Refer to page 6 for pinouts. DESCRIPTION The SPX1202 is a low power positive-voltage regulator designed to satisfy moderate power requirements with a cost effective, small footprint solution. This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered applications and portable computers. The SPX1202 features very low quiescent current and a low dropout voltage of 1.1V at a full load. As output current decreases, quiescent current flows into the load, increasing efficiency. SPX1202 is available in adjustable or fixed 2.5V, 3V and 3.3V output voltages. The SPX1202 is offered in several 3-pin surface mount packages: SOT-223, TO-252, TO-220 and TO-263. An output capacitor of 10F provides unconditional stability while a smaller 2.2F capacitor is sufficient for most applications. BLOCK DIAGRAM

NOTES: Note 1: Output temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. Note 2: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential at very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account. Note 3: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied excluding load or line regulation effect.

APPLICATION INFORMATION Output Capacitor To ensure the stability of the SPX1202, an output capacitor of at least 10F (tantalum or ceramic)or 50F (aluminum) is required. The value may change based on the application requirements of the output load or temperature range. The value of ESR can vary based on the type of capacitor used in the applications. The recommended value for ESR is 0.5Ω or less. A larger value of output capacitance (up to 100F) can improve the load transient response. SOLDERING METHODS The SPX1202 SOT-223 package is designed to be compatible with infrared reflow or vaporphase reflow soldering techniques. During soldering, the non-active or mildly active fluxes may be used. The SPX1202 die is attached to the heatsink lead which exits opposite the input, output, and ground pins. Hand soldering and wave soldering should be avoided since these methods can cause damage to the device with excessive thermal gradients on the package. The SOT-223 recommended soldering method are as follows: vapor phase reflow and infrared reflow with the component preheated to within 65C of the soldering temperature range THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS The thermal resistance of SPX1202 depends on the type of package and PC board layout as shown in Table 1. The SPX1202 features the internal thermal limiting to protect the device during overload conditions. Special care needs to be taken during continuous load conditions such that the maximum junction temperature does not exceed 125C. Thermal protection is activated at >144C and deactiviated at
