150mA Ultra Low Dropout, Low
Noise Micropower Linear Regulator
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC5205 is a 150mA ultra low dropout linear
regulator with a built in CMOS/TTL logic level enable
switch. It is designed specifically for battery powered
applications where low quiescent current and low
dropout are critical for battery longevity.
The SC5205 uses a Semtech proprietary internal PNP
device for the pass element, providing a low dropout
voltage of 165mV at a load of 150mA, while maintaining
a ground pin current of 2750µA.
The output noise is reduced by placing a 10nF capacitor
on pin 4 (bypass).
Each device contains a bandgap reference, error
amplifier, PNP pass element, thermal and current
limiting circuitry and resistor divider network for setting
output voltage.
The SC5205 is packaged in a 5 pin SOT-23 surface mount
package for a very small footprint and it requires only a
1µF capacitor on the output and a 0.01µF on the bypass
pin for a minimum amount of external components.

IN
(C1) is needed if the device is far from the supply’s filter capacitors, or for operation from a battery. A value
of 1.0µF or greater should be used. C

improve the overall transient response.
