The MAX8865T dual, low-dropout linear regulators operate from a +2.5V to +5.5V input range and deliver up to 100mA. At 200mA total load, the PMOS pass transistors keep the supply current at 145A, making these devices ideal for battery-operated portable equipment such as cellular phones, cordless phones, and modems.

The MAX8865T feature Dual Mode™ operation: their output voltages are preset (at 3.15V for the "T" versions, 2.84V for the "S" versions, or 2.80V for the "R" versions ) or can be adjusted with external resistor dividers. Other features of MAX8865T include independent low-power shutdown, short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown protection, and reverse battery protection. The MAX8866 also include an auto-discharge function, which actively discharges the selected output voltage to ground when the device is placed in shutdown mode. Both devices come in a miniature 8-pin MAX package.
