The MAX8841 does not require a bypass capacitor, hence achieving the smallest PC board area. The MAX8842 output voltage can be adjusted with an external divider. The MAX8840/MAX8841 are preset to a variety of voltages in the 1.5V to 4.5V range. Designed with a p-channel MOSFET series pass transistor, the MAX8840/MAX8841/ MAX8842 maintain very low ground current (40A). The regulators are designed and optimized to work with low-value, low-cost ceramic capacitors. The MAX8840 requires only 1F (typ) of output capacitance for stability with any load. When disabled, current consumption drops to below 1A.
