voltage, output noise and ground current (750μA at 100mA). VOUT has
a tolerance of less than 1% and is temperature compensated. Fixed
output voltages 1.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, and 5.0V and an adjustable version
are available in a small 5-pin SOT-23 package. Other key features
include zero off-mode current, reverse battery protection, thermal

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
ѳJA, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is given: PD(max) = (TJ(max) - TA) / ѳJA, exceeding the
maximum allowable power limit will result in excessive die temperature; thus, the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The ѳJA of the SPX5205 is 220°C/W mounted on
a PC board.
2. Not applicable to output voltages of less than 2V.

SPX5205
Application Information
The SPX5205 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 SPX5205 is
putting out less current, a lower output capacitance may
be sufficient. For example, a regulator sourcing only 10mA,
requires approximately half the capacitance as the same
regulator sourcing 150mA.
Typical Applications Circuits
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 SPX5205 start-up speed
is inversely proportional to the size of the BYP capacitor.
Applications requiring a slow ramp-up of the output voltage
should use a larger CBYP. However, if a rapid turn-on is
necessary, the BYP capacitor can be omitted.
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 capacitor works in most application
circuits, but the same stability often can be obtained with a
1μF tantalum electrolytic.
The SPX5205’s internal reference is available through the
BYP pin.
With the SPX5205 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.
The Typical Application Circuit shown on page 1 represents
a SPX5205 standard application circuit. The EN (enable)
pin is pulled high (>2.0V) to enable the regulator. To disable
the regulator, EN < 0.4V.
The SPX5205 in Figure 13 illustrates a typical adjustable
output voltage configuration. Two resistors (R1 and R2) set
the output voltage. The output voltage is calculated using
the formula:
VOUT = 1.235V x (1 + R1/R2)
R2 must be >10 kΩ, and for best results, R2 should be
between 22 kΩ and 47kΩ.
