MAXIM MAX8887EZK18-T

19-1859; Rev 2; 6/04
Low-Dropout, 300mA Linear Regulators in SOT23
The MAX8887/MAX8888 low-dropout linear regulators
operate from a 2.5V to 5.5V input and deliver up to
300mA continuous (500mA pulsed) current. The
MAX8887 is optimized for low-noise operation, while the
MAX8888 includes an open-drain POK ouput flag. Both
regulators feature exceptionally low 100mV dropout at
200mA. These devices are available in a variety of preset output voltages in the 1.5V to 3.3V range.
An internal PMOS pass transistor allows the low 55µA
supply current to remain independent of load, making
these devices ideal for portable battery-powered equipment such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, cordless phones, and notebook computers.
Other features include a micropower shutdown mode,
short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown protection,
and an active-low open-drain power-OK (POK) output
that indicates when the output is out of regulation. The
MAX8887/MAX8888 are available in a thin 5-pin SOT23
package that is only 1mm high.

In shutdown, POK and OUT are driven low. Connect to IN for normal operation.
Open-Drain Active-Low POK Output. POK remains low while the output voltage (VOUT) is

MAX8887/MAX8888
Low-Dropout, 300mA Linear Regulators in SOT23
Detailed Description
The MAX8887/MAX8888 are low-dropout, low-quiescent-current linear regulators designed primarily for
battery-powered applications. The devices supply
loads up to 300mA and are available in several fixed
output voltages in the 1.5V to 3.3V range. The
MAX8887 is optimized for low-noise operation, while
the MAX8888 includes an open-drain POK output flag.
As illustrated in Figure 1, the MAX8888 consists of a
1.25V reference, error amplifier, P-channel pass transistor, and internal feedback voltage divider.
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX8887/MAX8888 feature a 0.5Ω P-channel
MOSFET pass transistor. Unlike similar designs using
PNP pass transistors, P-channel MOSFETs require no
base drive, which reduces quiescent current. PNPbased regulators also waste considerable current in
dropout when the pass transistor saturates and use
high base drive currents under large loads. The
MAX8887/MAX8888 do not suffer from these problems
and consume only 55µA of quiescent current under
heavy loads as well as in dropout.
Output Voltage Selection
The MAX8887/MAX8888 are supplied with various factory-set output voltages ranging from 1.5V to 3.3V. The
part number’s two-digit suffix identifies the nominal output voltage. For example, the MAX8887EZK33 has a
preset output voltage of 3.3V (see the Ordering Information).
Shutdown
Drive SHDN low to enter shutdown. During shutdown,
the output is disconnected from the input and supply
current drops to 0.1µA. When in shutdown, POK and
OUT are driven low. SHDN can be pulled as high as
6V, regardless of the input and output voltages.
Power-OK Output
The power-OK output (POK) pulls low when OUT is less
than 93% of the nominal regulation voltage. Once OUT
exceeds 93% of the nominal voltage, POK goes high
impedance. POK is an open-drain N-channel output.
To obtain a logic level output, connect a pullup resistor
from POK to OUT. A 100kΩ resistor works well for most
applications. POK can be used as a power-on-reset
(POR) signal to a microcontroller (µC) or to drive other
logic. Adding a capacitor from POK to ground creates
POK delay. When the MAX8887 is shut down, POK is
held low independent of the output voltage. If unused,
leave POK grounded or unconnected.
Current Limit
The MAX8887/MAX8888 monitor and control the pass
transistor’s gate voltage, limiting the output current to
6
0.8A (typ). This current limit is reduced to 500mA (typ)
when the output voltage is below 93% of the nominal
value to provide foldback current limiting.
Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX8887/MAX8888. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ =+170°C, a thermal sensor turns
off the pass transistor, allowing the device to cool. The
thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on again after
the junction temperature cools by 20°C, resulting in a
pulsed output during continuous thermal overload conditions. Thermal overload protection protects the
MAX8887/MAX8888 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 MAX8887/MAX8888’s maximum power dissipation
depends on the thermal resistance of the IC package
and circuit board. The temperature difference between
the die junction and ambient air, and the rate of air flow.
The power dissipated in the device is P = IOUT ✕ (VINV OUT ). The maximum allowed power dissipation is
727mW or:
PMAX = (TJ(MAX) - TA) / (θJC + θCA)
where T J(MAX) -T A is the temperature difference
between the MAX8887/MAX8888 die junction and the
surrounding air; θJC is the thermal resistance from the
junction to the case; and θCA is the thermal resistance
from the case through PC board, copper traces, and
other materials to the surrounding air.
Refer to Figure 2 for the MAX8887/MAX888 valid operating region.
Noise Reduction
For the MAX8887 only, an external 0.01µF bypass
capacitor at BP creates a lowpass filter for noise reduction. The MAX8887 exhibits 42µVRMS of output voltage
noise with CBP = 0.01µF and COUT = 2.2µF (see the
Typical Operating Characteristics).
Applications Information
Capacitor Selection and Regulator
Stability
Connect a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor between IN and
ground and a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor between OUT
and ground. The input capacitor (C IN ) lowers the
source impedance of the input supply. Reduce noise
and improve load-transient response, stability, and
power-supply rejection by using a larger ceramic output capacitor such as 4.7µF.
The output capacitor’s (COUT) equivalent series resistance (ESR) affects stability and output noise. Use out-

Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage
A regulator’s minimum input-to-output voltage differential (dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply voltage at which the output is regulated. In
battery-powered systems, this determines the useful
end-of-life battery voltage. The MAX8887/MAX8888 use
a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor. Its dropout voltage is a function of drain-to-source on-resistance
(R DS(ON) ) multiplied by the load current (see the
Typical Operating Characteristics).

Noise, PSRR, and Transient Response
The MAX8887/MAX8888 are designed to operate with
low dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in battery-powered systems while still maintaining excellent
noise, transient response, and AC rejection. See the
Typical Operating Characteristics for a plot of powersupply rejection ratio (PSRR) versus frequency. When
operating from noisy sources, improved supply-noise
rejection and transient response can be achieved by
increasing the values of the input and output bypass
capacitors and through passive filtering techniques.

ceramic capacitors have very low ESR and are commonly available in values up to 10µF. Connect CIN and

minimize the impact of PC board trace inductance.
