Product details
Overview
MAX882CPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V fixed-output, low-dropout linear regulator with p-channel MOSFET pass element, delivering up to 200mA output current at junction temperatures up to +125°C, featuring 11µA typical quiescent current, 220mV dropout at 5V/200mA, and integrated low-battery detection for portable instrumentation and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX882CPA+ datasheet, MAX882CPA+ pinout, MAX882CPA+ application, or MAX882CPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include standby-mode operation (7µA typ), reverse-current protection threshold of 6mV, thermal shutdown at +160°C, and Dual Mode™ compatibility for adjustable output via external resistors.
Technical Context
The MAX882CPA+ employs a 1.20V internal reference and error amplifier driving a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor-eliminating base-current losses inherent in bipolar regulators and enabling stable ultra-low IQ across load and dropout conditions. Its dual-mode comparator selects between internal fixed 3.3V regulation (SET = GND) or adjustable 1.25V–11V output (SET > 65mV).
Standby mode (STBY = GND) disables output while preserving biasing circuitry-including the low-battery comparator-and maintains 7µA typical supply current. Reverse-current protection activates when VIN falls 6mV below VOUT, limiting backflow to <50µA at 3.3V output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% (0°C to +85°C), enabling direct replacement for 3.3V logic rails without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 220mV at 200mA (5V input), allowing operation down to VIN = 3.52V while sustaining full load. |
| Quiescent Current | 11µA typical (no load to 200mA), minimizing battery drain in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Standby Current | 7µA typical (STBY = GND), retaining low-battery comparator functionality during sleep. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 11.5V, supporting single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, and solar-charged inputs. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C activation with 10°C hysteresis, preventing permanent damage during sustained overload. |
| Reverse-Current Threshold | 6mV (typ) differential (VOUT – VIN), blocking backfeed from output to depleted input sources. |
Pinout & Package
MAX882CPA+ is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package rated for 0°C to +70°C operation, with GND pins (pins 3 and 6) serving as both electrical ground and thermal conduction paths-requiring direct soldering to large copper pads for safe 200mA operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBO | Open-drain low-battery output | Asserts low when LBI < 1.20V; requires external pull-up; remains functional in STBY mode. |
| SET | Dual-mode feedback select | Grounded for 3.3V fixed output; >65mV enables adjustable mode using external resistor divider. |
| GND (pins 3,6) | Power and thermal ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane to dissipate heat; critical for 1.5W SO variants but still thermally relevant in PDIP. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Supplies up to 200mA; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability. |
| IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.7V–11.5V; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor recommended for transient immunity. |
| STBY | Active-low standby control | Pulls low to disable output while keeping reference, LBI/LBO, and bias active (7µA IQ). |
| LBI | Low-battery comparator input | Compares against 1.20V reference; tie to IN if unused; ±50nA input leakage enables high-R divider networks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ operation | Single-pin (SET) selection between factory-trimmed 3.3V output or user-adjustable 1.25V–11V range-no mode-change components required. |
| p-Channel MOSFET pass element | Eliminates PNP base-current loss, enabling constant 11µA IQ from no-load to 200mA and stable dropout behavior under saturation. |
| Reverse-current protection | Automatically disconnects IN from OUT when VIN drops 6mV below VOUT, preventing battery backfeed and protecting upstream sources. |
| Foldback current limiting | Reduces short-circuit current to 170mA below 0.8V output, enabling 1-minute safe short-to-ground at 3.3V without thermal damage. |
| Integrated low-battery comparator | 1.20V reference with 7mV hysteresis and open-drain LBO output-operational during STBY mode for continuous battery monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout, low-IQ linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX884CSA+ | Same 3.3V fixed output, SO-8 package, -40°C to +85°C temp range, 1µA OFF-mode current (vs. MAX882CPA+'s 7µA STBY). | Requires full shutdown (not partial standby); lacks STBY pin-unsuitable where LBI/LBO must remain active during sleep. | Select MAX884CSA+ for wider temperature range and lower shutdown IQ; use MAX882CPA+ when standby-mode comparator retention is mandatory. |
| TPS76333DBVR | 3.3V fixed LDO, 150mA output, 80µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package, no standby mode or LBO/LBI functions. | No battery-monitoring features; limited thermal margin at 200mA; incompatible pinout and feature set. | Choose TPS76333DBVR only for space-constrained designs accepting reduced current capability and no battery supervision. |
Compared with MAX884CSA+, MAX882CPA+ provides unique standby-mode retention of low-battery monitoring at 7µA, while TPS76333DBVR trades supervision and current capability for footprint reduction-making MAX882CPA+ optimal for battery-aware portable instruments requiring guaranteed 200mA delivery and persistent voltage monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current of the MAX882CPA+ and under what conditions is it guaranteed?
The MAX882CPA+ delivers up to 200mA output current, tested and guaranteed over 0°C to +70°C ambient with proper PCB thermal design-specifically requiring connection of both GND pins to a large copper area. At higher ambient temperatures or with inadequate heatsinking, derating applies per the 727mW PDIP power dissipation limit and thermal resistance (θJA ≈ 110°C/W). The device can sustain 200mA only when (VIN – VOUT) remains within safe power-dissipation boundaries, as shown in Figure 5a of the datasheet.
Does the MAX882CPA+ support adjustable output voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX882CPA+ supports adjustable output from 1.25V to 11V via its Dual Mode™ architecture. To enable adjustable mode, the SET pin must be biased above 65mV (typically using a resistor divider from OUT to GND), which disables the internal 3.3V feedback network. The output voltage is then calculated as VOUT = 1.20V × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 connects SET to GND and R1 connects OUT to SET. Input bias current at SET is ±50nA, permitting high-value resistors (up to 1.5MΩ for R2) without accuracy loss.
How does standby mode (STBY) differ from shutdown mode in the MAX882CPA+?
Standby mode (activated by pulling STBY low) disconnects the output from the input while keeping the internal reference, low-battery comparator (LBI/LBO), and bias circuitry fully operational-drawing only 7µA typical. This enables continuous battery monitoring during sleep. In contrast, the MAX882CPA+ does not implement an OFF pin; that function is exclusive to MAX883/MAX884. Therefore, MAX882CPA+ has no true shutdown mode-only STBY-and cannot achieve sub-1µA quiescent current like the MAX884CSA+.
What is the purpose and behavior of the LBO pin on the MAX882CPA+?
The LBO (Low-Battery Output) pin on the MAX882CPA+ is an open-drain output that pulls low when the voltage on the LBI pin falls below the internal 1.20V reference-indicating low battery condition. It features 7mV hysteresis for noise immunity and remains fully functional during STBY mode. An external pull-up resistor (to IN or OUT) is required. LBO sinks up to 1.2mA and outputs <250mV low when active. It is undefined only during OFF mode-which MAX882CPA+ does not support-so LBO is always valid in its operational states.
Can the MAX882CPA+ be used with input voltages below 2.7V, and what happens near the dropout region?
No-the absolute minimum input voltage for guaranteed operation is 2.7V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below this, regulation is not assured and device behavior is undefined. Near dropout (where VIN approaches VOUT + ∆VDO), the MAX882CPA+ maintains regulation with only 220mV headroom at 200mA, thanks to its p-channel MOSFET pass element. Unlike bipolar regulators, it exhibits no increase in quiescent current or instability in dropout, and continues delivering full load until VIN drops below the dropout threshold.
