RT9166/A
300/600mA, Ultra-Fast Transient Response LDO Regulator
General Description
The RT9166/A series are CMOS low dropout regulators
optimized for ultra-fast transient response. The devices
are capable of supplying 300mA or 600mA of output current
with a dropout voltage of 230mV or 580mV respectively.
The RT9166/A series are is optimized for CD/DVD-ROM,
CD/RW or wireless communication supply applications.
The RT9166/A regulators are stable with output capacitors
as low as 1μF. The other features include ultra low dropout
voltage, high output accuracy, current limiting protection,
and high ripple rejection ratio.
The devices are available in fixed output voltages range of
1.2V to 4.5V with 0.1V per step. The RT9166/A regulators
are available in 3-lead SOT-23 (RT9166 only), SOT-89,
SOT-223, TO-92 and TO-252 packages.

Note: To prevent oscillation, a 1μF minimum X7R or X5R dielectric is strongly recommended if ceramics are
μ
used as input/output capacitors. When using the Y5V dielectric, the minimum value of the input/output
μ
capacitance that can be used for stable over full operating temperature range is 3.3μF. (see Application
Information Section for further details)

Note 1.
Stresses beyond those listed
“Absolute
Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured at T
A
= 25°C on a low effective thermal conductivity single-layer test board per JEDEC 51-3.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 5.
Quiescent, or ground current, is the difference between input and output currents. It is defined by I
Q
= I
IN
- I
OUT
under
no load condition (I
OUT
= 0mA). The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground
pin current.
Note 6.The
dropout voltage is defined as V
IN
−
V
OUT
, which is measured when V
OUT
is V
OUT(NORMAL)
−
100mV.
Note 7.
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature by using a 20ms current pulse. Devices are tested for load
regulation in the load range from 1mA to 300mA and 600mA respectively.
