19-0485; Rev 0; 4/96 Dual, Low-Dropout, 100mA Linear Regulators ____________________________Features The MAX8865 and MAX8866 dual, low-dropout linear regulators operate from a +2.5V to +5.5V input range and deliver up to 100mA. At 200mA total load, the PMOS pass transistors keep the supply current at 145A, making these devices ideal for battery-operated portable equipment such as cellular phones, cordless phones, and modems. Low Cost The devices feature Dual ModeTM operation: their output voltages are 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 external resistor dividers. Other features include independent low-power shutdown, short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown protection, and reverse battery protection. The MAX8866 also includes an auto-discharge function, which actively discharges the selected output voltage to ground when the device is placed in shutdown mode. Both devices come in a miniature 8-pin MAX package.

They supply adjustable 1.25V to 5.5V outputs or preselected 2.80V (MAX886_R), 2.84V (MAX886_S), or 3.15V (MAX886_T) outputs for load currents up to 100mA. As illustrated in Figure 1, these devices have a 1.25V reference and two independent linear regulators. Each linear regulator consists of an error amplifier, MOSFET driver, P-channel pass transistor, Dual ModeTM comparator, and internal feedback voltage divider. The 1.25V bandgap reference is connected to the error amplifiers' inverting inputs. Each error amplifier compares this reference with the selected feedback voltage and amplifies the difference. The MOSFET driver reads the error signal and applies the appropriate drive to the P-channel pass transistor. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference, the pass-transistor gate is pulled lower, allowing more current to pass and increasing the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is too high, the pass-transistor gate is pulled up, allowing less current to pass to the output. The output voltage is fed back through either an internal resistor voltage divider connected to the OUT_ pin, or an external resistor network connected to the SET_ pin. The Dual Mode comparator examines the SET_ voltage and selects the feedback path. If SET_ is below 60mV, internal feedback is used and the output voltage is regulated to 2.80V for the MAX886_R, 2.84V for the MAX886_S, or 3.15V for the MAX886_T. Both regulators are preset for the same voltage. The reference and the thermal sensor are shared between the regulators. Duplicate blocks exist for current limiters, reverse battery protection, and shutdown logic. Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor The MAX8865/MAX8866 feature 1.1 typical P-channel MOSFET pass transistors. This provides several advantages over similar designs using PNP pass transistors, including longer battery life. The P-channel MOSFET requires no base-drive current, which reduces quiescent current significantly. PNPbased regulators waste considerable amounts of current in dropout when the pass transistor saturates. They also use high base-drive currents under large loads. The MAX8865/MAX8866 do not suffer from these problems, and consume only 145A of quiescent current, whether in dropout, light load, or heavy load applications (see Typical Operating Characteristics). Output Voltage Selection The MAX8865/MAX8866 feature Dual Mode operation: they operate in either a preset voltage mode or an adjustable mode. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX8865T/S/R, MAX8866T/S/R ______________________________________________________________Pin Description MAX8865T/S/R, MAX8866T/S/R Dual, Low-Dropout, 100mA Linear Regulators IN SHDN1 REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION ERROR AMP MAX8865 MAX8866 SHUTDOWN LOGIC N OUT1 * THERMAL SENSOR SET1 1.25V REF DUAL-MODE COMPARATOR SHDN2 P MOS DRIVER WITH ILIMIT 60mV REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION ERROR AMP P MOS DRIVER WITH ILIMIT SHUTDOWN LOGIC N OUT2 * SET2 DUAL-MODE COMPARATOR 60mV GND * AUTO-DISCHARGE, MAX8866 ONLY Figure 1.

For design purposes, the current limit should be considered 120mA (min) to 320mA (max). The outputs can be shorted to ground for an indefinite time period without damaging the part. R2 Figure 2. Adjustable Output Using External Feedback Resistors In preset voltage mode, internal, trimmed feedback resistors set the MAX886_R outputs to 2.80V, the MAX886_S outputs to 2.84V, and the MAX886_T outputs to 3.15V. Select this mode by connecting SET_ to ground. If SET_ can't be grounded in preset voltage mode, limit impedances between SET_ and ground to less than 100k. Otherwise, spurious conditions could cause the voltage at SET_ to exceed the 60mV Dual Mode threshold. In adjustable mode, select an output between 1.25V and 5.5V using two external resistors connected as a voltage divider to SET_ (Figure 2). The output voltage is set by the following equation: VOUT_ = VSET_ (1 + R1 / R2) where VSET_ = 1.25V. To simplify resistor selection: VOUT _ R1 = R2 - 1 VSET _ Thermal Overload Protection Thermal overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX8865/MAX8866. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +170C, the thermal sensor sends a signal to the shutdown logic, turning off the pass transistors and allowing the IC to cool. The thermal sensor will turn the pass transistors on again after the IC's junction temperature typically cools by 20C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal overload conditions. Thermal overload protection is designed to protect the MAX8865/MAX8866 in the event of fault conditions. Stressing the device with high load currents and high input-output differential voltages (which result in elevated die temperatures above +125C) may cause a momentary overshoot (2% to 8% for 200ms) when the load is completely removed. This can be remedied by raising the minimum load current from 0A (+125C) to 100A (+150C). For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature rating of TJ = +150C. Operating Region and Power Dissipation Choose R2 = 100k