Product details
Overview
MAX38913AATD+ from Analog Devices is a 4µVRMS ultra-low-noise, 1A low-dropout linear regulator with dynamic two-level output voltage selection and integrated pass-through mode. It delivers ±1% output accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, supports 1.8V–5.5V input and 0.6V–5.0V output ranges, and features 6Ω active discharge for fast output capacitor discharge-ideal for image sensor power sequencing in high-resolution camera modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX38913AATD+ datasheet, MAX38913AATD+ pinout, MAX38913AATD+ application, or MAX38913AATD+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-mode regulation (MODE1/MODE2), 4µVRMS noise performance (10Hz–100kHz), 75dB PSRR at 10kHz, pass-through mode quiescent current of 115µA, and TDFN-14 package with POK/PORB status outputs.
Technical Context
The MAX38913AATD+ implements a precision bandgap reference with adaptive feedback loop compensation, enabling stable regulation across 4µF–300µF output capacitance. Its dual RSEL-based voltage selection (MODE1/MODE2) uses internal resistor ladder decoding with ±1% RSEL detection accuracy, and slew rate control is governed by external BYP capacitor (10nF–100nF) sourcing 50µA bias current.
Operating modes-regulation (MODE1/MODE2), pass-through (IN→OUT short), and shutdown (6Ω active discharge)-are controlled exclusively by EN2/EN1 logic states. In pass-through mode, the device maintains 2A current limit and thermal shutdown at +165°C, while retaining open-drain POK and PORB outputs for system-level power sequencing.

Pinout & Package
MAX38913AATD+ is packaged in a 3mm × 3mm, 14-pin TDFN with exposed thermal pad (Package Code: T1433+2C). This full-featured variant includes dedicated POK and PORB pins not present in the WLP version.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 1,14) | Input supply connection | Dual IN pins reduce trace inductance and improve high-frequency PSRR; requires ≥4µF ceramic cap with ESR <0.03Ω |
| OUT (Pins 2,13) | Regulated output node | Delivers up to 1A; connects to load and 10µF output capacitor; dual pins lower current density and thermal stress |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power ground reference | Common return for IN/OUT bypass caps; ties to exposed pad for optimal thermal conduction |
| OUTS (Pin 12) | Output voltage sense input | Enables remote sensing for improved load regulation; connects directly to critical load point to cancel PCB IR drop |
| BYP (Pin 4) | Bypass capacitor node | Sets output slew rate via 10nF–100nF cap; 50µA internal current source defines dV/dt = 50µA/CBYP |
| POK (Pin 5) | Power-OK open-drain output | Signals regulation achievement (91% VOUT) with 10kΩ–200kΩ pull-up; used for downstream power sequencing |
| PORB (Pin 6) | Power-on-reset open-drain output | Holds system reset for ≥10ms after regulation; complements POK for reliable boot in SD memory card controllers |
| EN1 (Pin 11), EN2 (Pin 10) | Mode-select enable inputs | Logic-controlled state machine: [00]=shutdown, [01]=MODE1, [11]=MODE2, [10]=pass-through; 2µs minimum stable time required |
| RSEL1 (Pin 9), RSEL2 (Pin 8) | Voltage select resistor inputs | Configure MODE1/MODE2 output voltages via ±1% resistors to GND; unused in MAX38914 but functional in MAX38913AATD+ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-level dynamic voltage scaling | Independent MODE1/MODE2 regulation with 33 programmable output settings per mode (via RSEL1/RSEL2) |
| Pass-through mode | IN-to-OUT direct connection with 60mΩ typical RON, reducing quiescent current to 115µA while maintaining 2A current limit |
| Ultra-low noise architecture | 4µVRMS output noise achieved via low-noise reference, optimized feedback path, and BYP-filtered error amplifier |
| Fast active discharge | 6Ω on-chip discharge path pulls OUT to GND in shutdown, enabling rapid power-down for SD card hot-swap compliance |
| Integrated sequencing support | Open-drain POK and PORB outputs with 10ms PORB delay provide deterministic power-up coordination for multi-rail systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, dual-voltage LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX38914AATD+ | Factory pre-programmed 2.0V/2.3V outputs; RSEL1/RSEL2 pins disabled and must float | No external resistor network needed; fixed dual-voltage configuration only | Select when application requires guaranteed 2.0V/2.3V pair without programmability |
| TPL7407LADGQR | 7-channel 200mA N-channel array; no pass-through mode, no POK/PORB, higher 15µVRMS noise | Designed for GPIO/peripheral driving, not precision analog supply | Use only for digital I/O translation where noise and sequencing are non-critical |
Compared with MAX38913AATD+, MAX38914AATD+ eliminates RSEL design complexity but sacrifices voltage flexibility, while TPL7407LADGQR lacks critical analog features-making MAX38913AATD+ the sole choice for noise-sensitive, dynamically scaled imaging power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum output capacitance supported by MAX38913AATD+?
MAX38913AATD+ has no upper limit on output capacitance for stability-it is characterized and guaranteed stable with 4µF to 300µF ceramic capacitors. Larger values (e.g., 100µF) are acceptable and enhance transient response, provided the effective capacitance remains ≥4µF at operating DC bias and temperature. The 6Ω active discharge circuit safely handles full discharge of up to 300µF.
How does the BYP pin control output slew rate in MAX38913AATD+?
The BYP pin in MAX38913AATD+ sources a precise 50µA current into an external capacitor (10nF–100nF) connected between BYP and OUT. This sets the output voltage slew rate as dV/dt = 50µA / CBYP. For example, a 47nF capacitor yields ~1.06V/ms slew rate-critical for controlling inrush current during startup or voltage transitions between MODE1 and MODE2.
Does MAX38913AATD+ support remote sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX38913AATD+ supports remote sensing via the OUTS pin (Pin 12). Connecting OUTS directly to the load's power input point compensates for PCB trace resistance, ensuring ±1% regulation accuracy at the load rather than at the IC's OUT pin. This is essential for high-current or long-trace applications like image sensor arrays where IR drop would otherwise degrade voltage accuracy.
What protection features are integrated into MAX38913AATD+?
MAX38913AATD+ integrates overcurrent limiting (1.4A typ), thermal shutdown (+165°C trip, +150°C recovery), reverse-current protection (via UVLO-triggered body diode disable), and undervoltage lockout (1.75V rising threshold). During overload, it cycles between regulation and shutdown to prevent damage-enabling robust operation in unregulated input environments such as automotive battery rails.
Can MAX38913AATD+ be used in place of MAX38914AATD+?
MAX38913AATD+ is not a drop-in replacement for MAX38914AATD+ because it requires external RSEL1/RSEL2 resistors to set output voltages, whereas MAX38914AATD+ has factory-programmed 2.0V/2.3V outputs and expects RSEL pins to float. Using MAX38913AATD+ in a MAX38914AATD+ design risks incorrect voltage programming unless resistor networks are added-and vice versa risks floating RSEL-induced instability.
