The MAX15006BASA/V+T is a voltage regulator of the Linear type, commonly encountered in Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC). This device acts as a low-power shunt regulator, used to supply precision voltages to both digital and analogue circuits in a wide range of applications.

The MAX15006BASA/V+T is designed to offer a combination of superior accuracy, wide operating temperature range, low drop-out, and low quiescent current. This linear voltage regulator has several advantages, including good line and load regulation, simple and economic design, low power dissipation, and superior linearity. It also offers short-circuit protection and is used in several domains, including automotive, portable electronics, and battery-operated applications.

Working Principle

The MAX15006BASA/V+T employs the typical shunt regulator topology, which uses an upper-path transistor in combination with a lower-path transistor. The circuit is driven by a sensing element, which is connected to Vin, the input voltage. At the output terminal, the voltage Vo is regulated against regulation voltage, Vref. The feedback voltage of Vref is set by a bandgap reference or resistive divider.

The upper-path transistor serves two functions: To supply the base current of the lower-path transistor and to control the pass voltage Vo. It is driven by the input voltage, Vin, in such a way that when Vin rises, the upper-path transistor conducts more current and shuts off the lower-path transistor, thereby decreasing the output voltage Vo. On the other hand, when Vin drops, the upper-path transistor conducts less current and enables the lower-path transistor to start conducting, thus increasing the output voltage.

The voltage reference source (bandgap reference or resistor divider network) provides a reference voltage, usually in the range of 0.3V to 3.3V, to the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the reference voltage to the voltage at Vo and adjusts the base current of the upper-path transistor accordingly. When the Vo increases, the error amplifier reduces the base current of the upper-path transistor and vice-versa.
