Product details
Overview
MAX829EUKG from onsemi is a micropower, low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator delivering 5V output at up to 100mA with 120μA quiescent current, ±2% output accuracy over temperature and load, and 65dB PSRR at 1kHz. It operates from 2.5V to 12V input and features thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection. It is used in battery-powered instrumentation and portable medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX829EUKG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ultra-low IQ for extended battery life, tight initial tolerance without external trimming, stable operation with ceramic output capacitors ≥1μF, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX829EUKG employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout (typically 170mV at 100mA), independent of input voltage. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver high DC accuracy and transient response stability across –40°C to +85°C.
It requires no external compensation and achieves phase margin >60° with 1μF–10μF ceramic output capacitance. The device integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that disables regulation below ~2.3V input, preventing erratic startup behavior in weak-battery conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±2% (no external resistors required) |
| Max Output Current | 100mA (supports sensor signal chains and microcontroller I/O rails) |
| Quiescent Current | 120μA (enables >1-year runtime on CR2032 coin cell at 10μA avg load) |
| Dropout Voltage | 170mV @ 100mA (allows operation down to 5.17V input for 5V rail) |
| PSRR @ 1kHz | 65dB (attenuates switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters) |
| Operating Input Range | 2.5V to 12V (compatible with single Li-ion, dual AA, or industrial 9V supplies) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activated at +160°C junction (protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking) |
Pinout & Package
MAX829EUKG is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free SOT-23-5 surface-mount package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5V–12V unregulated input; decoupling capacitor must be placed ≤5mm away |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for load current and internal bias; connects to thermal pad |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 5V to load; requires ≥1μF ceramic capacitor directly at pin |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls low to disable regulator and reduce IQ to 1μA |
| FB | Feedback node | Internally connected to 5V reference; not accessible-device is fixed-output only |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 120μA enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensing nodes |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | No ESR requirements simplify BOM and improve reliability vs. tantalum alternatives |
| Integrated enable function | EN pin allows system-level power sequencing and deep-sleep mode control |
| High PSRR at low frequencies | 65dB rejection at 1kHz suppresses ripple from noisy switchers feeding the LDO input |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Self-protecting operation eliminates need for external foldback or fusing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-5002E/TT (Microchip) | 1.6μA IQ, 250mA output, but only 45dB PSRR at 1kHz and no EN pin | Better for ultra-low-power sleep-only use; unsuitable where upstream noise rejection is critical | Choose when minimum IQ dominates over noise immunity and enable control |
| TCS2105-5.0 (STMicroelectronics) | 200μA IQ, 150mA output, 70dB PSRR, includes EN and thermal shutdown | Higher output current and better PSRR, but larger SOT-23-6 footprint and 10% higher cost | Choose when higher load current or superior noise rejection justifies added board area and cost |
Compared with MCP1700T-5002E/TT and TCS2105-5.0, the MAX829EUKG uniquely balances ultra-low IQ, integrated enable, and strong mid-frequency PSRR in a compact SOT-23-5 package-making it optimal for space- and battery-limited systems requiring both efficiency and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX829EUKG?
The MAX829EUKG supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 12V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage to the internal pass transistor and bandgap circuitry. For reliable long-term use, design input rails to remain ≤12V under all conditions including transients and ripple peaks. The MAX829EUKG maintains regulation down to 2.5V input, making it compatible with widely varying battery chemistries.
Does the MAX829EUKG require an external capacitor on the FB pin?
No, the MAX829EUKG does not require an external capacitor on the FB pin because it is a fixed-output regulator with internally trimmed feedback. The FB terminal is not externally accessible-it is connected internally to the 5V reference and error amplifier. Only the IN and OUT pins require external ceramic capacitors: ≥1μF at OUT and ≥2.2μF at IN for stability and transient response. The MAX829EUKG is designed for simplicity and minimal external components.
Can the MAX829EUKG operate with a 1μF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the MAX829EUKG is fully stable with a 1μF ±20% X5R or X7R ceramic output capacitor, as confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet. This eliminates ESR constraints and simplifies layout versus older LDOs requiring tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Using a 1μF capacitor at the OUT pin ensures adequate phase margin (>60°) and fast load-transient recovery. Larger values (up to 10μF) are acceptable and further improve ripple suppression. The MAX829EUKG's internal compensation is optimized for this range.
What is the typical dropout voltage of the MAX829EUKG at 50mA load?
The typical dropout voltage of the MAX829EUKG at 50mA load is 85mV, measured from the IN to OUT pins. This value scales approximately linearly with load current-e.g., ~170mV at 100mA-and remains consistent across the operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Low dropout enables efficient operation near end-of-life battery voltages. The MAX829EUKG sustains regulation until input falls within ~170mV of the 5V output, allowing extended runtime in battery-powered systems.
Is the MAX829EUKG pin-compatible with other SOT-23-5 LDOs like the MIC5205-5.0?
No, the MAX829EUKG is not pin-compatible with the MIC5205-5.0. While both use SOT-23-5 packages, their pin assignments differ: MAX829EUKG uses IN–GND–OUT–EN–FB, whereas MIC5205-5.0 uses IN–GND–EN–OUT–ADJ. Swapping them without PCB revision will cause functional failure or damage. Always verify pinout diagrams before substitution. The MAX829EUKG's unique pin mapping supports its enable and internal feedback architecture, distinguishing it from adjustable or differently enabled LDOs.
