General Description
The MAX8882/MAX8883 dual, low-noise, low-dropout
linear regulators operate from a +2.5V to +6.5V input and
deliver up to 160mA each of continuous current. Both ver-
sions offer low output noise and low dropout of only 72mV
at 80mA. Designed with an internal P-channel MOSFET
pass transistor, the MAX8882/MAX8883 maintain a low
165μA supply current (both LDOs on), independent of the
load current and dropout voltage. Other features include
short-circuit protection and thermal-shutdown protection.
The MAX8882 has a single shutdown input and provides
an external reference bypass pin to improve noise perfor-
mance. The MAX8883 includes two independent logic-
controlled shutdown inputs. The MAX8882/MAX8883 are
both available in a miniature 6-pin SOT23 package.

Detailed Description
The MAX8882/MAX8883 are low-noise, low-dropout,
low-quiescent-current linear regulators designed primarily
for battery-powered applications. These parts are avail-
able with preset output voltages ranging from 1.8V to
3.3V, and the parts can supply loads up to 160mA.
Shutdown
MAX8882
The MAX8882 has a single shutdown control input
(SHDN). Drive SHDN low to shut down both outputs,
reducing supply current to 10nA. Connect SHDN to a
logic-high, or IN, for normal operation.
MAX8883
The MAX8883 has independent shutdown control inputs
(SHDNA and SHDNB). Drive SHDNA low to shut down
OUTA. Drive SHDNB low to shut down OUTB. Drive both
SHDNA and SHDNB low to shut down the entire chip,
reducing supply current to 10nA. Connect both SHDNA
and SHDNB to a logic-high, or IN, for normal operation.
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX8882/MAX8883 feature two P-channel
MOSFET pass transistors. A P-channel MOSFET
provides several advantages over similar designs using
PNP pass transistors, including longer battery life. It
requires no base drive, which reduces quiescent current
significantly. PNP-based regulators waste considerable
current in dropout when the pass transistor saturates,
and they also use high base-drive currents under large
loads. The MAX8882/MAX8883 do not suffer from these
problems and only consume 165μA of quiescent current
whether in dropout, light-load, or heavy-load applications
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics). While a PNP-
based regulator has dropout voltage that is independent
of the load, a P-channel MOSFET’s dropout voltage is
proportional to load current, providing for low dropout
voltage at heavy loads and extremely low dropout voltage
at lighter loads.
Current Limit
The MAX8882/MAX8883 contain two independent current
limiters, one for each regulator, which monitor and control
the pass transistor’s gate voltage, limiting the guaranteed
maximum output current to 160mA minimum. The output
can be shorted to ground for an indefinite time without
damaging the part.
Thermal-Overload Protection
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation
in the MAX8882/MAX8883. When the junction tempera-
ture exceeds TJ = +160°C, the thermal sensor signals the
shutdown logic, turning off the pass transistor and allow-
ing the IC to cool. The thermal sensor will turn the pass
transistor on again after the IC’s junction temperature
cools by 10°C, resulting in a pulsed output during continu-
ous thermal-overload conditions.
Thermal-overload protection is designed to protect the
MAX8882/MAX8883 in the event of fault conditions. For
continual operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum
junction-temperature rating of TJ = +150°C.
Operating Region and Power Dissipation
The MAX8882/MAX8883’s maximum power dissipation
depends on the thermal resistance of the case and circuit
board, the temperature difference between the die junc-
tion and ambient air, and the rate of air flow. The power
dissipation across the device is P = IOUT (VIN - VOUT)
(Figure 1). The maximum power dissipation is:
PMAX = (TJ - TA) / (TJB + TBA)
where TJ - TA is the temperature difference between the
MAX8882/MAX8883 die junction and the surrounding air,
TJB (or TJC) is the thermal resistance of the package,
and TBA is the thermal resistance through the printed
circuit board, copper traces, and other materials to the
surrounding air.
The GND pin of the MAX8882/MAX8883 performs the
dual functions of providing an electrical connection to the
ground and channeling heat away. Connect the GND pin
to ground using a large pad or ground plane.

Low-Noise Operation (MAX8882)
An external 0.01μF bypass capacitor at BP, in conjunc-
tion with an internal resistor, creates a lowpass filter.
The MAX8882 exhibits 40μVRMS of output voltage noise
with CBP = 0.01μF and COUT_ = 4.7μF. (See the Output
Noise Spectral Density graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.)
Applications Information
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
Use a 2.2μF capacitor on the MAX8882/MAX8883 input
and a 2.2μF capacitor on the outputs. Larger input capaci-
tor values and lower ESRs provide better supply-noise
rejection and line-transient response. To reduce noise,
improve load transients, and for loads up to 160mA, use
larger output capacitors (up to 10μF). For stable operation
over the full temperature range and with load currents up
to 80mA, use 2.2μF.
Note that some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capaci-
tance and ESR variation with temperature. With dielec-
trics such as Z5U and Y5V, it may be necessary to use
4.7μF or more to ensure stability at temperatures below
-10°C. With X7R or X5R dielectrics, 2.2μF is sufficient
at all operating temperatures. These regulators are
optimized for ceramic capacitors, and tantalum capacitors
are not recommended.
Use a 0.01μF bypass capacitor at BP (MAX8882) for
low output voltage noise. Increasing the capacitance
will slightly decrease the output noise, but increase the
startup time. (See the Shutdown Response graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.)
PSRR and Operation from Sources
Other than Batteries
The MAX8882/MAX8883 are designed to deliver low
dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in battery-
powered systems. Power-supply rejection is 62dB at
low frequencies and rolls off above 100kHz. (See the
PSRR vs. Frequency graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.)
When operating from sources other than batteries,
improved supply-noise rejection and transient response
can be achieved by increasing the values of the input and
output bypass capacitors and through passive filtering
techniques.
Dropout Voltage
A regulator’s minimum input-output voltage differential
(or dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply
voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines the
useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the MAX8882/
MAX8883 use a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor,
their dropout voltage is a function of drain-to-source
on-resistance (RDS(ON)) multiplied by the load current
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics).
