Product details
Overview
MAX882CSA+ 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 battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX882CSA+ datasheet, MAX882CSA+ pinout, MAX882CSA+ application, or MAX882CSA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, Dual Mode™ fixed/adjustable operation details, standby-mode behavior (7µA typ), reverse-current protection threshold (6mV), and thermal shutdown characteristics - all confirmed for the MAX882CSA+ variant in 8-pin SOIC package.
Technical Context
The MAX882CSA+ employs a 1.20V internal reference and error amplifier driving a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor, eliminating base-current losses inherent in bipolar regulators. Its Dual Mode™ comparator selects between internal fixed feedback (3.3V) and external resistor-adjustable output (1.25V–11V) based on SET pin voltage (<65mV for fixed mode).
Standby mode (active-low STBY input) disables the output while preserving biasing circuitry, low-battery comparator, and reference - enabling continuous battery monitoring at 7µA typical supply current. Reverse-current protection activates when VIN falls 6mV below VOUT, limiting backflow to ≤15µA at 3.3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.5% (0°C to +85°C); adjustable 1.25V–11V via external resistors on SET pin |
| Dropout Voltage | 220mV at 3.3V/200mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 3.52V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery end-of-life |
| Quiescent Current | 11µA typical (no load to 200mA); 7µA typical in STBY mode - extends battery runtime in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 11.5V - supports wide-input battery stacks, solar harvesters, and unregulated wall adapters |
| Thermal Protection | Shuts down at TJ = +160°C with 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
| Reverse-Current Threshold | 6mV (typ) - blocks >99% of backfeed current when input collapses below output, protecting upstream power sources |
| Low-Battery Detection | LBI threshold = 1.20V ±40mV with 7mV hysteresis; open-drain LBO asserts low - enables precise, noise-immune battery gauge signaling |
Pinout & Package
MAX882CSA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SO) with exposed thermal pad (1.5W power rating), where pins 3 and 6 are GND - both electrically connected and thermally coupled to PCB ground plane for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (LBO) | Open-drain low-battery output | Asserts low when LBI < 1.20V; requires external pull-up; remains functional in STBY mode |
| 2 (SET) | Dual Mode™ feedback select | <65mV → internal 3.3V regulation; >150mV → external resistor-adjustable output (1.25V–11V) |
| 3,6 (GND) | Power and thermal ground | Must be soldered to large copper area; dual role as electrical return and heatsink path |
| 4 (OUT) | Regulated output | Supplies up to 200mA; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability |
| 5 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.7V–11.5V; bypass with 0.1µF–10µF capacitor near pin |
| 7 (STBY) | Active-low standby control | Pulls low to disable output while retaining LBI/LBO functionality and 7µA IQ |
| 8 (LBI) | Low-battery comparator input | Monitors battery voltage via resistor divider; ±50nA input leakage enables high-impedance sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ operation | Seamlessly switches between factory-trimmed 3.3V output and user-programmable 1.25V–11V range using same footprint and SET pin logic |
| 1.5W SOIC thermal package | θJB = 53°C/W - enables 200mA continuous output at +85°C ambient without heatsink, unlike standard SOIC (θJB = 110°C/W) |
| Reverse-current protection | Blocks backfeed at 6mV VIN–VOUT differential - eliminates need for external blocking diode in battery backup paths |
| Foldback current limiting | Reduces short-circuit current to 170mA below 0.8V output - protects IC during output-to-ground faults for up to 1 minute |
| Standby mode with live monitoring | Maintains LBI/LBO comparator and reference at 7µA IQ - allows real-time battery state awareness during system sleep |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76333DBVR | 3.3V fixed, 150mA max, 80µA IQ (typ), no standby mode, no LBI/LBO | Lacks battery monitoring and ultra-low-quiescent standby; suitable only for non-battery-critical systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs battery runtime and smart monitoring needs |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX882CSA+?
The MAX882CSA+ delivers up to 200mA continuously at junction temperatures ≤+125°C when used with adequate PCB copper area for thermal dissipation. At higher ambient temperatures or with limited heatsinking, derating applies per the 1.5W SOIC package's θJB = 53°C/W specification. The device sustains 200mA only within its safe operating region - defined by input-output differential voltage and ambient temperature - as shown in Figure 5a of the official datasheet. Exceeding these limits triggers thermal shutdown.
Does the MAX882CSA+ support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the MAX882CSA+ supports adjustable output from 1.25V to 11V using two external resistors connected to the SET pin. When SET is pulled above 150mV (e.g., via resistor divider to OUT), the internal feedback is disabled and the output follows VOUT = 1.20V × (1 + R1/R2). The MAX882CSA+'s Dual Mode™ architecture retains this capability while preserving its 3.3V fixed-output option - making it field-reprogrammable without hardware change.
How does standby mode function on the MAX882CSA+?
Standby mode on the MAX882CSA+ is activated by pulling the STBY pin low, which disconnects the IN-to-OUT path while keeping the 1.20V reference, low-battery comparator, and bias circuitry fully operational. This results in 7µA typical quiescent current - enabling continuous battery voltage monitoring and LBO assertion without powering downstream loads. Unlike OFF mode (used in MAX883/MAX884), STBY preserves all supervisory functions critical for predictive power management.
What is the reverse-current protection threshold for the MAX882CSA+?
The MAX882CSA+ activates reverse-current protection when the input voltage (VIN) falls 6mV below the output voltage (VOUT), at which point the internal substrate switching circuit isolates the input and limits reverse current to ≤15µA at 3.3V output. This threshold is specified as 6mV (typ) and 20mV (max), eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode in battery backup or dual-supply configurations - directly improving efficiency and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
Can the MAX882CSA+ be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the MAX882CSA+ is stable with ceramic output capacitors ≥2.2µF and requires no minimum ESR - unlike many older LDOs. Its internal compensation is optimized for low-ESR ceramics, simplifying design and reducing board space. A 2.2µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the OUT and GND pins ensures stability across –40°C to +85°C, while larger values (e.g., 10µF) improve transient response for pulsed loads like RF transceivers or microcontroller wake-ups.
