CAT6218
300 mA CMOS LDO
Regulator
Description
The CAT6218 is a 300 mA 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 150
ms.
With zero shutdown current and low ground current of 55
mA
typical, the CAT6218 is ideal for battery−operated devices with supply
voltages from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. An internal under voltage lockout circuit
disables the output at supply voltages under 2.1 V typical.
The CAT6218 offers 1% initial accuracy and low dropout voltage,
180 mV typical at 300 mA. Stable operation is provided with a small
value ceramic capacitor, reducing required board space and
component cost.
Other features include fold−back current limit and thermal
protection.
The device is available in the low profile (1 mm max height) 5−lead
thin SOT23 package.

Pin Function
VIN
is the supply pin for the LDO. A small 1
mF
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 2.3 V to 5.5 V.
EN
is the enable control logic (active high) for the regulator
output. It has a 2.5 MW pull−down resistor, which assures
that if EN pin is left open, the circuit is disabled.
VOUT
is the LDO regulator output. A small 1
mF
ceramic
bypass capacitor is required between the V
OUT
pin and
ground for stability. For better transient response, its value
can be increased to 4.7
mF.

ESD Rating (Human Body Model)
The capacitor should be located near the device. ESR
domain is 5 mW to 500 mW. V
OUT
can deliver a maximum
guaranteed current of 300 mA. For input−to−output voltages
higher than 1 V, a continuous 300 mA output current might
turn−on the thermal protection. A 250
W
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 0.01
mF
capacitor can be connected between BYP pin and GND to
reduce the output noise and enhance the PSRR at high
frequency.
