General Description
The MAX8873T/S/R and MAX8874T/S/R low-dropout linear regulators operate from a +2.5V to +6.5V input range and deliver up to 120mA. A PMOS pass transistor allows the low, 82µA supply current to remain independent of load, making these devices ideal for battery-operated portable equipment such as cellular phones and cordless phones.

FEATUREs
♦ LP2980 Pin-Compatible SOT23 Package
♦ Low, 55mV Dropout Voltage at 50mA IOUT (130mV at 120mA)
♦ Low, 73µA No-Load Supply Current Low, 82µA Operating Supply Current (even in dropout)
♦ Miniature External Components
♦ Thermal Overload Protection
♦ Output Current Limit
♦ Reverse Battery Protection
♦ Dual Mode Operation: Fixed or Adjustable (1.25V to 6.5V) Output
♦ Low-Power Shutdown
