CAT6218
300mA CMOS LDO Regulator
FEATURES
Guaranteed 300mA output current Low dropout voltage of 180mV typical at 300mA Stable with 1μF ceramic output capacitor External 10nF bypass capacitor for low noise Quick-start feature No-load ground current of 55μA typical Full-load ground current of 80μA typical ±1.0% initial accuracy (VOUT ≥ 2.0V) ±2.0% accuracy over temperature (VOUT ≥ 2.0V) “Zero” current shutdown mode Fold-back current limit and under-voltage lockout Thermal protection Thin SOT23-5 package
DESCRIPTION
The CAT6218 is a 300mA CMOS low dropout regulator that provides fast response time during load current and line voltage changes. The quick-start feature allows the use of an external bypass capacitor to reduce the overall output noise without affecting the turn-on time of just 150μs. With zero shutdown current and low ground current of 55μA typical, the CAT6218 is ideal for batteryoperated devices with supply voltages from 2.3V to 5.5V. An internal under voltage lockout circuit disables the output at supply voltages under 2.1V typical. The CAT6218 offers 1% initial accuracy and low dropout voltage, 180mV typical at 300mA. Stable operation is provided with a small value ceramic capacitor, reducing required board space and compo– nent cost. Other features include fold-back current current limit and thermal protection. The device is available in the low profile (1mm max height) 5-lead thin SOT23 package.

PIN FUNCTION
VIN is the supply pin for the LDO. A small 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VIN pin and ground near the device. When using longer connections to the power supply, CIN value can be increased without limit. The operating input voltage range is from 2.3V to 5.5V. EN is the enable control logic (active high) for the regulator output. It has a 2.5MΩ pull-down resistor, which assures that if EN pin is left open, the circuit is disabled. VOUT is the LDO regulator output. A small 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VOUT pin and ground for stability. For better transient response, its value can be increased to 4.7μF. The capacitor should be located near the device. ESR domain is 5mΩ to 500mΩ. VOUT can deliver a maximum guaranteed current of 300mA. For input-tooutput voltages higher than 1V, a continuous 300mA output current might turn-on the thermal protection. A 250Ω internal shutdown switch discharges the output capacitor in the no-load condition. GND is the ground reference for the LDO. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. BYP is the reference bypass pin. An optional 0.01μF capacitor can be connected between BYP pin and GND to reduce the output noise and enhance the PSRR at high frequency.

Notes: (1) Exceeding maximum rating may damage the device (2) The maximum allowable power dissipation at any TA (ambient temperature) is PDmax = (TJmax – TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. (3) The device is not guaranteed to work outside its operating rating.
