Product details
Overview
MAX1983EUT from Maxim Integrated is an adjustable-output, low-dropout linear regulator with external 5V bias supply, delivering 0.8V–2.0V at up to 300mA from a 1.25V–5.5V input. It features ±3% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, 175mV dropout at 150mA, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It serves as a precision VID supply in portable computing power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1983EUT datasheet, MAX1983EUT pinout, MAX1983EUT application, or MAX1983EUT equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable output range (0.8V–2.0V), external BIAS-driven N-channel pass transistor architecture, 1ms PGOOD propagation delay (via MAX1982 reference compatibility), SOT23-6 package constraints, and thermal/current protection behavior under load transients.
Technical Context
The MAX1983EUT uses an external 4.5V–5.5V BIAS supply to drive the gate of an internal N-channel pass transistor, decoupling control circuitry power from the main input (IN). This enables regulation from ultra-low VIN (as low as 1.25V) while maintaining high efficiency and low dropout.
Its ADJ pin accepts a resistor divider between OUT and GND to set output voltage within 0.8V–2.0V; the internal 0.8V reference and error amplifier enforce regulation. Shutdown is controlled via SHDN, reducing total supply current to ≤5µA, and thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 2.0V - Adjustable via external resistor divider on ADJ pin; supports dynamic VID scaling in CPU core supplies. |
| Output Accuracy | ±3% over –40°C to +85°C - Ensures stable core voltage under temperature and load variation for reliable microprocessor operation. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175mV at 150mA - Enables usable operation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.175V, extending battery life in low-voltage portable systems. |
| Input Voltage Range (IN) | 1.25V to 5.5V - Supports direct connection to partially discharged Li-ion cells or intermediate DC-DC outputs. |
| BIAS Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - Requires dedicated 5V rail (e.g., system standby or USB VBUS); not derived from IN. |
| Quiescent BIAS Current | 250µA max - Minimizes loading on the 5V bias rail during active regulation, critical for shared-system power budgets. |
| Shutdown Current | 5µA max total (IN + BIAS) - Enables deep-sleep mode in handheld devices without compromising wake-up latency. |
| RMS Output Noise | 65µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - Low enough for noise-sensitive analog or RF subsystems powered from same rail. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1983EUT is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (top mark ABEB or ABEB+), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and exposed pad for thermal relief (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BIAS | Bias supply input | Powers internal control circuitry and gate driver; must be 4.5V–5.5V; bypass with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, BIAS, and ADJ; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Drives low to disable regulator; pulls high to BIAS for normal operation; draws ≤±1µA. |
| 4 - ADJ | Feedback input for output voltage setting | Connects to resistor divider midpoint between OUT and GND; senses 0.8V reference to regulate VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers up to 300mA; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor (ESR ≤35mΩ) to ground for stability and transient response. |
| 6 - IN | Main power input to pass transistor drain | Accepts 1.25V–5.5V input; bypass with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor; carries full load current and must use wide copper traces. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output (0.8V–2.0V) | Enables single-part support across multiple core voltage requirements (e.g., 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.5V) without redesigning feedback network. |
| External 5V BIAS drive | Decouples gate drive from low VIN, enabling <1.3V input operation while maintaining fast transient response and low dropout. |
| No minimum load requirement | Permits zero-load operation in standby states without instability or regulation loss-critical for always-on subsystems. |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Protects against sustained overload by disabling pass transistor above +160°C; resumes after 20°C cooldown, preventing latch-up. |
| Low 250µA BIAS quiescent current | Reduces parasitic draw on shared 5V bias rail, preserving margin for other peripherals in compact portable designs. |
| 10µs PGOOD fault response | Ensures rapid system-level fault detection when output drops >120mV (10% of 1.2V nominal), supporting safe processor reset sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS7A1633DGNR | Fixed 3.3V output; no ADJ pin; 200mA max; 1.7V–5.5V IN; no external BIAS requirement | Suitable only for fixed-voltage rails; lacks VID flexibility and ultra-low-VIN capability | Select when output voltage is static and system lacks dedicated 5V bias rail. |
| Analog Devices ADM7172ACPZ-R7 | Fixed or adjustable (via resistor) output; 200mA; 2.3V–6.5V IN; no external BIAS; 75µV RMS noise | Higher minimum input (2.3V) prevents use below 2.3V; lower noise but no BIAS-driven dropout advantage | Select when lowest possible noise is prioritized and input stays >2.3V; avoid if VIN may dip below 1.8V. |
Compared with MAX1983EUT, TPS7A1633DGNR eliminates BIAS dependency but sacrifices adjustability and sub-1.3V operation, while ADM7172ACPZ-R7 offers superior noise performance yet cannot match the MAX1983EUT's 1.25V input capability or 175mV dropout at 150mA-making MAX1983EUT uniquely suited for ultra-low-input, VID-programmable applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX1983EUT to regulate a 0.8V output?
The MAX1983EUT requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.175V (dropout) under 150mA load, so for 0.8V output, minimum VIN is 0.975V. However, datasheet specifies absolute minimum VIN = 1.25V across all conditions-including startup, line regulation, and thermal margin-so 1.25V is the guaranteed operational floor for MAX1983EUT regardless of load or temperature.
Can MAX1983EUT be used without the external 5V BIAS supply?
No. The MAX1983EUT requires a 4.5V–5.5V BIAS supply on Pin 1 to power its internal control circuitry and drive the N-channel pass transistor gate. Operation without BIAS is undefined and will result in no regulation or potential damage; the device does not derive bias internally from IN or OUT.
How do I calculate the resistor values for the ADJ feedback network on MAX1983EUT?
Use VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). Set R2 = 40kΩ (recommended per datasheet), then solve R1 = R2 × (VOUT/0.8V − 1). For example, for 1.2V output: R1 = 40kΩ × (1.2/0.8 − 1) = 20kΩ. Ensure both resistors are 1% tolerance metal film for ±3% overall accuracy in MAX1983EUT output.
Does MAX1983EUT include power-good monitoring like MAX1982EUT?
No. MAX1983EUT omits the PGOOD pin (Pin 4 is ADJ, not PGOOD). Only MAX1982EUT provides open-drain PGOOD with 1ms rise time. MAX1983EUT relies on external supervision or system-level monitoring; no internal voltage-valid flag is generated or exported.
What is the maximum continuous output current for MAX1983EUT at 1.2V output and 2.5V input?
At VIN = 2.5V and VOUT = 1.2V, the input-output differential is 1.3V. Per the Short-Circuit Current Limit vs. Input Voltage graph (toc09), MAX1983EUT delivers ~600mA typical short-circuit current at this ΔV. However, continuous current is thermally limited: at TA = +70°C, max power dissipation is 696mW, so IOUT ≤ 696mW / 1.3V ≈ 535mA-but derating and layout-dependent thermal resistance reduce practical continuous current to ≤300mA as specified.
