DESCRIPTION
MAS9124 is a low dropout voltage regulator with an
enable/disable pin, which allows device to be turned
off or on by pulling control to low or high.
Due to the low noise level of only 20 µVrms,
MAS9124 is suitable for sensitive circuits, e.g., in
portable applications. In addition to the noise levels,
MAS9124 excels in dropout voltage (70 mV typical
at 50 mA) and rise time (16 µs typical without
bypass capacitor). Also its ripple rejection ability of
65 dB at 10 kHz exceeds that of competition.
The Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) range of
output capacitors that can be used with MAS9124 is
very wide. This ESR range from a few m Ω up to a
couple of Ohms com bined with no minimum output
current requirement m akes the usage of MAS9124
easier and low in cost.
In order to save power the device goes into sleep
mode when the regulator is disabled. An internal
thermal protection circuit prevents the device from
overheating. Also the maximum output current is
internally limited.
