Product details
Overview
The MAX8891EXK19+T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output, low-dropout linear regulator delivering 150mA with 120mV dropout at 120mA load, 40µA ground current, and ±3% output voltage accuracy over temperature. It features a p-channel MOSFET pass element, operates from 2V to 6V input, and is preset to 1.9V output-optimized for space-constrained battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8891EXK19+T datasheet, MAX8891EXK19+T pinout, MAX8891EXK19+T application, or MAX8891EXK19+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at light-to-moderate loads, PSRR of 65dB at 10kHz, stability with 1µF ceramic capacitors, and shutdown current below 1µA-critical for ultra-low-power system design.
Technical Context
The MAX8891EXK19+T implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving an internal p-channel MOSFET pass transistor (RDS(ON) ≈ 1Ω), enabling low quiescent current and minimal dropout across its 1.9V output range. Its architecture eliminates base-drive losses inherent in PNP-based LDOs, sustaining 40µA ground current independent of load up to 80mA.
Shutdown control is implemented via a dedicated SHDN pin with logic-low threshold ≤0.4V and bias current ≤0.01µA at +85°C, enabling deep-sleep power states. Thermal protection activates at +160°C with 10°C hysteresis, and current limiting holds output at 200mA during overload-ensuring robust operation without external protection circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.9V (factory-preset; no external feedback required) |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous-supports moderate-power RF ICs and microcontrollers |
| Dropout Voltage | 120mV at 120mA-enables operation down to VIN = 2.09V with full regulation |
| Ground Current | 40µA typical at light load-minimizes battery drain in standby mode |
| PSRR | 65dB at 10kHz-suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters |
| Output Accuracy | ±3% over -40°C to +85°C-ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 1.8V/1.9V I/O domains |
| Capacitor Requirement | Stable with 1µF ceramic on IN and OUT-reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. tantalum alternatives |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA-enables multi-week shelf life in battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX8891EXK19+T is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm height), optimized for high-density portable layouts. The package uses JEDEC-standard SC70-5 footprint with exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Unregulated Input Supply | Accepts 2V–6V input; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and noise filtering |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference & Thermal Path | Serves as primary return path and primary heat conduction route-must connect to large copper pour |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-Low Enable Control | Pull ≤0.4V to disable regulator; draws <0.01µA-compatible with GPIOs of ultra-low-power MCUs |
| 4 - N.C. | No Internal Connection | Not bonded; must be left floating-no routing or soldering required |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated 1.9V Output | Delivers up to 150mA; bypassed with 1µF ceramic to GND; high-impedance when SHDN asserted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| p-Channel MOSFET Pass Element | Eliminates base-drive current loss-maintains 40µA ground current across 0–80mA load range |
| 1µF Ceramic Stability | Enables use of small, low-ESR, high-reliability MLCCs instead of larger, aging-prone tantalum capacitors |
| 65dB PSRR @ 10kHz | Rejects ripple from switch-mode power supplies feeding shared input rails in multi-rail systems |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Auto-recovers after 10°C cooldown-prevents latch-up during transient overloads without system intervention |
| 120mV Dropout @ 120mA | Extends usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion (2.8V–4.2V) and NiMH (2.4V–3.6V) applications |
| ±3% Output Accuracy | Guarantees 1.84V–1.96V output across full temp/load range-meets 1.9V core rail tolerance for select ASICs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P192MR-G | 1.9V fixed, 150mA, 250mV dropout at 100mA, 1µA quiescent current | Higher dropout limits usable input range; lower IQ benefits ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select when lowest possible shutdown current is prioritized over dropout performance |
| Analog Devices ADP160ACBZ-1.9-R7 | 1.9V fixed, 150mA, 195mV dropout at 150mA, 550nA shutdown current, 1µF stable | Higher dropout and slightly higher ground current; superior shutdown leakage | Select when sub-1µA shutdown is mandatory and 195mV dropout is acceptable in system margin |
Compared with the MAX8891EXK19+T, the XC6206P192MR-G trades 135mV higher dropout for 39µA lower ground current, while the ADP160ACBZ-1.9-R7 offers better shutdown leakage but sacrifices 75mV in dropout-making the MAX8891EXK19+T optimal where input headroom is constrained and moderate quiescent current is acceptable.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX8891EXK19+T deliver?
The MAX8891EXK19+T delivers a factory-preset 1.9V output voltage with ±3% accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This fixed output eliminates the need for external feedback resistors, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. The 1.9V rail is specifically targeted at low-voltage analog circuits and I/O domains in portable devices where precise, stable bias is critical.
What is the dropout voltage specification for MAX8891EXK19+T at full load?
The MAX8891EXK19+T exhibits a dropout voltage of 120mV at 120mA load current, measured at +25°C. At 150mA maximum output, dropout increases to approximately 135mV for 1.9V output per datasheet characterization. This low dropout enables operation from partially discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries (down to ~2.09V input) while maintaining tight regulation-key for extending runtime in portable applications.
Does MAX8891EXK19+T require external feedback components?
No, the MAX8891EXK19+T does not require external feedback components. As a member of the MAX8891 family, it features an internally trimmed resistor divider that sets the output to 1.9V. Pin 4 is designated N.C. (No Connection) and must remain unconnected. This contrasts with the MAX8892 variant, which uses Pin 4 as FB (feedback) and requires two external resistors to set the output voltage.
How much quiescent current does MAX8891EXK19+T draw in normal operation?
The MAX8891EXK19+T draws 40µA of ground current (quiescent current) under normal operation with no load and at +25°C. This value remains stable across load currents up to 80mA and varies only modestly with temperature-reaching ~45µA at +85°C. Its p-channel MOSFET pass transistor architecture eliminates base-drive losses, making this quiescent current significantly lower than comparable PNP-based LDOs.
What capacitor values are required for stable operation of MAX8891EXK19+T?
The MAX8891EXK19+T is stable with a minimum of 1µF ceramic capacitor on both the input (IN) and output (OUT) pins. X7R or X5R dielectric MLCCs are recommended for full-temperature-range stability; Z5U or Y5V types may require ≥2.2µF at temperatures below -10°C. Larger capacitance improves PSRR and transient response but is not required for basic stability-enabling compact, low-cost designs.
