19-4537; Rev 0; 3/09 High PSRR, Low-Dropout, 150mA Linear Regulators The MAX8891/MAX8892 low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators are designed to deliver up to 150mA continuous output current. These regulators achieve a low 120mV dropout for 120mA load current. The MAX8891 only requires an input/output capacitor, hence achieving the smallest PCB area. The MAX8892's output voltage can be adjusted with an external divider. The MAX8891 is preset to a variety of voltages in the 1.5V to 4.5V range. Designed with a p-channel MOSFET series pass transistor, the MAX8891/MAX8892 maintain very low ground current (40A). The regulators are designed and optimized to work with low-value, low-cost ceramic capacitors. The MAX8891/ MAX8892 require only 1F (typ) of output capacitance for stability with any load. When disabled, current consumption drops to below 1A. These regulators are available in a tiny 5-pin SC70 package.

Pull low to disable the regulator. Adjustable Output Feedback Point Detailed Description The MAX8891/MAX8892 are low-dropout, low-quiescent current linear regulators designed for spacerestricted applications. The parts are available with preset output voltages ranging from 1.5V to 4.5V in 100mV increments. These devices can supply loads up to 150mA. As shown in the Functional Diagram, the MAX8891 consists of an innovative bandgap core, error amplifier, p-channel pass transistor, and internal feedback voltage-divider. The MAX8892 allows for adjustable output with an external feedback network. Additional blocks include a current limiter, thermal sensor, and shutdown logic. The 1.225V bandgap reference is connected to the error amplifier's inverting input. The error amplifier compares this reference with the feedback voltage and amplifies the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the pass-transistor gate is pulled low. This allows more current to pass to the output and increases the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is too high, the pass transistor gate is pulled high, allowing less current to pass to the output. The output voltage is fed back through an internal (external for the MAX8892) resistor voltage-divider connected to the OUT pin. Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor The MAX8891/MAX8892 feature a 1 (typ) p-channel MOSFET pass transistor. This provides several advantages over similar designs using a PNP pass transistor, including longer battery life. The p-channel MOSFET requires no base drive, which considerably reduces quiescent current. PNP-based regulators waste considerable current in dropout when the pass transistor saturates. They also use high base-drive current under heavy loads. The MAX8891/MAX8892 do not suffer from these problems and consume only 40A of quiescent current in light load and 220A in dropout (see the Typical Operating Characteristics). Output Voltage Selection The MAX8891 is supplied with factory-set output voltages from 1.5V to 4.5V, in 100mV increments (see the Ordering Information). The MAX8892 features a useradjustable output through an external feedback network (see the Typical Operating Circuits). To set the output of the MAX8892, use the following equation: VOUT - 1 R1 = R2 X VREF where R2 is chosen to be less than 240k and VREF = 1.225V. Use 1% or better resistors. Shutdown The MAX8891/MAX8892 feature a low-power shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current less than 1A. Driving SHDN low disables the voltage reference, error amplifier, gate-drive circuitry, and pass transistor (see the Functional Diagram), and the device output enters a high-impedance state. Connect SHDN to IN for normal operation. Current Limit The MAX8891/MAX8892 include a current limiter, which monitors and controls the pass transistor's gate voltage, limiting the output current to 200mA. The output can be continuously shorted to ground without damaging the part. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5 MAX8891/MAX8892 Pin Description MAX8891/MAX8892 High PSRR, Low-Dropout, 150mA Linear Regulators Thermal-Overload Protection Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX8891/MAX8892. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +160C, the thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic, turning off the pass transistor and allowing the IC to cool down. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on again after the IC's junction temperature drops by 10C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal-overload conditions. Thermal-overload protection is designed to protect the MAX8891/MAX8892 in the event of a fault condition. For continual operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature rating of TJ = +150C. Operating Region and Power Dissipation The MAX8891/MAX8892 maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the case and circuit board, the temperature difference between the die junction and ambient, and the rate of airflow. The power dissipation across the device is: P = IOUT (VIN - VOUT) The maximum power dissipation is: PMAX = (TJ - TA)/(JC + CA) where TJ - TA is the temperature difference between the MAX8891/MAX8892 die junction and the surrounding air, JC is the thermal resistance of the package, and CA is the thermal resistance through the PCB, copper traces, and other materials to the surrounding air. The GND pin of the MAX8891/MAX8892 performs the dual function of providing an electrical connection to ground and channeling heat away. Connect the GND pin to ground using a large pad or ground plane. 6 Applications Information Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability Use a 1F capacitor on the MAX8891/MAX8892 input and a 1F capacitor on the output. Larger input capacitor values and lower ESRs provide better noise rejection and line-transient response. Reduce output noise and improve load-transient response, stability, and powersupply rejection by using large output capacitors. Note that some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capacitance and ESR variation with temperature. With dielectrics such as Z5U and Y5V, it may be necessary to use a 2.2F or larger output capacitor to ensure stability at temperatures below -10C. With X7R or X5R dielectrics, 1F is sufficient at all operating temperatures. A graph of the region of stable COUT ESR vs. load current is shown in the Typical Operating Characteristics. PSRR and Transient Response The MAX8891/MAX8892 are designed to deliver high PSRR as well as low dropout and low quiescent currents in battery-powered systems. The MAX8891/MAX8892 power-supply rejection is 65dB at 10kHz. 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. The Typical Operating Characteristics show the MAX8891/MAX8892 line- and load-transient responses. Dropout Voltage A regulator's minimum dropout voltage determines the lowest usable supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the MAX8891/MAX8892 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). _______________________________________________________________________________________ High PSRR, Low-Dropout, 150mA Linear Regulators IN SHDN SHUTDOWN AND POWER-ON CONTROL ERROR AMP MAX8891/ MAX8892 MOS DRIVER WITH ILIMIT P OUT * THERMAL SENSOR FB** 1.225V REFERENCE * GND *MAX8891 ONLY **MAX8892 ONLY Output Voltage Selector Guide PART VOUT (V) TOP MARK MAX8891EXK15+T 1.5 ATI MAX8891EXK18+T 1.8 ATJ MAX8891EXK25+T 2.5 ATL MAX8891EXK26+T 2.6 ATM MAX8891EXK28+T 2.8 ATO MAX8891EXK29+T 2.85 ATP MAX8891EXK89+T 2.9 ATV MAX8891EXK31+T 3.1 ATR MAX8891EXK33+T 3.3 ATS MAX8891EXK45+T 4.5 ATU MAX8892EXK+T Adjustable ATW Chip Information PROCESS: BiCMOS Note: Standard output voltage options, shown in bold, are available.
