Low-Dropout, 120mA Linear
Regulators
MAX8873T/S/R, MAX8874T/S/R
_______________General Description
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, 82µA supply current to remain independent of load, making these devices ideal for battery-operated portable equipment such as cellular phones and cordless phones.
The devices feature Dual Mode™ 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.
