview
MAX1963AEZT180+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator with preset 1.8V output, delivering guaranteed 300mA continuous current from a 1.62V–3.6V input supply and featuring 100mV dropout at full load, ±0.5% output accuracy, and active-low open-drain RESET with 2.2ms delay-designed for power management in portable battery-powered systems such as handheld computers and smart phones.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1963AEZT180+T datasheet, MAX1963AEZT180+T pinout, MAX1963AEZT180+T application, or MAX1963AEZT180+T equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (1.62V–3.6V), guaranteed 300mA output capability, 1.8V fixed output with ±0.5% accuracy, thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with 1µF input / 4.7µF output ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The MAX1963AEZT180+T employs an internal p-channel MOSFET pass transistor (RDS(ON) = 0.33Ω) enabling supply current independence from load and dropout voltage, with quiescent current of 90µA typical under full load. Its error amplifier compares a precision reference against internal feedback to regulate output voltage.
RESET functionality monitors VOUT with 82.5% nominal threshold and 1.7% hysteresis, asserting low for ≥2.2ms after regulation is achieved; shutdown is logic-controlled via active-low SHDN pin, reducing supply current below 1µA while actively pulling OUT to GND through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V, trimmed to ±0.5% accuracy over temperature, line, and load ensures stable core voltage for low-power microcontrollers. |
| Max Output Current | Guaranteed 300mA continuous delivery supports SoC or FPGA I/O rail requirements without derating at +25°C. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 300mA load enables operation down to VIN = 1.9V, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.62V to 3.6V accommodates declining battery profiles and allows direct connection to partially discharged cells. |
| Ground Current | 90µA typical at 300mA load and independent of dropout preserves battery runtime in active mode. |
| RESET Delay | 2.2ms minimum assertion time after VOUT reaches regulation provides reliable µP reset timing for system initialization. |
| PSRR | 70dB at f < 1kHz suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies feeding the LDO input. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1963AEZT180+T is housed in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 6-pin thin SOT23-6 package (1.6mm × 2.9mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator Input | Accepts 1.62V–3.6V supply; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and noise suppression. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference & Heatsink | Serves as primary return path and thermal conduction path; must be soldered to large PCB copper area. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown Control | Pulling low disables regulator, reduces IQ to <1µA, and forces OUT low via internal 1.5kΩ resistor. |
| 4 (RESET) | Open-Drain Reset Flag | Asserts low when VOUT < 82.5% of 1.8V; rises after ≥2.2ms once regulation is confirmed. |
| 5 (I.C.) | Internally Connected | No external connection required; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers up to 300mA at 1.8V; requires ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for transient response and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| pMOS Pass Transistor | 0.33Ω RDS(ON) enables low dropout and eliminates base-drive current, maintaining 90µA IQ across load and dropout conditions. |
| Logic-Controlled Shutdown | Active-low SHDN pin allows precise system-level power sequencing and ultra-low standby current (<1µA). |
| Thermal & Short-Circuit Protection | Auto-recovering thermal shutdown at +165°C with 15°C hysteresis prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Reset Output with Precision Threshold | 82.5% VOUT detection with 1.7% hysteresis ensures robust brownout immunity and clean µP reset signaling. |
| Low-Noise Operation | 86µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) and 70dB PSRR support noise-sensitive analog or RF subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS73118DBVR | 1.8V fixed output, 300mA, 150mV dropout at 300mA, 1.7V min VIN, no integrated RESET. | Lacks RESET output; requires external supervisor for power-on reset functionality. | Select when RESET is handled separately and lower cost is prioritized over integrated supervision. |
| MCP1700T-1802E/TT | 1.8V fixed output, 250mA, 178mV dropout at 250mA, 2.7V min VIN, no RESET. | Lower current rating and higher minimum input voltage limit use in single-cell Li-ion systems near end-of-discharge. | Select for cost-sensitive, lower-current applications where RESET is not required and input stays above 2.7V. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the MAX1963AEZT180+T?
The MAX1963AEZT180+T has a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 1.8V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±0.5% over load, line, and temperature (−40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed by the "180" suffix in the part number and verified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX1963AEZT180+T include a reset output, and what is its timing behavior?
Yes, the MAX1963AEZT180+T features an active-low, open-drain RESET output that remains asserted for at least 2.2ms after VOUT reaches regulation. It deasserts when VOUT exceeds 82.5% of 1.8V and reasserts immediately if VOUT falls below that threshold-ensuring robust power-on and brownout detection for microprocessors.
What package type does the MAX1963AEZT180+T use, and what are its dimensions?
The MAX1963AEZT180+T uses a 6-pin thin SOT23-6 package (package code Z6+1), measuring 1.6mm × 2.9mm × 1.1mm. It is lead-free and RoHS-compliant, with pin 2 serving as both ground reference and thermal heatsink-requiring connection to a large PCB copper area for optimal thermal performance.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MAX1963AEZT180+T to regulate properly?
The MAX1963AEZT180+T operates with a minimum input voltage of 1.62V, enabling regulation even with deeply discharged single-cell lithium batteries. Its undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates below ~1.45V (typical), preventing unstable operation during startup or brownout conditions.
How does the MAX1963AEZT180+T handle thermal overload or short-circuit conditions?
The MAX1963AEZT180+T incorporates thermal-overload protection that disables the pass transistor when junction temperature exceeds +165°C, then re-enables it after cooling by 15°C-resulting in pulsed output during sustained fault conditions. It also includes current limiting (450mA min) and short-circuit protection to safeguard both the IC and downstream circuitry.
