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-
p e nd e nt of loa d , ma king the s e d e vic e s id e a l for
battery-operated portable equipment such as cellular
phones and cordless phones.

♦ 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 ±3.5%. 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
p rote c tion, a nd re ve rs e b a tte ry p rote c tion. 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.

♦ Thermal Overload Protection
♦ Output Current Limit
♦ Reverse Battery Protection
♦ Dual Mode Operation: Fixed or Adjustable
(1.25V to 6.5V) Output
♦ Low-Power Shutdown