to optimize power consumption, accuracy, and high-frequency power-supply rejection. The total current through the external resistive feedback and load resistors should not be less than 10A. Since the VSET_ tolerance is typically less than 25mV, the output can be set using fixed resistors instead of trim pots. Connect a 10pF to 25pF capacitor across R1 to compensate for layout-induced parasitic capacitances. Shutdown A low input on a SHDN_ _ pin individually shuts down one of the two outputs. In shutdown mode, the selected pass transistor, control circuit, and all biases are turned Maximum power dissipation of the MAX8865/MAX8866 depends on the thermal resistance of the case and circuit board, the temperature difference between the die junction and ambient air, and the rate of air flow. The power dissipation across the device is P = IOUT (VIN VOUT). The resulting maximum power dissipation is: PMAX = (TJ - TA) / JA where (TJ - TA) is the temperature difference between the MAX8865/MAX8866 die junction and the surrounding air, and JA is the thermal resistance of the package to the surrounding air (244C/W). _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX8865T/S/R, MAX8866T/S/R OUTPUT VOLTAGE off. When both sections are turned off, the reference and thermal shutdown are also turned off and the supply current is typically reduced to 0.16nA. Connect SHDN_ _ to IN for normal operation. The MAX8866 output voltages are actively discharged to ground when individual regulators are shut down (see Typical Operating Characteristics). MAX8865T/S/R, MAX8866T/S/R Dual, Low-Dropout, 100mA Linear Regulators Reverse Battery Protection The MAX8865/MAX8866 have a unique protection scheme that limits the reverse supply current to less than 1mA when either V IN or V SHDN_ _ falls below ground. The circuitry monitors the polarity of these pins, disconnecting the internal circuitry and parasitic diodes when the battery is reversed. This feature prevents the device from overheating and damaging the battery. __________Applications Information Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability Normally, use two 1F surface-mount ceramic capacitors on the input and a 1F surface-mount ceramic capacitor on each output of the MAX8865/MAX8866. Larger input capacitor values and lower ESR provide better supply-noise rejection and transient response. A higher-value input capacitor (10F) may be necessary if large, fast transients are anticipated and the device is located several inches from the power source. Improve load-transient response, stability, and power-supply rejection by using large output capacitors. For stable operation over the full temperature range, with load currents of 100mA, a minimum of 1F is recommended (see the Region of Stable COUT ESR vs. Load Current graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics). Noise The MAX8865/MAX8866 exhibit 350VRMS noise during normal operation. When using the MAX8865/MAX8866 in applications that include analog-to-digital converters of greater than 12 bits, consider the ADC's power-supply rejection specifications (see the Output Noise DC to 1MHz photo in the Typical Operating Characteristics). Power-Supply Rejection and Operation from Sources Other than Batteries The MAX8865/MAX8866 are designed to deliver low dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in batterypowered systems. Power-supply rejection is 60dB at low frequencies and rolls off above 400Hz. As the frequency increases above 100kHz, the output capacitor is the major contributor to the rejection of power-supply noise 10 (see the Power-Supply Rejection Ratio vs. Frequency graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. When operating from sources other than batteries, improve supply-noise rejection and transient response by increasing the values of the input and output capacitors, and using passive filtering techniques (see the supply and load-transient responses in the Typical Operating Characteristics). Load-Transient Considerations The MAX8865/MAX8866 load-transient response graphs (see Typical Operating Characteristics) show two components of the output response: a DC shift of the output voltage due to the different load currents, and the transient response. Typical overshoot for step changes in the load current from 0mA to 50mA is 12mV. Increasing the output capacitor's value and decreasing its ESR attenuates transient spikes. Cross-Regulation Cross-regulation refers to the change in one output voltage when the load changes on the other output. For the MAX8865/MAX8866, cross-regulation for a 0mA to 50mA load change on one side results in less than 1mV change of output voltage. If the power dissipation on one output causes the junction temperature to exceed 125C, ensure regulation of the other output with a minimum load current of 100A. Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage A regulator's minimum input-output voltage differential (or dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this will determine the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the MAX8865/MAX8866 use P-channel MOSFET pass transistors, their dropout voltages are a function of RDS(ON) multiplied by the load currents (see Electrical Characteristics). ___________________Chip Information TRANSISTOR COUNT: 259 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Dual, Low-Dropout, 100mA Linear Regulators DIM C A 0.101mm 0.004 in e B A1 L A A1 B C D E e H L INCHES MAX MIN 0.044 0.036 0.008 0.004 0.014 0.010 0.007 0.005 0.120 0.116 0.120 0.116 0.0256 0.198 0.188 0.026 0.016 6 0 MILLIMETERS MIN MAX 0.91 1.11 0.10 0.20 0.25 0.36 0.13 0.18 2.95 3.05 2.95 3.05 0.65 4.78 5.03 0.41 0.66 0 6 21-0036D E H 8-PIN MAX MICROMAX SMALL-OUTLINE PACKAGE D ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX8865T/S/R, MAX8866T/S/R ________________________________________________________Package Information MAX8865T/S/R, MAX8866T/S/R Dual, Low-Dropout, 100mA Linear Regulators Maxim cannot assume responsibility for use of any circuitry other than circuitry entirely embodied in a Maxim product.
