Product details
Overview
The MAX4835EUT18BD3 from Maxim Integrated is a 250mA, 1.8V fixed-output LDO linear regulator with integrated push-pull RESET output, reverse-current protection, and shutdown-controlled OUT discharge. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers ±2% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, and features 90µA quiescent current - used in USB port power management for portable devices requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4835EUT18BD3 datasheet, MAX4835EUT18BD3 pinout, MAX4835EUT18BD3 application, or MAX4835EUT18BD3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.8V preset output, D3 reset timeout (225ms), SOT23-6 package, 165mV dropout at 250mA, and shutdown discharge via internal 900Ω resistor - all critical for low-power embedded power sequencing and fault reporting.
Technical Context
The MAX4835EUT18BD3 implements a BiCMOS-based LDO architecture with an internal P-channel pass transistor, precision bandgap reference, and error amplifier. Its RESET function asserts low when VOUT falls below 87.5% of nominal (1.575V), with programmable timeout (225ms) to reject transient glitches.
It integrates soft-start control via external capacitor on SS pin (tSS = CSS in nF), reverse-current blocking to limit IN leakage to <2µA when VOUT > VIN, and thermal shutdown at +165°C with 15°C hysteresis - enabling robust operation in thermally constrained portable designs.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX4835EUT18BD3 is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (3.0mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), with GND-connected exposed pad omitted in SOT23 variant. Pin 1 is IN; Pin 2 is GND; Pin 3 is SHDN; Pin 4 is RESET; Pin 5 is SS; Pin 6 is OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Power Input | Bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor; must be ≥2.5V for regulation and ≥2.0V to avoid UVLO. |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Common return for IN, OUT, SHDN, SS, and RESET; forms low-impedance path for noise rejection. |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-Low Enable | Pulled high to enable; pulled low to shut down regulator and activate 900Ω OUT discharge path. |
| 4 - RESET | Push-Pull Fault Indicator | Asserts low during VOUT undervoltage, VIN UVLO, thermal shutdown, or SHDN assertion; remains low for 225ms after fault clears. |
| 5 - SS | Soft-Start Control | Connects to GND via capacitor (e.g., 0.1µF → 100ms tSS) to limit inrush current during power-up. |
| 6 - OUT | Regulated Output | Supplies 1.8V load; requires ≥3.3µF ceramic capacitor with ESR <0.2Ω for stability across temperature and load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated RESET with programmable timeout | 225ms (D3 suffix) - eliminates need for external RC timing network and improves reset reliability vs. discrete solutions. |
| Shutdown-controlled OUT discharge | Internal 900Ω resistor - safely discharges output capacitance during shutdown, preventing backfeeding into powered-down circuitry. |
| Reverse-current protection | IN leakage <2µA when VOUT > VIN - prevents battery drain in multi-rail systems where 1.8V domain may remain active while main supply is off. |
| Accurate current limiting | 270–330mA trip threshold - protects downstream loads and PCB traces without requiring external current-sense resistors. |
| Low-dropout operation | 165mV at full 250mA load - extends usable battery life by maintaining regulation deeper into discharge cycle. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | +165°C trip / +150°C recovery - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload while allowing automatic recovery once cooled. |

FAQ
What is the exact RESET timeout period for MAX4835EUT18BD3?
The MAX4835EUT18BD3 has a RESET timeout period of 225ms, indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This duration begins after the RESET condition (e.g., VOUT falling below 1.575V) ends and ensures the RESET signal remains asserted long enough to guarantee full system initialization - matching typical microcontroller reset-hold requirements without external timing components.
Does MAX4835EUT18BD3 provide output discharge during shutdown?
Yes, the MAX4835EUT18BD3 includes internal shutdown output discharge via a 900Ω resistor between OUT and GND. When SHDN is pulled low, this path actively discharges the output capacitor, preventing backfeeding into powered-down circuitry - a key safety feature absent in the FLAG-version MAX4834 and essential for clean power sequencing in portable devices using MAX4835EUT18BD3.
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX4835EUT18BD3 to regulate 1.8V output?
The MAX4835EUT18BD3 requires a minimum input voltage of 1.965V to maintain regulation at 1.8V output, based on its 165mV dropout voltage at 250mA. However, the device's input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates below 2.00V (rising), so stable operation begins only when VIN exceeds 2.25V - ensuring both dropout margin and UVLO release for reliable 1.8V rail generation in MAX4835EUT18BD3 designs.
Can MAX4835EUT18BD3 be used with a 0.1µF soft-start capacitor?
Yes, connecting a 0.1µF capacitor from SS to GND sets the soft-start time of MAX4835EUT18BD3 to approximately 100ms, as specified by tSS = CSS (in nF). This value effectively limits inrush current during startup, protecting upstream sources and reducing stress on input capacitors - a recommended practice for applications with large downstream capacitance, such as those using MAX4835EUT18BD3 to power processor I/O banks.
Is MAX4835EUT18BD3 pin-compatible with other members of the MAX483x family?
Yes, MAX4835EUT18BD3 is pin-compatible with all SOT23-6 variants in the MAX4834/MAX4835 family, including MAX4834EUT18C-T and MAX4835EUT25BD3-T. The pinout (IN, GND, SHDN, RESET/FLAG, SS, OUT) and package footprint are identical across voltage and feature variants - enabling drop-in replacement for design flexibility, though RESET/FLAG functionality and output voltage must be verified per application requirements when substituting MAX4835EUT18BD3.
