Zetex ZLDO330TB Datasheet
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The ZLDO Series low dropout linear
regulators operate with an exceptionally
low dropout voltage, typically only 30mV
with a load current of 100mA. The regulator
series features output voltages in the range
2.7 to 18 volts, this device provides an output
voltage of 3.3 volts.
The ZLDO330 consumes a typical quiescent
current of only 560µA and is rated to supply
load currents up to 300mA. A battery low flag
is available to indicate potential power fail
situations. If the input voltage falls to within
300mV of the regulated output voltage then
the error output pulls low. The device also
features an active high disable control. Once
disabled the ZLDO quiescent current falls to
typically 11µA.
The ZLDO devices are packaged in Zetex
SM8 8 pin small outline surface mount
package, ideal for applications where space
saving is important. The device low dropout
voltage, low quiescent current and small size
make it ideal for low power and battery
powered applications. Battery powered
circuits can make particular use of the low
battery flag and shutdown features.

PIN DEFINITIONS
Pin 1 LBF - Low Battery Flag. An open collector
NPN output which pulls low on failing input
supply.
Pin 2 SC - Shutdown Control. This high
impedance logic compatible input disables the
regulator when taken high. It includes a diode
wired to Vin and so will pass current if taken more
than 0.5V above Vin.
Pin 3 Vin - Voltage Input. The power supply to
the regulator. The permissible input voltage
range is -0.3 to 20V. An input capacitor is not
mandatory but will be useful in reducing the
coupling of noise from input to output and
minimising the effect of sudden changes in load
current on the input voltage.
Pin 4 N/C - Not Connected. Not internally
connected and so can be left open or wired to
any pin without affecting the performance of the
regulator.
Pin 5 Vout - Voltage Output. The output of the
regulator. An output capacitor of 1uF or greater
and having low ESR should be wired in close
proximity to the regulator to ensure stability for
all loads.
Pin 6 D/C - Do Not Connect. This pin is wired to
an internal circuit node of the regulator. No
external connection should be made to this pin.
Pin 7 Gnd - Ground. The ground connection of
the regulator against which the output voltage is
referenced.
Pin 8 Spg - Shaping. The shaping node for
the error amplifier of the regulator. A capacitor
of 10pF wired from this pin to the output pin
(pin 5) gives optimum stability. Improved AC
can be achieved by reducing the value of this
capacitor but stability may be impaired for
some load conditions.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ZLDO is a high performance, ultra low dropout, low quiescent regulator. Available in SM8 surface
mount packaging, the device is able to dissipate 2W(note 1) allowing complete design flexibility with
an input span upto 20V and 300mA output current. The device quiescent is 1mA (typ) at 300mA load
current. A low battery comparator signifies impending battery failure, whilst a shutdown function
reduces quiescent current to a mere 11µA (typ). A precision bandgap reference gives ± 2.5% output
tolerance and good temperature characteristics over the range -40 to +85°C. AC performance is
enhanced via the use of a small external capacitor.
NOTES.
1. Maximum power dissipation of the device is calculated assuming the package is mounted on a PCB
measuring 2 inches square.
