Outputs are fixed at 3.3V (MAX687/MAX688) or 3.0V (MAX689). The only external components required are a PNP pass transistor and output, compensation, and bypass capacitors. Base drive to the external transistor is at least 10mA, permitting output currents to exceed 1A when using high-gain transistors ( > 100). Output current limiting is implemented by limiting the external transistor's base current. Output voltage monitoring and shutdown functions are included. The 3.3V MAX687 automatically shuts down whenever the output voltage drops below 2.96V. An internal power-fail comparator also monitors the output and provides an early warning of low output voltage before the device shuts down. When shut down, the output is latched off until the ON input is pulsed. Turning off the power supply in this way prevents battery damage due to excessive discharge or cell-reversal. Typical applications include portable telephones and other battery-powered equipment where the power supply must be disabled when the battery voltage is low. The MAX688 and MAX689 do not have an automatic shutdown function, and are identical except for their output voltages. Each device has an active-low shutdown-control input, used to turn its output on or off at any time. As SHDN falls, the device enters a standby mode before fully shutting down. When in standby, the reference and comparators are fully operational, permitting the transition from normal mode to standby mode to occur at a precise voltage level on SHDN.

Note 3: The start-up time specification is the time taken from ON or SHDN rising to BASE sinking current. VOUT rise time is longer and is a function of load capacitance, C2, and load resistance, RL. Note 4: Minimum load capacitance is a function of RL. Minimum C2 = 10F for loads up to 100mA and 1F/10mA for higher loads. ESR of C2 should be no larger than 1/100 of RL. Guaranteed by design.

MAX687/MAX688/MAX689 High-Accuracy, Low-Dropout Linear Regulators ______________________________________________________________Pin Description PIN NAME 1 IN FUNCTION Positive input voltage, 2.7V to 11.0V ON (MAX687) ON activates the regulator when pulsed high. In order for the regulator to remain on, ON must remain high until VOUT exceeds the internal shutdown threshold voltage. The MAX687 is shut down when VOUT < 2.96V, and remains latched off until ON is pulsed high. When powered up, the MAX687 does not start up until ON is pulsed high. Connect to VIN if not used. 2 SHDN (MAX688/ MAX689) SHDN is a three-level input that controls the mode of operation. The device is on when V SHDN > 1.25V. The output is disabled and the supply current is reduced (IIN < 25A, standby mode) when V SHDN < 1.2V, and is fully off (IIN < 1A, shutdown mode) when V SHDN < 0.2V. Connect SHDN to IN if the shutdown function is not used. PFO is low when SHDN is low (below 0.2V). 3 PFO Power-Fail Output. PFO trips when VOUT is 170mV below nominal VOUT at IBASE = 1mA. PFO sources and sinks current in the MAX687, but is an open drain in the MAX688/MAX689. When shut down, PFO is always low and sinks current. Leave PFO open if not used. 4 GND Ground 5 OUT Regulator Output. MAX687/MAX688, 3.3V; MAX689, 3.0V. 6 BLIM Base current limit. A resistor (RB) connected between BASE and BLIM sets the maximum base drive to the PNP transistor: IBASE 0.1V / (RB + 5). This limits quiescent current rise during dropout and also provides current limiting without using a current-sense resistor in the collector of the external PNP, thus not impacting dropout. Output current limiting accuracy depends on how well the external PNP beta (hFE) is controlled. Connect to BASE if not used. 7 BASE Base drive for the external PNP transistor. Current limiting is controlled using a resistor (RB) connected between BASE and BLIM. For maximum output current, connect BASE to BLIM. 8 CC 2 Compensation Capacitor. Connect a non-polarized capacitor (10nF to 100nF) from CC to GND. _______________Detailed Description The MAX687/MAX688/MAX689 are precision lowdropout linear regulators employing external PNP transistors to achieve a wide range of output currents at voltages of 3.0V or 3.3V. The maximum base current for the PNP can be limited using a resistor. Limiting the base drive keeps high currents from being wasted when the device is in dropout (e.g., at low input voltages), and limits the regulator's output current. The dropout voltage is limited only by the PNP transistor's VCE(SAT). The Power-Fail Output (PFO) goes low when the output voltage drops 170mV below the nominal level. The three devices differ in their output voltages, in their shutdown-control functions, and in PFO's output drive (see Table 1). 6 Table 1. Device Functions FUNCTION MAX687 MAX688 MAX689 VOUT 3.3V 3.3V 3.0V Shutdown Control Automatic at low VOUT. Latched. Use ON to start. External SHDN External SHDN PFO Sources & Sinks Open Drain Open Drain The MAX687's output voltage is internally monitored; a falling VOUT is signaled by PFO going low. As the output falls further, the MAX687 automatically enters a lowpower shutdown mode, where the base drive to the external PNP is cut off. PFO trips at a minimum of 110mV below the nominal VOUT, and shutdown occurs by 2.96V. PFO is guaranteed to trip before the device _______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Accuracy, Low-Dropout Linear Regulators Q1 FZT749 +5V INPUT 3.3V @ 500mA 70mV of hysteresis between the standby and on states prevents chatter between the two modes. The voltage applied to the SHDN pin can be derived from a resistive divider from VIN. When VSHDN is less than 1.2V, the output is off. The device is fully shut down (<1A) when SHDN is pulled below 200mV. SHDN is not latched, and as SHDN is raised, the MAX688/MAX689 exit shutdown and enter the standby mode. At the higher SHDN threshold, the output is turned on. Figure 1 shows a typical circuit for the MAX687, and Figure 2 shows the same circuit configured for the MAX688/MAX689. The accuracy of the output current limit depends on accurate knowledge of the PNP pass transistor's current gain (hFE). With RB = 12, BLIM limits base current to 6mA (IBASE = 0.1V / (RB + 5)). See BaseCurrent Limiting section. The PFO comparators on all three devices, and the internal shutdown comparator on the MAX687, reject high-speed spikes (<100s). This reduces the PFO output's noise sensitivity, and stops the MAX687 from being shut down inadvertently when there is noise on the input supply. _______________Transistor Selection Specifications The PNP pass transistor must meet specifications for * current gain, * power dissipation, and * collector current. The hFE influences the maximum output current the circuit can deliver.

