Product details
Overview
MAX8510EXK33- from Maxim Integrated is a preset 3.3V ultra-low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator delivering up to 120mA output current with 120mV dropout at full load, 11µVRMS output noise (100Hz–100kHz), and 78dB PSRR at 1kHz. It employs a P-channel MOSFET pass element, achieves 40µA ground current, and operates from 2V to 6V input - ideal for powering RF front-ends and precision analog circuitry in portable radios.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8510EXK33- datasheet, MAX8510EXK33- pinout, MAX8510EXK33- application, or MAX8510EXK33- equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 3.3V ±3% output accuracy over temperature and load, SC70-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCBs, low-noise performance without external feedback, and shutdown current <1µA for battery longevity.
Technical Context
The MAX8510EXK33- uses an integrated 1.225V bandgap reference and error amplifier to regulate output against internal fixed resistive feedback. Its P-channel MOSFET pass transistor (typ. RDS(ON) = 1Ω) eliminates base-drive current, enabling stable 40µA quiescent operation across load and temperature.
Noise reduction is achieved via dedicated BP pin with 10nF capacitor to OUT, enabling 11µVRMS RMS noise by shunting high-frequency reference noise. Shutdown logic disables reference, error amp, and gate drive, forcing OUT into high-impedance state while drawing <0.05µA at +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±3% over -40°C to +85°C and 100µA–80mA load - ensures stable core voltage for 3.3V microcontrollers and transceivers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120mV at 120mA load - enables operation down to VIN = 3.42V, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Output Noise | 11µVRMS (100Hz–100kHz) with 10nF BP capacitor - meets stringent noise requirements for ADC references and VCO power supplies. |
| PSRR | 78dB at 1kHz, 54dB at 100kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Ground Current | 40µA typical at no load, 220µA in dropout - minimizes standby power loss in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Shutdown Current | <0.05µA at +85°C - preserves battery charge during extended sleep modes in Bluetooth accessories. |
| Stability | Guaranteed with 1µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R/X5R) - eliminates need for tantalum or large electrolytics, reducing BOM cost and footprint. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8510EXK33- is packaged in a 5-pin SC70-5 (2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm) with exposed pad option unavailable for this variant. The package supports reflow soldering and provides thermal relief via GND pin connection to PCB ground plane.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2V–6V input; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling close to pin for line transient immunity. |
| 2 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Dual-function pin: primary return path and primary thermal conduction path to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low enable control | Pulled high to IN for normal operation; driven low (<0.4V) to enter sub-µA shutdown with high-Z output. |
| 4 (BP) | Noise bypass terminal | Connects 10nF capacitor to OUT to reduce reference noise; shorted to OUT internally during shutdown. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated 3.3V output | Delivers up to 120mA; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output noise | 11µVRMS (100Hz–100kHz) enabled by dedicated BP pin and internal bandgap filtering - critical for RF synthesizer power rails. |
| P-channel MOSFET pass device | Eliminates base-drive current, ensuring 40µA ground current independent of load - extends battery runtime in portable medical devices. |
| Single-capacitor stability | Stable with only 1µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor - reduces bill-of-materials and board area vs. legacy LDOs requiring ≥10µF. |
| High PSRR at audio frequencies | 78dB rejection at 1kHz - effectively isolates sensitive analog circuits from digital switching noise on shared power rails. |
| Thermal and current protection | 160°C thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis and 130–300mA current limit - prevents damage during sustained overload or ambient overheating. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX8510EXK33-?
The MAX8510EXK33- has an absolute maximum input voltage of +7V referenced to GND. However, its specified operating input range is 2V to 6V. Exceeding 6V may cause excessive power dissipation or violate internal voltage limits, even if within absolute maximum ratings. Always operate the MAX8510EXK33- within 2V–6V for guaranteed performance and reliability across temperature.
Does the MAX8510EXK33- require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the MAX8510EXK33- does not require an external feedback resistor network. It is a factory-preset 3.3V regulator with internal feedback divider. The FB pin is not present on this variant - only the MAX8512 supports adjustable output via external resistors. Using external resistors with the MAX8510EXK33- would disrupt regulation and is not supported.
Can the MAX8510EXK33- be used with a 0.47µF output capacitor?
No, the MAX8510EXK33- is not guaranteed stable with a 0.47µF output capacitor. The datasheet specifies stability with ≥1µF ceramic (X7R/X5R) output capacitance. Using 0.47µF risks oscillation or degraded transient response, especially under light or dynamic loads. Always use 1µF or greater per the manufacturer's validated design.
What is the purpose of the BP pin on the MAX8510EXK33-?
The BP (Bypass) pin on the MAX8510EXK33- connects to an external 10nF capacitor tied to the OUT pin, forming a low-noise filter for the internal bandgap reference. This configuration reduces output voltage noise to 11µVRMS (100Hz–100kHz). During shutdown, the BP pin is internally shorted to OUT, eliminating leakage paths and preserving capacitor charge.
Is the MAX8510EXK33- pin-compatible with other MAX851x variants in SC70-5?
Yes, the MAX8510EXK33- shares identical SC70-5 pinout and footprint with all MAX8510/MAX8511 SC70-5 variants, including MAX8511EXK33-T. Pin functions (IN, GND, SHDN, BP, OUT) are consistent across these parts. However, note that MAX8511 lacks the BP pin function (N.C.), so substituting it for noise-critical applications degrades performance.
