DESCRIPTION
The Si91872 is a 300-mA CMOS LDO (low dropout) voltage
regulator. It is the perfect choice for low voltage, low power
applications. An ultra low ground current and ultra fast turn-on
make this part attractive for battery operated power systems.
The Si91872 also offers ultra low dropout voltage to prolong
battery life in portable electronics. Systems requiring a quiet
voltage source will benefit from the Si91872’s low output noise.
The Si91872 is designed to maintain regulation while
delivering 400-mA peak current, making it ideal for systems
that have a high surge current upon turn-on.
For better transient response and regulation, an active
pull-down circuit is built into the Si91872 to clamp the output
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
voltage when it rises beyond normal regulation. The Si91872
automatically discharges the output voltage by connecting the
output to ground through a 100-W n-channel MOSFET when
the device is put in shutdown mode.
The Si91872 features reverse battery protection to limit
reverse current flow to approximately 1-mA in the event
reversed battery is applied at the input, thus preventing
damage to the IC.
The Si91872 is available in both the standard and
lead (Pb)-free 5-pin MLP33 PowerPAK packages and is
specified to operate over the industrial temperature range of
−40_C to 85_.
