The Maxim MAX8877EZK30+T is a single-output positive fixed linear regulator delivering 3 V at up to 150 mA.
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.
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.
