Product details
Overview
MAX8867EZK29+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 - designed for space-constrained battery-powered systems such as handheld instruments and PCMCIA cards.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8867EZK29+T datasheet, MAX8867EZK29+T pinout, MAX8867EZK29+T application, or MAX8867EZK29+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current (100µA), reverse battery protection, thermal shutdown behavior, and BP-capacitor–dependent noise performance in thin SOT23-5 packaging.
Technical Context
The MAX8867EZK29+T uses an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor (1.1Ω typical RDS(ON)) to achieve low dropout and eliminate base-drive current losses. Its error amplifier compares a 1.25V bandgap reference against feedback from an internal resistor divider tied to the OUT pin.
Noise reduction relies on a dedicated BP pin with external 0.01µF ceramic capacitor forming an 80Hz low-pass filter; shutdown control is active-low with 10nA supply current and includes auto-discharge only on MAX8868 variants - not applicable to MAX8867EZK29+T.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.84V ±1.4% - factory-preset, eliminates external feedback resistors and ensures stable regulation across -40°C to +85°C. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - supports moderate-power analog/digital rails without external current boosting. |
| Dropout Voltage | 165mV at 150mA - enables operation down to VIN = 3.005V, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - achieved with 0.01µF BP capacitor; critical for RF, ADC, and precision analog subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current | 100µA - constant across load and dropout conditions, enabling multi-day standby in portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 10nA - logic-controlled disable reduces system leakage during sleep modes. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), NiMH (0.9–1.4V × 3), and regulated 3.3V/5V supplies. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8867EZK29+T is housed in a thin 5-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with GND serving dual electrical and thermal functions - requires soldering to a large PCB copper area for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-low enable input | Pull low to enter 10nA shutdown; connect to IN for always-on operation; no auto-discharge (MAX8868 feature only). |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference and thermal path | Must be connected to large PCB ground plane to dissipate heat and maintain stability under 150mA load. |
| 3 - IN | Regulator input | Accepts 2.5V–6.5V; requires ≥1µF bypass capacitor to suppress supply noise and ensure transient response. |
| 4 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.84V up to 150mA; requires ≥1µF low-ESR output capacitor for stability across temperature and load. |
| 5 - BP | Noise-reduction bypass node | Connects to 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to reduce output noise; start-up time increases with larger values. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse Battery Protection | Limits reverse current to ≤1mA when VIN or SHDN falls below GND - prevents damage during incorrect battery insertion. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +170°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload without requiring external circuitry. |
| Current Limit | Guaranteed ≥160mA minimum limit (390mA typical) - allows safe short-circuit operation indefinitely without latch-off. |
| Load Regulation | 0.01%/mA - maintains tight output voltage over 0–150mA load range, reducing need for post-regulation filtering. |
| Line Regulation | ±0.15%/V - minimizes output drift across full 2.5V–6.5V input range, improving reliability in variable-supply environments. |
Applications
| Hand-Held Instruments | PCMCIA Cards |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, low-dropout LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8867EUK29+T | Same electrical specs but in regular (not thin) SOT23-5 package - 0.95mm height vs. 0.85mm for EZK variant. | Suitable where board clearance allows standard SOT23; slightly higher thermal resistance (140°C/W vs. 110°C/W). | Select when mechanical stack-up permits taller profile and thermal margin is sufficient. |
| MCP1702T-2802E/MB | 2.8V output (vs. 2.84V), 250mA rating, 17µVRMS noise, but no BP pin or reverse battery protection. | Lacks reverse polarity hardening and fine-grained noise tuning - requires external protection diodes in battery-reversal-prone designs. | Choose only if lower noise and higher current outweigh missing protections and fixed 2.8V output. |
Compared with MAX8867EZK29+T, the MAX8867EUK29+T offers identical regulation performance in a mechanically taller package with reduced thermal efficiency, while the MCP1702T-2802E/MB trades away reverse-battery immunity and BP-based noise optimization for higher output current and marginally lower noise - making it unsuitable for unattended battery-reversal environments.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX8867EZK29+T?
The MAX8867EZK29+T has a factory-preset output voltage of 2.84V with ±1.4% initial accuracy over temperature and load. This specification is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range and includes variation due to line, load, and thermal effects - no external trimming is possible or required.
Does the MAX8867EZK29+T include auto-discharge functionality during shutdown?
No, the MAX8867EZK29+T does not provide auto-discharge. That feature is exclusive to the MAX8868 family (e.g., MAX8868EZK29+T). When the MAX8867EZK29+T is placed in shutdown via the SHDN pin, the output remains floating at its last regulated voltage until discharged externally or through load leakage.
What capacitor values are required for stable operation of the MAX8867EZK29+T?
The MAX8867EZK29+T requires a minimum 1µF ceramic input capacitor (X7R/X5R dielectric) and a 1µF–10µF output capacitor with ESR <0.2Ω. A 0.01µF ceramic capacitor must be placed directly on the BP pin. Using Z5U/Y5V dielectrics may require ≥2.2µF output capacitance for stability below -10°C.
Can the MAX8867EZK29+T operate from a 2.5V input while delivering 150mA at 2.84V?
No - the MAX8867EZK29+T cannot regulate at 2.84V from a 2.5V input. Its minimum input voltage is defined by dropout: VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. At 150mA, VDROP = 165mV, so minimum VIN = 2.84V + 0.165V = 3.005V. Operation below this violates regulation and causes output collapse.
Is reverse battery protection active on both IN and SHDN pins of the MAX8867EZK29+T?
Yes - reverse battery protection operates independently on both IN and SHDN pins. If either pin falls more than 0.3V below GND, internal circuitry disconnects parasitic paths and limits reverse current to ≤1mA, safeguarding the device during incorrect battery installation or accidental polarity reversal.
