350mA, 16.
5V Input, Low-Dropout Linear Regulators
_______________General Description
The MAX1658/MAX1659 linear regulators maximize battery life by combining ultra-low supply currents and low dropout
voltages.
They feature Dual Modeā¢ operation, which presets the output to 3.
3V (MAX1658) or 5V (MAX1659), or permits it to be adjusted between 1.
25V and 16V.
The regulator supplies up to 350mA, with a typical dropout of 650mV for the MAX1658 and 490mV for the MAX1659.
With their P-channel
MOSFET pass transistor, these devices maintain a low quiescent current from zero output current to the full 350mA, even in dropout.
They support input
voltages ranging from 2.
7V to 16.
5V.
