Dual, Low-Dropout, 100mA Linear Regulators
____________________________Features
The MAX8865 and MAX8866 dual, low-dropout linear
regulators operate from a +2.5V to +5.5V input range
and deliver up to 100mA. At 200mA total load, the
PMOS pass transistors keep the supply current at
145µA, making these devices ideal for battery-operated
portable equipment such as cellular phones, cordless
phones, and modems.
♦ Low Cost
The devices feature Dual Mode™ operation: their output voltages are 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 external resistor dividers. Other
features include independent low-power shutdown,
short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown protection,
and reverse battery protection. The MAX8866 also
includes an auto-discharge function, which actively discharges the selected output voltage to ground when
the device is placed in shutdown mode. Both devices
come in a miniature 8-pin µMAX package.
♦ Low, 350µVRMS Output Noise
♦ Low, 55mV Dropout Voltage @ 50mA IOUT
♦ Low, 105µA No-Load Supply Current
♦ Low, 145µA Operating Supply Current (even in
dropout)
♦ Independent, Low-Current Shutdown Control
♦ Thermal Overload Protection
♦ Output Current Limit
♦ Reverse Battery Protection
♦ Dual Mode Operation: Fixed or Adjustable (1.25V
to 5.5V) Outputs

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX8865/MAX8866 are dual, low-dropout, low-quiescent-current linear regulators designed primarily for
battery-powered applications. They supply adjustable
1.25V to 5.5V outputs or preselected 2.80V
(MAX886_R), 2.84V (MAX886_S), or 3.15V (MAX886_T)
outputs for load currents up to 100mA. As illustrated in
Figure 1, these devices have a 1.25V reference and two
independent linear regulators. Each linear regulator
consists of an error amplifier, MOSFET driver, P-channel
pass transistor, Dual Mode™ comparator, and internal
feedback voltage divider.
The 1.25V bandgap reference is connected to the error
amplifiers’ inverting inputs. Each error amplifier compares this reference with 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, the pass-transistor gate is
pulled lower, allowing more current to pass and
increasing 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 is fed back through either an internal resistor voltage divider connected to the OUT_ pin,
or an external resistor network connected to the SET_
pin. The Dual Mode comparator examines the SET_
voltage and selects the feedback path. If SET_ is below
60mV, internal feedback is used and the output voltage
is regulated to 2.80V for the MAX886_R, 2.84V for the
MAX886_S, or 3.15V for the MAX886_T. Both regulators
are preset for the same voltage. The reference and the
thermal sensor are shared between the regulators.
Duplicate blocks exist for current limiters, reverse battery protection, and shutdown logic.
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX8865/MAX8866 feature 1.1Ω typical P-channel
MOSFET pass transistors. This provides several advantages over similar designs using PNP pass transistors,
including longer battery life.
The P-channel MOSFET requires no base-drive current,
which reduces quiescent current significantly. PNPbased regulators waste considerable amounts of current in dropout when the pass transistor saturates. They
also use high base-drive currents under large loads.
The MAX8865/MAX8866 do not suffer from these problems, and consume only 145µA of quiescent current,
whether in dropout, light load, or heavy load applications (see Typical Operating Characteristics).
Output Voltage Selection
The MAX8865/MAX8866 feature Dual Mode operation:
they operate in either a preset voltage mode or an
adjustable mode.

Current Limit
The MAX8865/MAX8866 include a current limiter for
each output section that monitors and controls the pass
transistor’s gate voltage, estimating the output current
and limiting it to about 220mA. For design purposes,
the current limit should be considered 120mA (min) to
320mA (max). The outputs can be shorted to ground for
an indefinite time period without damaging the part.
R2
Figure 2. Adjustable Output Using External Feedback
Resistors
In preset voltage mode, internal, trimmed feedback
resistors set the MAX886_R outputs to 2.80V, the
MAX886_S outputs to 2.84V, and the MAX886_T outputs to 3.15V. Select this mode by connecting SET_ to
ground. If SET_ can’t be grounded in preset voltage
mode, limit impedances between SET_ and ground to
less than 100kΩ. Otherwise, spurious conditions could
cause the voltage at SET_ to exceed the 60mV Dual
Mode threshold.
In adjustable mode, select an output between 1.25V
and 5.5V using two external resistors connected as a
voltage divider to SET_ (Figure 2). The output voltage is
set by the following equation:
VOUT_ = VSET_ (1 + R1 / R2)
where VSET_ = 1.25V. To simplify resistor selection:
 VOUT _

