GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP150 is an ultralow noise (9 µV), low dropout, linear
regulator that operates from 2.2 V to 5.5 V and provides up to
150 mA of output current. The low 105 mV dropout voltage at
150 mA load improves efficiency and allows operation over a
wide input voltage range.
The ADP150 is specifically designed for stable operation with
tiny 1 µF 30% ceramic input and output capacitors to meet
the requirements of high performance, space-constrained
applications.
The ADP150 is available in 14 fixed output voltage options,
ranging from 1.8 V to 3.3 V.
Using an innovative circuit topology, the ADP150 achieves ultralow
noise performance without the necessity of an additional noise
bypass capacitor, making it ideal for noise sensitive analog and
RF applications. The ADP150 also achieves ultralow noise
performance without compromising PSRR or line and load
transient performance. The ADP150 offers the best combination
of ultralow noise and quiescent current consumption to maximize
battery life in portable applications.
Short-circuit and thermal overload protection circuits prevent
damage in adverse conditions. The ADP150 is available in tiny
5-lead TSOT and 4-ball, 0.4 mm pitch WLCSP packages for the
smallest footprint solution to meet a variety of portable power
applications.
