Product details
Overview
MAX8867EUK29+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator with 2.84V preset output voltage, 150mA output current capability, 30µVRMS output noise, and 165mV dropout at full load. It uses an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor and operates from 2.5V to 6.5V input, targeting battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, ultra-low-noise power for RF or precision analog circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8867EUK29+T datasheet, MAX8867EUK29+T pinout, MAX8867EUK29+T application, or MAX8867EUK29+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.84V fixed output accuracy (±1.4%), 10nA shutdown current, reverse battery protection, thermal shutdown at +155°C, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with MAX8863/MAX8864 footprints.
Technical Context
The MAX8867EUK29+T implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a P-channel MOSFET pass element with 1.1Ω typical RDS(ON). Its BP pin connects to an internal 200kΩ resistor forming an 80Hz low-pass filter with an external 0.01µF capacitor to suppress reference noise.
It integrates reverse-battery protection that limits reverse current to 1mA when VIN or SHDN falls below GND, plus thermal shutdown with 15°C hysteresis and current limiting set to 160–500mA. Unlike the MAX8868 variant, it lacks auto-discharge functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.84V ±1.4% - factory-preset, no external resistors required |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - supports moderate-power RF ICs or microcontrollers |
| Dropout Voltage | 165mV at 150mA - enables operation down to ~2.68V input with 2.84V output |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive ADCs or VCOs |
| Quiescent Current | 100µA - constant across load and dropout, enabling long battery life |
| Shutdown Current | 10nA - enables deep-sleep modes in portable devices |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6.5V - compatible with single Li-ion, dual Alkaline, or regulated 3.3/5V rails |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 regular package (JEDEC MO-178AA), 5-pin surface-mount with exposed pad not electrically connected; GND pin serves as primary thermal path and must be soldered to large copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Logic low disables regulator and reduces supply current to 10nA; connect to IN for always-on operation |
| 2 - GND | Power ground and thermal sink | Electrical return path and primary heat dissipation route; requires PCB copper pour for thermal management |
| 3 - IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5V–6.5V; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin |
| 4 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 150mA at 2.84V; requires ≥1µF low-ESR output capacitor for stability |
| 5 - BP | Noise-reduction bypass | Connects to internal 200kΩ resistor; 0.01µF ceramic capacitor reduces output noise by filtering reference noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 30µVRMS output noise with 0.01µF BP cap - preserves SNR in RF front-ends and precision sensors |
| P-channel MOSFET pass device | 1.1Ω RDS(ON), zero base-drive current - eliminates quiescent current increase in dropout |
| Reverse battery protection | Limits reverse current to ≤1mA when VIN or SHDN < GND - prevents damage during battery insertion errors |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Triggers at +155°C, re-enables after cooling by 15°C - provides fault-safe operation without latch-up |
| Preset output voltage | 2.84V trimmed at wafer test - eliminates external feedback resistors and layout sensitivity |
Applications
| Cellular Handset RF Power Amplifier Supply | Portable Medical Sensor Front-End |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8867EUK30+T | 3.00V preset output (vs. 2.84V); identical noise, dropout, and package | Requires system-level voltage margin check for 3.00V vs. 2.84V load tolerance | Select only if target load accepts 3.00V nominal; no PCB change needed |
| MCP1702T-2802E/MB | 2.8V output (±2%), 150mA, 120mV dropout at 150mA, but 55µVRMS noise and no reverse-battery protection | Lacks reverse-battery protection and higher noise limit suitability for RF/analog | Use where cost sensitivity outweighs noise and protection requirements; verify thermal design due to higher dropout |
Compared with MAX8867EUK30+T, the MAX8867EUK29+T offers tighter 2.84V output matching for legacy 2.8V logic rails; compared with MCP1702T-2802E/MB, it delivers 45% lower output noise and integrated reverse-battery protection critical for consumer handheld reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX8867EUK29+T?
The MAX8867EUK29+T has a factory-trimmed output voltage of 2.84V with ±1.4% accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range and load conditions. This specification is 100% production tested at +25°C and guaranteed across temperature via statistical correlation methods per the datasheet.
Does the MAX8867EUK29+T include auto-discharge functionality?
No, the MAX8867EUK29+T does not include auto-discharge. That feature is exclusive to the MAX8868 family variants. When the MAX8867EUK29+T is placed in shutdown (SHDN = low), the output remains floating at its last regulated voltage; it does not actively discharge to ground.
What capacitor values are required for stable operation of the MAX8867EUK29+T?
The MAX8867EUK29+T requires a minimum 1µF ceramic input capacitor (X5R/X7R dielectric) and a 1µF–10µF output capacitor with ≤0.2Ω ESR. A 0.01µF ceramic capacitor must be placed on the BP pin. For full-temperature stability with 150mA loads, 1µF X7R is sufficient; Z5U/Y5V types require ≥2.2µF below -10°C.
How does reverse battery protection work in the MAX8867EUK29+T?
The MAX8867EUK29+T monitors VIN and SHDN pins relative to GND. If either falls below GND, internal circuitry disconnects parasitic paths and limits reverse current to ≤1mA - preventing damage during incorrect battery installation. This protection is active regardless of enable state and requires no external components.
Is the MAX8867EUK29+T pin-compatible with other SOT23-5 LDOs?
The MAX8867EUK29+T is pin-compatible with MAX8863/MAX8864 in SOT23-5, differing only in BP pin functionality. It is not pin-compatible with generic SOT23-5 LDOs due to unique BP pin assignment and internal feedback topology - direct replacement requires verification of BP usage and shutdown behavior in the target design.
