MAX8873T/S/R, MAX8874T/S/R Low-Dropout, 120mA Linear Regulators _______________General Description ____________________________Features The MAX8873T/S/R and MAX8874T/S/R low-dropout linear regulators operate from a +2.5V to +6.5V input range and deliver up to 120mA. A PMOS pass transistor allows the low, 82A supply current to remain independent of load, making these devices ideal for battery-operated portable equipment such as cellular phones and cordless phones. o LP2980 Pin-Compatible SOT23 Package The devices feature Dual ModeTM operation: their output 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. Total error on the output is 3.5%. Output voltages are set on the low side of popular ranges so that power drain is minimized for longer battery life. Other features include low-power shutdown, short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown protection, and reverse battery protection. The MAX8874 also includes an auto-discharge function, which actively discharges the output voltage to ground when the device is placed in shutdown mode. Both devices come in a miniature 5-pin SOT23 package. o Miniature External Components For dual versions, refer to the MAX8865/MAX8866 data sheet.

They supply an adjustable 1.25V to 6.5V output or a preselected 2.80V (MAX887_R), 2.84V (MAX887_S), or 3.15V (MAX887_T) output for load currents up to 120mA. These devices consist of a 1.25V reference, error amplifier, MOSFET driver, P-channel pass transistor, dual-mode comparator, and internal feedback voltage divider (Figure 1). The 1.25V bandgap reference is connected to the error amplifier's inverting input. The error amplifier compares this reference with the selected feedback voltage and amplifies the difference. The MOSFET driver reads the error signal IN SHDN 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 the preset output voltage. Additional blocks include a current limiter, reverse battery protection, thermal sensor, and shutdown logic.

The total current through the external resistive feedback and load resistors should not be less than 10A. 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. In preset voltage mode, impedances between SET and ground should be less than 100k. Otherwise, spurious conditions could cause the voltage at SET to exceed the 60mV dual-mode threshold. Shutdown Figure 2. Adjustable Output Using External Feedback Resistors Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor The MAX8873/MAX8874 feature a 1.1 typical 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 current, which reduces quiescent current considerably. 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 MAX8873/MAX8874 do not suffer from these problems, and consume only 82A of quiescent current, whether in dropout, light load, or heavy load applications (see Typical Operating Characteristics). Output Voltage Selection The MAX8873/MAX8874 feature Dual Mode operation: they operate in either a preset voltage mode or an adjustable mode. In preset voltage mode, internal, trimmed feedback resistors set the MAX887_R output to 2.80V, the MAX887_S output to 2.84V, and the MAX887_T output to 3.15V. Select this mode by connecting SET to ground. In adjustable mode, select an output between 1.25V and 6.5V 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: V R1 = R2 OUT VSET Maxim Integrated - 1 A low input on the SHDN pin shuts down the MAX8873/MAX8874. In shutdown mode, the pass transistor, control circuit, reference, and all biases are turned off, reducing the supply current to typically 0.1nA. Connect SHDN to IN for normal operation. The MAX8874 output voltage is actively discharged to ground when the part is placed in shutdown (see Typical Operating Characteristics). Current Limit The MAX8873/MAX8874 include a current limiter that monitors and controls the pass transistor's gate voltage, estimating the output current and limiting it to about 280mA. For design purposes, the current limit should be considered 120mA to 420mA. The output can be shorted to ground for an indefinite time period without damaging the part. Thermal Overload Protection Thermal overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX8873/MAX8874. When the junction temperature exceeds T J = +170C, the thermal sensor sends a signal to the shutdown logic, turning off the pass transistor and allowing the IC to cool. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on again after the IC's junction temperature typically cools by 20C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal overload conditions. Thermal overload protection is designed to protect the MAX8873/MAX8874 in the event of fault conditions. Stressing the device with high load currents and high input-output differential voltages (which result in die temperatures above +125C) 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 0A (+125C) to 100A (+150C). For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature rating of TJ = +150C. 7 MAX8873T/S/R, MAX8874T/S/R Low-Dropout, 120mA Linear Regulators Operating Region and Power Dissipation Noise Maximum power dissipation of the MAX8873/MAX8874 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) / JA The MAX8873/MAX8874 exhibit 350VRMS noise during normal operation. When using the MAX8873/MAX8874 in applications that include analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) 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). For devices with lower output noise, refer to the MAX8877/MAX8878. where (TJ - TA) is the temperature difference between the MAX8873/MAX8874 die junction and the surrounding air, and JA is the thermal resistance of the chosen package to the surrounding air. The GND pin of the MAX8873/MAX8874 performs the dual function of providing an electrical connection to ground and channeling heat away. Connect the GND pin to ground using a large pad or ground plane. Reverse Battery Protection The MAX8873/MAX8874 have a unique protection scheme that limits the reverse supply current to less than 1mA when either VIN or V SHDN falls below ground. The circuitry monitors the polarity of these two pins, disconnecting the internal circuitry and parasitic diodes when the battery is reversed. This feature prevents the device from overheating and damaging the battery. VIN > 5.5V Minimum Load Current When operating the MAX8873/MAX8874 with an input voltage above 5.5V, a minimum load current of 20A is required to maintain regulation in preset voltage mode. When setting the output with external resistors, the minimum current through the external feedback resistors and load must be 30A. __________Applications Information Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability Normally, use a 1F capacitor on the input and a 1F capacitor on the output of the MAX8873/MAX8874. Larger input capacitor values and lower ESR provide better supply-noise rejection and transient response. A higher-value input capacitor (10F) 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 up to 120mA, a minimum of 1F is recommended. 8 Power-Supply Rejection and Operation from Sources Other than Batteries The MAX8873/MAX8874 are designed to deliver low dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in batterypowered systems. Power-supply rejection is 62dB at low frequencies and rolls off above 300Hz. As the frequency increases above 20kHz, the output capacitor is the major contributor to the rejection of power-supply noise (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 by using passive filtering techniques (see the supply and load-transient responses in the Typical Operating Characteristics). Load-Transient Considerations The MAX8873/MAX8874 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 14mV. Increasing the output capacitor's value and decreasing its ESR attenuates transient spikes. 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 MAX8873/MAX8874 use a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor, their dropout voltage is a function of RDS(ON) multiplied by the load current (see Electrical Characteristics).
