The MAX8882EUTAQ+T is a high-performance, 1.5A, low noise, and low dropout linear voltage regulator developed by MaximIntegrated. It is widely used in many electronic products with system voltage between 1.2V to 6.5V, such as battery-powered portable applications, automotive, and industrial. This document provides a general overview of the working principle, applications, and features of the MAX8882EUTAQ+T.

Working Principle

The MAX8882EUTAQ+T utilizes a low-dropout linear regulator topology that allows it to operate in a voltage regulator mode. The regulator is designed to maintain a constant output voltage by monitoring the input and output voltages and adjusting the current through the pass element of the regulator accordingly. The pass element is usually a p-channel MOSFET, and the regulator also includes a reference voltage source and some form of error amplifier.

The output voltage is set by the voltage reference, which is typically an externally applied voltage or a bandgap reference. The error amplifier has one input connected to the reference voltage, and the other input connected to the output voltage of the regulator. The output of the error amplifier is fed back to the gate of the pass element, and the pass element is controlled accordingly.

If the output voltage drops below the reference voltage, the error amplifier increases the gate voltage of the pass element, increasing the conductance of the pass element and allowing more current to flow into the output. Conversely, if the output voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the error amplifier lowers the gate voltage of the pass element, decreasing the conductance of the pass element and allowing less current to flow into the output.

Features

The MAX8882EUTAQ+T offers an adjustable output voltage range of 1.2V to 6.5V, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications. It offers two operating modes - Normal mode and Low-Dropout (LDO) mode. In LDO mode, the device operates with a low quiescent current of 3.2mA for higher power efficiency.

The device is capable of delivering up to 1.5A of output current with a minimum dropout voltage of 50mV at 1.5A, depending on the operating mode. It also features low output noise of 40μVrms, excellent temperature stability, and tight line/load regulation.

The MAX8882EUTAQ+T also offers current-limit protection and thermal shutdown protection to safeguard against excessive load conditions. The device is available in a tiny DFN10 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.

Applications

The MAX8882EUTAQ+T is suitable for post-regulating power from a DC/DC converter in portable electronic devices. It can also be used in automotive and industrial applications such as voltage stabilization, power supply sequencing, and system-level power distribution.

The device is suitable for powering a wide range of components and devices, such as microcontrollers, analog components, wireless modules, sensors, and actuators. The low noise and low dropout characteristics make it a suitable choice for powering low power audio applications, such as amplifiers and sound cards.

The device is also suitable for battery-powered applications, where it can maintain the system voltage while drawing minimal current from the battery. The thermal shutdown protection feature ensures that the device is protected against overload conditions.

Conclusion

The MAX8882EUTAQ+T is a versatile and high-performance linear voltage regulator capable of delivering up to 1.5A of output current with low dropout and low noise. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from battery-powered portable electronics to automotive and industrial systems. The device offers extensive protection features and an adjustable output voltage range of 1.2V to 6.5V, making it an ideal choice for many voltage regulation applications.
