LP3981
Micropower, 300mA Ultra Low-Dropout CMOS Voltage
Regulator
General Description
The LP3981鈥檚 performance is optimized for battery powered
systems to deliver ultra low noise, extremely low dropout
voltage and low quiescent current. Regulator ground current
increases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging the
battery life.
Power supply rejection is better than 60 dB at low frequen-
cies. This high power supply rejection is maintained down to
lower input voltage levels common to battery operated cir-
cuits.
The device is ideal for mobile phone and similar battery
powered wireless applications. It provides up to 300 mA,
from a 2.5V to 6V input, consuming less than 1碌A(chǔ) in disable
mode and has fast turn-on time less than 200碌s.
The LP3981 is available in MSOP-8 package. For LP3981 in
LLP-6 package, contact NSC sales offices. Performance is
specified for 鈭?0藲C to +125藲C temperature range. The de-
vice available in the following output voltages; 2.5V, 2.7V,
2.8V, 2.83V, 3.0V, 3.03V and 3.3V as standard. Other output
options can be made available, please contact your local
NSC sales office.
