500mA/3.3V SmartORTM
Power Regulator
CMPWR150
Features
Product Description
The CMPWR150 is a low dropout regulator that
delivers up to 500mA of load current at a fixed 3.3V
output. An internal threshold level (typically 4.1V) is
used to prevent the regulator from being operated
below dropout voltage. The device continuously
monitors the input supply and will automatically
disable the regulator when VCC falls below the
threshold level. When the regulator is disabled, the
control signal “Drive” (Active Low) is enabled, which
allows an external PMOS switch to power the load
from an auxiliary 3.3V supply.

Automatic detection of VCC input supply
Drive output logic to control external switch
Glitch-free output during supply transitions
500mA output maximum load current
Built-in hysteresis during supply selection
Controller operates from either VCC or VOUT
8-pin Power SOIC thermal package
RoHS compliant (lead-free) finishing
When VCC is restored to a level above the select
threshold, the control signal for the external PMOS
switch is disabled and the regulator is once again
enabled.
Applications
•

•
•
•
PCI adapter cards
Network Interface Cards (NICs)
Dual power systems
Systems with standby capabilities
USB powered devices such as printers,
scanners, MP3 players and Zip drives
See Application Note AP-211
All the necessary control circuitry needed to provide a
smooth and automatic transition between the
supplies has been incorporated. This allows VCC to
be dynamically switched without loss of output
voltage.

The CMPWR150 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC
thermally enhanced package which is ideal for space
critical applications. The CMPWR150 is available
with RoHS compliant lead-free finishing.
