Datasheet

General Description
The MAX1658/MAX1659 linear regulators maximize
battery life by combining ultra-low supply currents
and low-dropout voltages. They feature Dual Mode™
operation, which presets the output to 3.3V (MAX1658) or
5V (MAX1659), or permits it to be adjusted between 1.25V
and 16V. The regulator supplies up to 350mA, with a
typical dropout of 650mV for the MAX1658 and 490mV for
the MAX1659. With their p-channel MOSFET pass transis-
tor, these devices maintain a low quiescent current from
zero output current to the full 350mA, even in dropout.
They support input voltages ranging from 2.7V to 16.5V.
The MAX1658/MAX1659 feature a 1μA shutdown mode,
reverse-battery protection, short-circuit protection, and
thermal shutdown. They are available in a special high-
power (1.2W), 8-pin SO package designed specifically for
compact applications.
