The MAX16910CASA9/V+ is a single-output positive LDO regulator from Analog Devices, part of the Automotive, AEC-Q100 series. It delivers 200 mA continuous output with a dropout voltage of 0.6 V max at full load, and accepts an input up to 30 V — enough to survive a 12 V battery load-dump transient without an external clamp. The 60 dB PSRR at 100 Hz means the regulator attenuates 100 Hz ripple (e.g., from a rectified alternator or DC-DC converter) by a factor of 1000 — critical for keeping noise off a 5 V analog sensor supply or a CAN transceiver rail in an ECU.
Package and thermal — 8-SOIC with exposed pad
The exposed pad also provides a low-impedance ground return for the output capacitor. Surface-mount assembly with tube packaging — the tube format suits low-volume prototyping and rework; for high-volume pick-and-place, confirm the tube-to-reel transfer with your feeder setup.
Output flexibility and protection
The Enable and Reset control features allow sequencing and brown-out monitoring without an external supervisor. On-chip protection includes over-temperature shutdown and short-circuit current limiting — the regulator survives a sustained output short at high ambient without thermal runaway. Quiescent current is 30 µA typical, keeping the always-on rail draw low in battery-backed systems where the regulator powers a wake-up receiver or RTC.
