What this LDO does and where it fits
The Maxim MAX8877EZK30+T is a single-output positive fixed linear regulator delivering 3 V at up to 150 mA. It comes in a thin SOT-23-5 package (TSOT-23-5) and is rated for -40°C to 85°C.
Dropout and quiescent — the numbers that matter
The 0.165 V dropout at 150 mA is the typical figure. The 180 µA quiescent current is the current the regulator burns just to stay alive.
Package and mounting
The TSOT-23-5 is a thin-profile variant of the standard SOT-23-5. It is a surface-mount package with five leads. The enable pin (Control Features: Enable) lets you shut down the output to near-zero current when the rail is not needed — tie it high for normal operation or drive it from a GPIO. The small footprint suits dense PCBs where board area is tight.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX8877EZK30+T is listed as active in the manufacturer's lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. It is available through independent distribution and is sourced to order against an RFQ.
