Low-Dropout, 300mA
Linear Regulator in µMAX
General Description
The MAX8860 low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator
operates from a 2.5V to 6.5V input and is guaranteed to
deliver 300mA. Typical output noise for this device is
60µV
RMS
, and typical dropout is 105mV at 200mA. In
addition to the six available preset output voltages
(1.8V, 2.5V, 2.77V, 2.82V, 3V, and 3.3V), the Dual
Mode™ feature allows the device to be configured as
an adjustable output regulator from 1.25V to 6.5V.
Designed with an internal P-channel MOSFET pass tran-
sistor, the MAX8860 has a low 120µA supply current. An
output fault-detection circuit indicates loss of regulation.
Other features include a 10nA, logic-controlled shut-
down mode, short-circuit and thermal-shutdown protec-
tion, and reverse battery protection. The MAX8860 is
available in a miniature 8-pin µMAX package.

Regulator Output. Bypass with 2.2µF, low-ESR capacitor to GND for stable operation.
Supply Input. Connect to power source (2.5V to 6.5V). Bypass with 2.2µF capacitor to GND.
Ground
Output Voltage Set. Connect to GND for internally set threshold. Connect to resistor-divider for adjustable
output voltages. See
the Output Voltage Selection
section for more information.
Compensation Capacitor. Connect a 0.033µF capacitor from CC to GND.
Shutdown Input. Connect to IN for normal operation. Drive

Fault Output. A high-impedance, open-drain output. When the MAX8860 is out of regulation,

FAULT
pin is high impedance. Connect to GND if unused.
Detailed Description
The MAX8860 is a low-dropout, low-quiescent-current
linear regulator designed primarily for battery-powered
applications. It supplies an adjustable 1.25V to
6.5V output voltage or a fixed-voltage output of 1.8V
(MAX8860EUA18), 2.5V (MAX8860EUA25), 2.77V
(MAX8860EUA27), 2.82V (MAX8860EUA28), 3.0V
(MAX8860EUA30), or 3.3V (MAX8860EUA33) for load
currents up to 300mA. The devices with 2.77V and
2.82V nominal outputs are designed to guarantee mini-
mum output voltages of 2.70V and 2.75V, respectively.
The device consists of a 1.25V reference, error amplifi-
er, MOSFET driver, P-channel pass transistor, Dual
Mode comparator, fault detector, and internal-feedback
voltage divider (Figure 1).
The 1.25V bandgap reference is connected to the error
amplifier’s inverting input. The error amplifier compares
this reference to the selected feedback voltage and
amplifies the difference. The MOSFET driver reads the
error signal and applies the appropriate drive to the P-
channel pass transistor. If the feedback voltage is lower
than the reference voltage, the pass-transistor gate is
pulled lower, allowing more current to pass and
increasing the output voltage. If the feedback voltage
is higher than the reference voltage, the pass-transistor
gate is driven higher, allowing less current to pass to
the output. The output voltage is fed back through
either an internal resistor voltage divider connected to
OUT, or an external resistor network connected to SET.
The Dual Mode comparator examines V
SET
and selects
the feedback path. If V
SET
is below 60mV, internal
feedback is used and the output voltage is regulated to
the preset output voltage. Additional blocks include an
output current limiter, reverse battery protection, a ther-
mal sensor, a fault detector, and shutdown logic.
