Product details
Overview
MAX8866TEUA-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-dropout linear regulator IC delivering two independent 3.15V fixed outputs (T-version) or adjustable 1.25V–5.5V outputs, each capable of sourcing up to 100mA. It operates from +2.5V to +5.5V input, features 55mV dropout at 50mA, 145µA operating supply current, and integrated auto-discharge on shutdown-designed for battery-powered portable systems including cellular phones and modems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8866TEUA-T datasheet, MAX8866TEUA-T pinout, MAX8866TEUA-T application, or MAX8866TEUA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual independent shutdown control, reverse battery protection, thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis, 350µVRMS output noise, and µMAX-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX8866TEUA-T integrates two independent P-channel MOSFET pass transistors (1.1Ω typical RDS(ON)) with shared 1.25V bandgap reference and thermal sensor. Each regulator employs error amplification, MOSFET driver, and Dual Mode™ comparator to select between internal fixed-voltage feedback (3.15V for T-variant) or external resistor-divider-adjustable output.
Unlike the MAX8865, the MAX8866TEUA-T adds active auto-discharge circuitry that pulls either OUT1 or OUT2 to ground during individual SHDN assertion-critical for fast power-state transitions in portable devices. Shutdown logic disables bias circuits, reducing total supply current to 0.16nA when both regulators are off.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.15V (fixed, T-version); selectable 1.25V–5.5V via external SET resistors |
| Max Output Current | 100mA per channel; current limit 120–320mA (design range) |
| Dropout Voltage | 55mV @ 50mA load-enables operation down to VIN = VOUT + 55mV |
| Supply Current | 145µA operating (even in dropout); 0.16nA in full shutdown |
| Output Noise | 350µVRMS (10Hz–1MHz)-suitable for 12-bit+ ADC power domains |
| Input Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V-compatible with single Li-ion, NiMH, or regulated 3.3V/5V rails |
| Thermal Protection | Shuts down at +170°C junction; restarts after ~20°C cooldown hysteresis |
Pinout & Package
MAX8866TEUA-T is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3.05mm × 3.05mm × 0.91mm), optimized for thermal dissipation via exposed GND pad soldered to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 (Pin 1) | Regulator 1 output | Sources up to 100mA; bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| IN (Pin 2) | Input supply rail | +2.5V to +5.5V input; bypass with 2µF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power and signal ground | Shared reference for both regulators; must connect to large copper area for thermal management |
| OUT2 (Pin 4) | Regulator 2 output | Independent 100mA output; identical specs and bypassing as OUT1 |
| SET2 (Pin 5) | Feedback input for OUT2 | Ground for 3.15V fixed mode; connect to external divider for adjustable output |
| SET1 (Pin 6) | Feedback input for OUT1 | Same function as SET2; enables independent configuration of each output |
| SHDN1 (Pin 7) | Active-low enable for OUT1 | Pull low to disable OUT1; triggers auto-discharge to GND on MAX8866 only |
| SHDN2 (Pin 8) | Active-low enable for OUT2 | Independent control of OUT2; same auto-discharge behavior as SHDN1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Mode™ operation | Single-pin (SETx) selection between factory-trimmed 3.15V output or 1.25V–5.5V adjustable output-no external components needed for fixed mode |
| Auto-discharge (MAX8866 only) | Actively pulls OUT1 or OUT2 to GND within 1ms of SHDNx assertion-eliminates hold-up voltage during partial power-down sequences |
| Reverse battery protection | Limits reverse current to <1mA if VIN or SHDNx falls below GND-prevents battery drain and IC damage in miswired portable systems |
| Low-noise regulation | 350µVRMS output noise (10Hz–1MHz) with no additional filtering-reduces need for post-regulator LC stages in sensitive analog circuits |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 145µA total supply current at 200mA combined load-even in dropout-extending battery life in always-on subsystems |
Applications
| Cellular Telephones | Cordless Telephones |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A2020PDQNR | Single-output, 200mA, 1.2V–5.5V adjustable; no auto-discharge or dual independent shutdown | Requires two devices for dual-rail support; lacks reverse battery protection | Select when higher current per rail (>100mA) or lower dropout (<45mV) is required, and auto-discharge is unnecessary |
| ADP7156ACPZ-3.15-R7 | Single-output, 600mA, ultra-low noise (4.7µVRMS); no dual output or SET-pin flexibility | Higher cost; requires external sequencing for multi-rail systems | Choose for noise-critical analog subsystems where 350µVRMS is insufficient and dual outputs are implemented separately |
Compared with TPS7A2020PDQNR and ADP7156ACPZ-3.15-R7, the MAX8866TEUA-T uniquely delivers dual independent 100mA outputs with auto-discharge, reverse battery protection, and Dual Mode™ configurability in a single µMAX-8 package-reducing component count and PCB area for portable dual-rail applications.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX8866TEUA-T deliver in fixed mode?
The MAX8866TEUA-T delivers 3.15V on both OUT1 and OUT2 when SET1 and SET2 are connected to GND-the "T" suffix denotes this factory-trimmed output voltage. This fixed mode requires no external resistors and maintains ±1% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C. The MAX8866TEUA-T achieves this via laser-trimmed internal feedback dividers referenced to a 1.25V bandgap.
Does the MAX8866TEUA-T support adjustable output voltages?
Yes, the MAX8866TEUA-T supports adjustable outputs from 1.25V to 5.5V using external resistor dividers on SET1 and SET2. When SETx is connected to a voltage divider instead of GND, the device enters adjustable mode and regulates VOUTx = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2). The MAX8866TEUA-T's Dual Mode™ comparator detects SETx voltage to automatically select the feedback path.
How does the auto-discharge function work on the MAX8866TEUA-T?
The MAX8866TEUA-T actively discharges OUT1 or OUT2 to GND within 1ms when SHDN1 or SHDN2 is pulled low-this feature is exclusive to the MAX8866 family and not present in MAX8865. The discharge path uses an internal NMOS switch with <10Ω on-resistance, ensuring rapid voltage collapse without external components. This behavior is confirmed in the MAX8866TEUA-T's Typical Operating Characteristics graphs.
What protection features are integrated into the MAX8866TEUA-T?
The MAX8866TEUA-T integrates thermal shutdown (trip at +170°C, 20°C hysteresis), short-circuit protection (indefinite output shorting), reverse battery protection (<1mA reverse current), and current limiting (120–320mA design range). These protections operate independently per channel and do not require external components-verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables of the MAX8866TEUA-T datasheet.
What is the recommended input and output capacitance for the MAX8866TEUA-T?
The MAX8866TEUA-T requires a minimum 2µF ceramic capacitor on IN and 1µF ceramic capacitors on each OUT for stable operation across -40°C to +85°C. Larger values (e.g., 10µF IN, 10µF OUT) improve transient response and PSRR above 100kHz. The MAX8866TEUA-T's stability is validated with X7R or X5R dielectrics; ESR should be <100mΩ for COUT to remain within the stable region shown in Figure 11 of the datasheet.
