RT2519
1A, Low Noise, Ultra High PSRR, Low-Dropout Linear Regulator
General Description
Features
The RT2519 is a high performance positive low dropout
(LDO) regulator designed for applications requiring very
low dropout voltage and ultra high Power Supply Ripple
Rejection (PSRR) at up to 1A. The input voltage range is
from 2.2V to 6V and the output voltage is programmable
as low as 0.8V. A P-MOSFET switch provides excellent
transient response with just a 4.7μF ceramic output
capacitor. The external enable control effectively reduces
power dissipation while shutdown and further output noise
immunity is achieved through bypass capacitor on NR pin.
Additionally, the RT2519 features a precise 3% output
regulation over line, load, and temperature variations. The
device is available in the VDFN-8AL 3x3 package and is
specified from −40°C to 125°C.

RT2519
Operation
The RT2519 is a low noise, high PSRR LDO which
supports very low dropout operation. The operating input
range from 2.2V to 6V and the output voltage is
programmable as low to 0.8V and the output current can
be up to 1A. The internal compensation network is well
designed to achieve fast transient response with good
stability.
In steady-state operation, the feedback voltage is
regulated to the reference voltage by the internal regulator.
When the feedback voltage signal is less than the
reference, the output current passes through the power
MOSFET will be increased. The extra amount of the
current is sent to the output until the voltage level of FB
pin returns to the reference.
On the other hand, if the feedback voltage is higher than
the reference, the power MOSFET current is decreased.
The excess charge at the output can be released by the
loading current.
Start-Up
The RT2519 has a quick-start circuit to charge the noise
reduction capacitor (CNR). The switch of the quick-start
circuit is closed at start up.
To reduce the noise from bandgap, there is a low-pass
(RC) filter consist of the CNR and the resistance which is
connected with bandgap, as Functional Block Diagrams
present.
At the start-up, the quick-start switch is closed, with only
35kΩ resistance between bandgap and NR pin. The quickstart switch opens approximate 2ms after the device is
enabled, the resistance between NR and bandgap is about
224kΩ to form a very good low pass filter and with great
noise reduction performance.
opens the quick-start switch, the CNR will be charged
through higher resistance 224kΩ and takes much longer
time to finish the start up process.
Enable and Shutdown Operation
The RT2519 goes into sleep mode when the EN pin is in
a logic low condition. In this condition, the pass transistor,
error amplifier, and bandgap are all turned off, reducing the
supply current to only 2μA (max.). If the shutdown mode
is not required, the EN pin can be directly tied to VIN pin
to keep the LDO on.
Current Limit
The RT2519 continuously monitors the output current to
protect the pass transistor against abnormal operations.
When an overload or short circuit is encountered, the
current limit circuitry controls the pass transistor's gate
voltage to limit the output within the predefined range. By
reason of the build-in body diode, the pass transistor
conducts current when the output voltage exceeds input
voltage. Since the current is not limited, external current
protection should be added if device may work at reverse
voltage state.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The RT2519 has an over-temperature protection. When
the device triggers the OTP, the device shuts down until
the temperature back to normal state.
Under Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
The RT2519 utilizes an under voltage lock-out circuit to
keep the output shut off until the internal circuitry is
operating properly. The UVLO circuit has a de-glitch feature
so that it typically ignores undershoot transients on the
input if they are less than 30μs duration.
The 35kΩ resistance is used to slow down the reference
voltage ramp to avoid inrush current at chip start-up, and
the start-up time can be calculated as :
tSS (sec) = 160000 x CNR (F)
(1)
It is recommend the CNR value larger than 0.01μF to reduce
noise, and low leakage ceramic capacitors are suitable.
However, with too large CNR will extend the start-up time
very long if the CNR is not fully charged during 2ms and

Note 1. Stresses beyond those listed “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2. θJA is measured under natural convection (still air) at TA = 25°C with the component mounted on a high effectivethermal-conductivity four-layer test board on a JEDEC 51-7 thermal measurement standard. θJC is measured at the
exposed pad of the package.
Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 5. The spec. doesn't cover the tolerances from external resistors, and which is not tested at condition of VOUT = 0.8V, 4.5V
≤ VIN ≤ 6V, and 750mA ≤ IOUT ≤ 1A since the power dissipation of the device is totally higher than the maximum rating
of the package to lead a thermal shutdown issue.

RT2519
Application Information
The RT2519 is a low voltage, low dropout linear regulator
with input voltage from 2.2V to 6V and a fixed output voltage
from 0.8V to 5.5V.
Dropout Voltage
The dropout voltage refers to the voltage difference between
the VIN and VOUT pins while operating at specific output
current. The dropout voltage VDO also can be expressed
as the voltage drop on the pass-FET at specific output
current(IRATED) while the pass-FET is fully operating at
ohmic region and the pass-FET can be characterized as
an resistance RDS(ON). Thus the dropout voltage can be
defined as (VDO = VVIN − VVOUT = RDS(ON) x IRATED).
For normal operation, the suggested LDO operating range
is (VVIN > VVOUT + VDO) for good transient response and
PSRR ability. Vice versa, while operating at the ohmic
region will degrade these performance severely.
Output Voltage Setting
For the RT2519, the voltage on the FB pin sets the output
voltage and is determined by the values of R1 and R2.
The values of R1 and R2 can be calculated for any voltage
using the formula given in Equation :
VOUT =
R1 + R2
R2
0.8
Using lower values for R1 and R2 is recommended to
reduces the noise injected from the FB pin. Note that R1
is connected from VOUT pin to FB pin, and R2 is
connected from FB to GND.
Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pull the EN pin low
(1.2V,
