DESCRIPTION
The CAT6217 is a 150mA CMOS low dropout
regulator that provides fast response time during load
current and line voltage changes.
The quick-start feature allows the use of an external
bypass capacitor to reduce the overall output noise
without affecting the turn-on time of just 150μs.
With zero shutdown current and low ground current of
55μA typical, the CAT6217 is ideal for battery-
operated devices with supply voltages from 2.3V to
5.5V. An internal under voltage lockout circuit disables
the output at supply voltages under 2.1V typical.
The CAT6217 offers 1% initial accuracy and low
dropout voltage, 90mV typical at 150mA. Stable
operation is provided with a 1μF ceramic capacitor,
reducing required board space and component cost.
Other features include output short-circuit current limit
and thermal protection.
The device is available in the low profile (1mm max
height) 5-lead TSOT-23 package.

PIN FUNCTION
VIN
is the supply pin for the LDO. A small 1μF
ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the V
IN
pin and ground near the device. When using longer
connections to the power supply, C
IN
value can be
increased without limit. The operating input voltage
range is from 2.3V to 5.5V.
EN
is the enable control logic (active high) for the regulator
output. It has a 2.5MΩ pull-down resistor, which
assures that if EN pin is left open, the circuit is disabled.
VOUT
is the LDO regulator output. A small 1μF
ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the V
OUT
pin and ground for stability. For better transient
response, its value can be increased to 4.7μF.
The capacitor should be located near the device. ESR
domain is 5mΩ to 500mΩ. V
OUT
can deliver a
maximum guaranteed current of 150mA. A 250Ω
internal shutdown switch discharges the output
capacitor in the no-load condition.
GND
is the ground reference for the LDO. The pin
must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB.
BYP
is the reference bypass pin. An optional 0.01μF
capacitor can be connected between BYP pin and
GND to reduce the output noise and enhance the
PSRR at high frequency.
