FP6186A
600mA Low Noise LDO with
Adjustable Output Function
Description
Features
The FP6186A is a family of CMOS low dropout (LDO)
regulators with a low dropout voltage of 400mV at
600mA designed for noise-sensitive portable device,
RF and wireless applications. Quiescent current of
FP6186A is as low as 60μA and it works with low-ESR
ceramic capacitors, which makes it very suitable for
space sensitive handheld applications. The soft-start

and the output discharge function will dissipate the
residue output voltage in the capacitor during
shut-down.
Other features include current limit, thermal protection,
high output accuracy, and low noise output etc..

FP6186A
Applications Information
The FP6186A is a low-noise, low-dropout,
low-quiescent current linear regulator designed for
space-restricted applications. These devices can
supply loads up to 600mA. As shown in the block
diagram, the FP6186A consists of a highly accurate
band gap core, noise bypass circuit, error amplifier,
P-channel pass transistor, soft start, fast discharge
and an internal feedback voltage divider. The band
gap reference is connected to the error amplifier’s
inverting input. The error amplifier compares this
reference with the feedback voltage and amplifies
the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than
the reference voltage, the pass transistor gate will be
pulled low. This allows more current to pass to the
output and increases the output voltage. If the
feedback voltage is too high, the pass transistor gate
will be pulled high, allowing less current to pass to
the output. The output voltage is feedback through
an internal resistor voltage divider connected to the
VOUT pin. Additional blocks include a current limit,
over temperature protection and shutdown logic.
Besides, current limit and on chip thermal shutdown
features provide protection against any combination
of over-load or ambient temperature that could cause
junction temperature exceeding maximum rating.
Output and Input Capacitor
The FP6186A regulator is designed to be stable with
a wide range of output capacitors. The ESR of the
output capacitor affects stability. Larger value of the
output capacitor decreases the peak deviations and
improves transition response for larger current
changes.
The capacitor types (aluminum, ceramic and
tantalum) have different characterizations, such as
temperature and voltage coefficients. All ceramic
capacitors were manufactured with a variety of
dielectrics, each with different behavior across
temperature and applications. Common dielectrics
used are X5R, X7R and Y5V. It is recommended to
use 1.0µF to 4.7µF X5R or X7R dielectric ceramic
capacitors with 10mΩ to 30mΩ ESR range between
device outputs to ground for transient stability. The
FP6186A is designed to be stable with low ESR
ceramic capacitors and higher values of capacitors,
and ESR could improve output stability. The ESR of
output capacitor is very important because it
generates a zero to provide phase lead for loop
stability.
Current Limit
The FP6186A includes a current limit. It monitors
the output current and controls the pass
transistor’s gate voltage to limit the output current
under 800mA. The output can be shorted to
ground for an indefinite amount of time without
damaging the part.
Quick Discharge
The FP6186A has built-in a quick discharge
circuitry to protect system function correct
operation. This discharge block discharges output
capacitor quickly to avoid low output voltage level
to affect system’s MCU abnormal work when IC is
power off or enable pin pulls down.
Dropout Voltage
The minimum dropout voltage of LDO determines
the
lowest
usable
supply
voltage.
In
battery-powered systems, this determines the
useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the
FP6186A uses a P-channel MOSFET pass
transistor, its dropout voltage is a function of
drain-to-source on resistance (RDS-ON) multiplied by
the load current.
Over Temperature Protection
Over temperature protection limits total power
dissipation in the FP6186A. When the junction
temperature exceeds 145C, the thermal sensor
will signal the shutdown logic and turn off the pass
transistor. The thermal sensor will turn the pass
transistor on again after the IC’s junction
temperature drops 25C, resulting in a pulsed
output
during
continuous
thermal-overload
conditions.
Thermal Consideration
The power handling capability of the device will be
limited by maximum 125C operation junction
temperature. The power dissipated by the device
will be estimated by PD = IOUT (VIN-VOUT). The
power dissipation should be lower than the
maximum power dissipation listed in “Absolute
Maximum Ratings” section.
There is no requirement for the ESR on the input
capacitor, but its voltage and temperature coefficient
have to be considered for device application
environment.

Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage of regulator is determined by
connecting external resistor dividers. The external
resistor divider connects with FB pin. The output
voltage is determined by the following equation:

Active/Shutdown Input Operation
The FP6186A is turned off by pulling the EN pin low
and turned on by pulling it high. The enable input is
TTL/CMOS compatible threshold for simple logic
interfacing. If this feature is not used, the EN pin
should be connected to VIN to keep the regulator
output operating normally. It will become shutdown
with this pin floating because EN pin has built-in a
pull down resistor (refer to Block Diagram).
