The MAX5091 high-voltage linear regulator is designed
to operate from a +5V to +28V input voltage, and withstands up to 40V transients. The device consumes only
45µA of quiescent current at 100µA output current. The
MAX5091 delivers up to 100mA of output current with
low 50mV maximum dropout voltage. The MAX5091
provides an active-low open-drain microprocessor
RESET output. The reset timeout period is programmable and can be set with an external capacitor. The
MAX5091 includes an uncommitted comparator for
input voltage monitoring/power-fail indication. The
device is available with a fixed +5V (MAX5091A) or
+3.3V (MAX5091B) output. The MAX5091 is short-circuit protected and includes thermal shutdown.
The MAX5091 operates over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range and is available in 8-pin,
thermally enhanced TDFN and SO-EP packages.

Typical Operating Characteristics (continued)
(Typical Application Circuit, VS= +14V, CIN= 10µF, C
The MAX5091 high-voltage, LDO regulator operates
from +5V to +28V input voltage. The device withstands
up to 40V transients, providing protection against temporary overvoltage conditions like load dump. The
MAX5091 incorporates internal feedback resistors for
factory-preset voltages of either +5V (MAX5091A) or
+3.3V (MAX5091B). The regulator is capable of driving
up to 100mA of load current and features a typical current limit of 260mA. The regulator uses a pnp pass element and provides low 0.5V dropout while delivering
100mA load current. The output of the regulator follows
closely to the input during turn-on. See the Output
Voltage vs. Input Voltage graph in the TypicalOperating Characteristics. This makes the usable input
voltage range for 3.3V and 5V output down to 3.7V and
5.5V, respectively. The MAX5091 is designed to operate with very low quiescent current during always-on
operation when not in dropout. The regulator is stable
with a wide variety of capacitors including low-ESR
ceramic 10µF (0603 case size). The load-transient
response curves depict the stability of the LDO when
using different capacitance and ESR ranges. See the
Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability section in
the Applications Information.
Reset Output (
RES
)
The MAX5091 integrates a power-on-reset circuit. RES
is an open-drain output that requires a pullup resistor to
V
OUT
. The open-drain MOSFET can sink up to 825µA
current while keeping the RES voltage below 0.4V. The
internal reset circuit monitors the regulator output voltage and RES asserts an active-low output when the
regulator output falls below a reset threshold of typically 0.9 x V
OUT
. The RES output remains low when V
OUT
is below the reset threshold, and remains low for the
duration of the reset timeout period (tRD). The reset
timeout period is programmable and can be set with an
external capacitor connected from CT to ground. The
duration of the delay as a function of CT is:
The default reset timeout period is 35µs when no
capacitor is connected from CT to ground.
SI/SO Comparator
The MAX5091 includes an uncommitted comparator for
monitoring the input voltage or for detecting power-fail
conditions. The input SI is the noninverting input of the
comparator. The open-drain output SO asserts low
when voltage at the input SI drops below the threshold
voltage, V
ST
(see Figure 1). The sense comparator typically has a hysteresis of 100mV. Use the following
equation to calculate the resistor-divider for programming the trip voltage (V
TRIP
) during power-fail. See the
Typical Application Circuit.
where V
ST
= 1.16V (typ). Choose RLbetween 100kΩ to
300kΩ.
Enable Input
The enable (EN) is a TTL-compatible logic input. Logic
low at EN turns off the regulator and reduces the current consumption to 17µA (typ). It is internally pulled up
to a logic-high voltage (3.6V max) by an internal resistor. Thus, the MAX5091 is enabled by default when V
S
is applied and EN is left unconnected. The regulator,
reset supervisor circuit, and the sense comparator can
be manually shut down by pulling EN low. For shutdown operation, the pulldown network must be capable
of sinking 3µA max, since the internal pullup resistor
sets the maximum pullup current at 3µA. The external
pulldown device should not leak more than 1µA current
when it is in the off-state.
Current Limit
The MAX5091 features a current limiter that monitors
the output current and controls the pass transistor’s
gate voltage, limiting the output current to typically
260mA. The output can be continuously shorted to
ground without damaging the device at VS≤ 16V. Note
that the output short-circuit current may increase the
power dissipation significantly and raise the junction
temperature to its thermal-shutdown threshold. In such
a case, the MAX5091 is temporarily turned off.
Thermal Shutdown
When the junction temperature exceeds TJ= +165°C
(typ), an internal thermal sensor signals the shutdown
logic to turn off the pass transistor and allow the IC to
cool. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on
again after the IC’s junction temperature cools by
+20°C (typ), resulting in a cycled output during continuous thermal-overload conditions. Thermal shutdown
protects the MAX5091 in the event of fault conditions.
For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute
maximum junction temperature of TJ= +150°C.
The MAX5091 high-voltage regulator provides up to
100mA of output current. The input voltage extends to
+28V. Package power dissipation limits the amount of
output current available for a given input/output voltage
and ambient temperature. Figure 2 depicts the maximum power dissipation curve for the 8-pin SO-EP package. The graph assumes that the exposed metal back
of the MAX5091 package is soldered to copper on a
single layer PCB according to the JEDEC51 standard.
Use Figure 2 to determine the allowable package dissipation for a given ambient temperature. Alternately, use
the following formula to calculate the allowable package dissipation:
After determining the allowable package dissipation, calculate the maximum output current using the following
formula:
The above equations do not include the power dissipation
from self-heating due to the IC ground current.
The junction-to-ambient thermal impedance depends
on the area of the copper plane, its thickness, and the
number of copper layers on PCB. For the higher power
dissipation requirement, use multiple-layered PCBs
with 2oz copper and a large copper area.
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
For stable operation over the full temperature range and
with load currents up to 100mA, use a 10µF output
capacitor with a low ESR. Table 1 shows a list of recommended output capacitor ESR for various load conditions.
