Product details
Overview
MAX8887EZK27+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-noise, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 2.7V output, 100mV dropout at 200mA, 42µVRMS output noise, 55µA no-load supply current, and thermal/short-circuit protection - designed for powering noise-sensitive analog circuitry in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8887EZK27+T datasheet, MAX8887EZK27+T pinout, MAX8887EZK27+T application, or MAX8887EZK27+T equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage accuracy (±2% over load/temperature), ultra-low quiescent current, BP-bypassed noise performance, SOT23-5 package constraints, and compatibility with 2.2µF ceramic input/output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MAX8887EZK27+T uses an internal p-channel MOSFET pass transistor with ~0.5Ω RDS(ON), enabling dropout voltage as low as 100mV at 200mA while maintaining 55µA ground current independent of load. Its reference bypass (BP) pin supports external 0.01µF capacitor filtering to achieve 42µVRMS integrated noise (10Hz–100kHz).
It features micropower shutdown (0.1µA), foldback current limiting (420mA typical at VOUT ≥93% nominal), and thermal shutdown at +170°C with 20°C hysteresis. Unlike PNP-based LDOs, it avoids base-drive current penalties in dropout, preserving efficiency across full load and input range (2.5V–5.5V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.7V ±2% over load (100µA–300mA) and temperature (−40°C to +85°C) |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 200mA load - enables regulation down to VIN = 2.8V, extending usable battery life |
| Output Noise | 42µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz, CBP = 0.01µF, COUT = 2.2µF) - suitable for RF, ADC, and precision analog rails |
| No-Load Supply Current | 55µA - remains constant regardless of load, optimizing standby power in portable devices |
| PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - reduces system leakage during deep sleep modes |
| Thermal Protection | Shuts down at +170°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage under overload |
Pinout & Package
MAX8887EZK27+T is housed in a thin 5-pin SOT23 package (1mm height, Z5-1 footprint), RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires 2.2µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and transient response |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input, output, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Pull low to enter 0.1µA shutdown; pull high (≥1.6V) to operate; tolerates up to 6V regardless of VIN/VOUT |
| 4 - BP | Reference bypass node | Connects to internal bandgap reference; 0.01µF ceramic capacitor reduces output noise to 42µVRMS |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 300mA; requires 2.2µF ceramic capacitor (ESR < 0.1Ω) to GND for stability and PSRR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 42µVRMS output noise enabled by BP pin and 0.01µF capacitor - critical for RF transceivers and high-resolution ADCs |
| P-channel pass transistor | 0.5Ω RDS(ON) eliminates base-drive current, sustaining 55µA quiescent current even at full 300mA load and in dropout |
| Foldback current limiting | Reduces current limit from 420mA to 500mA pulsed when VOUT drops below 93% - protects against sustained short circuits |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | +170°C trip with +20°C cooldown gap - enables self-recovery during intermittent overload without latch-up |
| Ultra-thin SOT23 package | 1mm profile supports space-constrained PCB layouts in handheld and wearable electronics |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P272MR-G | 2.7V fixed output, 150mA max, 120mV dropout at 100mA, 60µA IQ, no BP pin | Lacks BP-based noise filtering; higher dropout limits usable battery range | Choose only if 150mA load and relaxed noise requirements suffice; not suitable for RF/analog-sensitive designs |
| Analog Devices ADP125ARZ-2.7-R7 | 2.7V fixed output, 500mA max, 135mV dropout at 300mA, 30µA IQ, no BP pin, 45µVRMS noise | Higher current capability but no dedicated noise-reduction bypass; slightly higher noise than MAX8887EZK27+T | Prefer when higher load current is required and BP-level noise suppression is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MAX8887EZK27+T over temperature and load?
The MAX8887EZK27+T guarantees ±2% output voltage accuracy across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and load current range (100µA to 300mA). This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage Accuracy" with conditions explicitly stated for IOUT = 100µA to 300mA and TA = 0°C to +85°C. The MAX8887EZK27+T maintains this tolerance without requiring external feedback components, as its 2.7V output is factory-trimmed and internally set.
Does the MAX8887EZK27+T include a power-OK (POK) output?
No, the MAX8887EZK27+T does not include a power-OK output. The POK function is exclusive to the MAX8888 variant (e.g., MAX8888EZK27+T). The MAX8887EZK27+T pinout omits the POK terminal and instead features the BP (bypass) pin for noise reduction. Pin 4 on the MAX8887EZK27+T is BP, whereas pin 4 on the MAX8888 is POK - confirming functional differentiation between the two families.
What capacitor values are required for stable operation of the MAX8887EZK27+T?
The MAX8887EZK27+T requires a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND, and another 2.2µF ceramic capacitor between OUT and GND, both with ESR < 0.1Ω. Additionally, a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between BP and GND to achieve the specified 42µVRMS output noise. These values are validated in the Applications Information section and Typical Operating Circuit diagram, and deviating from them risks instability or degraded noise/PSRR performance.
Can the MAX8887EZK27+T operate with input voltages below 2.5V?
No, the MAX8887EZK27+T has a minimum input voltage of 2.5V as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Input undervoltage lockout activates below 2.15V (rising threshold), and operation below 2.5V violates the guaranteed parametric performance. At 2.7V output, the device requires at least 2.8V input to maintain regulation given its 100mV dropout at 200mA - so 2.5V input would place it well outside functional range.
Is the MAX8887EZK27+T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MAX8887EZK27+T is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "+T" suffix in the part number per Maxim's Ordering Information table. The "+" denotes a lead(Pb)-free RoHS-compliant package, and the device uses the Z5-1 (5-pin SOT23) package code documented in the Package Information section. This compliance is verified in the official Maxim datasheet revision 4 (July 2009).
