What this 1.8V LDO brings to the board
The MAX8877EZK18-T is a fixed-output linear regulator from Maxim Integrated that delivers a clean 1.8V rail at up to 150mA.
Dropout voltage is typically 165mV at the full 150mA load. Quiescent current is 180µA typical.
Not rated for under-hood automotive or downhole tools, but fine for most PCB-level local regulation inside an enclosure.
The RoHS status is marked non-compliant, so verify your assembly line's exemption allowance.
