GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N
ADP3333 is a member of the ADP333x family of precision low
dropout anyCAP voltage regulators. Pin-compatible with the
MAX8860, the ADP3333 operates with a wider input voltage
range of 2.6 V to 12 V and delivers a load current up to 300 mA.
ADP3333 stands out from other conventional LDOs with a
novel architecture and an enhanced process that enables it to
offer performance advantages over its competition. Its patented
design requires only a 1.0 µF output capacitor for stability. T his
device is insensitive to output capacitor Equivalent Series Resis-
tance (ESR), and is stable with any good quality capacitor,
including ceramic (MLCC) types for space-restricted applica-
tions. ADP3333 achieves exceptional accuracy of ±0.8% at
room temperature and ±1.8% over temperature, line and load
variations. T he dropout voltage of ADP3333 is only 140 mV
(typical) at 300 mA. T his device also includes a safety current
limit, thermal overload protection and a shutdown feature. In
shutdown mode, the ground current is reduced to less than
1 µA. T he ADP3333 has ultralow quiescent current, 70 µA (typ)
in light load situations.
