RT9198T
300mA, Thermal Folded Back CMOS LDO Regulator
General Description
The RT9198T is designed for portable RF and wireless
applications with demanding performance and space
requirements. The RT9198T performance is optimized for
battery-powered systems to deliver ultra low noise and
low quiescent current. Regulator ground current increases
only slightly in dropout, further prolonging the battery life.
The RT9198T also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors,
reducing the amount of board space necessary for power
applications, critical in hand-held wireless devices. The
RT9198T consumes less than 0.01uA in shutdown mode
and has fast turn-on time less than 50μs. RT9198T is short
circuit thermal folded back protected. RT9198T lowers its
OTP trip point from 165°C to 110°C when output short
circuit occurs (V
< 0.4V) providing maximum safety to
OUT
end users. The other features include ultra low dropout
voltage, high output accuracy, current limiting protection,
and high ripple rejection ratio. Available in the SOT-23-3,
SOT-23-5 and SC-70-5 packages, the RT9198T also offers
a range of 1.5V to 3.5V with 0.1V per step.
