+5V/Programmable Low-Dropout
Voltage Regulator
The MAX667 low-dropout, positive, linear voltage regulator supplies up to 250mA of output current. With no
load, it has a typical quiescent current of 20µA. At
200mA of output current, the input/output voltage differential is typically 150mV. Other features include a lowvoltage detector to indicate power failure, as well as
early-warning and low-dropout detectors to indicate an
imminent loss of output voltage regulation. A shutdown
control disables the output and puts the circuit into a
low quiescent-current mode.
The MAX667 employs Dual Mode™ operation. One
mode uses internally trimmed feedback resistors to produce +5V. In the other mode, the output may be varied
from +1.3V to +16V by connecting two external resistors.
The MAX667 is a pin-compatible upgrade to the
MAX666 in most applications where the input voltages
are above +3.5V. Choose the MAX667 when high output currents and/or low dropout voltages are desired,
as well as for improved performance at higher
temperatures.
