Description
The LD39050 provides 500 mA maximum current
from an input voltage ranging from 1.5 V to 5.5 V
with a typical dropout voltage of 200 mV. Stability
is provided using ceramic capacitors. The ultra
low drop-voltage, low quiescent current and low
noise features make it suitable for low power
battery-powered applications. Power supply
rejection is 65 dB at low frequencies and starts to
roll off at 10 kHz. An Enable logic control function
puts the LD39050 in shut-down mode allowing a
total current consumption lower than 1 µA. The
device also includes short-circuit constant current
limiting and thermal protection. Typical
applications are mobile phones, personal digital
assistants (PDAs), cordless phones and similar
battery-powered systems.
