+5V/Programmable Low-Dropout
Voltage Regulator
_______________General Description
The MAX667 low-dropout, positive, linear voltage regu-
lator supplies up to 250mA of output current. With no
load, it has a typical quiescent current of 20µA. At
200mA of output current, the input/output voltage differ-
ential is typically 150mV. Other features include a low-
voltage detector to indicate power failure, as well as
early-warning and low-dropout detectors to indicate an
imminent loss of output voltage regulation. A shutdown
control disables the output and puts the circuit into a
low quiescent-current mode.
The MAX667 employs Dual Mode™ operation. One
mode uses internally trimmed feedback resistors to pro-
duce +5V. In the other mode, the output may be varied
from +1.3V to +16V by connecting two external resistors.
The MAX667 is a pin-compatible upgrade to the
MAX666 in most applications where the input voltages
are above +3.5V. Choose the MAX667 when high out-
put currents and/or low dropout voltages are desired,
as well as for improved performance at higher
temperatures.

PIN
NAME
FUNCTION
Dropout Detector Output—the collec-
tor of a PNP pass transistor. Normally
an open circuit, it sources current as
dropout is reached.
Regulated Output Voltage. OUT falls
to 0V when SHDN is above 1.5V. SET
determines output voltage when SET
is above 50mV; otherwise, it is 5V.
OUT must be connected to an output
filter capacitor.
Low-Battery Detector. A CMOS input
to an internal 1.255V comparator
whose output is the LBO pin.
Ground
Shutdown Input. Connect to GND for
normal operation (output active). Pull
above 1.5V to disable OUT, LBO, and
DD and to reduce quiescent current to
less than 1µA.
(Output) Voltage Set, CMOS Input.
Connect to GND for 5V output. For
other voltages, connect external resis-
tive divider from OUT.
Low-Battery Output. An open-drain N-
channel transistor that sinks current to
GND when LBI is less than 1.22V.
Positive Input Voltage (unregulated)
_______________Detailed Description
Figure 1 shows a micropower bandgap reference, an
error amplifier, a PNP pass transistor, and two com-
parators as the main elements of the MAX667. One
comparator, C1, selects the fixed 5V or adjustable
operation with an external voltage divider. The other
comparator, C2, is a low-battery detector.
The bandgap reference, which is trimmed to 1.22V,
connects internally to one input of the error amplifier,
A1. The feedback signal from the regulator output sup-
plies the other input of A1 from either an on-chip volt-
age divider or two external resistors. When SET is
grounded, the internal divider provides the error ampli-
fier feedback signal for a fixed 5V output. When SET is
more than 50mV above ground, the error amplifier’s
input switches directly to SET while an external resistor
divider from OUT determines the output voltage.
A second comparator, C2, compares the LBI input to
the internal reference voltage. LBO is an open-drain
FET connected to GND. The low-battery threshold can
also be set with a voltage divider at LBI. In addition, the
MAX667 has a shutdown input (SHDN) that disables
the load and the device while reducing quiescent cur-
rent when it is pulled high.
