150mA ULTRA LOW DROPOUT
MICROPOWER LINEAR REGULATOR
SC112
PRELIMINARY - July 25, 2000
1
DESCRIPTION
The SC112 is a 150mA ultra low dropout linear
regulator with a built in CMOS/TTL logic level enable,
designed specifically for battery powered applications
where low quiescent current and low dropout are
critical for battery longevity.
The SC112 uses a Semtech proprietary internal PNP
device for the pass element, providing a low dropout
voltage of 130mV at a load of 60mA.
The output noise is reduced to 30µV (typical) by
placing a very low leakage 10nF capacitor on pin 3
(noise bypass).
Each device contains a bandgap reference, error
amplifier, PNP pass element, thermal and current
limiting circuitry and resistor divider network for setting
output voltage.
The SC112 is packaged in a six lead SOT-23 surface
mount package for a very small footprint and it requires
only a 1µF capacitor on the output and a 0.01µF on the
bypass pin for a minimum number of external
components.
