Product details
Overview
MAX8865REUA from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-dropout linear regulator IC delivering two independent 2.80V outputs at up to 100mA each, operating from +2.5V to +5.5V input. It features PMOS pass transistors (1.1Ω typical RDS(ON)), 55mV dropout at 50mA, 145µA operating supply current, and reverse battery protection - designed for space-constrained, battery-powered portable systems including cellular phones and PCMCIA cards.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8865REUA datasheet, MAX8865REUA pinout, MAX8865REUA application, or MAX8865REUA equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 2.80V dual-output capability, µMAX-8 package footprint, independent active-low shutdown control per channel, thermal shutdown at +170°C, and Dual Mode™ operation enabling either preset or adjustable output configuration.
Technical Context
The MAX8865REUA integrates two independent linear regulators sharing a 1.25V bandgap reference and thermal sensor, each with its own error amplifier, MOSFET driver, P-channel pass transistor, and Dual Mode comparator. The SET1/SET2 pins determine feedback path selection: grounding them enables fixed 2.80V regulation via internal trimmed resistors; external resistor dividers enable adjustable 1.25V–5.5V outputs.
Each regulator includes independent current limiting (~220mA typical), short-circuit protection with infinite duration tolerance, and reverse battery protection limiting reverse current to <1mA. Unlike the MAX8866, the MAX8865REUA lacks auto-discharge functionality - shutdown disables the selected regulator but does not actively pull its output to ground.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.80V per channel (±3% over -40°C to +85°C), set by internal feedback when SET1/SET2 = GND |
| Max Output Current | 100mA per channel - supports dual-rail power for baseband processors and RF front-ends in handheld devices |
| Dropout Voltage | 55mV at 50mA load - enables operation down to VIN = 2.855V while maintaining regulation at 2.80V |
| Supply Current | 145µA total at 200mA combined load - ensures minimal quiescent drain during active operation, even in dropout |
| Input Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V - compatible with single Li-ion, Li-polymer, or 3-cell NiMH battery inputs |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at +170°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload without PCB-level thermal design overhead |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Limits reverse current to <1mA when VIN or SHDNx falls below GND - prevents battery damage and IC overheating in miswired installations |
Pinout & Package
MAX8865REUA is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3.05mm × 3.05mm × 0.91mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts. Thermal performance is enhanced by direct soldering of the exposed GND pad to the board's ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 (Pin 1) | Regulator 1 output | Delivers up to 100mA at 2.80V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability |
| IN (Pin 2) | Input supply rail | Accepts +2.5V to +5.5V; requires 2µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND near pin |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power and signal reference | Common return for both regulators; must be connected to large copper area for thermal dissipation |
| OUT2 (Pin 4) | Regulator 2 output | Independent 100mA, 2.80V output; identical bypassing requirement as OUT1 |
| SET2 (Pin 5) | Feedback select for OUT2 | Ground to enable fixed 2.80V mode; connect to external divider for adjustable output (1.25V–5.5V) |
| SET1 (Pin 6) | Feedback select for OUT1 | Ground to enable fixed 2.80V mode; functionally identical to SET2 |
| SHDN1 (Pin 7) | Active-low enable for OUT1 | Pull low to disable OUT1; pulls regulator into ultra-low-IQ state (<0.16nA) when both SHDNx are low |
| SHDN2 (Pin 8) | Active-low enable for OUT2 | Independent control of OUT2; no auto-discharge - unlike MAX8866, output floats in shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ operation | Single-pin (SETx) selection between factory-trimmed 2.80V output or externally adjustable 1.25V–5.5V range - eliminates need for separate fixed/adjustable SKUs |
| P-channel MOSFET pass transistors | 1.1Ω typical RDS(ON) enables 55mV dropout at 50mA and eliminates base-drive current - reduces IQ vs. PNP-based LDOs by >50% |
| Independent shutdown control | SHDN1/SHDN2 allow selective powering of subsystems (e.g., RF vs. baseband) without affecting the other rail - critical for dynamic power management |
| Reverse battery protection | Internal circuitry disconnects parasitic paths when VIN or SHDNx < GND - prevents >1mA reverse current and avoids external diode losses |
| Low-noise regulation | 350µVRMS output noise (10Hz–1MHz) supports analog-sensitive loads like 12-bit+ ADCs and VCOs without additional filtering |
Applications
| Cellular Telephones | Cordless Telephones |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8866REUA | Includes auto-discharge on shutdown (actively pulls OUTx to GND); otherwise identical pinout, specs, and package | Required where rapid output discharge is needed (e.g., to meet reset timing or prevent back-powering of upstream circuitry) | Select MAX8866REUA only if auto-discharge is mandatory; MAX8865REUA offers lower cost and same regulation performance without it |
| TSM1024IDT | Single 2.8V output (not dual), SO-8 package, higher 250µA quiescent current, no reverse battery protection | Suitable for simpler systems needing only one regulated rail and lacking reverse polarity risk | Use TSM1024IDT only when dual outputs are unnecessary and board space allows SO-8; MAX8865REUA provides true dual-rail integration in smaller µMAX footprint |
Compared with MAX8866REUA, the MAX8865REUA trades auto-discharge capability for cost and simplicity in applications where output floating in shutdown is acceptable. Against TSM1024IDT, it delivers twice the output channels, 42% lower IQ, and integrated reverse polarity protection - justifying its use in compact, battery-critical dual-rail designs.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX8865REUA deliver?
The MAX8865REUA delivers two independent, factory-trimmed 2.80V outputs (±3% over -40°C to +85°C) when SET1 and SET2 pins are grounded. This fixed voltage is specific to the "R" suffix variant and cannot be altered without reconfiguring to adjustable mode using external resistors - which would change the output from 2.80V.
Does the MAX8865REUA support adjustable output voltages?
Yes, the MAX8865REUA supports adjustable outputs from 1.25V to 5.5V per channel via external resistor dividers connected to SET1 and SET2. In this mode, the internal 2.80V trim is disabled. The output is calculated as VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2), with R2 typically set to 100kΩ for optimal accuracy and PSRR.
How does shutdown work on the MAX8865REUA?
The MAX8865REUA features independent active-low shutdown: pulling SHDN1 low disables OUT1, and pulling SHDN2 low disables OUT2. When both are low, total supply current drops to ~0.16nA. Unlike the MAX8866REUA, the MAX8865REUA does not provide auto-discharge - outputs float rather than being actively pulled to ground during shutdown.
What protection features does the MAX8865REUA include?
The MAX8865REUA includes thermal shutdown (trips at +170°C with 20°C hysteresis), short-circuit protection (infinite duration tolerance), output current limiting (~220mA typical), and reverse battery protection (limits reverse current to <1mA when VIN or SHDNx falls below GND). It does not include output auto-discharge or input overvoltage protection.
Is the MAX8865REUA pin-compatible with other variants in the family?
Yes, all MAX8865T/S/R and MAX8866T/S/R variants share identical 8-pin µMAX pinouts and electrical interfaces. The "R" suffix denotes 2.80V fixed output, "S" is 2.84V, and "T" is 3.15V. Functionally, MAX8865REUA is pin-compatible with MAX8865SEUA and MAX8865TEUA - only the preset output voltage differs; all other specifications and pin functions remain unchanged.
