Product details
Overview
MAX8510EXK33-T from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V ultra-low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator featuring a P-channel MOSFET pass element, 120mV dropout at 120mA, 11µVRMS output noise (100Hz–100kHz), and 78dB PSRR at 1kHz - designed for powering noise-sensitive analog circuitry in portable RF systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8510EXK33-T datasheet, MAX8510EXK33-T pinout, MAX8510EXK33-T application, or MAX8510EXK33-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 120mA output, 40µA ground current across load and temperature, SC70-5 package compatibility, and BP-capacitor–enabled noise suppression for precision ADC/DAC reference rails.
Technical Context
The MAX8510EXK33-T uses an internal 1.225V bandgap reference and error amplifier to regulate output against load/line variations, with feedback provided by a factory-trimmed resistor divider. Its P-channel MOSFET pass transistor delivers 1Ω typical RDS(ON), enabling low dropout without base-drive current penalty.
Shutdown is controlled via active-low SHDN pin, reducing supply current to <1µA; BP pin accepts a 10nF capacitor to shunt high-frequency noise from the error amplifier's bias network, directly enabling the 11µVRMS noise performance. Thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with 10°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% over -40°C to +85°C; enables direct replacement of standard 3.3V logic/RF rails without external feedback components. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120mV at 120mA load; allows operation down to VIN = 3.42V, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion or 3.6V systems. |
| Output Noise | 11µVRMS (100Hz–100kHz); meets stringent requirements for PLL VCO supplies, high-resolution SAR ADC references, and low-jitter clock buffers. |
| PSRR | 78dB at 1kHz, 54dB at 100kHz; suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding intermediate power domains. |
| Ground Current | 40µA typical at light load, 220µA in dropout; minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on subsystems like Bluetooth LE receivers. |
| Stability | Guaranteed stable with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R/X5R); eliminates need for tantalum or large electrolytic caps, saving board space and cost. |
| Protection | Thermal shutdown (+160°C) and current limit (130–300mA); permits indefinite short-circuit survival and safe operation under transient overload. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8510EXK33-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SC70-5 package (2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm), with exposed die pad omitted - unlike the TDFN variant. The GND pin serves dual electrical and thermal functions; PCB layout must use adequate copper area for heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2V to 6V; requires 1µF ceramic input capacitor close to pin for EMI filtering and line-transient response. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference and thermal path | Must connect to solid ground plane; primary heat conduction path - insufficient copper causes thermal derating above 60mA. |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Pull ≤0.4V to disable; draws <0.1µA when asserted; connect to IN for always-on operation. |
| 4 - BP | Noise bypass node | Connect 10nF capacitor to OUT; critical for achieving 11µVRMS noise - omitting it degrades noise to 230µVRMS. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated 3.3V output | Delivers up to 120mA; requires 1µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR <100mΩ for stability across temperature and load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output noise | 11µVRMS (100Hz–100kHz) enabled by BP-capacitor–coupled bandgap noise cancellation - essential for RF synthesizer VCO supplies. |
| High PSRR at audio frequencies | 78dB rejection at 1kHz suppresses ripple from buck converter switching edges and digital supply coupling into analog signal chains. |
| Low-quiescent ground current | 40µA typical ensures >1-year battery life in 10µA standby systems (e.g., IoT sensor nodes), even with 3.3V rail always active. |
| Dropout optimized for Li-ion | 120mV dropout at full 120mA allows regulation until cell voltage drops to 3.42V - capturing >95% of single-cell Li-ion energy. |
| SC70-5 footprint compatibility | Standard 5-pin SC70 land pattern (Maxim drawing 21-0076) enables drop-in replacement for legacy LDOs without PCB redesign. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.

|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B332MR-G | 3.3V fixed, 150mA, 250mV dropout at 150mA, 45µVRMS noise, no BP pin | Lacks BP-based noise suppression; unsuitable for VCO/ADC reference where <15µV noise is required | Select only if noise <20µVRMS is not critical and higher dropout is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for the MAX8510EXK33-T?
The MAX8510EXK33-T is guaranteed to deliver 120mA continuous output current across its operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Current-limit protection activates between 130mA and 300mA, allowing safe operation under short-circuit conditions without damage. This rating assumes proper thermal management using the SC70-5 package's GND pin as a thermal path.
Does the MAX8510EXK33-T require an external bypass capacitor, and if so, what value?
Yes - the MAX8510EXK33-T requires a 10nF capacitor connected between the BP pin and OUT pin to achieve its specified 11µVRMS output noise. Omitting this capacitor increases output noise to 230µVRMS. Capacitor values below 1nF or above 100nF are not recommended, as they degrade noise performance or stability.
What is the dropout voltage of the MAX8510EXK33-T at full rated load?
The MAX8510EXK33-T exhibits a typical dropout voltage of 120mV at 120mA load current and +25°C. This value increases slightly at temperature extremes (e.g., 150mV at -40°C) and scales linearly with load. At 10mA, dropout drops to ~40mV, enabling efficient operation in ultra-low-power modes.
Can the MAX8510EXK33-T be used with ceramic output capacitors, and what is the minimum required value?
Yes - the MAX8510EXK33-T is fully stable with a minimum 1µF X7R or X5R ceramic output capacitor. Larger values improve PSRR and transient response. Z5U/Y5V dielectrics require ≥2.2µF for stability below -10°C. ESR must remain below 100mΩ across operating conditions per the stability region chart in the datasheet.
How does the shutdown function operate on the MAX8510EXK33-T, and what is its leakage current?
The MAX8510EXK33-T enters shutdown when the SHDN pin is pulled to ≤0.4V, reducing total supply current to <1µA. SHDN input bias current is <0.01µA at +85°C. During shutdown, the output enters high-impedance state, and internal reference, error amplifier, and pass transistor are disabled. Exit delay is typically 300µs.
