Product details
Overview
MAX8867EUK30-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator with 3.0V preset output, 150mA output current capability, 165mV dropout at full load, 30µVRMS output noise, and 100µA operating supply current - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, clean power under light-to-moderate load.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8867EUK30-T datasheet, MAX8867EUK30-T pinout, MAX8867EUK30-T application, or MAX8867EUK30-T equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 150mA, shutdown current (10nA), reverse battery protection, BP-capacitor–dependent noise reduction, and SOT23-5 thermal design constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX8867EUK30-T uses an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor (1.1Ω typical RDS(ON)) to achieve low dropout and eliminate base-drive current loss. Its error amplifier compares a 1.25V bandgap reference against feedback from an internal resistor divider tied to the OUT pin, enabling fixed 3.0V regulation without external resistors.
It integrates thermal shutdown (155°C trip, 20°C hysteresis), short-circuit protection, and reverse battery protection that limits reverse current to 1mA when VIN or SHDN falls below ground. Unlike the MAX8868 variant, it lacks auto-discharge functionality on shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±1.4% over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external feedback resistors and ensures precision in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous - sufficient for RF front-ends, microcontroller cores, or sensor signal chains in handheld instruments. |
| Dropout Voltage | 165mV at 150mA - enables operation down to 3.165V input, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz, CBP = 0.01µF, COUT = 10µF) - supports noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADC references or VCO supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 100µA across load and dropout conditions - maintains efficiency during standby or light-load states in always-on subsystems. |
| Shutdown Current | 10nA logic-controlled - reduces system-level leakage to negligible levels during deep sleep modes. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), LiFePO₄ (2.0–3.6V), or 3.3V/5V rail inputs. |
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 - requires soldering to ≥25 mm² copper pour for rated power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Logic-low disables regulator and reduces IQ to 10nA; must be pulled high (to IN or VCC) for normal operation; no auto-discharge function. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground and thermal sink | Reference node for all internal circuitry; also conducts heat - PCB layout must maximize copper area and thermal vias beneath this pin. |
| 3 - IN | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.5V–6.5V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin to suppress supply noise and ensure stability. |
| 4 - OUT | Regulated 3.0V output | Sources up to 150mA; requires 1–10µF output capacitor (X7R/X5R dielectric recommended) with ESR <0.2Ω for stability across temperature. |
| 5 - BP | Noise-reduction bypass terminal | Connects to 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to reduce output voltage noise; forms 80Hz RC filter with internal 200kΩ resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 30µVRMS output noise with 0.01µF BP cap - meets stringent requirements for RF bias, precision ADC, or PLL power rails. |
| P-channel pass architecture | 100µA quiescent current independent of load or dropout - avoids efficiency collapse common in PNP-based LDOs under heavy or dropout conditions. |
| Reverse battery protection | Limits reverse current to ≤1mA when VIN or SHDN < 0V - prevents damage and data corruption in consumer devices with user-replaceable batteries. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | 155°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis and indefinite short-circuit tolerance - enables robust operation in unventilated enclosures or fault-prone interfaces. |
| Preset 3.0V output accuracy | ±1.4% over full temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) - eliminates calibration overhead and supports direct replacement of legacy 3.0V regulators. |
Applications
| Cellular Handsets | PCMCIA Cards |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76330DBVR | 300mV dropout at 150mA; 50µVRMS noise; 85µA IQ; no BP pin or reverse battery protection | Lacks reverse battery protection and BP-based noise filtering - requires additional external protection and filtering for same noise performance | Choose if board space allows larger output capacitance and external reverse-polarity diode, and lower cost is prioritized over integrated protection. |
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | 600mV dropout at 250mA; 30µVRMS noise; 1.6µA IQ; SOT23-3, no SHDN or BP pins | Three-pin package omits enable and noise-bypass control - limits flexibility in power sequencing and ultra-low-noise designs | Choose only for simple always-on 3.0V rails where dropout margin >600mV is acceptable and no shutdown or BP tuning is needed. |
Compared with TPS76330DBVR and MCP1700T-3002E/MB, the MAX8867EUK30-T delivers superior dropout performance (165mV vs. ≥300mV), integrated reverse battery protection, and BP-tunable noise reduction - making it uniquely suited for compact, battery-critical, noise-sensitive portable systems where reliability and headroom are constrained.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX8867EUK30-T over temperature?
The MAX8867EUK30-T provides a factory-preset 3.0V output with ±1.4% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This specification is production-tested and guaranteed using Statistical Quality Control methods - ensuring consistent performance in portable devices exposed to wide ambient variations without requiring external trimming or calibration.
Does the MAX8867EUK30-T include auto-discharge functionality on shutdown?
No, the MAX8867EUK30-T does not include auto-discharge functionality. That feature is exclusive to the MAX8868 variant (e.g., MAX8868EUK30-T). When the MAX8867EUK30-T is placed in shutdown via the SHDN pin, the output remains floating at its last regulated voltage; external discharge circuitry is required if rapid output decay is needed.
What capacitor values are recommended for stable operation of the MAX8867EUK30-T?
For stable operation, use a 1µF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor on IN, 1–10µF on OUT (with ESR <0.2Ω), and exactly 0.01µF on BP. Larger output capacitance improves PSRR and transient response but increases startup time; avoid Y5V/Z5U dielectrics below -10°C unless capacitance is increased to ≥2.2µF.
Can the MAX8867EUK30-T operate from a 2.7V lithium-ion cell throughout its discharge curve?
Yes - with a 3.0V output and 165mV dropout at 150mA, the MAX8867EUK30-T remains functional down to 3.165V input. Since a single Li-ion cell discharges from ~4.2V to ~2.7V, the device supports full operation only above 3.165V. For full-range compatibility, pair with a higher-input LDO or use in systems where 3.0V rail is active only during top 70% of battery capacity.
How does the BP pin affect noise performance and startup behavior in the MAX8867EUK30-T?
The BP pin connects to an internal 200kΩ resistor forming an 80Hz low-pass filter with the external 0.01µF capacitor - reducing output voltage noise to 30µVRMS. Increasing BP capacitance lowers noise slightly but lengthens startup time; values >0.1µF provide no measurable benefit and degrade shutdown exit delay, so 0.01µF is the optimal, validated value for the MAX8867EUK30-T.
