GENERAL DESCRIPTION
o 1.425V to 3.6V Input Voltage Range FEATURES
o Output Voltage Programmable from 0.5V to VIN o Guaranteed Maximum 150mV Dropout at 500mA Output Current o 2% Output Accuracy Over Load, Line, and Temperature o Stable with Ceramic Capacitors o Fast Transient Response o 60µA Operating Bias Supply Current o 1.2µA Shutdown Bias Supply Current o Short-Circuit and Thermal Protection o -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature Range o Soft-Start Limits Inrush Current o Thermally Enhanced 3mm x 3mm TDFN Package MAX15029/MAX15030 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 transient 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.
