Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD(MAX)=(TJ(MAX)TA)/ θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation
will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry
protects the device from permanent damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7 4-layer board.

Enable Input. Drive EN high to turn on the MP8903; low to turn it off. For
automatic startup, connect EN to IN.
Power Source Input. IN supplies the internal power to the MP8903 and is the
source of the pass transistor. Bypass IN to GND with a 1μF or greater
capacitor.
Regulator Output. OUT is the output of the linear regulator. Bypass OUT to
GND with a 1μF or greater capacitor.
No Connect.
Feedback Input. Connect a resistive voltage divider from OUT to FB to set the
output voltage. The OUT feedback threshold is 1.222V.
OPERATION
The MP8903 is a low-current, low-dropout
linear regulator. The MP8903 uses a PMOS
pass element and features internal thermal
shutdown. The normally fixed output MP8903
may be converted to an adjustable output device
by applying a resistor divider network as shown in
Figure 2. An optional feed-forward capacitor, CBYP,
may be added for an improved transient response.

MP8903 – LOW DROPOUT, 150mA LINEAR REGULATOR
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting the Output Voltage
The fixed output voltage of the MP8903 is set to
2.5V, 2.85V or 3.3V, depending on the internal
resistor divider (Figure 1). You can also adjust
the output voltage by using an external resistor
divider (R1 and R2 in Figure 2). However, the
sum of R1 and R2 should not exceed 100kΩ in
order to minimize the impact of the internal
resistor divider. For an accurate output-voltage
setting, use 10kΩ (±1%) for the low-side
resistor R2 of the voltage divider, while the
high-side resistor R1 can be determined by the
equation:
⎛V
− VFB
R1 = R2 × ⎜⎜ OUT
VFB
⎝
⎞
⎟⎟
⎠
Where VFB is the OUT feedback threshold
voltage equal to 1.222V.
Example: For 2.5V Output
R1 =
2.5 V − 1.222 V
= 10.41kΩ
⎛ 1.222 V ⎞
⎜
⎟
⎝ 10kΩ ⎠
Input Capacitor Selection
For proper operation, place a ceramic capacitor
(C1) between 1µF and 10µF of dielectric type
X5R or X7R between the input pin and ground.
Larger values in this range will help improve
line transient response at the drawback of
increased size.
Output Capacitor Selection
For stable operation, use a ceramic capacitor
(C3) of type X5R or X7R between 1µF and
10µF. Larger values in this range will help
improve load transient response and reduce
noise with the drawback of increased size.
Output capacitors of other dielectric types may
be used, but are not recommended as their
capacitance can deviate greatly from their rated
value over temperature.
To improve load transient response, add a
small ceramic (X5R, X7R or Y5V dielectric)
100nF feed forward capacitor in parallel with R1.
The feed forward capacitor is not required for
stable operation.
You can select a standard 10.5kΩ (±1%)
resistor for R1.
The following table lists the selected R1 values
for some typical output voltages:

PCB LAYOUT GUIDE
PCB layout is very important to achieve good regulation, ripple rejection, transient response and
thermal performance. It is highly recommended to duplicate EVB layout for optimum performance.
If change is necessary, please follow these guidelines and take figure 5 for reference.
1)
Input and output bypass ceramic capacitors are suggested to be put close to the IN Pin and OUT
Pin respectively.
2)
Ensure all feedback connections are short and direct. Place the feedback resistors and
compensation components as close to the chip as possible.
3)
Connect IN, OUT and especially GND respectively to a large copper area to cool the chip to
improve thermal performance and long-term reliability.
