8181
LOW-DROPOUT, 5 V REGULATOR
— HIGH EFFICIENCY
ment such as cellular telephones, the A8181SLB low dropout voltage
regulator provides high efficiency for maximum battery life in a mini-
mum package size. Equally applicable to camcorders and portable
computers, the device provides a fixed 5 V regulated continuous output
at almost 200 mA of load current under worst-case conditions. Under
normal operating conditions, output currents over 500 mA are
permitted.
A MOSFET pass element delivers high output current with an
input-output differential of less than 300 mV. For high efficiency, the
low dropout voltage allows a longer battery discharge before output
voltage regulation is lost. A low quiescent current, even during high
load conditions, makes the device ideal for standby power systems.
High regulator accuracy and excellent temperature characteristics are
provided by a bandgap reference. An enable input gives the designer
complete control over sequential power-up or emergency shutdown.
This device is supplied in a 16-lead wide-body, small-outline
plastic power package (SOIC) for surface-mount applications. The
copper batwing provides for maximum package power dissipation in
the smallest possible construction. The A8181SLB is rated for opera-
tion over a temperature range of -20
°
C to +85
°
C.

* Output current rating is limited by input voltage,
duty cycle, and ambient temperature. Under any
Fault conditions that produce excessive
junction temperature will activate device thermal
shutdown circuitry. These conditions can be
tolerated but should be avoided.
