1A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator with Programmable Current Limiting
The ISL80121-5 is a low dropout voltage, single output LDO
Features
with programmable current limiting. The ISL80121-5 operates
• ±1.8% V
accuracy guaranteed over line, load and
T = -40°C to +125°C
from input voltages of 5V to 6V with a nominal output voltage
of 5V. Other custom voltage options are available upon
request.

• Very low 130mV dropout voltage
A submicron BiCMOS process is utilized for this product family
to deliver the best in class analog performance and overall
value. The programmable current limiting improves system
reliability of end applications. An external capacitor on the
soft-start pin provides an adjustable soft-starting ramp. The
ENABLE feature allows the part to be placed into a low
quiescent current shutdown mode.
• High accuracy current limit programmable up to 1.75A
• Very fast transient response
• 210µV
output noise
RMS
• Power-good output
• Programmable soft-start
• Over-temperature protection
• Small 10 Ld DFN package
This BiCMOS LDO will consume significantly lower quiescent
current as a function of load compared to bipolar LDOs, which
translates into higher efficiency and packages with smaller
footprints. Quiescent current is modestly compromised to
achieve a very fast load transient response.
Applications
• USB devices
• Telecommunications and networking
• Medical equipment
• Instrumentation systems
• Routers and switchers
• Gaming
