GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
o Internal Power MOSFETs with Current Limit (3A typ) o Fast Load-Transient Response o External Reference Input with Reference Output Buffer o 1.1V to 3.6V Power Input o ±15mV (max) Load-Regulation Error o Thermal Fault Protection o Shutdown Input o Power-Good Window Comparator with 2ms (typ) Delay o Small, Low-Profile 10-Pin 3mm x 3mm TDFN Package o Ceramic or Polymer Output Capacitors MAX1510 The MAX1510 provides current and thermal limits to prevent damage to the linear regulator. Additionally, the MAX1510 generates a power-good (PGOOD) signal to indicate that the output is in regulation. During startup, PGOOD remains low until the output is in regulation for 2ms (typ). The internal soft-start limits the input surge current. The MAX1510 powers the active-DDR termination bus that requires a tracking input reference. The MAX1510 can also be used in low-power chipsets and graphics processor cores that require dynamically adjustable output voltages. The MAX1510 is available in a 10-pin 3mm x 3mm thin DFN package.
