Product details
Overview
MAX8532EBTG-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator with P-channel MOSFET pass element, delivering 200mA output at 3.0V with 100mV typical dropout at 100mA load and 40µVRMS output noise. It operates from 2.5V to 6.5V input, draws only 80µA quiescent current, and features logic-controlled shutdown and thermal/short-circuit protection - ideal for battery-powered portable devices requiring stable, ultra-low-noise voltage rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8532EBTG-T datasheet, MAX8532EBTG-T pinout, MAX8532EBTG-T application, or MAX8532EBTG-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 200mA output, 62dB PSRR at 100Hz, <1µA shutdown current, UCSP package footprint (1.16mm × 1.57mm), and BP pin bypass capability for noise-sensitive analog or RF subsystems.
Technical Context
The MAX8532EBTG-T implements a fixed 3.0V output via internal resistor divider and uses a 1.25V bandgap reference with error amplifier feedback control. Its P-channel MOSFET pass transistor enables load-proportional dropout (100mV @ 100mA) and eliminates base-drive current, ensuring consistent 80µA supply current across light, heavy, and dropout conditions.
It integrates independent current limiting (210mA min), thermal shutdown at +160°C with 10°C hysteresis, and a dedicated BP pin that forms a low-pass filter with a 10nF capacitor to reduce reference noise - directly enabling its 40µVRMS output noise specification over 10Hz–100kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core or I/O rail for 3.0V microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 200mA continuous - sufficient for powering baseband processors, RF transceivers, or display drivers in handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV (typ) at 100mA - extends usable battery life down to ~3.1V input when regulating 3.0V output. |
| Output Noise | 40µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) with 10nF BP cap - meets low-noise requirements for ADC references or RF synthesizer supplies. |
| PSRR | 62dB at 100Hz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC converters or switching power supplies upstream of LDO. |
| Quiescent Current | 80µA (no load) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-on-event circuits. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01µA (typ) at +25°C - enables deep-sleep modes with sub-100nA system leakage budgets. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8532EBTG-T is housed in a 6-bump ultra-compact UCSP package (1.16mm × 1.57mm × 0.66mm, 3×2 bump grid), optimized for space-constrained portable PCBs. The package is RoHS-compliant and lead(Pb)-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| B2 (IN) | Regulator Input | Accepts 2.5V–6.5V unregulated supply; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic input capacitor for stability and line transient response. |
| B1 (OUT) | Regulator Output | Delivers regulated 3.0V up to 200mA; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for load transient performance and stability. |
| A1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Power and signal return path; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane to maintain noise and thermal performance. |
| A2 (SHDN) | Logic-Controlled Shutdown | Active-low enable: tie to IN or logic high for operation; pull low to reduce supply current to <1µA. |
| A3 (BP) | Reference Bypass | Connects to 10nF ceramic capacitor to ground to filter bandgap reference noise - essential for achieving 40µVRMS output noise. |
| B3 (N.C.) | Not Connected | No internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 40µVRMS output noise enabled by dedicated BP pin and external 10nF capacitor - critical for precision analog and RF power domains. |
| P-channel MOSFET pass element | Eliminates base-drive current and enables load-proportional dropout - delivers 80µA quiescent current regardless of load or VIN–VOUT margin. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (+160°C, 10°C hysteresis) and short-circuit current limit (210mA min) allow indefinite output shorting without damage. |
| Ultra-small footprint | 1.16mm × 1.57mm UCSP package saves >70% board area vs. SOT-23 - enables miniaturization in cellular handsets and wireless modules. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 62dB rejection at 100Hz - effectively isolates sensitive loads from ripple generated by buck converters or AC adapters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, low-dropout LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS78030DRVR | 3.0V fixed output, 150mA max, 250nA shutdown current, 25µVRMS noise, SOT-563 package (1.6mm × 1.6mm). | Lower noise and deeper shutdown, but 50mA lower output current and larger footprint - suitable only for lighter-load, ultra-low-power systems. | Select TPS78030DRVR if sub-25µVRMS noise and nanoamp shutdown dominate over output current and board area. |
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | 3.0V fixed output, 250mA max, 1.8µA quiescent current, 30µVRMS noise, SOT-23-5 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm). | Higher output current and lower cost, but 22× higher quiescent current and no BP pin - limits use in battery-critical or ultra-low-noise designs. | Select MCP1700T-3002E/MB only for cost-sensitive, non-battery-limited applications where 1.8µA IQ is acceptable. |
Compared with TPS78030DRVR and MCP1700T-3002E/MB, the MAX8532EBTG-T uniquely balances 200mA output, 40µVRMS noise, 80µA IQ, and 1.16mm × 1.57mm footprint - making it optimal for space- and noise-constrained portable systems where all four parameters matter simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX8532EBTG-T over temperature?
The MAX8532EBTG-T maintains ±2% output voltage accuracy over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C at 1mA load, and ±3% at 0.1mA to 200mA load. This is verified per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet, where output voltage accuracy is specified as -3% to +3% across temperature and load conditions - ensuring reliable operation in thermally varying portable environments.
Does the MAX8532EBTG-T require an external capacitor on the BP pin?
Yes, the MAX8532EBTG-T requires a 10nF ceramic capacitor between the BP pin and GND to achieve its specified 40µVRMS output noise. Without this capacitor, reference noise is unfiltered and output noise increases significantly. The BP pin connects internally to the 1.25V bandgap reference through a series resistor, forming a low-pass filter - making the 10nF capacitor essential for low-noise performance in analog or RF applications.
What is the maximum power dissipation allowed for the MAX8532EBTG-T in its UCSP package?
The MAX8532EBTG-T has a maximum continuous power dissipation of 308mW at +70°C ambient, with derating of 3.9mW/°C above that temperature. This limit is defined by the 6-pin UCSP package's thermal resistance and absolute maximum ratings. Exceeding this - for example, with VIN = 6.5V, VOUT = 3.0V, and IOUT = 200mA (P = 700mW) - will trigger thermal shutdown at +160°C junction temperature, protecting the device but interrupting regulation.
Can the MAX8532EBTG-T operate with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 2.2µF?
The MAX8532EBTG-T is optimized for 2.2µF ceramic output capacitance and requires ≥1µF for loads below 150mA. Using less than 1µF risks instability, especially over temperature and load extremes. The datasheet explicitly states "use a minimum of 2.2µF (or 1µF for <150mA loading)" - so while 1µF may suffice for light loads, 2.2µF is mandatory for full 200mA operation and guaranteed stability across -40°C to +85°C.
Is the N.C. pin (B3) on the MAX8532EBTG-T safe to connect to ground or leave floating?
The B3 pin on the MAX8532EBTG-T is explicitly designated "Not Connected" in the bump description and functional diagram - meaning it has no internal connection. It must remain unconnected on the PCB. Grounding or routing to any net introduces risk of mechanical stress, solder bridging, or parasitic coupling that could degrade noise performance or cause field failures. Maxim's package documentation confirms N.C. bumps are electrically isolated and should not be soldered or tied.
