Operation
The RTQ2569 ultra low quiescent current regulator is
ideally suited for automotive and other battery operated
systems, with less than 2A quiescent current at a
10mA load. The device features low dropout voltage
and low current in the standby mode and retains all of
the features that are common to low dropout regulators
including a low dropout P-MOSFET, over current
protect circuit protection and thermal shutdown. The
RTQ2569 has a 36V maximum operating voltage limit
and ±2% output voltage tolerance over temperature
range.
Output Transistor
The RTQ2569 builds in a P-MOSFET output transistor
which provides a low switch-on resistance for low
dropout voltage applications.
Error Amplifier
The Error Amplifier compares the internal reference
voltage with the output feedback voltage from the
internal divider, and controls the Gate voltage of
P-MOSFET to support good line regulation and load
regulation at output voltage.

Enable
The RTQ2569 provides an EN pin, as an external chip
enable control, to enable or disable the device. If VEN is
held below a logic-low threshold voltage (VIL) of the
enable input (EN), the converter will enter into
shutdown mode, that is, the converter is disabled.
Current Limit Protection
Over-current protection of the RTQ2569 prevents IC
damaged and reduces the thermal effects by overload
conditions. When an overload or short circuit is happen,
the device will shut down to prevent IC damaged. IC
recovery when overload or short circuit is removed.
Over-Temperature Protection
The RTQ2569 includes an over-temperature protection
(OTP) circuitry to prevent overheating due to excessive
power dissipation. The OTP will shut down operation
when junction temperature exceeds a thermal
shutdown threshold 150°C (typ.). Once the junction
temperature cools down by a thermal shutdown
hysteresis 20°C, the IC will resume normal operation
with a complete soft-start.

Application Information
CIN and COUT Selection
The RTQ2569 devices are stable with output
capacitors with an effective capacitance of 1F. The
maximum capacitance for stability is 66F.
The effective capacitance is the minimum capacitance
value of a capacitor after taking into account variations
resulting from tolerances, temperature, and dc bias
effects. X5R and X7R type ceramic capacitors are
recommended because these capacitors have minimal
variation in value and ESR over temperature.
Although an input capacitor is not required for stability,
good analog design practice is to connect a 1F
capacitor from VCC to GND. This capacitor counteracts
reactive input sources and improves transient response,
input ripple, and PSRR.
Dropout Voltage
The dropout voltage refers to the voltage difference
between the VCC and VOUT pins while operating at
can be connect to the input supply VCC directly. For
external timing control (e.g. RC), the EN pin can also
be externally pull to High by adding a 100k or greater
resistor between the EN pin and the VCC pin.
For power sequence condition, the VCC should be
power on first. Because the device does not feature
UVLO input function, the EN pin threshold will be
different when VCC input voltage is below 2.5V. For
example, if provide the EN voltage of 1V and then
provide the VCC voltage of 1V (EN threshold voltage is
0.42V at VCC of 1V), the output voltage will be close to
VCC voltage (1V). Please refer to the enable threshold
voltage vs input voltage in Figure 1.

The RTQ2569 is a low quiescent current, low dropout
voltage linear regulator. The RTQ2569 has a 36V
maximum operating voltage limit, a 40°C to 125°C
operating temperature range, and 2% output voltage
tolerance over temperature range.

be characterized as an resistance RDS(ON). Thus the
dropout voltage can be defined as (VDROP = VCC
VOUT = RDS(ON) x IRATED).
The RTQ2569 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
For normal operation, the suggested LDO operating
range is (VCC VOUT + VDROP) for good transient
response and PSRR ability.
