Key Featrues

Ultra-Low Supply Current (3.5µA at 12V): The MAX8880/MAX8881 regulators feature an ultra-low supply current of 3.5µA at 12V, significantly extending battery life in portable and battery-powered applications. This makes them ideal for devices like PDAs, remote transmitters, and smoke detectors, where long operational life is critical.
Reverse Battery Protection: The inclusion of reverse battery protection ensures the device remains safe and functional even if the battery is connected incorrectly. This feature enhances reliability and durability in applications where battery replacement or installation errors might occur.
Wide Input Voltage Range (2.5V to 12V): With an input voltage range of 2.5V to 12V, these regulators are versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, from low-voltage handheld devices to higher-voltage systems. This flexibility broadens their use cases across different electronic designs.
High Output Voltage Accuracy (±1.5%): The regulators provide a high output voltage accuracy of ±1.5%, ensuring stable and precise voltage regulation. This is particularly important for sensitive electronics like real-time clocks and CMOS backup power systems, where voltage stability is crucial for reliable operation.
Power-On Reset (POK) Indicator: The POK output feature indicates when the output voltage is out of regulation, providing a clear signal for system monitoring and fault detection. This enhances system reliability by allowing for immediate corrective action in case of voltage irregularities.
