Product details
Overview
MAX4833ETT25BD3 from Maxim Integrated is a 2.5V, 100mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated RESET output, reverse-current protection, 90µA quiescent current, and programmable soft-start. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input and delivers stable voltage for USB port power management in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4833ETT25BD3 datasheet, MAX4833ETT25BD3 pinout, MAX4833ETT25BD3 application, or MAX4833ETT25BD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V fixed output, push-pull RESET with 225ms timeout (D3), TDFN-6 package thermal performance, and shutdown discharge capability.
Technical Context
The MAX4833ETT25BD3 integrates an accurate current-limiting switch with a push-pull RESET output that asserts low when VOUT drops below 87.5% of nominal (2.1875V), during input undervoltage lockout (<2.25V), thermal shutdown (+165°C), or SHDN assertion. Its soft-start is externally programmable via capacitor on SS pin, with tSS = CSS (nF) ms.
Reverse-current protection ensures <2µA IN leakage when VOUT ≥ VIN, and shutdown discharges OUT through an internal 900Ω resistor. The device uses BiCMOS process and features thermal hysteresis of 15°C to prevent oscillation during overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% over -40°C to +85°C - enables direct replacement of 2.5V logic rails without external feedback. |
| Load Current | Guaranteed 100mA - sufficient for powering SDIO peripherals, GPS baseband ICs, or USB transceivers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 130mV at 100mA - allows operation with VIN as low as 2.63V while maintaining regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA active / 0.1µA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on portable systems. |
| RESET Timeout | 225ms (D3 suffix) - prevents false resets during brief load transients while ensuring reliable system recovery. |
| Soft-Start Time | Programmable (e.g., 100ms with 0.1µF CSS) - eliminates inrush current and avoids false FLAG/RESET assertion at startup. |
| Shutdown Discharge | Internal 900Ω path from OUT to GND - ensures rapid output decay during shutdown for sequencing-critical applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4833ETT25BD3 is housed in a 3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm-thick TDFN-6 package with exposed paddle (EP) internally connected to GND. The EP must be externally soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance (derating: 24.4mW/°C above +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Power Supply | Bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor; accepts 2.5V–5.5V; UVLO triggers below 2.25V. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for all circuits; EP must be connected to this node for thermal and EMI control. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Enable | Pull low to enter 0.1µA shutdown; VIH ≥1.4V, VIL ≤0.5V; toggling re-enables operation. |
| 4 (RESET) | Push-Pull Reset Output | Asserts low during VOUT <2.1875V, VIN <2.25V, thermal shutdown, or SHDN low; remains low for 225ms after fault clears. |
| 5 (SS) | Soft-Start Control | Connect capacitor to GND to set ramp time; floating yields ~1ms rise; 0.1µF gives ~100ms. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers 2.5V ±2%; requires ≥3.3µF ceramic cap (ESR <0.2Ω); discharges via internal 900Ω in shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Accurate current limiting | 115–135mA limit with latch-off immunity during soft-start - protects downstream circuitry without false triggering. |
| Reverse-current protection | <2µA reverse leakage when VOUT ≥ VIN - prevents backfeeding into shared input rails in multi-rail systems. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | +165°C trip / +150°C recovery - enables safe pulsed operation under sustained overload without damage. |
| 15kV HBM ESD protection at OUT | Enabled by ≥3.3µF output capacitor with ESR <0.2Ω - eliminates need for external TVS in USB/SDIO interfaces. |
| Reset transient immunity | Withstands 54µs transients 10mV below reset threshold - avoids spurious resets during switching noise or load dumps. |
Applications

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX4833ETT25BD3 provide?
The MAX4833ETT25BD3 provides a fixed 2.5V output voltage with ±2% accuracy over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This is confirmed by the "25" suffix per Maxim's naming convention (Table 1) and verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage Accuracy." The device requires no external resistors to set this voltage.
What is the RESET timeout period for MAX4833ETT25BD3?
The MAX4833ETT25BD3 has a RESET timeout period of 225ms, indicated by the "D3" suffix per Table 2. This duration is guaranteed after any reset condition (e.g., VOUT drop, UVLO, thermal shutdown) terminates, ensuring the host system remains held in reset long enough for complete recovery before release.
Does MAX4833ETT25BD3 support shutdown output discharge?
Yes, MAX4833ETT25BD3 supports shutdown output discharge via an internal 900Ω resistor between OUT and GND. This feature is explicitly documented in the Electrical Characteristics table ("OUT Discharge Resistance in Shutdown") and distinguishes it from the FLAG-version MAX4832, which lacks this functionality.
What package type is used for MAX4833ETT25BD3?
MAX4833ETT25BD3 uses a 6-pin TDFN package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height) with exposed paddle (EP), as denoted by the "TT" in the part number and confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Package Information section. The EP is internally connected to GND and must be externally soldered to PCB ground.
How does the soft-start function work on MAX4833ETT25BD3?
The soft-start on MAX4833ETT25BD3 is controlled by an external capacitor (CSS) connected from the SS pin to GND. The soft-start time tSS equals the capacitor value in nF (e.g., 0.1µF = 100nF → ~100ms). With CSS unconnected, tSS defaults to ~1ms. This function ramps VOUT gradually to suppress inrush current and avoid false RESET assertion during power-up.
