5V 50mA LDO for harsh automotive and industrial rails
The Maxim Integrated MAX15006BASA+ is a fixed 5V output linear regulator delivering 50mA, built to handle input rails up to 40V. Its 17 µA quiescent current makes it a fit for always-on loads in automotive ECUs, industrial sensors, or any system where standby power matters. The -40°C to 125°C operating range and 8-SOIC-EP package with exposed pad mean it can sit on a hot PCB near a motor driver or under-hood module without derating surprises.
Dropout and ripple rejection — what they mean for your rail
Dropout voltage maxes at 0.525 V at the full 50 mA load. The 66 dB PSRR at 100 Hz indicates output stability against ripple.
Protection and package
Built-in over-temperature and short-circuit protection mean the part shuts itself down before letting smoke out. The 8-SOIC-EP (exposed pad) requires a thermal land on the PCB to pull heat away — not optional if you plan to run near the 125°C limit or at full current.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The MAX15006BASA+ carries an active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant.
