DESCRIPTION
The IRU1206 family of devices are ultra low dropout 1A
regulators using PNP transistor as the pass element.
These products are ideal when a single input supply is
only available and the dropout voltage is less than 1V,
exceeding the minimum dropout characteristics of NPN/
PNP hybrid regulators. One common application of these
regulators is where input is 3.3V and a 2.5V output is
needed.
Besides the low dropout of less than 0.5V, other features of the family of the parts are: micro-power shutdown capability and output UVLO detection where Flag
pin is switched low when output is below 5% of its nominal point.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Unless otherwise specified, these specifications apply over CIN=COUT=10µF, V IN=Vo+1V, VOUT=VFB (For adjustable
version only), and TA=25°C. Typical values refer to TA=25°C. Low duty cycle pulse testing is used which keeps
junction and case temperatures equal to the ambient temperature.

The input pin of the regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from this pin
to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum drop out voltage
during the load transient response. This pin must always be 0.6V higher than VOUT in order
for the device to regulate properly.
The output of the regulator. A minimum of 2.2µF capacitor must be connected from this pin
to ground.
Ground pin. This pin must be connected to the lowest potential in the system and all other
pins must be at higher potential with respect to this pin.
Enable pin. A low signal or left open on this pin shuts down the output. This pin must be tied
HI or to VIN for normal operation.
An open collector output that switches low when the output voltage drops about 4% below
its expected regulated voltage.
A resistor divider from this pin to the VOUT pin and ground sets the output voltage.
Note 3: Ground current is the regulator quiescent current plus the pass transistor current. The total current
from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the
ground pin current.
Note 4: The specification applies for the junction temperature of 0 to +125"C.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Stability
The IRU120X series of regulators require the use of an
output capacitor as part of the frequency compensation
in order to make the regulator stable. A minimum of 2.2µF
capacitance and the ESR in the range of 0.5 to 2Ω insures the stability of the system.
