PSRR
The MP2040 is a very low dropout, dual supply
linear regulator. The use of two supplies allows
the BIAS to control an NMOS device. The
NMOS device supplies power to the load via
the IN. In this way the input supply can be just
above the desired output, yet still provide very
good regulation performance due to the higher
bias supply. The BIAS operates from a 3.3V to
5.5V input and regulates the output voltage to
as low as 0.9V, and as high as 3.3V.

Better Than 0.001%/mA Load Regulation
Stable With Low-ESR Output Capacitors
Internal Thermal Protection
Current Limit Protection
0.1µA Typical Quiescent Current at
Shutdown
The MP2040 can supply up to 3A of load
current with a typical dropout voltage of 150mV.
The BIAS runs the internal reference and drive
circuitry, while the output current comes directly
from the IN for high efficiency regulation.

Power Good Indicator
Other features of MP2040 include thermal
overload and current limit protection, power
good indicator, stability with ultra low ESR
ceramic capacitors as low as 1uF, and fast
transient response. The MP2040 is available in
10-pin QFN (3mm x 3mm), and in QFN (5mm x
5mm) packages.
