8181
LOW-DROPOUT, 5 V REGULATOR
鈥?HIGH EFFICIENCY
Especially suited for hand-held, portable, battery-operated equip-
ment such as cellular telephones, the A8181SLB low dropout voltage
regulator provides high efficiency for maximum battery life in a mini-
mum package size. Equally applicable to camcorders and portable
computers, the device provides a fixed 5 V regulated continuous output
at almost 200 mA of load current under worst-case conditions. Under
normal operating conditions, output currents over 500 mA are
permitted.
A MOSFET pass element delivers high output current with an
input-output differential of less than 300 mV. For high efficiency, the
low dropout voltage allows a longer battery discharge before output
voltage regulation is lost. A low quiescent current, even during high
load conditions, makes the device ideal for standby power systems.
High regulator accuracy and excellent temperature characteristics are
provided by a bandgap reference. An enable input gives the designer
complete control over sequential power-up or emergency shutdown.
This device is supplied in a 16-lead wide-body, small-outline
plastic power package (SOIC) for surface-mount applications. The
copper batwing provides for maximum package power dissipation in
the smallest possible construction. The A8181SLB is rated for opera-
tion over a temperature range of -20擄C to +85擄C.

* Output current rating is limited by input voltage,

set of conditions, do not exceed a junction
temperature of +150擄C. See next page.
鈥?Fault conditions that produce excessive
junction temperature will activate device thermal
shutdown circuitry. These conditions can be
tolerated but should be avoided.
