Product details
Overview
MAX8887EZK33+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-noise, 3.3V fixed-output, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23-5 package, featuring 100mV dropout at 200mA, 42µVRMS output noise, and 55µA no-load supply current-designed for power-sensitive portable applications including cellular phones and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8887EZK33+T datasheet, MAX8887EZK33+T pinout, MAX8887EZK33+T application, or MAX8887EZK33+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 3.3V output accuracy (±3%), thermal/short-circuit protection, micropower shutdown (0.1µA), and compatibility with 2.2µF ceramic input/output capacitors in space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MAX8887EZK33+T uses an internal p-channel MOSFET pass transistor with 0.5Ω RDS(ON), enabling ultra-low quiescent current independent of load and eliminating base-drive losses typical of PNP-based regulators. Its BP pin supports external 0.01µF bypass capacitor to suppress reference noise.
It operates across 2.5V–5.5V input range with undervoltage lockout (2.15V–2.4V) and delivers stable 3.3V output with ±2% accuracy over 0°C to +85°C and ±3% over full -40°C to +85°C range. Output voltage is factory-preset-no external resistors required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external feedback network and ensures compatibility with 3.3V logic rails. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 300mA - sufficient to power core logic, RF transceivers, or small microcontrollers in handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 200mA load - enables operation down to ~3.4V input when VOUT = 3.3V, extending usable battery life in Li-ion and Li-poly systems. |
| Output Noise | 42µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz, with 0.01µF BP cap) - critical for noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADCs, RF front-ends, and audio codecs. |
| No-Load Supply Current | 55µA - remains constant regardless of load, optimizing standby power in always-on subsystems. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - reduces system-level leakage during deep sleep modes without requiring additional power gating. |
| PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switchers or shared DC-DC supplies feeding mixed-signal SoCs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8887EZK33+T is housed in a thin 5-pin SOT23 package (1mm height), RoHS-compliant and optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts.
| 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 | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator and bypass capacitors; must be connected directly to system ground plane. |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Pulled low to enter 0.1µA shutdown; internally pulled up to IN; tolerates up to 6V regardless of VIN/VOUT. |
| 4 - BP | Reference bypass terminal | Connects 0.01µF low-leakage ceramic capacitor to reduce internal reference noise-enables 42µVRMS output noise spec. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated 3.3V output | Sources up to 300mA; requires 2.2µF ceramic capacitor (ESR < 0.1Ω) to GND for stability and low-noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise architecture | 42µVRMS output noise with BP pin filtering-supports precision analog signal chains without external LDO post-regulation. |
| p-Channel MOSFET pass element | 0.5Ω RDS(ON) enables 55µA quiescent current independent of load-ideal for battery runtime optimization. |
| Foldback current limiting | Reduces short-circuit current to 500mA (pulsed) or 300mA (continuous) while maintaining safe junction temperature. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Triggers at 170°C and re-enables only after 20°C cooldown-prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | Activates below 2.15V input-blocks regulator startup until battery reaches minimum viable voltage, preventing brownout operation. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P332MR | 300mA, 3.3V, 150mV dropout at 200mA, 12µA IQ, no BP pin or noise-specification | Lacks BP pin and low-noise capability; suitable only where noise <100µVRMS is acceptable | Select when lowest quiescent current is prioritized over noise performance and board area is extremely constrained. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX8887EZK33+T over temperature?
The MAX8887EZK33+T guarantees ±3% output voltage accuracy over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. At +25°C, the tighter specification is ±1.2%, and over 0°C to +85°C it is ±2%. This tolerance ensures reliable interfacing with 3.3V logic families and ADC reference inputs without external trimming. The MAX8887EZK33+T achieves this via laser-trimmed internal feedback resistors and a stable 1.25V bandgap reference.
Does the MAX8887EZK33+T require an external capacitor on the BP pin?
Yes-the MAX8887EZK33+T requires a 0.01µF low-leakage ceramic capacitor between the BP pin and GND to achieve its specified 42µVRMS output noise. Without this capacitor, noise increases significantly (to ~360µVRMS, per MAX8888 data). The BP pin bypasses the internal reference, and omitting the capacitor degrades PSRR and increases output ripple sensitivity. The capacitor must be placed close to the BP pin with short traces to maintain effectiveness.
Can the MAX8887EZK33+T be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-the MAX8887EZK33+T is fully stable with ceramic output capacitors of 2.2µF or greater, provided their ESR is ≤0.1Ω. Ceramic capacitors are recommended for their low ESR, small footprint, and excellent high-frequency decoupling. The datasheet specifies 2.2µF as the minimum value for stability and transient response; using 4.7µF further improves PSRR and load-step recovery. Avoid tantalum or aluminum electrolytics due to higher ESR and potential instability.
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX8887EZK33+T can tolerate?
The MAX8887EZK33+T has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +7V referenced to GND. However, its functional operating range is strictly 2.5V to 5.5V. Operation above 5.5V risks permanent damage, even momentarily. Input undervoltage lockout activates below 2.15V (rising), preventing regulation until VIN exceeds 2.4V. For 5V USB-powered systems, the MAX8887EZK33+T operates safely with standard 5.0V ±5% input, delivering regulated 3.3V output.
How does the shutdown function behave on the MAX8887EZK33+T?
Driving the SHDN pin low places the MAX8887EZK33+T into micropower shutdown, reducing total supply current to ≤0.1µA. During shutdown, the OUT pin is actively discharged through an internal ~800Ω resistor, and the output voltage drops rapidly. The SHDN pin is compatible with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V logic levels, and can tolerate up to 6V regardless of VIN or VOUT. To resume regulation, drive SHDN high (≥1.6V); the device then requires ~100µs to stabilize output.
