Low-Cost, Low-Dropout, Dual Linear
Regulator
_______________General Description
The MAX8862 low-cost, low-dropout, dual linear voltage
regulator is ideal for battery-powered and portable applications. The
regulators have independent supply inputs and provide 250mA and 100mA, respectively, with a full-load dropout voltage of 160mV. Both
regulators use P-channel MOSFET pass
transistors and maintain low quiescent current independent of load current. In dropout, the MOSFET does not suffer from excessive base currents, as do saturated
PNP transistors. The MAX8862 output voltage is preset to 4.95V (L), 3.175V (T), or 2.85V (R). This device employs Dual Mode™ operation, allowing user-adjustable outputs from +2V to +11V with external resistors. The input supply-voltage range is 2.5V to 11.5V. Other features include independent shutdown, power-good indicator, short-circuit and reverse-battery protection, and thermal shutdown. The MAX8862’s
regulators are ideal power supplies for the radio and the microcontroller (µC) used in digital, cordless, and PCS phones. The main
regulator is optimized for superior transient and dynamic response, while the secondary
regulator exhibits low-output, wideband noise. The MAX8862 comes in a 16-pin SO package with a lead frame that uses multiple GND pins as a heat sink for additional thermal dissipation.