R1 = R2 
− 1
 VSET _

Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX8865/MAX8866. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +170°C, the thermal sensor
sends a signal to the shutdown logic, turning off the
pass transistors and allowing the IC to cool. The thermal sensor will turn the pass transistors on again after
the IC’s junction temperature typically cools by 20°C,
resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal
overload conditions.
Thermal overload protection is designed to protect the
MAX8865/MAX8866 in the event of fault conditions.
Stressing the device with high load currents and high
input-output differential voltages (which result in elevated die temperatures above +125°C) may cause a
momentary overshoot (2% to 8% for 200ms) when the
load is completely removed. This can be remedied by
raising the minimum load current from 0µA (+125°C) to
100µA (+150°C). For continuous operation, do not
exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature
rating of TJ = +150°C.
Operating Region and Power Dissipation
Choose R2 = 100kΩ to optimize power consumption,
accuracy, and high-frequency power-supply rejection.
The total current through the external resistive feedback
and load resistors should not be less than 10µA. Since
the VSET_ tolerance is typically less than ±25mV, the
output can be set using fixed resistors instead of trim
pots. Connect a 10pF to 25pF capacitor across R1 to
compensate for layout-induced parasitic capacitances.

_ pin individually shuts down one
of the two outputs. In shutdown mode, the selected
pass transistor, control circuit, and all biases are turned
Maximum power dissipation of the MAX8865/MAX8866
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 resulting maximum power dissipation is:
PMAX = (TJ - TA) / θJA
where (TJ - TA) is the temperature difference between
the MAX8865/MAX8866 die junction and the surrounding air, and θJA is the thermal resistance of the package to the surrounding air (244°C/W).

off. When both sections are turned off, the reference
and thermal shutdown are also turned off and the supply current is typically reduced to 0.16nA. Connect

Reverse Battery Protection
The MAX8865/MAX8866 have a unique protection
scheme that limits the reverse supply current to less
than 1mA when either V IN or V SHDN_
_ falls below
ground. The circuitry monitors the polarity of these
pins, disconnecting the internal circuitry and parasitic
diodes when the battery is reversed. This feature prevents the device from overheating and damaging the
battery.
__________Applications Information
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
Normally, use two 1µF surface-mount ceramic capacitors on the input and a 1µF surface-mount ceramic
capacitor on each output of the MAX8865/MAX8866.
Larger input capacitor values and lower ESR provide
better supply-noise rejection and transient response. A
higher-value input capacitor (10µF) may be necessary
if large, fast transients are anticipated and the device is
located several inches from the power source. Improve
load-transient response, stability, and power-supply
rejection by using large output capacitors. For stable
operation over the full temperature range, with load currents of 100mA, a minimum of 1µF is recommended
(see the Region of Stable COUT ESR vs. Load Current
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
Noise
The MAX8865/MAX8866 exhibit 350µVRMS noise during
normal operation. When using the MAX8865/MAX8866
in applications that include analog-to-digital converters
of greater than 12 bits, consider the ADC’s power-supply rejection specifications (see the Output Noise DC to
1MHz photo in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
Power-Supply Rejection and Operation
from Sources Other than Batteries
The MAX8865/MAX8866 are designed to deliver low
dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in batterypowered systems. Power-supply rejection is 60dB at low
frequencies and rolls off above 400Hz. As the frequency
increases above 100kHz, the output capacitor is the
major contributor to the rejection of power-supply noise
10
(see the Power-Supply Rejection Ratio vs. Frequency
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
When operating from sources other than batteries,
improve supply-noise rejection and transient response
by increasing the values of the input and output capacitors, and using passive filtering techniques (see the
supply and load-transient responses in the Typical
Operating Characteristics).
Load-Transient Considerations
The MAX8865/MAX8866 load-transient response
graphs (see Typical Operating Characteristics) show
two components of the output response: a DC shift of
the output voltage due to the different load currents,
and the transient response. Typical overshoot for step
changes in the load current from 0mA to 50mA is
12mV. Increasing the output capacitor’s value and
decreasing its ESR attenuates transient spikes.
Cross-Regulation
Cross-regulation refers to the change in one output
voltage when the load changes on the other output. For
the MAX8865/MAX8866, cross-regulation for a 0mA to
50mA load change on one side results in less than 1mV
change of output voltage. If the power dissipation on
one output causes the junction temperature to exceed
125°C, ensure regulation of the other output with a minimum load current of 100µA.
Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage
A regulator’s minimum input-output voltage differential (or
dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this will determine the
useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the
MAX8865/MAX8866 use P-channel MOSFET pass transistors, their dropout voltages are a function of RDS(ON) multiplied by the load currents (see Electrical Characteristics).
