5. The products listed in this document are intended and designed for use as general electronic components in
standard applications (office equipment, computer equipment, measuring instruments, consumer electronic
products, amusement equipment etc.). Those customers intending to use a product in an application requiring
extreme quality and reliability, for example, in a highly specific application where the failure or misoperation of
the product could result in human injury or death (aircraft, spacevehicle, nuclear reactor control system, traffic
control system, automotive and transportation equipment, combustion equipment, safety devices, life support
system etc.) should first contact us.
6. We are making our continuous effort to improve the quality and reliability of our products, but semiconductor
products are likely to fail with certain probability. In order prevent any injury to persons or damages to property
resulting from such failure, customers should be careful enough to incorporate safety measures in their design,
such as redundancy feature, fire-containment feature and fail-safe feature. We do not assume any liability or
responsibility for any loss or damage arising from misuse or inappropriate use of the products.
7. Anti-radiation design is not implemented in the products described in this application manual.
8. Please contact Ricoh sales representatives should you have any questions or comments concerning the
products or the technical information.

LOW RIPPLE VOLTAGE REGULATOR
WITH EXTERNAL TRANSISTOR
RN5RF SERIES
OUTLINE
The RN5RF Series are voltage regulator ICs which control external driver transistors with high ripple rejection, high accu-
racy output voltage, low supply current by CMOS process. Each of these voltage regulator ICs consists of a voltage refer-
ence unit, an error amplifier, output voltage setting resistor, short circuit current limiting circuit and chip enable circuit.
These ICs are suitable for constructing regulators with ultra low dropout voltage and an output current in the range of sev-
eral tens of mA and several hundreds mA. In addition to low supply current by CMOS process, chip enable function can
be used to conserve battery life during standby.
Furthermore, a supreme ripple rejection and a transient response are suited for portable communicatior such as cell
phones, PDAs, walky talkies. SOT23-5 (Mini Mold) package is available.
FEATURES
• Ultra Low Supply Current .....................TYP. 30µA
• Standby Mode ........................................TYP. 0.1µA
• High Accuracy Output Voltage ............±2.0%
• High Ripple Rejection ............................TYP. 60dB/f=1kHz
• Low Dropout Voltage.............................TYP. 0.1V/I
OUT
=100mA, dependent on External Tr.
• Low Temperature Drift .........................TYP. ±100ppm/˚C
• High Line Regulation.............................TYP. 0.05%/V
• Output Voltage .......................................Stepwise setting with a step of 0.1V in the range of 2.0V to 6.0V
• Current Limit for external Tr................TYP. 8mA, Limit a base current
APPLICATIONS
• Power source for battery-powered equipment
• Telecommunications, Cameras, VCRs
• Power source for domestic appliances
