General Description
The MAX8860 low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator operates from a +2.5V to +6.5V input and is guaran­teed to deliver 300mA. Typical output noise for this device is 60µV
, and typical dropout is 105mV at 200mA. In addition to the six available preset output voltages (+1.8V, +2.5V, +2.77V, +2.82V, +3.0V, and +3.3V), the Dual Mode™ feature allows the device to be configured as an adjustable output regulator from +1.25V to +6.5V.
Designed with an internal P-channel MOSFET pass tran­sistor, the MAX8860 has a low 120µA supply current. An output fault-detection circuit indicates loss of regulation. Other features include a 10nA, logic-controlled shut­down mode, short-circuit and thermal-shutdown protec­tion, and reverse battery protection. The MAX8860 is available in a miniature 8-pin µMAX package.

Detailed Description
The MAX8860 is a low-dropout, low-quiescent-current linear regulator designed primarily for battery-powered applications. It supplies an adjustable +1.25V to +6.5V output voltage or a fixed-voltage output of +1.8V (MAX8860EUA18), +2.5V (MAX8860EUA25), +2.77V (MAX8860EUA27), +2.82V (MAX8860EUA28), +3.0V (MAX8860EUA30), or +3.3V (MAX8860EUA33) for load currents up to 300mA. The devices with 2.77V and
2.82V nominal outputs are designed to guarantee mini­mum output voltages of 2.70V and 2.75V, respectively. The device consists of a +1.25V reference, error amplifi­er, MOSFET driver, P-channel pass transistor, Dual Mode comparator, fault detector, and internal-feedback voltage divider (Figure 1).
The 1.25V bandgap reference is connected to the error amplifier’s inverting input. The error amplifier compares
this reference to the selected feedback voltage and amplifies the difference. The MOSFET driver reads the error signal and applies the appropriate drive to the P­channel pass transistor. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the pass-transistor gate is pulled lower, allowing more current to pass and increasing the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the pass-transistor gate is driven higher, allowing less current to pass to the output. The output voltage is fed back through either an internal resistor voltage divider connected to OUT, or an external resistor network connected to SET. The Dual Mode comparator examines V
SET
and selects
the feedback path. If V
SET
is below 60mV, internal feedback is used and the output voltage is regulated to the preset output voltage. Additional blocks include an output current limiter, reverse battery protection, a ther­mal sensor, a fault detector, and shutdown logic.

Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The MAX8860 features a 0.5typical P-channel MOSFET pass transistor. This provides several advan­tages over similar designs using PNP pass transistors, including longer battery life. PNP-based regulators waste considerable amounts of current in dropout when the pass transistor saturates. They also use high base­drive currents under large loads. The P-channel MOSFET requires no base-drive current, which reduces quiescent current considerably. The MAX8860 con­sumes less than 165µA of quiescent current whether in dropout, light-load, or heavy-load applications (see Typical Operating Characteristics).
Output Voltage Selection
The MAX8860 features Dual Mode operation: it operates in either a preset voltage mode or an adjustable mode. In preset voltage mode, internal, trimmed feedback resistors set the output voltage to an adjustable +1.25V to +6.5V output voltage or a fixed-voltage output of +1.8V (MAX8860EUA18), +2.5V (MAX8860EUA25), +2.77V (MAX8860EUA27), +2.82V (MAX8860EUA28), +3.V (MAX8860EUA30), or +3.3V (MAX8860EUA33). Select this mode by connecting SET to ground. In adjustable mode, select an output between 1.25V and
6.5V using two external resistors connected as a voltage divider to SET (Figure 2). Calculate the output voltage with the following equation:

