Product details
Overview
MAX8888EZK17+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator delivering up to 300mA continuous output current with 100mV dropout at 200mA, 1.7V fixed output voltage, and open-drain power-OK (POK) flag - designed for battery-powered portable electronics including wireless handsets and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8888EZK17+T datasheet, MAX8888EZK17+T pinout, MAX8888EZK17+T application, or MAX8888EZK17+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 300mA load capability, POK functionality for system power sequencing, thermal/short-circuit protection, and SOT23-5 package compatibility in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX8888EZK17+T integrates a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor with 0.5Ω RDS(ON), enabling low dropout and load-independent 55µA quiescent current. Its internal 1.25V reference and error amplifier regulate output precisely across temperature and line variations.
It features active-low open-drain POK that asserts when VOUT falls below 92.5% of nominal (1.7V), with 1% hysteresis and valid operation down to 1.0V input. Shutdown reduces supply current to 0.1µA while driving both OUT and POK low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.7V ±3% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core voltage for 1.8V-tolerant logic rails with margin. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 300mA - supports moderate-power RF modules or baseband processors without external heatsinking. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 200mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 1.8V, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA at no load - minimizes standby drain in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |
| POK Threshold Accuracy | 92.5% of VOUT (±2.5%) - provides reliable power-good signaling for µC reset assertion before brownout. |
| PSRR | 40dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - enables deep-sleep modes compliant with ultra-low-power IoT device requirements. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8888EZK17+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free 5-pin SOT23 package (1mm height), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V input; requires 2.2µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 2 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for input, output, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 SHDN | Active-Low Enable | Pulled low to enter 0.1µA shutdown; driven high (≥1.6V) for normal operation; tolerates up to 6V regardless of VIN/VOUT. |
| 4 POK | Open-Drain Power-OK Flag | Asserts low when VOUT < 92.5% of 1.7V; requires external pullup (e.g., 100kΩ to VOUT) for logic-level interface to µC reset pin. |
| 5 OUT | Regulated Output | Delivers up to 300mA at 1.7V; requires 2.2µF ceramic capacitor (ESR < 0.1Ω) to GND for loop stability and noise filtering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| p-Channel MOSFET Pass Transistor | Eliminates base-drive current loss, maintaining 55µA quiescent current even at full 300mA load and in dropout. |
| Foldback Current Limiting | Reduces current limit from 500mA (pulsed) to 420mA when VOUT drops below 93%, protecting against sustained overload. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Shuts down at 170°C junction temperature and re-enables only after cooling by 20°C, preventing thermal oscillation during overload. |
| Low-Noise Input Rejection | 40dB PSRR at 1kHz enables clean 1.7V supply in noisy environments such as cellular RF front-ends. |
| Valid POK Operation Down to 1.0V Input | Allows reliable power monitoring even during deep battery discharge, supporting graceful system shutdown. |
Applications
| Wireless Handsets | Digital Cameras |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B172MR-G | 1.7V fixed output, 300mA, 150mV dropout at 200mA, no POK output, 25µA IQ | Lacks power-good signaling; suitable where system-level monitoring replaces POK dependency | Select when POK is unnecessary and lower quiescent current is prioritized over dropout performance |
| Diodes Inc. AP7361-17SG-13 | 1.7V fixed output, 300mA, 250mV dropout at 300mA, active-high POK, 60µA IQ | Active-high POK requires level-shifting or logic inversion; higher dropout limits low-VIN operation | Choose when active-high reset signaling aligns with existing µC interface and input voltage margin exceeds 2.0V |
Compared with XC6219B172MR-G and AP7361-17SG-13, the MAX8888EZK17+T uniquely combines 100mV dropout at 200mA with an open-drain POK referenced to its own output, enabling direct, self-consistent power monitoring without external components or voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX8888EZK17+T over temperature and load?
The MAX8888EZK17+T maintains ±3% output voltage accuracy across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and for load currents from 100µA to 300mA. This specification is guaranteed by design and verified in production testing, ensuring reliable 1.7V regulation for sensitive analog and digital circuits without external trimming.
Does the MAX8888EZK17+T require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes, the MAX8888EZK17+T requires two external ceramic capacitors: a 2.2µF capacitor between IN and GND, and another 2.2µF capacitor between OUT and GND. Both must have ESR < 0.1Ω. These capacitors ensure loop stability, reduce output noise, and improve transient response - omitting or undersizing them risks oscillation or poor regulation under dynamic load conditions.
How does the POK output of the MAX8888EZK17+T behave during shutdown?
During shutdown (SHDN = GND), the MAX8888EZK17+T drives both OUT and POK low. The POK pin remains actively pulled low regardless of output voltage level, providing a deterministic reset signal to downstream logic. This behavior ensures clean, synchronized power-down sequencing in systems where POK is used for microcontroller reset or state machine control.
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX8888EZK17+T can tolerate on the IN pin?
The MAX8888EZK17+T supports an absolute maximum input voltage of +7V on the IN pin relative to GND. However, its functional operating range is specified from 2.5V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may cause excessive power dissipation or thermal stress, and operation above 7V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the datasheet.
Is the MAX8888EZK17+T pin-compatible with other variants in the MAX8887/MAX8888 family?
Yes, all MAX8887/MAX8888 variants, including MAX8888EZK17+T, share identical 5-pin SOT23 pinouts and electrical footprints. The only functional differences between variants are output voltage setting (encoded in the suffix) and presence/absence of the POK pin - MAX8887 lacks POK (pin 4 is BP), while MAX8888 uses pin 4 for POK and omits BP. Layout reuse is possible within the same device type.
