Low-Dropout, 120mA Linear Regulators
_______________General Description
The MAX8863T/S/R and MAX8864T/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, 80µA supply current to remain inde-
pendent of load, making these devices ideal for
battery-operated portable equipment such as cellular
phones, cordless phones, and modems.
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. Other fea-
tures include low-power shutdown, short-circuit protec-
tion, thermal shutdown protection, and reverse battery
protection. The MAX8864 also includes an auto-dis-
charge function, which actively discharges the output
voltage to ground when the device is placed in shut-
down mode. Both devices come in a miniature 5-pin
SOT23-5 package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
Limits are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through cor-
relation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) Methods.
Note 2:
Guaranteed by line regulation test.
Note 3:
Adjustable mode only.
Note 4:
Not tested. For design purposes, the current limit should be considered 120mA minimum to 420mA maximum.
Note 5:
The dropout voltage is defined as (V
IN
- V
OUT
) when V
OUT
is 100mV below the value of V
OUT
for V
IN
= V
OUT
+2V.
