Product details
Overview
MAX1976AETT180+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator with preset 1.80V output, delivering guaranteed 300mA continuous current at ≤100mV dropout (at 300mA), ±0.5% output voltage accuracy over load/line/temp, and a 70ms active-low open-drain RESET flag. It operates from 1.62V to 3.6V input and targets power management in space-constrained portable systems such as handheld computers and smart phones.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1976AETT180+ datasheet, MAX1976AETT180+ pinout, MAX1976AETT180+ application, or MAX1976AETT180+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.80V fixed output, 70ms reset delay, TDFN-6 (3mm × 3mm) package, thermal shutdown at +165°C, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors for stable 300mA delivery under battery-voltage droop.
Technical Context
The MAX1976AETT180+ integrates a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor (RDS(ON) = 0.33Ω) enabling supply current independence from load and dropout voltage. Its internal error amplifier compares a trimmed reference against feedback to regulate output, while a dedicated power-good comparator drives the open-drain RESET output.
RESET assertion occurs when VOUT falls below 82.5% of nominal (±2.5% threshold accuracy) and remains asserted ≥70ms after VOUT recovers; shutdown reduces quiescent current to <1µA and actively pulls RESET low. Thermal protection disables the pass transistor above +165°C with 15°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.80V - eliminates external resistor divider, ensures precise core logic rail for 1.8V I/O or processor domains. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports moderate-power subsystems like baseband processors or display drivers without derating at +70°C. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 300mA - enables operation down to VIN = 1.90V, extending usable life of single-cell Li-ion batteries. |
| Output Accuracy | ±0.5% at TA = +25°C - meets tight tolerance requirements for memory I/O and digital logic supply rails. |
| RESET Delay | 70ms (min) - provides sufficient hold-off time for microprocessor initialization sequences after power-up or brownout recovery. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA typical at 300mA load - maintains ultra-low standby power in always-on system blocks. |
| PSRR | 70dB @ f < 1kHz - suppresses low-frequency noise from switching converters feeding the LDO input. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1976AETT180+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin TDFN package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height) with exposed paddle (EP) for thermal dissipation. The EP must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve rated 1904.8mW power dissipation at +70°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.62V–3.6V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND close to pin for stability and transient response. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference and thermal path | Primary ground return; connects internally to EP for heatsinking-must be tied to large copper area. |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pull low to disable regulator (IQ < 1µA); high-impedance input with 1.4V VIH threshold ensures compatibility with 1.8V logic. |
| 4 - RESET | Open-drain reset flag output | Asserts low during power-up/brownout; releases 70ms after VOUT reaches regulation; requires external pull-up. |
| 5 - I.C. | Internally connected node | No functional connection; leave unconnected or tie to GND-no impact on regulation or RESET timing. |
| 6 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.80V at up to 300mA; requires 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| pMOS Pass Transistor | RDS(ON) = 0.33Ω enables 100mV dropout at full 300mA load while maintaining 90µA quiescent current independent of load or dropout. |
| 70ms RESET Timing | Deterministic delay ensures reliable µP reset assertion during slow-rising or noisy supply conditions-distinct from MAX1963A's 2.2ms version. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +165°C trip with 15°C hysteresis prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking; enables pulsed safe-mode operation. |
| Low-ESR Stability | Stable with 4.7µF ceramic output capacitor (ESR ≤30mΩ), eliminating need for tantalum or electrolytic caps and reducing board area. |
| Logic-Controlled Shutdown | SHDN input draws only 1nA bias current and supports direct interface to 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Applications
| Smartphone Baseband Power | Portable Media Player Core Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1976AETT150+ | Fixed 1.50V output; identical package, pinout, and 70ms RESET timing. | Targets 1.5V logic domains (e.g., DDR2 SDRAM I/O) instead of 1.8V systems. | Select when system requires 1.5V rail-no layout change needed, but verify voltage compatibility with load ICs. |
| Torex XC6219B182MR-G | 1.8V output, 300mA, 150mV dropout (typ), 200ms RESET delay, SOT-25 package. | Larger dropout and longer reset delay; lacks thermal shutdown hysteresis specification. | Use where cost sensitivity outweighs precision timing and thermal robustness; requires PCB redesign due to different pinout and package. |
Compared with MAX1976AETT180+, the MAX1976AETT150+ offers identical functionality at 1.5V with zero layout impact, while the XC6219B182MR-G trades tighter voltage accuracy and faster thermal response for lower unit cost and broader availability-but demands board revision and revalidation of reset timing margins.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX1976AETT180+ over temperature and load?
The MAX1976AETT180+ guarantees ±0.5% output voltage accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over full -40°C to +85°C temperature range, 1mA to 300mA load, and 1.62V to 3.6V input. This includes line, load, and temperature effects-verified per Maxim's production test limits and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the MAX1976AETT180+ require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX1976AETT180+ features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to 3.3V or VCC) to generate a valid logic-high level. Without it, RESET remains floating and cannot signal proper power-good status to downstream logic or microcontrollers.
Can the MAX1976AETT180+ operate with a 1.65V input supply?
Yes-the MAX1976AETT180+ supports input voltages as low as 1.62V. At 1.65V input and 1.80V output, it operates in dropout mode (VIN < VOUT + dropout), delivering reduced but stable current. Ground current drops to 70µA in dropout, preserving battery life during deep discharge.
What thermal performance can be expected from the MAX1976AETT180+ in its TDFN-6 package?
In a standard multilayer PCB with EP soldered to a 200mm² ground plane, the MAX1976AETT180+ achieves 23.8mW/°C derating above +70°C, allowing 1904.8mW continuous dissipation at +70°C ambient. Junction temperature must stay ≤+150°C for reliability; thermal shutdown activates at +165°C with 15°C hysteresis.
Is the MAX1976AETT180+ pin-compatible with the MAX1963A series?
Yes-MAX1976AETT180+ shares identical pinout, package dimensions, and electrical interface with MAX1963A variants in the same TDFN-6 or SOT23-6 packages. The only functional difference is RESET delay (70ms vs. 2.2ms); all other timing, accuracy, and protection features are identical.
