General Description

The MAX1510/MAX17510 DDR linear regulators source and sink up to 3A peak (typ) using internal n-channel MOSFETs. These linear regulators deliver an accurate 0.5V to 1.5V output from a low-voltage power input (VIN = 1.1V to 3.6V). The MAX1510/MAX17510 use a separate 3.3V bias supply to power the control circuitry and drive the internal n-channel MOSFETs.
