500mA, Low-Voltage Linear Regulator
in Tiny QFN
General Description
The MAX1935 low-dropout linear regulator operates
from a 2.25V to 5.5V supply and delivers a guaranteed
500mA load current with low 175mV dropout. The high-
accuracy (±1.5%) output voltage is preset at an inter-
nally trimmed voltage or can be adjusted from 0.8V to
4.5V with an external resistive-divider.
An internal PMOS pass transistor allows low 210µA
supply current, making this device ideal for portable
equipment such as personal digital assistants (PDAs),
cellular phones, cordless phones, and other equip-
ment, including base stations and docking stations.
Other features include an active-low, power-OK output
that indicates when the output is out of regulation, a
0.02µA shutdown mode, short-circuit protection, and
thermal-shutdown protection. The MAX1935 comes in a
tiny 1.9W, 8-pin 3mm x 3mm thin QFN 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.
