Product details
Overview
MAX1976EZT285 from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with integrated active-low reset output, designed for battery-powered portable systems. It delivers 300mA continuous output current with ±0.5% output voltage accuracy, 100mV dropout at full load, and operates from 1.62V to 3.6V input - enabling use in 1-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline applications such as notebook computers and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1976EZT285 datasheet, MAX1976EZT285 pinout, MAX1976EZT285 application, or MAX1976EZT285 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 70ms reset delay, SOT23-6 package footprint, 2.85V preset output, thermal-overload protection, and logic-controlled shutdown with sub-1µA off-state current.
Technical Context
The MAX1976EZT285 uses an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor (RDS(ON) = 0.33Ω) to achieve low dropout and supply-current independence from load or dropout voltage. Its error amplifier compares a trimmed bandgap reference against feedback from a fixed internal divider, delivering stable 2.85V output without external resistors.
Reset functionality is implemented via a dedicated comparator monitoring VOUT, asserting active-low RESET when output falls below 82.5% of nominal (2.35V) and holding it asserted for ≥70ms after regulation is achieved. Shutdown control is TTL/CMOS-compatible with <1nA bias current and 90µs turn-on delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Preset 2.85V ±0.5% - eliminates need for external feedback resistors and ensures tight regulation across load/line/temp. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports core logic rails or high-efficiency analog subsystems in space-constrained designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 300mA - enables operation down to ~2.75V input with 2.85V output, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Reset Delay | 70ms (min) - provides reliable power-good timing for microcontrollers requiring extended stabilization before boot. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA typical at full load - maintains ultra-low system standby power without sacrificing transient response. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.62V to 3.6V - compatible with 1-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), NiMH, or regulated 3.3V/2.5V supplies. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.001µA at +25°C - reduces system leakage to negligible levels during deep sleep modes. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1976EZT285 is housed in a 6-pin thin SOT23-6 package (package code Z6-1), height <1.1mm, footprint 2.9mm × 1.6mm. The exposed pad is absent - GND connections are made only through pins 2 and 5.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator Input | Accepts 1.62V–3.6V supply; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return path; soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown Control | Logic-low (<0.6V) disables regulator and pulls RESET low; <1nA input bias enables direct MCU GPIO drive. |
| 4 (RESET) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Asserts low until VOUT reaches regulation, then holds low for ≥70ms before releasing - compatible with standard µP reset inputs. |
| 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 2.85V; requires ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for transient stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Preset 2.85V Output | Factory-trimmed internal feedback eliminates external resistor network, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| 70ms Reset Timeout | Guaranteed minimum assertion time ensures robust microprocessor initialization even under slow-ramping input conditions. |
| Thermal & Short-Circuit Protection | Auto-recovering shutdown at +165°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis prevents permanent damage during fault events. |
| Logic-Controlled Shutdown | Sub-1µA quiescent current in shutdown mode enables long-term battery retention in always-on IoT edge nodes. |
| Low-Noise Operation | 86µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) supports noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADC references or RF bias rails. |
Applications
| Notebook Computers | Digital Cameras |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator with reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1963EZT285 | 2.2ms reset delay vs. 70ms; otherwise identical pinout, specs, and package. | Suitable for fast-boot MCUs requiring minimal reset hold time; not interchangeable where 70ms timing is mandated. | Select MAX1963EZT285 only if system boot sequence tolerates shorter reset assertion. |
| Torex XC6219B285MR-G | 200mA max output, no integrated reset output; requires external reset IC for supervision. | Lacks built-in reset function - increases component count and board area; suitable only where reset is handled elsewhere. | Choose only if 300mA capability is unnecessary and external reset generation is already present in design. |
Compared with MAX1963EZT285, the MAX1976EZT285 provides longer reset timing critical for complex processors, while the XC6219B285MR-G trades integration for lower cost in simpler systems - making MAX1976EZT285 optimal for space- and timing-constrained portable designs requiring guaranteed 70ms power-good assertion.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage of the MAX1976EZT285?
The MAX1976EZT285 features a factory-preset output voltage of 2.85V with ±0.5% accuracy over load, line, and temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This value is trimmed internally and requires no external resistors - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Selector Guide of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX1976EZT285 require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes, the MAX1976EZT285 requires a 1µF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND, and a 4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor between OUT and GND. These values ensure stability, transient response, and noise suppression across –40°C to +85°C - specified in the Applications Information section of the MAX1976 datasheet.
What is the reset timeout duration for the MAX1976EZT285, and how is it triggered?
The MAX1976EZT285 asserts its open-drain RESET output low until VOUT reaches regulation, then holds it low for a guaranteed minimum of 70ms before releasing. RESET falls immediately if VOUT drops below 82.5% of 2.85V (i.e., 2.35V) or during SHDN activation - detailed in the RESET OUTPUT section of the datasheet.
Can the MAX1976EZT285 be used with a 1.8V input supply to deliver 2.85V?
No - the MAX1976EZT285 cannot regulate 2.85V from a 1.8V input because the minimum input voltage must exceed the output voltage by the dropout voltage (≥100mV at 300mA). A 1.8V input is insufficient; minimum valid input is ~2.95V for 2.85V output - per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Dropout Voltage specifications.
Is the MAX1976EZT285 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MAX1976EZT285 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. Per Maxim's ordering information, part numbers ending in "+" (e.g., MAX1976EZT285+) denote lead-free variants; the base part MAX1976EZT285 is also manufactured to RoHS standards as confirmed in Materials Analysis documentation on maxim-ic.com.
