Product details
Overview
MAX38914AANC+T from Analog Devices is a 1A ultra-low-noise LDO voltage regulator with factory-preprogrammed dual-output voltages (2.3V and 2.0V), 4µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz), ±1% output accuracy over line/load/temperature, and integrated pass-through mode for zero-drop bypass operation. It serves as a precision power supply for image sensors and portable sensor systems requiring dynamic voltage scaling without external programming resistors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX38914AANC+T datasheet, MAX38914AANC+T pinout, MAX38914AANC+T application, or MAX38914AANC+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, TDFN-14 package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in SD memory card power sequencing and low-noise imaging rails, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX38914AANC+T implements a dual-mode control architecture: regulation mode uses internal feedback to maintain precise 2.3V/2.0V outputs across 1.8V–5.5V input, while pass-through mode activates a low-RON (0.06Ω) switch to directly connect IN to OUT. Its 47nF BYP capacitor sets output slew rate at 5V/ms, enabling controlled voltage transitions between modes without overshoot.
It integrates active discharge (6Ω), overcurrent protection (1.4A typ), thermal shutdown (165°C), and open-drain POK/PORB status outputs-available only in the 3mm×3mm TDFN-14 package. The device achieves 75dB PSRR at 10kHz and maintains stability with ≥4µF ceramic output capacitance.

Pinout & Package
MAX38914AANC+T is packaged in a 3mm × 3mm, 14-pin TDFN with exposed thermal pad (Package Code: T1433+2C). This RoHS-compliant package supports high-power dissipation (θJA = 41°C/W on 4-layer board) and includes dedicated POK and PORB pins for system-level power sequencing.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 13, 14 | IN | Input supply rail (1.8V–5.5V); requires ≥4µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 3, 12 | OUT | Main regulated output (2.3V/2.0V); delivers up to 1A with ±1% accuracy. |
| 4 | POK | Open-drain Power-OK signal; asserts high after VOUT reaches 91% of target and remains valid during regulation. |
| 5 | PORB | Open-drain Power-on-Reset; holds downstream logic in reset for ≥10ms after VOUT stabilizes. |
| 6 | BYP | Bypass capacitor node (10nF–100nF to OUT); controls output slew rate and reduces reference noise. |
| 7 | OUTS | Output voltage sense point; connects to load for remote sensing to compensate trace IR drop. |
| 8, 11 | EN1, EN2 | Mode-select inputs: [01]=MODE1 (2.3V), [11]=MODE2 (2.0V), [10]=pass-through, [00]=shutdown. |
| 9, 10 | RSEL1, RSEL2 | No-connect (NC) for MAX38914; internally pre-programmed-must be left floating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual fixed-output voltage selection | Factory-set 2.3V and 2.0V outputs eliminate external resistor networks and layout complexity. |
| Pass-through mode | 0.06Ω ON-resistance bypass path reduces dropout to near-zero and cuts quiescent current to 115µA. |
| Active discharge | 6Ω internal pull-down rapidly discharges output capacitors (≤300µF) during shutdown for safe sequencing. |
| Low-noise regulation | 4.05µVRMS noise and 75dB PSRR at 10kHz enable direct powering of noise-sensitive analog front-ends. |
| Status signaling | Dedicated open-drain POK and PORB outputs simplify multi-rail power sequencing in compact PCBs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX38913AANC+T | Programmable RSEL1/RSEL2 inputs support 33 voltage combinations per mode; requires external 1% resistors. | Suitable when flexible voltage selection (0.6V–5.0V) is needed instead of fixed 2.3V/2.0V. | Select MAX38913AANC+T only if design requires field-configurable outputs; MAX38914AANC+T simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance errors. |
| TPL7407LADGQR | Single-output 500mA LDO with 15µVRMS noise; no pass-through mode or dual-voltage capability. | Limited to single-rail, lower-current applications; lacks POK/PORB and active discharge. | Choose TPL7407LADGQR only for cost-sensitive, single-voltage systems where noise <15µVRMS and 500mA load are sufficient. |
Compared with MAX38914AANC+T, MAX38913AANC+T trades fixed-voltage simplicity for programmability, while TPL7407LADGQR sacrifices dual-mode operation, noise performance, and system-level features (POK/PORB, active discharge) to reduce cost and footprint.

FAQ
What are the factory-programmed output voltages of the MAX38914AANC+T?
The MAX38914AANC+T has fixed output voltages of 2.3V in MODE 1 (EN2=LOW, EN1=HIGH) and 2.0V in MODE 2 (EN2=HIGH, EN1=HIGH). These values are laser-trimmed at wafer test and require no external components-RSEL1 and RSEL2 pins must remain unconnected.
Does the MAX38914AANC+T support pass-through mode, and what is its ON-resistance?
Yes, the MAX38914AANC+T supports pass-through mode when EN2=HIGH and EN1=LOW. In this state, the internal switch exhibits 0.06Ω typical ON-resistance, enabling near-zero dropout operation and reducing quiescent current to 115µA while maintaining current limiting at ~2A.
Can the MAX38914AANC+T be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 10µF?
Yes-the MAX38914AANC+T is stable with as little as 4µF effective output capacitance (e.g., a 10µF X7R MLCC derated at bias). However, using ≥10µF improves transient response and reduces output ripple, especially under 1A load steps.
What is the function of the BYP pin on the MAX38914AANC+T, and what capacitor value is recommended?
The BYP pin connects to a capacitor (10nF–100nF) between BYP and OUT to filter reference noise and control output slew rate. A 47nF capacitor yields a 5V/ms slew rate, balancing startup speed and inrush current; larger values slow transitions to minimize stress on upstream supplies.
Are POK and PORB pins available on all MAX38914AANC+T packages?
No-POK and PORB are exclusive to the 14-pin TDFN package (MAX38914AANC+T). They are not present in the WLP variant. These open-drain outputs require external pull-up resistors (10kΩ–200kΩ) and provide power-good indication and configurable reset timing for system sequencing.
