General Description

The MAX8526/MAX8527/MAX8528 low-dropout linear regulators operate from input voltages as low as 1.425V and are able to deliver up to 2A of continuous output current with a maximum dropout voltage of only 200mV. The output voltage can be set from 0.5V to (VIN - 0.2V) and is 1.4 accurate over load and line variations, from 0°C to +85°C.
