5V/3.3V or Adjustable, Low-Dropout,

8

_______________________________________________________________________________________

In adjustable mode, the user selects an output voltage

in the 1.25V to 11V range by connecting two external

resistors, used as a voltage-divider, to the SET pin

(Figure 2).

The output voltage is set by the following equation:

To simplify resistor selection:

Since the input bias current at SET is nominally zero,

large resistance values can be used for R1 and R2 to

minimize power consumption without losing accuracy.

Up to 1.5M

ance is less than ±40mV, the output can be set using

fixed resistors instead of trim pots.

Standby Mode (MAX882)

The MAX882 has a standby feature that disconnects

the input from the output when STBY is brought low, but

drops to 0, and the internal biasing circuitry (including

the low-battery comparator) remains on. The maximum

quiescent current during standby is 15µA. STBY is a

comparator input with the other input internally tied to

the reference voltage. Use a resistor network as shown

in Figure 3 to set a standby-mode threshold voltage for

undervoltage lockout. Connect STBY to IN for normal

operation.

OFF Mode (MAX883/MAX884)

A low-logic input on the OFF pin shuts down the

MAX883/MAX884. In this mode, the pass transistor,

control circuit, reference, and all biases are turned off,

and the supply current is reduced to less than 1µA.

LBO is undefined in OFF mode. Connect OFF to IN for

normal operation.
