Packaged in a SOT-23-5 and stable with 1 uF MLC filter capacitors, the footprint and profile of the LDS8211BP solution is ideal for auxiliary rails where space is at a premium. This low noise LDO will not interfere with sensitive loads such as fast I/O, RF or graphics processing circuits. Furthermore, the LDS8211BP is capable of regulating low output voltages, down to 1.175 V, an increasingly common requirement with deep sub-micron CMOS loads. The heart of this LDO is a precise, self-correcting AcuRef™ bandgap reference, delivering an output voltage tolerance within +/-2% over the full line, load and operating temperature range. An ENABLE function permits remote power management and sequencing for complex multi-rail loads. Comprehensive protection against load short circuits, overload and excessive junction temperature yields a robust, high performance solution for low current point of load regulation in static and portable applications.
"The LDO is still the solution of choice for noise-sensitive applications below 1 A," said Paul Greenland, Senior Director of Power Management Marketing at Leadis Technology. "The LDS8211BP out-performs its CMOS counterparts in demanding applications where low noise, precision and low voltage regulation are pre-requisites for benchmark system performance."
