Working Principles

The MAX8866REUA+T is a low-dropout voltage regulator that maintains a stable output voltage despite fluctuations in the input voltage. It achieves this by using a pass transistor to regulate the voltage across a series resistor. The feedback pin (FB) allows the user to set the desired output voltage, which is compared to an internal reference voltage. Any deviation from the reference voltage is corrected by adjusting the pass transistor's resistance.
