MAX8873T/S/R, MAX8874T/S/R
Low-Dropout, 120mA Linear Regulators
_______________General Description
____________________________Features
o LP2980 Pin-Compatible SOT23 Package
The MAX8873T/S/R and MAX8874T/S/R low-dropout lin-
ear regulators operate from a +2.5V to +6.5V input
range and deliver up to 120mA. A PMOS pass transis-
tor allows the low, 82µA supply current to remain inde-
pendent of load, making these devices ideal for
battery-operated portable equipment such as cellular
phones and cordless phones.
o Low, 55mV Dropout Voltage at 50mA I
(130mV at 120mA)
OUT
o Low, 73µA No-Load Supply Current
Low, 82µA Operating Supply Current (even in
dropout)
The devices feature Dual Mode™ operation: their out-
put voltage is preset (at 3.15V for the T versions, 2.84V
for the S versions, or 2.80V for the R versions) or can be
adjusted with an external resistor divider. Total error on
the output is 3.5ꢀ. Output voltages are set on the low
side of popular ranges so that power drain is minimized
for longer battery life. Other features include low-power
shutdown, short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown
protection, and reverse battery protection. The
MAX8874 also includes an auto-discharge function,
which actively discharges the output voltage to ground
when the device is placed in shutdown mode. Both
devices come in a miniature 5-pin SOT23 package.
