MAX8875
General Description
The MAX8875 low-dropout linear regulator operates from
a +2.5V to +6.5V input range and delivers up to 150mA.
A P-channel MOSFET pass transistor allows its 85µA supply current to remain independent of the load, making this
device ideal for battery-operated portable equipment
such as PCS phones, cellular phones, cordless phones,
and modems.
The MAX8875 features a power-OK (POK) output that indicates when the output is out of regulation. The device is
available in several preset output voltage versions: 5.0V,
3.3V, 3.0V, 2.7V, 2.5V, or 1.5V. Other features include 1µA
(max) shutdown current, short-circuit protection, thermal
shutdown protection, and reverse-battery protection. The
device comes in a miniature 5-pin SOT23 package.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX8875 is a low-dropout, low-quiescent-current
linear regulator designed primarily for battery-powered
applications. The device supplies loads up to 150mA
and is available with preset output voltages of 1.5V,
2.5V, 2.7V, 3.0V, 3.3V, or 5.0V. As illustrated in Figure
1, the MAX8875 consists of a 1.25V reference, error
amplifier, P-channel pass transistor, power-OK comparator, and internal feedback voltage divider.
The 1.25V bandgap reference is connected to the error
amplifier’s inverting input. The error amplifier compares
6
this reference with the feedback voltage and amplifies
the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the
reference voltage, the pass-transistor gate is pulled
lower, which allows more current to pass to the output
and increases the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is too high, the pass-transistor gate is pulled up,
allowing less current to pass to the output. The output
voltage feeds back through an internal resistor voltage
divider connected to the OUT pin.
Additional blocks include a current limiter, reversebattery protection, thermal sensor, and shutdown logic.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
150mA, Low-Dropout Linear Regulator
with Power-OK Output
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX8875 features a 1.1Ω (typ) P-channel MOSFET
pass transistor. This provides several advantages over
similar designs using PNP pass transistors, including
longer battery life. The P-channel MOSFET requires no
base drive, which reduces quiescent current significantly. PNP-based regulators waste considerable
current in dropout when the pass transistor saturates.
They also use high base-drive currents under large
loads. The MAX8875 does not suffer from these problems and consumes only 100µA of quiescent current
whether in dropout, light-load, or heavy-load applications (see Typical Operating Characteristics).
Power-OK Output (POK)
When the output voltage goes out of regulation—as during dropout, current limit, or thermal shutdown—POK
goes low. POK is an open-drain N-channel MOSFET. To
obtain a logic-level output, connect a pull-up resistor
from POK to OUT. To minimize current consumption,
make this resistor as large as practical. A 100kΩ resistor
works well for most applications. A capacitor to GND
may be added to generate a power-on-reset (POR)
delay. The POK function is not active during shutdown.
POK also provides a power-on-reset function that can
operate down to VIN ≤ 1V. See POK Startup Response
in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
Current Limit
The MAX8875 includes a current limiter that monitors
and controls the pass transistor’s gate voltage, limiting
the output current to 390mA (typ). For design purposes, consider the current limit to be 160mA min to
600mA max. The output can be shorted to ground for
an indefinite period of time without damaging the part.
Thermal-Overload Protection
When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +170°C,
the thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic, turning
off the pass transistor and allowing the IC to cool. The
thermal sensor will turn the pass transistor on again after
the IC’s junction temperature cools by 20°C, resulting in
a pulsed output during continuous thermal-overload
conditions.Thermal-overload protection is designed to
protect the MAX8875 in the event of fault conditions. For
continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction-temperature rating of TJ = +150°C.
Operating Region and Power Dissipation
The MAX8875’s maximum power dissipation depends
on the thermal resistance of the case and circuit board,
the temperature difference between the die junction
and ambient air, and the rate of air flow. The power dissipation across the device is P = IOUT (VIN - VOUT). The
maximum power dissipation is:
PMAX = (TJ - TA) / (θJB + θBA)
where TJ - TA is the temperature difference between
the MAX8875 die junction and the surrounding air, θJB
(or θJC) is the thermal resistance of the package, and
θBA is the thermal resistance through the printed circuit
board, copper traces, and other materials to the surrounding air.
The MAX8875’s ground pin (GND) performs the dual
function of providing an electrical connection to system
ground and channeling heat away. Connect GND to the
system ground using a large pad or ground plane.
Reverse-Battery Protection
The MAX8875 has a unique protection scheme that limits the reverse supply current to 1mA when either VIN or
V SHDN falls below ground. The circuitry monitors the
polarity of these two pins and disconnects the internal
circuitry and parasitic diodes when the battery is
reversed. This feature prevents device damage.
__________Applications Information
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
For stable operation over the full temperature range
and with load currents up to 150mA, use a 1µF (min)
ceramic output capacitor with an ESR <0.2Ω for VOUT
≥ 2.5V, or an equivalent 3.3µF ceramic output capacitor
for VOUT = 1.5V. To reduce noise and improve loadtransient response, stability, and power-supply rejection, use large output capacitor values, such as 10µF.
Note that some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capacitance and ESR variation with temperature. With
dielectrics such as Z5U and Y5V, it may be necessary
to increase the capacitance by a factor of 2 or more to
ensure stability at temperatures below TA = -10°C. With
X7R or X5R dielectrics, 1µF should be sufficient at all
operating temperatures for VOUT ≥ 2.5V. For a pin-compatible, functionally equivalent device for use with a
higher ESR output capacitor, see the MAX8885.

Output Voltage
The MAX8875 is supplied with factory-set output voltages of 1.5V, 2.5V, 2.7V, 3.0V, 3.3V, or 5.0V. The part
number’s two-digit suffix identifies the nominal output
voltage. For example, the MAX8875EUK33 has a preset
output voltage of 3.3V (see Output Voltage Selector
Guide).

150mA, Low-Dropout Linear Regulator
with Power-OK Output
PSRR and Operation from
Sources Other than Batteries
The MAX8875 is designed to deliver low dropout voltages
and low quiescent currents in battery-powered systems.
Power-supply rejection is 60dB at low frequencies. See
the Power-Supply Rejection Ratio vs. Frequency graph in
the Typical Operating Characteristics.
Improve supply-noise rejection and transient response
by increasing the values of the input and output bypass
capacitors. The Typical Operating Characteristics show
the MAX8875’s line- and load-transient responses.
Dropout Voltage
For versions with the output voltage greater than the
minimum input voltage (2.5V), the regulator’s minimum
input-output voltage differential (or dropout voltage)
determines the lowest usable supply voltage. In batterypowered systems, this will determine the useful end-oflife battery voltage. Because the MAX8875 uses a
P-channel MOSFET pass transistor, its dropout voltage
is a function of drain-to-source on-resistance (RDS(ON))
multiplied by the load current (see Typical Operating
Characteristics):
VDROPOUT = VIN - VOUT = RDS(ON) ✕ IOUT
