December 2019
Rev. 2.0.5
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
• Portable Consumer Equipment
The SPX3819 is a positive voltage regulator
with a low dropout voltage and low noise
output. In addition, this device offers a very low
ground current of 800μA at 100mA output. The
SPX3819 has an initial tolerance of less than
1% max and a logic compatible ON/OFF
switched
input.
When
disabled,
power
consumption drops to nearly zero. Other key
features include reverse battery protection,
current limit, and thermal shutdown. The
SPX3819 includes a reference bypass pin for
optimal low noise output performance. With its
very low output temperature coefficient, this
device also makes a superior low power voltage
reference.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
OPERATING RATINGS
These are stress ratings only and functional operation of
the device at these ratings or any other above those
indicated in the operation sections of the specifications
below is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods of time may affect
reliability.
Input Voltage Range VIN ................................ 2.5V to 16V
Enable Pin EN ............................................... 0.0V to VIN
Junction Temperature Range ................. -40°C to +125°C
Thermal Resistance1 .....................................................
θJA (SOT23-5)...............................................191°C/W
θJA (NSOIC-8)............................................ 128.4°C/W
θJA (DFN-8) ................................................... 59°C/W
VIN, EN ..................................................... -20V to +20V
Storage Temperature .............................. -65°C to 150°C
Junction Temperature .......................................... 150°C
Power Dissipation ................................ Internally Limited
Lead Temperature (Soldering, 5 sec) ..................... 260°C
ESD Rating (HBM - Human Body Model) .................... 1kV
Note 1: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a
function of maximum operating junction temperature,
TJ(max) the junction to ambient thermal resistance, and the
ambient θJA, and the ambient temperature TA. The
maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient
temperature is given: PD(max) = (TJ(max)-TA)/θJA, exceeding
the maximum allowable power limit will result in excessive
die temperature; thus, the regulator will go into thermal
shutdown.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications with standard type are for an Operating Junction Temperature of TJ = 25°C only; limits applying over the full
Operating Junction Temperature range are denoted by a “•”. Minimum and Maximum limits are guaranteed through test,
design, or statistical correlation. Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm at TJ = 25°C, and are provided for
reference purposes only. Unless otherwise indicated, VIN = VOUT + 1V (VIN = VOUT + 1.2V for 1.2V option), IL = 100µA, CL =

APPLICATION INFORMATION
capacitor works in most application circuits, but
the same stability often can be obtained with a
1μF tantalum electrolytic.
The SPX3819 requires an output capacitor for
device stability. Its value depends upon the
application circuit. In general, linear regulator
stability decreases with higher output currents.
In applications where the SPX3819 is sourcing
less current, a lower output capacitance may be
sufficient. For example, a regulator outputting
only 10mA, requires approximately half the
capacitance as the same regulator sourcing
150mA.
With the SPX3819 adjustable version, the
minimum value of output capacitance is a
function of the output voltage. The value
decreases with higher output voltages, since
closed loop gain is increased.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS CIRCUITS
Bench testing is the best method for
determining the proper type and value of the
capacitor
since
the
high
frequency
characteristics of electrolytic capacitors vary
widely, depending on type and manufacturer. A
high quality 2.2μF aluminum electrolytic
For fixed voltage options only. A 10nF capacitor
on the BYP pin will significantly reduce output
noise, but it may be left unconnected if the
output noise is not a major concern. The
SPX3819
start-up
speed
is
inversely
proportional to the size of the BYP capacitor.

SPX3819
500mA Low-Noise LDO Voltage Regulator
Applications requiring a slow rampup of the
output voltage should use a larger CBYP.
However, if a rapid turn-on is necessary, the
BYP capacitor can be omitted.
The SPX3819 in Figure 19 illustrates a typical
adjustable output voltage configuration. Two
resistors (R1 and R2) set the output voltage.
The output voltage is calculated using the
formula:
The SPX3819’s internal reference is available
through the BYP pin.
VOUT = 1.235V x [1 + R1/R2]
Figure 18 represents a SPX3819 standard
application circuit. The EN (enable) pin is pulled
high (>2.0V) to enable the regulator. To disable
the regulator, EN < 0.4V.
R2 must be >10kΩ and for best results, R2
should be between 22kΩ and 47kΩ.
