Frequently Asked Questions
What output noise level does the MAX38902CANT+ achieve, and why does it matter for RF applications?
The MAX38902CANT+ delivers an output noise of 10.5 µVRMS, which is among the lowest in its class of 500 mA LDOs. For RF circuits such as VCOs and PLLs, supply noise directly contributes to phase noise and degrades receiver sensitivity. Keeping supply noise below 20 µVRMS helps maintain EVM performance in LTE and 5G sub-6 GHz front-ends.
How does the 63 mV typical dropout voltage of the MAX38902CANT+ benefit battery-powered designs?
With a 63 mV typical dropout voltage and 300 mV maximum at 500 mA, the MAX38902CANT+ allows the input voltage to come within 300 mV of the regulated output without losing regulation. This extends usable battery life in Li-ion powered devices operating near end-of-discharge, and reduces power dissipation at full 500 mA load compared to higher-dropout alternatives.
For a precision 16-bit ADC supply, how does the MAX38902CANT+ load regulation performance translate to measurement accuracy?
The MAX38902CANT+ achieves a maximum load regulation of 0.06%, meaning the output voltage shifts by no more than 0.6 mV per 1 A of load change. For a 16-bit ADC referenced to the LDO output at 1.8 V, this corresponds to less than 1 LSB error induced by supply variation, preserving full-scale ADC accuracy across dynamic load conditions in data acquisition systems.
