Product details
Overview
MAX8559EBA11+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator delivering two independent 1.85V outputs at up to 300mA each, operating from 2.5V–6.5V input. It features 32µVRMS output noise, 70dB PSRR at 10kHz, and 60mV dropout at 100mA load-designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring clean, stable dual-rail power.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8559EBA11+ datasheet, MAX8559EBA11+ pinout, MAX8559EBA11+ application, or MAX8559EBA11+ equivalent, key selection factors include factory-preset 1.85V/1.85V outputs, independent logic-controlled shutdown (SHDNA/SHDNB), UCSP package footprint (2mm × 1mm), and operation without mandatory bypass capacitor on BP.
Technical Context
The MAX8559EBA11+ integrates two independent P-channel MOSFET pass transistors (RDS(ON) ≈ 0.6Ω) with internal 1.25V bandgap reference and error amplifiers. Each LDO uses an internal resistor divider to set its fixed 1.85V output, eliminating external feedback components.
Shutdown control is fully decoupled: SHDNA independently disables OUTA, SHDNB disables OUTB, and both low disable the internal reference-reducing supply current to 0.01µA. Thermal protection activates at +160°C with 10°C hysteresis, and each output includes autonomous current limiting (310mA min).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.85V per channel (factory-preset, no external resistors required) |
| Max Output Current | 300mA per LDO (supports 4.7µF ceramic output capacitor) |
| Dropout Voltage | 60mV at 100mA load (enables extended battery runtime near end-of-discharge) |
| Output Noise | 32µVRMS (100Hz–100kHz, with 0.01µF BP capacitor) |
| PSRR | 70dB at 10kHz (rejects switching noise from adjacent DC-DC stages) |
| Quiescent Current | 115µA per LDO (load-independent, enables ultra-low-power standby) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6.5V (compatible with single Li-ion, dual alkaline, or regulated 3.3V/5V rails) |
Pinout & Package
MAX8559EBA11+ is packaged in an 8-bump UCSP (2.06mm × 1.03mm, B8-1) with exposed die attach pad not connected to any internal node-requires PCB ground connection for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INA | LDO A Input | Shared input rail for both regulators; must be bypassed with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| SHDNA | Shutdown A Control | Logic-low disables OUTA; high-Z when floating; connect to INA for always-on operation |
| SHDNB | Shutdown B Control | Logic-low disables OUTB; independent of SHDNA; enables selective rail powering |
| INB | LDO B Input | Electrically tied to INA internally; same input voltage domain as INA |
| OUTB | LDO B Output | Delivers 1.85V/300mA; internally discharged via 385Ω to GND during shutdown |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| BP | Noise Bypass Terminal | Accepts 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to reduce output noise; optional if noise sensitivity is low |
| OUTA | LDO A Output | Delivers 1.85V/300mA; internally discharged via 385Ω to GND during shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent LDOs | Enables simultaneous 1.85V/1.85V rails for core + I/O domains without cross-talk |
| Low-noise regulation | 32µVRMS output noise supports noise-sensitive analog/RF circuits (e.g., ADCs, VCOs) |
| Independent shutdown inputs | Allows dynamic power gating of individual rails-critical for multi-sleep-state portable systems |
| P-channel MOSFET pass devices | Eliminates base-drive current loss; achieves 60mV dropout at 100mA and <220µA total IQ under load |
| Thermal + short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering shutdown prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking (TJ > +160°C) |
Applications
| Cellular Handsets | Digital Cameras |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powering baseband processor core (1.85V) and camera sensor interface (1.85V) from a single Li-ion cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail LDO providing isolated, low-noise, and independently controllable voltage domains.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise dual LDO ensuring clean power for high-resolution image capture without digital noise coupling. Use Value: 32µVRMS noise and 70dB PSRR prevent switching artifacts in captured images under mixed-signal load conditions. |
| Notebook Subsystems | Wireless LAN Cards |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual LDO with independent shutdown enabling EC wake-up while keeping touchpad rail off until user interaction. Use Value: 0.01µA deep-shutdown current (both SHDN low) extends battery life during suspend-to-RAM states. | Use Scenario: Delivering 1.85V to WLAN SoC RF section and baseband section in mini-PCIe form factor cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact dual LDO meeting tight 2mm × 1mm footprint constraints while maintaining PSRR >65dB up to 100kHz. Use Value: TDFN/UCSP package compatibility allows drop-in use in space-constrained M.2 and NGFF modules without redesign. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS70245PWPR | Fixed 1.8V/3.3V dual outputs; higher 250µA IQ; requires external feedback for voltage adjustment | Not suitable for matched 1.85V rails; better for asymmetric voltage needs (e.g., core + I/O) | Select only if system requires non-matched outputs and can tolerate higher quiescent current. |
| MCP1826S-1802E/DB | Single 1.8V LDO (300mA); no dual-output or independent shutdown; SOT-23-5 package | Requires two devices for dual-rail operation; lacks shutdown isolation and noise performance | Use only for cost-sensitive, low-complexity designs where rail independence and noise are secondary. |
Compared with TPS70245PWPR and MCP1826S-1802E/DB, the MAX8559EBA11+ uniquely delivers matched 1.85V outputs with independent shutdown, 32µVRMS noise, and UCSP footprint-making it optimal for compact, battery-critical dual-rail systems where rail symmetry and ultra-low noise are mandatory.

FAQ
What output voltages does the MAX8559EBA11+ provide?
The MAX8559EBA11+ provides two identical, factory-preset 1.85V outputs (VOUTA = VOUTB = 1.85V). This configuration is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and requires no external resistors. The "11" in the part number directly encodes this dual-1.85V option per the Output Voltage Selector Guide in the datasheet.
Can the MAX8559EBA11+ operate without the BP capacitor?
Yes, the MAX8559EBA11+ can operate without the 0.01µF BP capacitor. Omitting it increases output noise to 254µVRMS (vs. 32µVRMS with BP), but maintains full regulation, stability, and protection functionality-allowing design trade-offs between noise performance and solution size/cost.
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for the MAX8559EBA11+?
The MAX8559EBA11+ delivers up to 300mA continuous output current per channel (OUTA and OUTB). This rating assumes use of a 4.7µF ceramic output capacitor and proper thermal management-especially critical in the UCSP package, which has a 379mW power dissipation limit at +70°C ambient.
Does the MAX8559EBA11+ require input or output capacitors for stability?
Yes, the MAX8559EBA11+ requires minimum 2.2µF ceramic input and output capacitors for stable operation up to 150mA per rail. For full 300mA capability across the -40°C to +85°C range, 4.7µF minimum capacitors are specified. X7R/X5R dielectrics are recommended; Z5U/Y5V types may require larger values for low-temperature stability.
How does shutdown work on the MAX8559EBA11+?
The MAX8559EBA11+ features two independent shutdown inputs: SHDNA controls OUTA, and SHDNB controls OUTB. Driving either pin low disables its respective LDO output and discharges it through a 385Ω internal resistor. Driving both low disables the entire device-including the internal reference-reducing total supply current to 0.01µA.