Choose R2 = 100kto optimize power consumption, accuracy, and high-frequency power-supply rejection. Ensure that the total current through the external resis­tive feedback and load resistors is not less than 10µA. Since the V
SET
tolerance is typically less than ±20mV,
set the output using fixed resistors instead of trim pots.
In preset voltage mode, connect SET to GND. Keep impedances between SET and ground to less than 100k. Otherwise, spurious conditions can cause V
SET
to exceed the 60mV Dual Mode threshold.
Shutdown
Drive SHDN low to place the MAX8860 in shutdown mode. In shutdown mode, the pass transistor, control circuit, reference, and all biases are turned off, reduc­ing the supply current to typically 10nA. Connect SHDN to IN for normal operation.
Current Limit
The MAX8860 includes short-circuit protection. It includes a current limiter that controls the pass transistor’s gate voltage to limit the output current to about 770mA. For design purposes, the minimum current limit is 330mA.
Thermal-Overload Protection
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipa­tion in the MAX8860. When the junction temperature (TJ) exceeds +170°C, the thermal sensor sends a sig­nal to the shutdown logic, turning off the pass transistor and allowing the IC to cool. The pass transistor turns on again after the IC’s junction temperature typically cools by 20°C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal-overload conditions.
Thermal-overload protection is designed to protect the MAX8860 against fault conditions. Stressing the device with high-load currents and high input-output differen­tial voltages (which result in die temperatures above +125°C) may cause a momentary overshoot (2% to 8% for 200ms) when the load is completely removed. Remedy this by raising the minimum load current from 0 (+125°C) to 100µA (+150°C). This is accomplished with an external load resistor. For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction tempera­ture rating of +150°C.
Operating Region and
Power Dissipation
Maximum power dissipation of the MAX8860 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 dis­sipated by the device is:
P = I
OUT(VIN
- V
OUT
)
The maximum power dissipation is:
P
MAX
= (T
JMAX
- TA) / θ
JA
where: T
JMAX
= +150°C
TAis the ambient temperature
θJA= 244°C/W
The MAX8860’s pins perform the dual function of provid­ing an electrical connection as well as channeling heat away from the die. Use wide circuit-board traces and large, solid copper polygons to improve power dissipa­tion. Using multiple vias to buried ground planes further enhances thermal conductivity.
Reverse Battery Protection
The MAX8860 has a unique protection scheme that lim­its the reverse supply current to less than 1mA when either V
IN
or V
S HDN
falls below GND. The circuitry monitors the polarity of these two pins, disconnecting the internal circuitry and parasitic diodes when the applied voltage is reversed. This feature prevents the device from overheating and damaging an improperly installed battery.
Integrator Circuitry
The MAX8860 uses an external 33nF compensation capacitor for minimizing load- and line-regulation errors and for lowering output noise. When the output voltage shifts due to varying load current or input voltage, the integrator capacitor voltage is raised or lowered to compensate for the systematic offset at the error ampli­fier. Compensation is limited to ±5% to minimize tran­sient overshoot when the device goes out of dropout, current limit, or thermal shutdown.
Fault-Detection Circuitry
When the output voltage goes out of regulation—such as during dropout, current limit, or thermal shutdown— FAULT goes low. In addition, the fault-detection circuitry detects when the input-to-output voltage differential is insufficient to ensure good load and line regulation at the output. When the input-to-output voltage differential is less than 130mV for a load current of 200mA, FAULT also goes low. The differential threshold is designed to be always higher than and track with the dropout volt­age, and to scale proportionally with load current (see Fault Detect Threshold vs. Load Current graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
The FAULT pin is an open-drain N-channel MOSFET. To create a voltage level output, connect a pull-up resistor from FAULT to OUT. To minimize current consumption, make this resistor as large as practical. A 100kresistor works well for most applications.

VIN> +5.5V Minimum Load
Current Requirements
When operating the MAX8860 with an input voltage above +5.5V, a minimum load current of 20µA is required to maintain regulation in preset voltage mode. When setting the output with external resistors, ensure that the minimum current through the external feedback resistors and load is at least 30µA. This applies only when the input voltage exceeds +5.5V. For input volt­ages less than +5.5V, the MAX8860 maintains regula­tion and stability without external loading.
Applications Information
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
Typically, use a 2.2µF capacitor on the input and a
2.2µF capacitor on the output of the MAX8860. Capacitor type is not critical, as long as it has an ESR less than 0.5. Larger capacitor values and lower ESR provide better supply-noise rejection and transient response. Use higher-value capacitors (10µF) if large, fast input or load transients are anticipated or if the device is located several inches from the power source. For stable operation over the full temperature range, with load currents up to 300mA, a minimum output­capacitor value of 2.2µF is recommended. There is no upper limit to capacitor size. The circuit used to gener­ate the typical operating characteristics data used
2.2µF, X7R, 16V (1206) ceramic capacitors. These capacitors typically have an ESR of 50mΩ.
Power-Supply Rejection and Operation
from Sources Other than Batteries
The MAX8860 is designed to deliver low dropout volt­age and low quiescent current in battery-powered sys­tems. Power-supply rejection is 67dB at low frequencies and rolls off above 100kHz. At high frequencies, the out­put capacitor is the major contributor to the rejection of power-supply noise (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 by using passive filtering techniques (see the supply and load-transient responses in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
Load-Transient Considerations
The MAX8860 load-transient response graph (see Typical Operating Characteristics) shows the output response due to changing load current. Reduce over­shoot by increasing the output capacitor’s value and decreasing its ESR.

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 MAX8860 uses a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor, its dropout voltage is a function of R
