1A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator with
Programmable Current Limiting
ISL80121-5
Features
The ISL80121-5 is a low dropout voltage, single output LDO with
programmable current limiting. This LDO operates from input
voltages of 2.2V to 6V. The ISL80121-5 has a nominal output
voltage of 5V. Other custom voltage options are available upon
request.
• ±1.8% V
Accuracy Guaranteed Over Line, Load and

• High Accuracy Current Limit Programmable up to 1.75A
• Very Fast Transient Response
A sub-micron 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
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.

• Power Good Output
• Programmable Soft-starting
• Over-Temperature Protection
• Small 10 Ld DFN Package
This CMOS 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
