The MAX3185CAP+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a low-power, 3.3V, ±15kV ESD-protected, low-dropout linear regulator that provides a constant voltage output. This IC is commonly used in various electronic devices and applications where stable voltage regulation is required.
Key features of the MAX3185CAP+ include:
1. Voltage Regulation: The IC regulates the input voltage and provides a stable output voltage. It accepts input voltages ranging from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with a wide range of power sources.
2. Low Dropout Voltage: The dropout voltage is the minimum voltage difference required between the input and output for the regulator to function properly. The MAX3185CAP+ has a low dropout voltage of only 145mV at a maximum output current of 150mA, ensuring efficient power conversion.
3. Low Quiescent Current: Quiescent current represents the current consumed by the regulator even when there is no load connected. The MAX3185CAP+ has a low quiescent current of 30μA, optimizing energy efficiency and extending battery life in portable devices.
4. ESD Protection: The IC is designed to withstand Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) up to ±15kV, providing robust protection against potential damage from static electricity
