Product details
Overview
MAX8888EZK22+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout linear regulator delivering 300mA continuous output at 2.2V with 100mV dropout at 200mA, featuring an active-low open-drain POK flag and 55µA no-load quiescent current. It operates from 2.5V–5.5V input and targets power management in portable battery-powered systems including wireless handsets and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8888EZK22+T datasheet, MAX8888EZK22+T pinout, MAX8888EZK22+T application, or MAX8888EZK22+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2.2V output accuracy (±3%), thermal/short-circuit protection, SOT23-5 package compatibility, and POK flag timing behavior under load transients and undervoltage conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX8888EZK22+T integrates a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor with 0.5Ω RDS(ON), enabling low dropout and load-independent 55µA ground current. Its error amplifier compares feedback from an internal voltage divider against a 1.25V reference to regulate output.
POK functionality uses a comparator monitoring VOUT against 92.5%–95% of nominal voltage with 1% hysteresis; the open-drain output requires external pullup and asserts low during startup, dropout, or shutdown. Thermal shutdown activates at +170°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.2V ±3% over -40°C to +85°C, factory-preset - eliminates external resistor network and calibration effort. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 300mA - supports core logic rails in handheld devices without derating at +70°C ambient. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 200mA - enables operation down to 2.4V input for 2.2V output, extending usable battery life in Li-ion discharge profiles. |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA at no load - maintains ultra-low standby power in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |
| POK Threshold Accuracy | 92.5% to 95% of nominal VOUT - provides reliable power-good assertion for µC reset sequencing with minimal external components. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - reduces system leakage to sub-nA levels when paired with high-impedance SHDN pullup. |
| PSRR @ 1kHz | 40dB - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input rail. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8888EZK22+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant, thin-profile 5-pin SOT23 package (1mm height), optimized for space-constrained 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 current and POK sink; must be connected directly to system ground plane. |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Logic low (<0.6V) disables regulator and forces OUT/POK low; tolerates up to 6V regardless of VIN/VOUT. |
| 4 - POK | Open-drain power-ok indicator | Drives low when VOUT < 92.5% of 2.2V; requires external pullup (e.g., 100kΩ to VOUT) for logic-level signaling. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.2V ±3% at up to 300mA; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor (ESR < 0.1Ω) to GND for loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| p-Channel MOSFET pass element | Enables 100mV dropout at 200mA and eliminates base-drive current loss - critical for efficiency in low-VIN battery scenarios. |
| Integrated foldback current limiting | Reduces short-circuit current to 420mA when VOUT drops below 93% of 2.2V - protects downstream circuitry during fault events. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Disables output at +170°C junction temperature and re-enables only after cooling by 20°C - prevents thermal runaway in enclosed enclosures. |
| 0.1µA shutdown supply current | Minimizes battery drain during deep sleep modes - extends shelf life and runtime in IoT edge nodes and wearables. |
| POK flag with 1% hysteresis | Provides clean, bounce-free power-good signal for microcontroller reset timing - avoids false resets during brownout recovery. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P222MR-G | 2.2V fixed output, 150mA max, no POK, 350mV dropout at 100mA | Lacks power-good signaling and higher current capability - suitable only for non-critical, low-power sensor rails. | Select when POK is unnecessary and board space permits larger dropout margin; not drop-in due to lower current and missing POK pin. |
| Diodes Inc. AP2204K-2.2TRG1 | 2.2V fixed output, 300mA, no POK, 250mV dropout at 300mA, 65µA IQ | Higher dropout and no POK flag - requires external monitoring circuitry for reset generation. | Choose if cost sensitivity outweighs need for integrated POK and ultra-low dropout; pinout differs (SOT-23-5 vs. SOT-25). |
Compared with XC6206P222MR-G and AP2204K-2.2TRG1, the MAX8888EZK22+T uniquely combines 300mA capability, 100mV dropout, and integrated POK in a standard SOT23-5 footprint - enabling simpler, more robust power sequencing in space- and performance-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX8888EZK22+T over temperature and load?
The MAX8888EZK22+T guarantees ±3% output voltage accuracy across the full operating range of -40°C to +85°C and for load currents from 100µA to 300mA. At +25°C and 100mA load, typical deviation is ±1.2%. This tolerance is maintained without external trimming components due to factory-set internal feedback resistors.
Does the MAX8888EZK22+T require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin?
No - the BP (bypass) pin is specific to the MAX8887 variant for noise reduction and is not present on the MAX8888EZK22+T. The MAX8888EZK22+T uses a different internal architecture that omits the BP pin; its pinout is IN-GND-SHDN-POK-OUT. Refer to the MAX8888 functional diagram and pin description for correct layout.
How does the POK output behave during shutdown of the MAX8888EZK22+T?
During shutdown (SHDN = low), the MAX8888EZK22+T drives both OUT and POK low. The POK pin remains actively pulled low regardless of output voltage level - it does not float or go high-impedance. This ensures deterministic reset behavior in systems where POK feeds a microcontroller's reset input.
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 2.2V output with 300mA load?
At 300mA load, the MAX8888EZK22+T exhibits a maximum dropout voltage of 150mV (per Electrical Characteristics table). Therefore, the minimum input voltage for regulation is 2.2V + 0.15V = 2.35V. For guaranteed 100mV dropout, limit load to 200mA - enabling stable 2.2V output down to 2.4V input.
Can the MAX8888EZK22+T be used with ceramic output capacitors having ESR above 0.1Ω?
No - the MAX8888EZK22+T requires an output capacitor with ESR ≤ 0.1Ω to ensure loop stability and optimal transient response. Ceramic capacitors meeting this specification (e.g., X5R/X7R 2.2µF in 0603 or 0805) are recommended. Higher-ESR capacitors such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic may cause oscillation or excessive overshoot during load steps.
