CAT6221
300mA CMOS Dual LDO Regulator
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
Two outputs with guaranteed 300mA peak
The 300mA CMOS Dual LDO CAT6221 combines in a
single TSOT-23 6-lead package two low dropout
regulators (LDO), each with its own enable pin.
output current
Low dropout voltages of 210mV typical at
300mA
The regulator outputs drive loads up to 300mA. By
design, the dual LDO provides fast response time
during load current and line voltage changes.
Stable with ceramic output capacitors
Independent enable pins
Under voltage lockout
Each LDO is optimized for low noise and high
crosstalk isolation. With zero shut down current and a
low quiescent current of 100μA, the dual LDO is ideal
for battery-operated devices with supply voltage from
2.3V to 5.5V.
No-load ground current of 100μA typical
Full-load ground current of 160μA typical
±1.0% output voltage initial accuracy
±2.0% accuracy over temperature
“Zero” current shutdown mode
The dual LDO offers 1% initial accuracy and very low
dropout voltage, typical 210mV at 300mA. Stable
operation is provided with small 1μF ceramic output
capacitors, reducing required board space and
component cost.
Fold-back current limit and thermal protection
TSOT-23 6-lead, 0.8mm height package
Other features include fold-back current limit and
thermal protection.
APPLICATIONS
Cellular phones
The dual LDO is available in the tiny 6-lead TSOT-23
package with a maximum height of 0.8mm.
