GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1 Adj means adjustable.
The ADP7156 is a linear regulator that operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V
and provides up to 1.2 A of output current. Using an advanced
proprietary architecture, it provides high power supply rejection
and ultralow noise, achieving excellent line and load transient
response with only a 10 μF ceramic output capacitor.

There are 16 standard output voltages for the ADP7156. The
following voltages are available from stock: 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.0 V,
2.5 V, 2.8 V, 3.0 V and 3.3 V. Additional voltages available by
special order are 1.3 V, 1.5 V, 1.6 V, 2.2 V, 2.6 V, 2.7 V, 2.9 V,
3.1 V, and 3.2 V.
The ADP7156 regulator typical output noise is 0.9 ꢀV rms
from 100 Hz to 100 kHz and 1.7 nV/√Hz for noise spectral
density from 10 kHz to 1 MHz. The ADP7156 is available in a
10-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP and 8-lead SOIC packages,
making it not only a very compact solution, but also providing
excellent thermal performance for applications requiring up to
1.2 A of output current in a small, low profile footprint.
