Product details
Overview
MAX8865REUA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-dropout linear regulator IC delivering two independent 100mA outputs with fixed 2.80V output voltage per channel, operating from +2.5V to +5.5V input, featuring 55mV dropout at 50mA, 105µA no-load supply current, and reverse battery protection. It serves as a compact power management solution in space-constrained portable electronics requiring stable dual-rail biasing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8865REUA+ datasheet, MAX8865REUA+ pinout, MAX8865REUA+ application, or MAX8865REUA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its µMAX-8 package footprint, Dual Mode™ fixed/adjustable output flexibility, thermal shutdown at +170°C, 350µVRMS output noise, and independent active-low shutdown control for each regulator channel.
Technical Context
The MAX8865REUA+ integrates two independent P-channel MOSFET-based LDO regulators sharing a 1.25V bandgap reference and thermal sensor, with each channel employing error amplification, MOSFET driver, and Dual Mode™ comparator to select between internal fixed-voltage feedback (2.80V) or external resistor-divider adjustment (1.25V–5.5V). Its 1.1Ω typical RDS(ON) pass transistor enables low dropout and eliminates base-drive current loss.
Shutdown logic disables individual regulators via SHDN1/SHDN2 pins, reducing total supply current to 0.16nA when both are off; reverse battery protection limits reverse current to <1mA when VIN or SHDN falls below ground. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and includes current limiting (~220mA typ), thermal overload protection with 20°C hysteresis, and cross-regulation <1mV for 0–50mA load steps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.80V per channel (±3% over –40°C to +85°C); enables direct replacement of 2.8V rails without external resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 100mA per channel; supports dual low-power subsystems such as RF + baseband in cellular handsets. |
| Dropout Voltage | 55mV at 50mA load; allows operation down to VIN = 2.855V while maintaining regulation - critical for end-of-life alkaline or Li-ion battery use. |
| No-Load Supply Current | 105µA; minimizes quiescent drain in standby mode, extending battery life in always-on portable devices. |
| Output Noise | 350µVRMS (10Hz–1MHz); sufficiently low for powering 12-bit ADCs and RF front-ends without additional filtering. |
| Input Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), NiMH (2.4–3.6V), and regulated 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at +170°C junction temperature with +20°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
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 with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 is OUT1; pin 2 is IN; pin 3 is GND; pin 4 is OUT2; pin 5 is SET2; pin 6 is SHDN1; pin 7 is SHDN2; pin 8 is SET1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 (Pin 1) | Regulator 1 output terminal | Sources up to 100mA at fixed 2.80V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and transient response. |
| IN (Pin 2) | Main input supply connection | Accepts +2.5V to +5.5V; must be bypassed with ≥2µF ceramic capacitor to suppress input ripple and enable fast load transients. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Common reference and thermal path | Must connect to large copper pour or ground plane to maintain θJA = 244°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown under full load. |
| OUT2 (Pin 4) | Regulator 2 output terminal | Independent 100mA 2.80V output; electrically isolated from OUT1 - enables dual-rail biasing with <1mV cross-regulation. |
| SET2 (Pin 5) | Feedback selection for OUT2 | Grounded to enable fixed 2.80V mode; tied to external divider for adjustable output; threshold <60mV selects internal feedback. |
| SHDN1 (Pin 6) | Active-low enable for Regulator 1 | Logic low disables OUT1 and reduces its supply current to <100nA; connects to IN for always-on operation. |
| SHDN2 (Pin 7) | Active-low enable for Regulator 2 | Independent control of OUT2; does not discharge output (unlike MAX8866 variant); essential for sequenced power-down. |
| SET1 (Pin 8) | Feedback selection for OUT1 | Functionally identical to SET2; grounding both SET1 and SET2 configures both outputs to 2.80V simultaneously. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ operation | Single-pin (SETx) selection between factory-trimmed 2.80V output or 1.25V–5.5V adjustable range - eliminates BOM variants and simplifies design reuse. |
| P-channel MOSFET pass element | 1.1Ω typical RDS(ON) enables ultra-low dropout and zero base-drive current - delivers 145µA operating supply current even in dropout. |
| Reverse battery protection | Internal circuitry limits reverse current to <1mA when VIN or SHDNx falls below GND - prevents battery drain and IC damage in misinserted battery scenarios. |
| Independent shutdown control | Separate SHDN1/SHDN2 pins allow asymmetric power sequencing - e.g., keep RF section active while disabling baseband during sleep. |
| Thermal overload protection | Auto-cycling shutdown at +170°C with +20°C hysteresis ensures safe operation under sustained overload without external thermal monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8866REUA+ | Includes auto-discharge function on shutdown; otherwise identical pinout, specs, and 2.80V output. | Required where rapid output voltage decay (<1ms) is needed after shutdown - e.g., to meet USB suspend timing or prevent latch-up in downstream logic. | Select MAX8866REUA+ only if active discharge is mandatory; MAX8865REUA+ offers lower cost and same performance for standard shutdown hold. |
| TSM102IDT | Single dual-opamp + dual-reference IC (not an LDO); lacks regulation, current capability, and thermal protection. | Not a functional replacement - used for voltage monitoring or DAC buffering, not power delivery. | Not suitable as direct alternative; consider only for non-regulated bias generation where 100mA output and LDO features are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX8866REUA+, MAX8865REUA+ omits auto-discharge but retains identical regulation accuracy, noise, and thermal behavior - making it optimal for cost-sensitive portable designs where controlled shutdown decay is not required. TSM102IDT provides no LDO functionality and cannot replace MAX8865REUA+ in power-supply roles.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX8865REUA+ over temperature and load?
The MAX8865REUA+ delivers a nominal 2.80V output with ±3% tolerance over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and 0–50mA load current. This specification is guaranteed by production testing and includes effects of line regulation (±0.11%/V), load regulation (±0.006%/mA), and thermal drift - ensuring stable biasing for precision analog circuits without external trimming.
Does the MAX8865REUA+ support adjustable output voltages, or is it fixed-only?
The MAX8865REUA+ supports both fixed and adjustable output modes via its Dual Mode™ architecture. When SET1 and SET2 are grounded, it delivers fixed 2.80V outputs. When connected to external resistor dividers, it adjusts outputs from 1.25V to 5.5V using the formula VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2). The MAX8865REUA+ datasheet confirms this behavior applies identically to both channels.
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for the MAX8865REUA+?
The MAX8865REUA+ is rated for up to 100mA continuous output current per channel under conditions of VIN ≥ VOUT + dropout (≥2.855V) and ambient temperature ≤+70°C with adequate PCB copper area. At higher temperatures or lower input margins, current capability decreases due to thermal derating - the device enters thermal shutdown above +170°C junction temperature.
How does reverse battery protection work in the MAX8865REUA+?
The MAX8865REUA+ incorporates internal circuitry that monitors VIN and SHDN pin polarity relative to GND. If either pin falls below ground, the device disconnects internal paths and blocks parasitic conduction, limiting reverse current to <1mA. This prevents battery discharge, overheating, and potential damage - a critical feature for handheld devices with user-replaceable batteries.
Can the MAX8865REUA+ be used in place of the MAX8865TEUA+ or MAX8865SEUA+?
Yes - the MAX8865REUA+ is pin-compatible and functionally identical to MAX8865TEUA+ and MAX8865SEUA+, differing only in preset output voltage (2.80V vs. 3.15V or 2.84V). All share the same µMAX-8 package, electrical specifications, and Dual Mode™ operation. System-level validation is required only for voltage margining, not for layout or firmware changes.
