General Description
The MAX15029/MAX15030 low-dropout linear regulators
operate from input voltages as low as 1.425V and deliver
up to 500mA of continuous output current with a typical
dropout voltage of only 40mV. The output voltage is adjust-
able from 0.5V to VIN and is ±2% accurate over load and
line variations, from -40°C to +125°C. The MAX15030
features a BIAS input of 3V to 5.5V from an always-on
power supply. The BIAS input current is reduced down to
less than 2μA during the shutdown.
These regulators use small, 1μF ceramic input capacitors
and 2.2μF ceramic output capacitors to deliver 500mA
output current. High bandwidth provides excellent tran-
sient response and limits the output voltage deviation to
10mV for a 100mA to 500mA load step, with only a 2.2μF
ceramic output capacitor, and the voltage deviations can
be reduced further by increasing the output capacitor.
These devices offer a logic-controlled shutdown input to
reduce input current (IIN) consumption down to less than
5.5μA in standby mode. Other features include a soft-
start to reduce inrush current, short-circuit protection, and
thermal-overload protection.
The MAX15030 features a BIAS input allowing a
secondary supply to keep the LDO’s internal circuitry
alive if the voltage on IN goes to 0. Both devices are fully
specified from -40°C to +125°C and are available in a
10-pin thermally enhanced TDFN package (3mm x 3mm)
that includes an exposed pad for optimal power dissipation.
For a 1A version of these LDOs, refer to the MAX15027/
MAX15028 data sheet.

Pin Description
Pin Congurations (continued)
Detailed Description
The MAX15029/MAX15030 low-dropout linear regula-
tors operate from input voltages as low as 1.425V and
deliver up to 500mA of continuous output current with a
maximum dropout voltage of only 150mV.
The MAX15030 operates with an input voltage as low
as 1.425V if the bias voltage (VBIAS) of 3V to 5.5V is
available. The power is applied at IN while the control is
provided through BIAS input. The current drawn by BIAS
is negligible when the LDO goes into the shutdown. This
feature is especially useful in automotive applications
where the BIAS input is derived from an always-on LDO
that expects to provide minimal power during the key-off
condition.
The pMOS output stage can be driven from input voltages
down to +1.425V without sacrificing stability or transient
performance. The output voltage of all the regulators is
adjustable from 0.5V to VIN and is ±2% accurate over
load and line variations, from -40°C to +125°C. Since
these regulators have a pMOS output device, supply
current is not a significant function of load or input head-
room.

Functional Diagram
Internal p-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX15029/MAX15030 feature a 75mΩ (typ) p-chan-
nel MOSFET pass transistor. Unlike similar designs using
pnp pass transistors, p-channel MOSFETs require no
base drive, reducing quiescent current. pnp-based regula-
tors also waste considerable current in dropout when the
pass transistor saturates and uses high base-drive cur-
rents under large loads. The MAX15029/MAX15030 do
not suffer from these problems and consume only 315μA
(typ) of quiescent current under heavy loads, as well as
in dropout.
Short-Circuit/Thermal-Fault Protection
The MAX15029/MAX15030 are fully protected from a
short circuit at the output through current-limiting and
thermal-overload circuitry. In the fault condition when the
output is shorted to ground, the output current is limited
to a maximum of 1A. Under these conditions, the device
quickly heats up. When the junction temperature reaches
+165°C (typ), the thermal-overload circuitry turns off the
output, allowing the part to cool down. When the junction
temperature cools to +150°C (typ), the output turns back
on and reestablishes regulation. Current limiting and
thermal protection continue until the fault is removed.
For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute
maximum junction-temperature rating of TJ = +150°C.
Soft-Start
The MAX15029/MAX15030 feature a soft-start function
that slowly ramps up the output voltage of the regulator
based on the value of the capacitor (CSS) connected
from SS to GND. Upon power-up, CSS is charged with
a 5μA (typ) current source through SS. The voltage at
SS is compared to the internal 0.5V reference (VREF).
The feedback voltage for regulation (VREG) is the lower
of VSS or VREF. As VSS rises, the regulation voltage
(VREG) rises at the same rate. Once VSS reaches and
rises above VREF, the regulation voltage then tracks the
reference voltage since it is the lower of VSS and VREF.
The value of CSS determines the length of the soft-start
time, tSS. Use the following formula to determine CSS.
CSS = 10-5 x tSS
where CSS is in farads and tSS is in seconds.
Shutdown Mode
The MAX15029/MAX15030 include an enable input. To
shut down the IC, drive EN low. In shutdown mode, the
current drawn by BIAS is less than 2μA. This feature is
extremely useful in an automotive application where the
BIAS input is derived from an always-on LDO expecting to
provide minimal dark current. For normal operation, drive
EN high or connect EN to IN for continuous on operation.
During shutdown, an internal 10kΩ resistor is connected
between OUT and GND.
Applications Information
Programming the Output Voltage
The MAX15029/MAX15030 feature an adjustable output
voltage from 0.5V to VIN using two external resistors
connected as a voltage-divider to FB, as shown in Figure
1. The output voltage is set by the following equation:
OUT FB R1
V V1
R2
= +
where typically VFB = 0.5V. Choose R2 to be 10kΩ. Or,
to optimize load-transient response for no load to full load
transients, use the resistor-divider as a minimum load and
choose R2 to be 500Ω. To simplify resistor selection:

Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability
Capacitors are required at the MAX15029/MAX15030’s
inputs and outputs for stable operation over the full
temperature range and with load currents up to 500mA.
Connect a 1μF capacitor between IN and ground and
a 2.2μF capacitor with low equivalent series resistance
(ESR) between OUT and ground for 500mA output current.
The input capacitor (CIN) lowers the source impedance
of the input supply. If input supply source impedance is
high, place a larger input capacitor close to IN to prevent
VIN sagging due to load transients. Smaller output capaci-
tors can be used for output currents less than 500mA.
Calculate the minimum COUT as follows:
OUT OUT(MAX) 1µ F
CI 0.25A
= ×
Operating Region and Power Dissipation
The maximum power dissipation depends on the ther-
mal resistance of the IC package and circuit board, the
temperature difference between the die junction and
ambient air, and the rate of airflow. The power dissipated
in the device is PDISS = IOUT (VIN - VOUT). The pack-
age features an exposed thermal pad on its underside.
This pad lowers the thermal resistance of the package
by providing a direct heat conduction path from the die
to the PCB. Additionally, the ground pins (GND) perform
the dual function of providing an electrical connection to
system ground and channeling heat away. Connect the
exposed backside pad and GND to the system ground
using a large pad or ground plane and multiple vias to the
ground plane layer.
Noise, PSRR, and Transient Response
The MAX15029/MAX15030 are designed to operate
with low-dropout voltages and low quiescent currents
while still maintaining good noise performance, transient
response, and AC rejection (see the Typical Operating
Characteristics). When operating from noisy sources,
improved supply-noise rejection and transient response
can be achieved by increasing the values of the input
and output bypass capacitors and through passive fil-
tering techniques. The MAX15029/MAX15030 load-
transient response graphs (see the Typical Operating
Characteristics) show two components of the output
response: a DC shift from the output impedance due to
the load current change, and the transient response. A
typical transient overshoot for a step change in the load
current from 100mA to 500mA is 10mV. Use ceramic
output capacitors greater than 2.2μF (up to 100μF) to
attenuate the overshoot.
Layout Guidelines
The TDFN package has an exposed thermal pad on its
underside. This pad provides a low thermal resistance
path for heat transfer into the PCB. This low thermally
resistive path carries a majority of the heat away from
the IC. The PCB is effectively a heatsink for the IC. The
exposed pad should be connected to a large ground
plane for proper thermal and electrical performance. The
minimum size of the ground plane is dependent upon
many system variables. To create an efficient path, the
exposed pad should be soldered to a thermal landing,
which is connected to the ground plane by thermal vias.
The thermal landing should be at least as large as the
exposed pad.
