Description
The LDLN015xx is an ultra low noise linear
regulator which provides 150 mA maximum
current from an input voltage ranging from 2.1 V
to 5.5 V with a typical dropout voltage of 86 mV.
With its 6.3 µV
Hz to 100 kHz, the LDLN015xx provides a very
clean output suitable for ultra sensitive loads. It is
noise value in a band from 10
RMS
DFN6 (2 x 2 mm)
stable with ceramic capacitors. High PSRR, low
quiescent current and very low noise features
make it suitable for low power battery powered
applications. Power supply rejection is higher than
90 dB at low frequencies and starts to roll off at 10
kHz. The enable logic control function puts the
LDLN015xx into shutdown mode allowing a total
current consumption lower than 1 µA. The device
also includes a short-circuit constant current
limiting and thermal protection. Typical
applications are noise sensitive loads like ADC,
VCO in mobile phones, and personal digital
assistants (PDAs).
