Product details
Overview
MAX38913AATD+T 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 across -40°C to +125°C, supports 1.8V–5.5V input and 0.6V–5.0V output ranges, and features fast 6Ω active discharge. It is used in high-sensitivity image sensor power rails where noise and transient response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX38913AATD+T datasheet, MAX38913AATD+T pinout, MAX38913AATD+T application, or MAX38913AATD+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low output noise (4µVRMS), dual-mode voltage scaling (MODE1/MODE2), pass-through bypass capability, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and compatibility with 4µF minimum output capacitance.
Technical Context
The MAX38913AATD+T implements a dual-rail LDO architecture with independent RSEL1/RSEL2 resistor-programmable voltage settings for MODE1 and MODE2, enabling dynamic voltage scaling without external controllers. Its feedback loop incorporates BYP pin-controlled slew rate (50µA/CBYP) for controlled transitions between output levels.
It integrates three distinct operational modes-regulation (MODE1/MODE2), pass-through (IN→OUT short), and shutdown (6Ω active discharge)-all selected via EN1/EN2 logic states. The TDFN package variant includes dedicated open-drain POK and PORB pins for system sequencing, while maintaining 75dB PSRR at 10kHz and 28mV dropout at 1A/5.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Noise | 4µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz): Enables clean power for CMOS image sensors and precision ADCs without added filtering. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous: Supports high-current digital imaging subsystems including ISP cores and analog front-ends. |
| Dropout Voltage | 28mV at 1A/5.0V input: Minimizes power loss and heat generation in battery-powered portable sensors. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% over line/load/temperature: Ensures stable reference voltage for analog signal chains under varying conditions. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 10kHz: Rejects switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters in mixed-signal SoC power domains. |
| Active Discharge | 6Ω resistance: Rapidly discharges up to 300µF output capacitance during shutdown, preventing hold-up voltage issues. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C junction: Qualified for automotive camera modules and industrial vision systems. |
Pinout & Package
MAX38913AATD+T is packaged in a 3mm × 3mm, 14-pin TDFN (Package Code: T1433+2C) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices' official pin configuration diagram (Rev 3, p.10).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 1,14) | Input supply connection | Dual-pin layout reduces IR drop and improves current handling for 1A load; requires ≥4µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| OUT (Pins 3,7) | Regulated output node | Dual-output pins lower impedance path to load; supports up to 10µF recommended output capacitance. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary ground return for regulation loop; must be connected to exposed pad for optimal thermal performance. |
| EN1 / EN2 (Pins 10,11) | Mode control inputs | Logic-selectable states: 01=MODE1, 11=MODE2, 10=pass-through, 00=shutdown with active discharge. |
| RSEL1 / RSEL2 (Pins 8,9) | Voltage select inputs | Resistor-to-GND sets MODE1/MODE2 output (MAX38913-specific); left floating for MAX38914 preprogrammed variants. |
| POK / PORB (Pins 6,5) | Status outputs | Open-drain signals for power sequencing: POK asserts when VOUT ≥91% of target; PORB holds reset for 10ms post-regulation. |
| BYP (Pin 4) | Slew rate control node | Connects to OUT via 10nF–100nF capacitor; determines dV/dt during voltage transitions (50µA/CBYP). |
| OUTS (Pin 12) | Remote sense input | Enables Kelvin sensing for improved load regulation in high-current PCB traces with voltage drop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-level dynamic voltage scaling | Independent MODE1/MODE2 regulation with 33 programmable output options each (via RSEL1/RSEL2 resistors). |
| Pass-through mode | IN-to-OUT direct conduction with 0.06Ω RON, reducing quiescent current to 115µA while retaining 2A current limit. |
| Ultra-low noise regulation | 4µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) achieved via internal BYP-filtered reference and low-noise error amplifier. |
| Fast active discharge | 6Ω on-chip discharge path pulls OUT to GND in shutdown, clearing 100µF in <17ms (t = R×C ≈ 6Ω × 100µF). |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (165°C trip), overcurrent limiting (1.4A typ), reverse-current blocking, and UVLO (1.75V rising). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-noise dual-mode LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A9400RGRT | 4µVRMS noise, 1A, but single-output voltage (no MODE1/MODE2); no pass-through mode; only 2.5V–5.5V input. | Lacks dynamic voltage scaling and bypass functionality - suitable only for fixed-voltage, noise-sensitive loads. | Select when dual-voltage operation is unnecessary and board space favors 3mm × 3mm QFN over TDFN. |
| ADP1765ACPZ-3.3-R7 | 2.5µVRMS noise, 1.2A, but no programmable modes, no POK/PORB, no active discharge; 1.6V–3.6V input only. | Optimized for ultra-low-noise analog circuits only - cannot support voltage-scaling or system sequencing requirements. | Choose only for legacy designs requiring sub-4µVRMS noise at 3.3V fixed output with minimal feature set. |
Compared with TPS7A9400RGRT and ADP1765ACPZ-3.3-R7, the MAX38913AATD+T uniquely combines ultra-low noise, dual-mode voltage selection, pass-through bypass, and integrated sequencing signals - making it the sole option for applications requiring coordinated power-state transitions in compact, thermally constrained imaging systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output capacitance supported by MAX38913AATD+T?
The MAX38913AATD+T has no maximum output capacitance limit for stability - it remains stable with up to 300µF output capacitors, as verified in the datasheet's active discharge specification. Larger values are permissible if thermal and inrush constraints allow, though 10µF is the recommended nominal value for optimal transient response and noise performance.
Does MAX38913AATD+T support remote sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX38913AATD+T supports remote sensing via the OUTS pin (Pin 12). Connecting OUTS directly to the load side of the output trace enables the regulator to compensate for IR drop across PCB traces or connectors, maintaining ±1% accuracy at the point of load. This is essential for high-current or long-trace applications like industrial camera modules.
How does the BYP pin affect output voltage transitions in MAX38913AATD+T?
The BYP pin (Pin 4) sets the slew rate during output voltage transitions using the formula dV/dt = 50µA / CBYP. With a 47nF capacitor, the slew rate is ~1.06V/ms - controlling inrush current and preventing overshoot during MODE1↔MODE2 or regulation↔pass-through transitions. This avoids tripping current limits during large COUT charging.
Can MAX38913AATD+T operate without the POK and PORB pins connected?
Yes, MAX38913AATD+T operates fully in regulation, pass-through, and shutdown modes without connecting POK (Pin 6) or PORB (Pin 5). These pins are optional status outputs for system sequencing; leaving them unconnected (with no pullup) disables their function but does not impair core LDO operation or protection features.
What is the quiescent current of MAX38913AATD+T in pass-through mode?
In pass-through mode (EN2=HIGH, EN1=LOW), MAX38913AATD+T draws 115µA typical quiescent current - significantly lower than its 1.37mA regulation-mode IQ. This low IQ enables extended battery life in always-on sensor nodes while maintaining IN→OUT conduction and 2A current-limit protection.
