General Description
The MAX15029/MAX15030 low-dropout linear regulators operate from input voltages as low as 1.425V and deliver up to 500mA of continuous output current with a typical dropout voltage of only 40mV. The output voltage is adjustable from 0.5V to VIN and is ±2% accurate over load and line variations, from -40°C to +125°C. The MAX15030 features a BIAS input of 3V to 5.5V from an always-on power supply. The BIAS input current is reduced down to less than 2µA during the shutdown.
