300/500mA, Ultra-Fast Transient Response LDO Regulator
General Description
The RT9166/A series are CMOS low dropout
regulators optimized for ultra-fast transient response.
The devices are capable of supplying 300mA or 500mA
of output current with a dropout voltage of 230mV or
430mV respectively.
The RT9166/A’s performance is optimized for
CD/DVD-ROM, CD/RW or wireless communication
supply applications. The RT9166/A regulators are
stable with output capacitors as low as 1
μ
F. The other
features include ultra low dropout voltage, high output
accuracy, current limiting protection, and high ripple
rejection ratio.
The devices are available in fixed output voltages
range of 1.2V to 4.5V with 0.1V per step. The
RT9166/A regulators are available in 3-lead SOT-23,
SOT-89, SOT-223 and TO-92 packages.