Figure 1. MAX687 Operating Circuit GND Figure 2. MAX688/MAX689 Operating Circuit _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX687/MAX688/MAX689 shuts down. Once the MAX687 is shut down, it can only be turned on again when (a) the ON pin is pulsed high, and (b) the conditions that triggered shutdown have changed (e.g., the load has been reduced or the input voltage has increased). In order for the MAX687 to latch into its on state, the ON pulse must remain high until the output voltage has risen above the shutdown threshold. The internal shutdown can be used to prevent deep discharge of a battery, for example, to provide "self backup" of CMOS RAM or to protect the battery itself. The RC circuit attached to the ON input in Figure 1 achieves automatic start-up at power-on by delivering a brief pulse whenever the input voltage is suddenly applied. This circuit is not suitable for applications where the input voltage rises slowly. The RC values should be chosen to keep ON high until the output rises above about 3.13V. The values shown in Figure 1 for C4 and R1 (0.1F and 10k) are suitable for most applications. To ensure start-up when the input voltage is very close to the circuit's dropout voltage, when the circuit is used to drive a very large capacitive load, or for high-power circuits (ILOAD > 3A), increase the value of R1 to increase the ON pulse width. The 3.3V MAX688 and the 3.0V MAX689 incorporate the same PFO warning whenever V OUT droops. However, the MAX688/MAX689 do not automatically shut down when the output voltage drops even further. Instead, the SHDN input controls external shutdown. As SHDN is pulled low, the chip first enters a low-current standby state (<25A). The threshold at which standby mode is entered is precisely controlled (2%) so the output can be turned off at a well-defined point. MAX687/MAX688/MAX689 High-Accuracy, Low-Dropout Linear Regulators is given by ILOAD(MAX) = 10mA x hFE(MIN). The transistor's rated power dissipation must exceed the actual power dissipated in the transistor. The power dissipated (PD) equals the maximum load current (ILOAD(MAX)) times the maximum input to output voltage differential: PD = ILOAD(MAX) x (VIN(MAX) - VOUT). The rated transistor collector current must exceed the maximum load current. Suitable transistors include the Zetex FZT749, and the 2N2907A (see Table 2). Base-Current Limiting A comparator monitors the voltage across the external base-current-limiting resistor (between BASE and BLIM). This sets the maximum base current. If BASE and BLIM are shorted, base current is limited nominally to 20mA due to an internal 5 resistor in series with the external resistance. Choose the base-current-limiting resistor, R B , so the drop across it at rated load is approximately 50mV. RB = (50mV) x hFE(MIN) ILOAD(MAX) - 5 The base drive is controlled so the voltage on BLIM is limited to 100mV below the voltage on BASE; with a 50mV nominal drop across RB + 5, base-current drive is limited to twice the nominal. This limits base current when the external PNP is heavily saturated, such as when the regulator is in dropout due to low input voltage. In addition, if the external PNP's hFE is defined within reasonable limits, base-current control effectively limits output current without a dropout voltage penalty. ________________Capacitor Selection Bypass Capacitor (C1) Connect a bypass capacitor from IN to GND. 4.7F makes the circuit insensitive to layout, and is sufficient for any load. Smaller values may be used--down to 0.33F--with low-ESR capacitors, good board layout, and a low-impedance incoming supply. 8 Connect the bypass capacitor directly between pins 1 and 4 of the IC, using short leads. Connect the emitter of the PNP transistor directly to the bypass capacitor using a very short trace. Output Capacitor (C2) The output filter capacitor must be at least 10F. For currents above 100mA, use 1F of capacitance for every 10mA of load current (e.g., 20F for 200mA load, 50F for 500mA). Low-ESR capacitors give best stability and transient response. Ensure that the capacitor's ESR is less than 1% of the load resistance. See Table 2 for a list of manufacturers. Sanyo OS-CON capacitors are recommended for applications operating at temperatures below 0C. Compensation Capacitor (C3) Connect a compensation capacitor from CC to GND. 10nF is recommended, although higher values (up to 100nF) may also be used. Higher C3 values eliminate power-on overshoot, but extend power-up times. Current flowing into or out of CC causes the regulator's reference voltage to change, resulting in shifted output voltage and trip thresholds. Use non-polarized capacitors (e.g., ceramic, polyester, etc.) to keep leakage currents below 25nA. Aluminum and tantalum electrolytic capacitors are unsuitable because of their high leakage currents. __________________Power-Fail Output The PFO output trips when VOUT is 170mV below nominal VOUT at IBASE = 1mA. PFO sources and sinks current in the MAX687, but is an open drain in the MAX688/MAX689 and only sinks current. When shut down, PFO is always low regardless of the voltage at OUT. Leave PFO open if it is not used. _______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Accuracy, Low-Dropout Linear Regulators DROPOUT VOLTAGE vs. LOAD CURRENT High-Power Output Circuit MAX687/9-04 1.0 Q1 = TIP42 Q2 = 2N4403 BASE = BLIM 0.9 0.8 VIN - VOUT (V) Figure 3 shows a pseudo-Darlington transistor configuration to increase load-current capability and maintain a low dropout voltage with a 4A load.
