CAT6218 Datasheet, PDF (1/9 Pages) Catalyst Semiconductor – 300mA CMOS LDO Regulator
CAT6218
300 mA CMOS LDO
Regulator
Description
The CAT6218 is a 300 mA CMOS low dropout regulator that
provides fast response time during load current and line voltage
changes.
The quick−start feature allows the use of an external bypass
capacitor to reduce the overall output noise without affecting the
turn−on time of just 150 ms.
With zero shutdown current and low ground current of 55 mA
typical, the CAT6218 is ideal for battery−operated devices with supply
voltages from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. An internal under voltage lockout circuit
disables the output at supply voltages under 2.1 V typical.
The CAT6218 offers 1% initial accuracy and low dropout voltage,
180 mV typical at 300 mA. Stable operation is provided with a small
value ceramic capacitor, reducing required board space and
component cost.
Other features include fold−back current limit and thermal
protection.
The device is available in the low profile (1 mm max height) 5−lead
thin SOT23 package.
