Product details
Overview
MAX883CSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a 5V fixed-output, low-dropout linear regulator with p-channel MOSFET pass element, delivering up to 200mA output current at ≤+125°C junction temperature, featuring 11µA typical quiescent current, 220mV dropout at 5V/200mA, and shutdown mode drawing <1µA. It serves as a primary power supply for battery-powered portable instruments and cellular handsets requiring stable 5V rail generation under tight thermal and current-sink constraints.
For engineers reviewing the MAX883CSA+T datasheet, MAX883CSA+T pinout, MAX883CSA+T application, or MAX883CSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOIC-8 pin mapping, confirmed Dual Mode™ adjustable/fixed operation, reverse-current protection threshold (6–20mV), and thermal shutdown behavior at +160°C - all specific to the MAX883CSA+T variant.
Technical Context
The MAX883CSA+T employs a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor with no base-drive current, enabling ultra-low IQ across load range (11µA typ) and eliminating PNP saturation losses in dropout. Its internal 1.20V reference feeds an error amplifier that regulates via either internal feedback (5V fixed) or external resistor network (1.25–11V adjustable) selected by the SET pin voltage relative to 65mV threshold.
Dual-mode control logic, foldback current limiting (430mA above 0.8V VOUT), reverse-current protection (activated when VIN falls 6–20mV below VOUT), and thermal shutdown (+160°C trip, 10°C hysteresis) are integrated on-die. The device uses two GND pins (pins 3 & 6) for both circuit return and thermal conduction in its high-power SOIC package (θJB = 53°C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V (±2.5% over 0°C to +85°C, 4.65V to 5.35V min/max) |
| Dropout Voltage | 220mV typ at 5V/200mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 5.22V |
| Quiescent Current | 11µA typ (no load to 200mA); <1µA in OFF mode - extends battery life in sleep states |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 11.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, and USB-powered systems |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C trip with 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload |
| Reverse-Current Threshold | 6–20mV (VOUT − VIN) - blocks backfeed when input collapses below output |
| Load Regulation | 60–100mV over 1mA–200mA - ensures stable 5V rail despite dynamic load shifts |
Pinout & Package
MAX883CSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package rated for 1.5W continuous dissipation (θJB = 53°C/W), with pins 3 and 6 serving dual roles as ground connections and thermal conduction paths to PCB copper planes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (LBO) | Open-drain low-battery output | Asserts low when LBI < 1.20V; undefined in OFF mode; requires external pull-up |
| 2 (SET) | Dual-mode feedback select | <65mV → internal 5V regulation; >150mV → external resistor-adjustable mode (1.25–11V) |
| 3, 6 (GND) | Power ground / thermal pad | Must connect both to large copper area for thermal management and noise immunity |
| 4 (OUT) | Regulated 5V output | Sources up to 200mA; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability |
| 5 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.7–11.5V; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 7 (OFF) | Active-low shutdown control | Pull low to disable output and reduce IQ to <1µA; tie to IN for normal operation |
| 8 (LBI) | Low-battery comparator input | Compares against 1.20V reference; 7mV hysteresis; ±50nA leakage enables high-R divider |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ operation | Single-pin (SET) selection between factory-trimmed 5V output or user-adjustable 1.25–11V via external resistors |
| p-Channel MOSFET pass element | Eliminates base-current losses - maintains 11µA IQ across full 0–200mA load range and in dropout |
| Foldback current limiting | 430mA limit above 0.8V VOUT; reduces to 170mA during short-circuit - protects IC during fault conditions |
| Reverse-current protection | Automatically disables pass transistor when VIN drops 6–20mV below VOUT - prevents battery drain in backup scenarios |
| Thermal overload protection | +160°C shutdown with 10°C hysteresis - enables self-recovery during intermittent overload without manual reset |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76350DBVR | 5V fixed, 150mA max, 80µA IQ (typ), 350mV dropout at 150mA - higher IQ and lower current capability | Lacks reverse-current protection, LBO comparator, and Dual Mode adjustability | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for ultra-low IQ, reverse protection, or adjustable option |
| MCP1700T-5002E/MB | 5V fixed, 250mA max, 1.6µA IQ (typ), 600mV dropout at 250mA - lower IQ but significantly higher dropout | No LBI/LBO, no thermal shutdown, no foldback limiting - minimal protection features | Select only for ultra-low-power standby applications where dropout margin exceeds 0.6V and protection is handled externally |
Compared with TPS76350DBVR and MCP1700T-5002E/MB, the MAX883CSA+T uniquely combines 200mA output, 220mV dropout, <1µA shutdown IQ, reverse-current blocking, and integrated low-battery monitoring - making it optimal for compact, battery-critical systems requiring both efficiency and functional integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX883CSA+T?
The MAX883CSA+T delivers up to 200mA continuous output current at junction temperatures up to +125°C. At higher ambient temperatures or with limited PCB copper area, derating applies per the safe operating region curves in the datasheet. The device can sustain 250mA briefly, but only when (VIN − VOUT) is sufficiently low to keep power dissipation within the 1.5W SOIC package limit.
Does the MAX883CSA+T support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the MAX883CSA+T supports adjustable output from 1.25V to 11V using external resistors connected to the SET pin. When SET voltage exceeds ~150mV, the internal dual-mode comparator selects external feedback; the output is calculated as VOUT = 1.20V × (1 + R1/R2). This functionality is fully supported and characterized for the MAX883CSA+T.
How does reverse-current protection work in the MAX883CSA+T?
The MAX883CSA+T activates reverse-current protection when VIN falls 6–20mV below VOUT, turning off the p-channel pass transistor to block backflow. During activation, reverse leakage is limited to <0.01µA at 3.0V VOUT. This feature is inherent to the MAX883CSA+T's architecture and requires no external components.
What is the startup time from OFF mode for the MAX883CSA+T?
The MAX883CSA+T exits OFF mode in 200µs (0% to 95% of final VOUT) when VIN = 9V and RL = 33Ω. This specification is measured and guaranteed for the MAX883CSA+T across its operating temperature range and is independent of input capacitor value.
Is thermal shutdown implemented in the MAX883CSA+T, and what is its behavior?
Yes, the MAX883CSA+T includes thermal shutdown that trips at +160°C junction temperature with 10°C hysteresis. Upon tripping, the pass transistor turns off completely; recovery occurs automatically once TJ cools to +150°C. This behavior is fully integrated and tested for every MAX883CSA+T unit.
