MAX8510EXK28-T

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The MAX8510EXK28-T is a fixed-output low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It provides a fixed output voltage of 2.8V with a maximum continuous output current of 120mA. The device operates within an input voltage range of 2V to 6V and features a typical dropout voltage of 90mV at full load. It incorporates ultra-low noise architecture, achieving 11µV RMS output noise and high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR). The regulator includes shutdown control, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown. It is housed in a compact SC-70-5 surface-mount package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or certified distributor declarations. Ensure the component source is authorized to avoid counterfeit risks. Check for specific lot traceability requirements if applicable to your manufacturing standards. Validate that the SC-70-5 footprint matches your PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-low noise performance is critical for signal integrity in analog or RF sections. The fixed 2.8V output eliminates external resistor dividers, simplifying board layout compared to adjustable variants. Consider the 120mA current limit against peak load demands. The SC-70-5 package offers space savings but requires adequate thermal consideration for power dissipation under heavy loads. Verify input voltage stability remains above the minimum threshold during battery discharge cycles.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX8510/MAX8511/MAX8512 family of ultra-low-noise LDO regulators. The MAX8510 variant specifically distinguishes itself by requiring an external bypass capacitor on the output, unlike the MAX8511 which is internally compensated. This family targets applications demanding minimal power supply interference, such as precision measurement and communication systems, while maintaining a small physical footprint suitable for portable electronics.
