Product details
Overview
MAX8867EUK33-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator with a preset 3.3V output, 150mA output current capability, 30µVRMS output noise, and 165mV dropout at full load. It features an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor, 100µA operating supply current (independent of load or dropout), and reverse battery protection. It is used in battery-powered handheld instruments and PCMCIA cards requiring stable, quiet voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8867EUK33-T datasheet, MAX8867EUK33-T pinout, MAX8867EUK33-T application, or MAX8867EUK33-T equivalent, key selection criteria include output noise performance, shutdown quiescent current (10nA), BP-capacitor–dependent noise filtering, and SOT23-5 thermal design considerations.
Technical Context
The MAX8867EUK33-T implements a fixed-output LDO architecture using a 1.25V bandgap reference, error amplifier, and internal feedback divider to maintain regulated 3.3V output. Its P-channel MOSFET pass element enables ultra-low quiescent current (100µA) across all operating conditions including dropout, eliminating base-drive losses inherent in PNP-based regulators.
It integrates reverse-battery protection that limits reverse current to 1mA when VIN or SHDN falls below ground, plus thermal shutdown at +155°C with 15°C hysteresis. The BP pin connects to an internal 200kΩ resistor forming an 80Hz low-pass filter with an external 0.01µF capacitor to reduce output noise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.4% - factory-trimmed for precision without external resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - supports moderate-power analog/digital loads in portable systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 165mV at 150mA - enables operation down to ~3.465V input for 3.3V rail in fading battery scenarios. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - low enough for RF front-ends and precision ADC references. |
| Quiescent Current | 100µA (operating), 10nA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on or sleep-mode applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6.5V - compatible with single Li-ion, dual alkaline, or regulated intermediate rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at +155°C with +15°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 regular package (5-pin, 1.6mm × 2.9mm × 1.1mm body height), GND pin serves as primary thermal path - requires soldering to large copper area or ground plane for power dissipation up to 571mW at +70°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Pulls device into 10nA shutdown; on MAX8868 only, initiates active output discharge - not used for MAX8867EUK33-T auto-discharge. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground and thermal sink | Electrical return path and primary heat conduction route - must connect to ≥100mm² copper for thermal reliability. |
| 3 - IN | Regulator input supply | Accepts 2.5V–6.5V; requires ≥1µF bypass capacitor close to pin for stability and line-transient suppression. |
| 4 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 150mA at 3.3V; requires ≥1µF low-ESR capacitor (X7R/X5R ceramic preferred) for load-transient response. |
| 5 - BP | Noise-reduction bypass node | Connects to internal 200kΩ resistor; 0.01µF ceramic capacitor reduces output noise to 30µVRMS - larger values increase startup time. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 30µVRMS output noise with 0.01µF BP cap - enables clean power for sensitive analog circuits without additional filtering. |
| P-channel MOSFET pass element | 1.1Ω typical RDS(ON) - eliminates base-drive current loss, sustaining 100µA IQ across all load and dropout conditions. |
| Reverse battery protection | Limits reverse current to ≤1mA when VIN or SHDN < 0V - prevents damage during incorrect battery insertion in consumer devices. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Auto-shutdown at +155°C junction temp and indefinite short-to-ground tolerance - ensures robustness in unattended operation. |
| Preset 3.3V output accuracy | ±1.4% over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates external resistor network, reducing BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX8867EUK33-T over temperature and load?
The MAX8867EUK33-T provides a factory-preset 3.3V output with ±1.4% accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and 0mA to 150mA load current. This specification is production-tested and guaranteed via statistical correlation, ensuring consistent regulation without external trimming components in the final design.
Does the MAX8867EUK33-T include auto-discharge functionality during shutdown?
No, the MAX8867EUK33-T does not include auto-discharge. That feature is exclusive to the MAX8868 variant. When the MAX8867EUK33-T is placed in shutdown (SHDN = low), the output remains floating at its last regulated voltage; external circuitry is required to actively discharge the output if needed.
What capacitor values are recommended for stable operation of the MAX8867EUK33-T?
For stable operation, use a minimum 1µF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor on the IN pin and a 1µF to 10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor on the OUT pin. A 0.01µF ceramic capacitor is mandatory on the BP pin to achieve the specified 30µVRMS output noise. Avoid Z5U/Y5V dielectrics below -10°C unless capacitance is increased to ≥2.2µF.
How does the MAX8867EUK33-T handle reverse battery connection?
The MAX8867EUK33-T incorporates integrated reverse battery protection that limits reverse current to ≤1mA when either the IN or SHDN pin falls below ground potential. This is achieved by disconnecting internal circuitry and parasitic paths, preventing damage during incorrect battery installation in consumer handheld devices.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation of the MAX8867EUK33-T in its SOT23-5 package?
In the SOT23-5 regular package, the MAX8867EUK33-T has a junction-to-board thermal resistance (θJB) of 140°C/W. At +70°C ambient, its continuous power dissipation is rated at 571mW, derating by 7.1mW/°C above that temperature. Effective thermal performance requires soldering the GND pin to a ≥100mm² copper area to meet this rating.
