Product details
Overview
MAX883ESA-T from Maxim Integrated is a 5V fixed-output, low-dropout linear regulator with p-channel MOSFET pass device, delivering up to 200mA output current at junction temperatures up to +125°C, featuring 11µA typical quiescent current, 220mV dropout at 5V/200mA, and shutdown mode drawing <1µA - deployed in battery-powered cellular phones and portable instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX883ESA-T datasheet, MAX883ESA-T pinout, MAX883ESA-T application, or MAX883ESA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under load, shutdown current, thermal derating in SOIC-8, reverse-current protection threshold, and Dual Mode™ configurability for adjustable outputs.
Technical Context
The MAX883ESA-T uses an internal 1.20V reference and error amplifier to regulate output via a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor with no base-drive loss, enabling stable 5V regulation across 2.7V–11.5V input range. Its dual-mode comparator selects feedback path based on SET pin voltage (<65mV for fixed mode).
Shutdown logic disables all circuitry including reference and bias networks when OFF pin is pulled low, reducing supply current below 1µA; thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with 10°C hysteresis, and foldback current limiting restricts output to 430mA above 0.8V VOUT or 170mA during short-circuit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±2.5% (–40°C to +85°C), supports 1.25V–11V adjustable mode via external resistors |
| Dropout Voltage | 220mV typical at 5V/200mA - enables operation with only 0.22V headroom above output |
| Quiescent Current | 11µA typical (no load to 200mA), <1µA in shutdown - extends battery life in standby systems |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 11.5V - accommodates single Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, or regulated intermediate rails |
| Thermal Protection | Activates at +160°C junction temperature with 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during overload |
| Reverse-Current Threshold | 6mV (typ) differential (VOUT – VIN) - blocks backfeed when input collapses below output |
| Load Regulation | ±60mV over 100µA–200mA load - ensures stable 5V supply across dynamic current demands |
Pinout & Package
MAX883ESA-T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package rated for 1.5W power dissipation (θJB = 53°C/W), with exposed GND pins serving as thermal conduction paths to PCB ground planes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBO | Open-drain low-battery output | Asserts low when LBI < 1.20V; undefined in shutdown - requires external pull-up for power-fail indication |
| SET | Dual-mode feedback select | Grounded for 5V fixed output; connects to resistor divider for adjustable mode (1.25V–11V) |
| GND (Pins 3 & 6) | Power and thermal ground | Must be soldered to large copper area - dual role as electrical return and heat sink |
| OUT | Regulated output | Sources up to 200mA; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor for stability |
| IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.7V–11.5V; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor near pin for transient immunity |
| OFF | Active-low shutdown control | Pull low to disable all circuitry and reduce IQ to <1µA; tie to IN for normal operation |
| LBI | Low-battery comparator input | Compares against 1.20V reference; tie to IN if unused or configure with resistor divider for custom trip point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ operation | Seamlessly switches between factory-trimmed 5V output and user-adjustable 1.25V–11V via SET pin voltage detection |
| p-Channel MOSFET pass device | Eliminates PNP base-current losses - maintains ultra-low 11µA IQ across full 200mA load range |
| Foldback current limiting | Reduces output current to 170mA during short-circuit (VOUT < 0.8V), protecting IC for 1-minute fault duration |
| Reverse-current protection | Automatically disconnects IN from OUT when VIN falls 6mV below VOUT, limiting backfeed to ~15µA at 3.3V |
| High-power SOIC-8 package | 1.5W rating (vs. 0.47W standard SOIC) enables higher IOUT/VIN combinations without thermal derating |
Applications

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 | Fixed 5V output, 150mA max, 90µA IQ, 300mV dropout at 5V/150mA, SOT-23-5 package | Lower output current and higher dropout limit use in space-constrained, lower-power systems only | Select when board area is critical and load never exceeds 150mA with >300mV input headroom available |
| MCP1703T-5002E/MB | Fixed 5V output, 250mA max, 4µA IQ, 600mV dropout at 5V/250mA, SOT-23-5 package | Ultra-low IQ but significantly higher dropout - unsuitable for Li-ion or low-headroom inputs | Prefer for coin-cell or multi-alkaline applications where ultra-low standby drain outweighs dropout penalty |
Compared with TPS76350DBVR and MCP1703T-5002E/MB, the MAX883ESA-T uniquely balances 200mA capability, 220mV dropout, and 11µA IQ in a thermally robust SOIC-8 - making it optimal for battery-powered systems requiring both high current and extended runtime.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for MAX883ESA-T over temperature?
The MAX883ESA-T guarantees 5V output within ±2.5% (4.75V to 5.25V) over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX883E_A grade devices. This tolerance includes initial trim, line/load regulation, and temperature drift effects - ensuring reliable 5V rail integrity in industrial portable equipment.
Does MAX883ESA-T support adjustable output voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX883ESA-T supports adjustable output from 1.25V to 11V using Dual Mode™ operation. To enable adjustable mode, disconnect SET from GND and connect it to a resistor divider between OUT and GND. The output voltage follows VOUT = 1.20V × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 connects to GND. The MAX883ESA-T's SET pin draws only ±50nA, allowing high-value resistors to minimize power loss.
What is the maximum continuous output current for MAX883ESA-T at +85°C ambient?
At +85°C ambient, the MAX883ESA-T's maximum continuous output current depends on input-output differential voltage and PCB thermal design. With a 1.5W SOIC package and proper ground-plane heatsinking, it delivers 200mA continuously up to +125°C junction temperature - verified per Figure 5b in the datasheet. For VIN = 7V and VOUT = 5V, sustained 200mA is achievable with adequate copper area.
How does reverse-current protection function in MAX883ESA-T, and what is its activation threshold?
The MAX883ESA-T activates reverse-current protection when VIN falls 6mV (typical) below VOUT, switching substrate connections to block backfeed. This limits reverse current to ~15µA at 3.3V and ~50µA at 5V. The feature is intrinsic - no external components required - and protects batteries from discharging through the regulator when input sources collapse, such as during solar panel nighttime conditions.
Can MAX883ESA-T be used with ceramic output capacitors, and what is the minimum value?
Yes, the MAX883ESA-T is stable with ceramic output capacitors. The minimum required capacitance is 2.2µF, with no ESR dependency - unlike older LDOs. Ceramic capacitors are preferred for their low ESR, small footprint, and wide temperature stability. Ensure the capacitor retains ≥2.2µF across –40°C to +85°C; X7R or X5R dielectrics meet this requirement reliably in the MAX883ESA-T application.
