Detailed Description
The MAX5087 high-voltage linear regulator includes
an integrated μP reset circuit with an adjustable reset
timeout period (see the Adjustable Reset Timeout Period
(CT) section). The device guarantees a 400mA load cur-
rent and is available with a preset output voltage of 3.3V
(MAX5087A) or 5V (MAX5087B). Both devices can be
configured to provide an adjustable output voltage from
2.5V to 11V. The internal reset circuit monitors the regula-
tor output voltage and asserts RESET low when the regu-
lator output falls below the reset threshold voltage. Other
features include an enable (regulator control input), 21μA
(max) shutdown current, short-circuit protection (see the
Output Short-Circuit Current Limit section), and thermal
shutdown (see the Thermal Protection section).
Regulator
The MAX5087 accepts an input voltage range from 6.5V
to 45V and offers a fixed output voltage of 3.3V or 5V. For
an adjustable output voltage operation, use an external
resistive divider network connected between OUT, SET,
and GND (see Figure 2).
Enable Input (EN)
EN is a logic-level enable input that turns the device on/
off. Drive EN high to turn on the device and drive EN low
to place the device in shutdown. The MAX5087 draws
11μA (typ) of supply current when in shutdown. EN with-
stands voltages up to +45V, allowing EN to be connected
to IN for an always-on operation.
Remote Sensing (OUTSENSE)
The 3.3V (MAX5087A) and 5V (MAX5087B) output
voltage versions connect OUTSENSE for load voltage
sensing. Leave OUTSENSE open when using adjustable
output voltage version.
Reset Output (RESET)
A supervisor circuit is fully integrated in the MAX5087 and
uses the same reference voltage as the regulator. RESET
goes low if VOUT drops below the preset output voltage
threshold, and remains low at least for the timeout period
after VOUT rises above the reset voltage threshold.
Adjustable Reset Timeout Period (CT)
The MAX5087 features a user-adjustable reset timeout.
Connect a capacitor from CT to GND to set the reset time-
out period (see Figure 2) and use the following equation
to calculate the timeout period:
tRP = CCT x 0.6175 x 106 (s)
where CCT is the value of the external capacitor con-
nected from CT to GND.
Thermal Protection
When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +175°C, an
internal thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic, which
turns off the pass transistor, allowing the IC to cool. The
thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on again after
the IC’s junction temperature cools by 25°C, resulting in
a cycled output during continuous thermaloverload condi-
tions. Thermal protection protects the MAX5087 in the
event of fault conditions. During continuous operation, do
not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature
rating of TJ = +150°C.
Output Short-Circuit Current Limit
The MAX5087 features a current limit. The output can be
shorted to GND for an indefinite period of time (for VIN <
14V) without damage to the device. Continuous output
short-circuit protection is only guaranteed for VIN < 14V.
