General Description
The HE2240 ultra-low quiescent current regulator features low dropout voltage and low current in the
standby mode. With less than 1.4μA quiescent current at no load, the HE2240 is ideally suited for
standby micro-control-unit systems, especially for always-on applications like E-meters, fire alarms,
smoke detectors and other battery operated systems. The HE2240 retains all of the features that are
common to low dropout regulators including a low dropout PMOS pass device, short circuit protection,
and thermal shutdown. The device is available in fixed output voltages of 3.0,3.3,3.6,4.0 and 5.0V.The
device features integrated short-circuit and thermal shutdown protection.Although designed primarily
as fixed voltage regulators, the device can be used with external components to obtain variable
voltages.

Layout Consideration
By placing input and output capacitors on the same side of the PCB as the LDO, and placing them as
close as is practical to the package can achieve the best performance. The ground connections for
input and output capacitors must be back to the HE2240 ground pin using as wide and as short of a
copper trace as is practical.Connections using long trace lengths, narrow trace widths, and/or
connections through via must be avoided. These add parasitic inductances and resistance that
results in worse performance especially during transient conditions.

250mA Low Power LDO
Application Guideline
Input Capacitor
A 10μF ceramic capacitor is recommended to connect between VDD and GND pins to decouple input
power supply glitch and noise. The amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit. This
input capacitor must be located as close as possible to the device to assure input stability and less
noise. For PCB layout, a wide copper trace is required for both VIN and GND.
Output Capacitor
An output capacitor is required for the stability of the LDO. The recommended output capacitance is
10μF, ceramic capacitor is recommended, and temperature characteristics are X7R or X5R. Higher
capacitance values help to improve load/line transient response. The output capacitance may be
increased to keep low undershoot/overshoot. Place output capacitor as close as possible to VOUT
and GND pins.
Dropout Voltage
The dropout voltage refers to the voltage difference between the VIN and VOUT pins while operating
at specific output current. The dropout voltage VDROP also can be expressed as the voltage drop on
the pass-FET at specific output current (IRATED) while the pass-FET is fully operating at ohmic
region and the pass-FET can be characterized asan resistance RDS(ON). Thus the dropout voltage
can bedefined as (VDROP = VIN − VOUT = RDS(ON) x IRATED). Fornormal operation, the
suggested LDO operating range is (VIN > VOUT + VDROP) for good transient response and PSRR
ability. Vice versa, while operating at the ohmic region will degrade the performance severely.
Thermal Application
For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature. The maximum
power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC package, PCB layout, rate of
surrounding airflow, and difference between junction and ambient temperature. The maximum power
dissipation can be calculated as below: TA=25°C, PCB,
The max PD= (125°C − 25°C) / (Thermal Resistance °C/W)
Power dissipation (PD) is equal to the product of the output current and the voltage drop across the
output pass element, as shown in the equation below:
PD = (VIN – VOUT) × IOUT
