The SPX3819 is a positive voltage regulator with a low dropout voltage and low noise output. In addition,
this device offers a very low ground current of 800µA at 100mA output. The SPX3819 has an initial tolerance
of less than 1% max and a logic compatible ON/OFF switched input. When disabled power consumption
drop to nearly zero. Other key features include reverse battery protection, current limit, and thermal
shutdown. The SPX3819 includes a reference bypass pin for optimal low noise output performance. With
its very low output temperature coefficient, this device also makes a superior low power voltage reference.
The SPX3819 is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered applications such as cordless telephones,
radio control systems, and portable computers. It is available in several fixed voltages 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V,
2.5V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, 5.0V or with an adjustable output. This device is offered in 8 pin nSOIC, 8 pin DFN
and 5-pin SOT-23 packages.

The SPX3819 requires an output capacitor for
device stability. Its value depends upon the
application circuit. In general, linear regulator
stability decreases with higher output currents.
In applications where the SPX3819 is putting
out less current, a lower output capacitance may
be sufficient. For example, a regulator sourcing
only 10mA, requires approximately half the
capacitance as the same regulator sourcing
150mA.
Bench testing is the best method for determining
the proper type and value of the capacitor since
the high frequency characteristics of electrolytic capacitors vary widely, depending on type
and manufacturer. A high quality 2.2µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor works in most application circuits, but the same stability often can
be obtained with a 1µF tantalum electrolytic.
With the SPX3819 adjustable version, the minimum value of output capacitance is a function of
the output voltage. The value decreases with
higher output voltages, since closed loop gain is
increased.
The SPX3819 start-up speed is inversely proportional to the size of the BYP capacitor. Applications requiring a slow ramp-up of the output voltage should use a larger C

if a rapid turn-on is necessary, the BYP capacitor can be omitted.
The SPX3819’s internal reference is available
through the BYP pin.
Figure 1 represents a SPX3819 standard application circuit. The EN (enable) pin is pulled
high (>2.0V) to enable the regulator.
To disable the regulator, EN < 0.4V.
