Low-Noise, Low-Dropout,
150mA Linear Regulators in SOT23
_______________General Description
____________________________Features
The MAX8867/MAX8868 low-noise, low-dropout linear
regulators operate from a 2.5V to 6.5V input and deliver
up to 150mA. Typical output noise for these devices is
ꢀ Low Output Noise: 30µV
RMS
ꢀ Low 55mV Dropout at 50mA Output
(165mV at 150mA output)
just 30µV
, and typical dropout is only 165mV at
RMS
150mA. The output voltage is preset to voltages in the
range of 2.5V to 5.0V, in 100mV increments. The
MAX8867 and MAX8868 are pin-compatible with the
MAX8863 and MAX8864, except for the BP pin.
ꢀ Low 85µA No-Load Supply Current
ꢀ Low 100µA Operating Supply Current
(even in dropout)
Designed with an internal P-channel MOSFET pass
transistor, the MAX8867/MAX8868 maintain a low
100µA supply current, independent of the load current
and dropout voltage. Other features include a 10nA
logic-controlled shutdown mode, short-circuit and ther-
mal-shutdown protection, and reverse battery protec-
tion. The MAX8868 also includes an auto-discharge
function, which actively discharges the output voltage
to ground when the device is placed in shutdown. Both
devices come in a miniature 5-pin SOT23 package.
ꢀ Thermal-Overload and Short-Circuit Protection
ꢀ Reverse Battery Protection
ꢀ Output Current Limit
ꢀ Preset Output Voltages ( 1.4% accuracy)
ꢀ 10nA Logic-Controlled Shutdown
