Product details
Overview
MAX8863SEUK-T from ON Semiconductor is a fixed-output, low-dropout linear regulator delivering up to 120 mA with a preset 2.84 V output, 55 mV dropout at 50 mA, and 50 µA quiescent current - designed for battery-powered portable electronics including cellular handsets and PCMCIA cards.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8863SEUK-T datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under load, shutdown current (0.002 µA typ.), thermal shutdown threshold (170°C), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX8863SEUK-T integrates a 1.20 V bandgap reference, error amplifier, MOSFET driver, and P-channel pass transistor to regulate output precisely. Its internal feedback divider fixes VOUT at 2.84 V, eliminating external resistor networks.
Shutdown is controlled via active-low SHDN pin, enabling <0.1 nA supply current and active output discharge. Thermal protection triggers at 170°C with 20°C hysteresis, and current limiting operates at 280 mA (design range: 150–410 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.84 V ±50 mV over full temperature and load range - ensures stable core logic or RF bias rail without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 120 mA continuous - supports moderate-power baseband ICs or sensor subsystems in handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 55 mV at 50 mA - extends usable battery life down to ~2.89 V input for Li-ion cells near end-of-discharge. |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA (in regulation), 0.002 µA typ. in shutdown - minimizes standby drain in always-on subsystems. |
| PSRR | 62 dB at low frequency, rolling off above 300 Hz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters. |
| Output Noise | 350 µVRMS (10 Hz–1 MHz) - suitable for powering analog front-ends or ADC reference supplies requiring low noise. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (Case 1212), 2.80 mm × 2.50 mm footprint, with exposed GND pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 2 and Pin 5 are both GND - one serves as primary ground, the other as thermal pad connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Pulls regulator into ultra-low-current shutdown (<0.1 nA); actively discharges OUT to GND when asserted. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground / thermal sink | Primary ground return path; must be soldered to large copper area to maintain TJ ≤ +150°C at full load. |
| 3 - IN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.5 V to 6.0 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin for stability. |
| 4 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 120 mA; requires ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor with ≤1 Ω ESR for transient response and stability. |
| 5 - GND | Secondary ground / thermal pad | Connected internally to die substrate; enhances thermal conduction when soldered to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with any capacitor type | Eliminates ESR dependency - enables use of low-cost aluminum or tantalum caps where ceramic is unavailable. |
| Low-noise output | 350 µVRMS noise floor supports high-resolution ADCs and sensitive RF circuitry without added filtering. |
| Fast turn-on settling | 140 µsec typical time to settle within 2% of final VOUT after SHDN release - critical for burst-mode power management. |
| Internal current limit | 280 mA hard limit protects against short-circuit faults while allowing safe operation up to 120 mA continuous. |
| Thermal hysteresis | 20°C gap between shutdown activation (170°C) and recovery (150°C) prevents oscillation during thermal stress. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76328DBVR | 2.8 V output (±2%), 150 mA max, 125 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package | Higher quiescent current reduces battery life in ultra-low-power standby; no active output discharge in shutdown | Select when higher output current margin is needed and shutdown discharge is not required. |
| MCP1702T-2802E/MB | 2.8 V output (±1%), 250 mA max, 4 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package | Lower IQ improves long-term battery hold-up; no thermal shutdown or current limit protection | Select for energy-harvesting or coin-cell applications where protection features are secondary to ultra-low IQ. |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX8863SEUK-T across temperature and load?
The MAX8863SEUK-T delivers a nominal 2.84 V output with a guaranteed tolerance of ±0.09 V (±3.2%) over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and 0–50 mA load current, per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table. This specification ensures reliable operation for 2.8 V logic rails without external trimming or calibration.
Does the MAX8863SEUK-T require an external capacitor on the SHDN pin for stable operation?
No, the MAX8863SEUK-T does not require an external capacitor on the SHDN pin. The shutdown input has only 50 nA bias current and is TTL/CMOS compatible; it functions reliably with direct connection to a microcontroller GPIO or pull-up resistor. Adding capacitance may slow turn-on response and is unnecessary for noise immunity in typical PCB layouts.
Can the MAX8863SEUK-T safely drive a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the MAX8863SEUK-T is explicitly designed to be stable with any capacitor type and value, including 10 µF ceramic capacitors. Unlike many LDOs, it imposes no minimum ESR requirement - enabling use of low-ESR ceramics for improved transient response without risk of oscillation or instability.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the MAX8863SEUK-T when operating at 85°C ambient?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the MAX8863SEUK-T is 6.5 V at all temperatures, including +85°C ambient. However, for reliable continuous operation, VIN must remain ≤6.0 V per the recommended operating conditions, and power dissipation must stay within thermal limits - e.g., at 120 mA load and 6.0 V input, ensure adequate PCB copper area on GND pins to maintain junction temperature ≤+150°C.
How does the MAX8863SEUK-T behave during thermal shutdown, and can it self-recover?
When the MAX8863SEUK-T junction temperature exceeds 170°C, thermal shutdown activates, turning off the pass transistor and reducing output to zero. It self-recovers once the junction cools by 20°C (to ~150°C), at which point regulation resumes automatically - no external reset or power cycle is needed. This hysteresis prevents oscillatory shutdown/restart under sustained overload.
