Ultra-Low-Noise, High PSRR,
Low-Dropout, 120mA Linear Regulators
General Description
The MAX8510/MAX8511/MAX8512 ultra-low-noise, low-
dropout (LDO) linear regulators are designed to deliver
up to 120mA continuous output current. These regula-
tors achieve a low 120mV dropout for 120mA load cur-
rent. The MAX8510 uses an advanced architecture to
achieve ultra-low output voltage noise of 11µV
RMS
and
PSRR of 54dB at 100kHz.
The MAX8511 does not require a bypass capacitor,
hence achieving the smallest PC board area. The
MAX8512’s output voltage can be adjusted with an
external divider.
The MAX8510/MAX8511 are preset to a variety of volt-
ages in the 1.5V to 4.5V range. Designed with a P-channel
MOSFET series pass transistor, the MAX8510/MAX8511/
MAX8512 maintain very low ground current (40µA).
The regulators are designed and optimized to work with
low-value, low-cost ceramic capacitors. The MAX8510
requires only 1µF (typ) of output capacitance for stability
with any load. When disabled, current consumption drops
to below 1µA.
Package options include a 5-pin SC70 and a tiny 2mm x
2mm x 0.8mm TDFN package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
