Product details
Overview
MAX1963EZT090+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) delivering 300mA continuous output current with ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100mV dropout at full load, and a fixed 0.90V output voltage. It operates from a 1.62V–3.6V input supply and integrates an active-low open-drain RESET output with 2.2ms delay, making it suitable for powering core logic rails in space-constrained portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1963EZT090+T datasheet, MAX1963EZT090+T pinout, MAX1963EZT090+T application, or MAX1963EZT090+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low input voltage capability, guaranteed dropout performance at 300mA, integrated reset timing, thermal shutdown behavior, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors down to 4.7µF.
Technical Context
The MAX1963EZT090+T uses an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor (RDS(ON) = 0.33Ω) to achieve load-independent quiescent current (90µA typ) and low dropout across temperature. Its error amplifier compares a trimmed bandgap reference against a fixed internal feedback divider to regulate the 0.90V output without external resistors.
RESET assertion is triggered when VOUT falls below 82.5% of nominal (0.7425V), and deasserts after a guaranteed 2.2ms delay once regulation is achieved. Shutdown is controlled via an active-low SHDN pin that reduces supply current to <1µA and actively pulls OUT to GND through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.90V ±0.5% (initial accuracy); no external feedback required |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous; current limit starts at 450mA min to prevent damage |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 300mA load (VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.5V); enables operation near battery end-of-life |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.62V to 3.6V; supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and multi-cell alkaline systems |
| RESET Delay | 2.2ms (min) after VOUT reaches regulation; ensures reliable microprocessor power-up sequencing |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA typical at 300mA load and in dropout; independent of load or VIN–VOUT differential |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +165°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during overload |
Pinout & Package
MAX1963EZT090+T is housed in a 6-pin thin SOT23 package (Z6-1 footprint, 2.9mm × 2.8mm × 1.1mm max height), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics. The exposed pad is absent - only standard SOT23 leads are present.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN | Regulator input; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND; accepts 1.62V–3.6V supply |
| 2 | GND | Power and signal ground; serves as primary thermal path in SOT23 package |
| 3 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; logic low (<0.6V) disables regulator and reduces IQ to <1µA |
| 4 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset flag; asserts when VOUT < 82.5% of 0.90V (0.7425V) |
| 5 | I.C. | Internally connected node; must be left floating or tied to GND (no external connection) |
| 6 | OUT | Regulated 0.90V output; sources up to 300mA; requires 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| P-channel MOSFET pass element | Eliminates base-drive current; enables 90µA quiescent current even at full 300mA load and in dropout |
| Integrated RESET with precision threshold | 82.5% VOUT detection (±2.5% threshold accuracy) and 2.2ms minimum delay ensure robust µP reset timing |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | SHDN pin pulls OUT to GND via 1.5kΩ resistor during shutdown, preventing floating rail issues |
| Thermal-overload protection | Auto-cycling shutdown at +165°C with 15°C hysteresis protects device under sustained overloads |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramics | Guaranteed stability with 4.7µF output capacitor and ESR ≤30mΩ; simplifies BOM and layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B092MR-G | 0.9V fixed output, 300mA, 150mV dropout at 300mA, no integrated RESET | Lacks active-low RESET output; requires external supervisor IC for power sequencing | Select when RESET functionality is handled elsewhere and lower cost is prioritized over integration |
| Analog Devices ADP125ARHZ-0.9-R7 | 0.9V fixed output, 500mA, 135mV dropout at 300mA, no RESET, higher IQ (120µA) | Higher current rating but no built-in reset; larger 6-lead SOT-23-6 footprint with different pinout | Select when future headroom beyond 300mA is needed and board layout allows rework for non-pin-compatible placement |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX1963EZT090+T over temperature and load?
The MAX1963EZT090+T guarantees ±0.5% output voltage accuracy over load (1mA–300mA), line (VIN = VOUT + 0.5V to +3.6V), and temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage Accuracy" with test conditions explicitly covering all three variables. The ±0.5% spec applies directly to the MAX1963EZT090+T, not the broader MAX1963 family.
Does the MAX1963EZT090+T require external feedback resistors to set its 0.90V output?
No - the MAX1963EZT090+T has a factory-trimmed internal feedback network that fixes the output at 0.90V. No external resistors are needed, simplifying design and improving accuracy by eliminating resistor tolerance and layout parasitics. This is confirmed in the "Detailed Description" section and Selector Guide, which lists "090" as the suffix for the 0.90V variant of MAX1963EZT090+T.
How does the RESET output behave during shutdown of the MAX1963EZT090+T?
When SHDN is pulled low, the MAX1963EZT090+T actively pulls the RESET pin low immediately - independent of output voltage level. This behavior is specified in the Pin Description: "RESET falls immediately if VOUT drops below 82.5% of its nominal voltage, or if the MAX1963/MAX1976 are shut down." Thus, RESET provides a synchronized shutdown signal alongside the regulated output disable.
Can the MAX1963EZT090+T operate from a 1.5V input supply?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for regulation is 1.62V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and General Description. At 1.5V input, the MAX1963EZT090+T will not regulate; its undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates below ~1.60V (typical 1.30V–1.60V range), disabling regulation and asserting RESET. Operation below 1.62V violates the specified operating condition.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MAX1963EZT090+T in its thin SOT23 package?
The datasheet does not publish θJA for the MAX1963EZT090+T's Z6-1 thin SOT23 package. Instead, it specifies power dissipation limits: 727mW at TA = +70°C with 9.1mW/°C derating above that. Thermal performance depends entirely on PCB copper area connected to pins 2 (GND) and 5 (I.C.), per the "Pin Description" guidance to solder GND to a large pad or ground plane. No θJA value is provided or implied for this variant.
