Product Summary

The MAX689CSA is a low-dropout linear regulator which operates with an input-to-output voltage differential limited only by an external PNP transistor. Outputs are fixed at 3.3V (MAX687/MAX688) or 3.0V (MAX689). The only external components required are a PNP pass transistor and output, compensation, and bypass capacitors. Base drive to the external transistor is at least 10mA, permitting output currents to exceed 1A when using high-gain transistors (b > 100). The applications of the MAX689CSA include High-Efficiency Linear Regulator, Battery-Powered Devices, Portable Instruments, Portable Telephones, Power Supply or Backup Supply for Memory.
