Voltage Regulator Assistant
Everyone will be familiar with the problem of
voltage drop across wires, connectors or fil-
tering components such as inductors, which
force the voltage at the regulator output to be
set higher than the circuit operating voltage. If
the current drawn falls then the operating
voltage rises above its nominal value; when
the current rises, the voltage falls.
Assistance here comes in the form of the
four-input MAX1804
Feedback Integrator
, a
novel product from Maxim (
www.maxim-
ic.com
). The device can be connected to
your favourite voltage regulator and will inter-
vene in its feedback loop if any of its four
inputs is fed with too low a voltage. The
MAX1804 manages the fine control of the reg-
ulator output voltage by increasing it until the
lowest voltage of those sensed is made cor-
rect. Unused inputs to the MAX1804 are auto-
matically disabled if the voltage present is
below 90 % of the nominal value. The
MAX1804 will therefore not intervene in the feedback loop
if the voltage drop is too great. The device is designed for
supply voltages between +2.7 V and +5.5 V. It is supplied
directly from the output of the controlled regulator.
The OUT connection of the MAX1804 is connected to the
feedback pin of the regulator via R3, which has a rather
higher value than R1 or R2. The OUT pin draws as much

current as necessary to ground to force the regulator to
raise its output voltage to bring the lowest of the MAX1804
inputs to four times the voltage on the ADJ pin. The voltage
on ADJ can be provided by a reference voltage generated
by the regulator, or, if this is not available, by an external
voltage reference or Zener diode. The available control
range can be set via R3: in the limit, R3 is effectively in par-

The COMP pin is used for compensating the regulation
loop. The manufacturer recommends a compensation
capacitor of 470 pF.
The shutdown pin (SHDN) forces all four inputs and the
output into a high-impedance state, so that the MAX1804
can no longer affect the regulator.
