FAN2512, FAN2513
150 mA CMOS LDO Regulators with Fast Start Enable
wide variety of external capacitors, and the compact SOT23-5
surface-mount package. In addition, the FAN2512/13 family
offer the fast power-cycle time required in CDMA handset
applications. These products offer significant improvements
over older BiCMOS designs and are pin-compatible with
many popular devices. The output is thermally protected
Features
• Ultra Low Power Consumption
• Enable optimized for CDMA time phases
• 150 mV dropout voltage at 150 mA
• 25 µA ground current at 150 mA
• Enable/Shutdown Control
against overload.
• SOT23-5 package
• Thermal limiting
• 300 mA peak current
The FAN2512 and FAN2513 devices are distinguished by
the assignment of pin 4:
FAN2512: pin 4 – ADJ, allowing the user to adjust the
output voltage over a wide range using an external voltage
divider.
Applications
• Cellular Phones and accessories
• PDAs
• Portable cameras and video recorders
FAN2512-XX: pin 4 – BYP, to which a bypass capacitor
• Laptop, notebook and palmtop computers
may be connected for optimal noise performance. Output
voltage is fixed, indicated by the suffix XX.
Description
The FAN2512/13 family of micropower low-dropout voltage
regulators utilize CMOS technology to offer a new level of
cost-effective performance in GSM, TDMA, and CDMA
FAN2513-XX: pin 4 – ERR, a flag which indicates that the
output voltage has dropped below the specified minimum
due to a fault condition.
cellular handsets, Laptop and Notebook portable computers,
The standard fixed output voltages available are 2.5V, 2.6V,
and other portable devices. Features include extremely low
