MAX8877/MAX8878-XX
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX8877/MAX8878-XX family are very low-noise, very
low-dropout, low quiescent-current linear regulators designed for
battery-powered applications, although they can also be used for
devices powered by AC-DC converters. The parts are available in a
range of preset output voltages from 2.5 V to 4.5 V. Typical dropout
voltages are only 165 mV at 150 mA, and 41 mV at 50 mA. Reverse
battery current is extremely low, 0.5
µA
typ.
For demanding applications, output noise voltage of typically
30
µV
rms
is achieved with a 0.01
µF
capacitor on the bypass pin.
The input voltage can vary from 2.5 V
DC
to 6.5 V
DC
, providing up to
150 mA output current.
An internal P-channel FET pass transistor maintains an 85
µA
typical supply current, independent of the load current and dropout
voltage. Other features include a 0.01
µA
logic-controlled shutdown,
short circuit and thermal shutdown protection, and reverse battery
protection. The MAX8878 also includes an auto-discharge function
which actively discharges the output voltage to ground when the
device is placed in shutdown.
To accommodate high density layouts, it is packaged in the 5-pin
SOT23-5 and wafer-level chip-scale package (WL-CSP).

DESCRIPTION
Regulator Input. Supply voltage
ranges from 2.5 V to 6.5 V. Bypass
with a 1
µF
capacitor to GND.
Ground. The bump may also serve as
heat spreader by soldering it to a large
PCB pad or circuit board ground plane
to maximize power dissipation.
Active-LOW Shutdown input. This pin
must be actively terminated. Tie to V
IN
if this function is not used.
Noise bypass pin. Low noise of
typically 30
µV
rms
with optional
0.01
µF
bypass capacitor. Larger
bypass capacitor further reduces
noise.
Regulator output. Sources up to 150
mA. Minimum output capacitor is 1
