MP8801
Low Dropout
150mA Linear Regulator
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP8801 is a low-noise, low-dropout linear
regulator. It operates from a 2.7V to 6.5V input
voltage and regulates the output voltage with
2% accuracy at 2.5V, 2.85V or 3.3V. The
internally set output voltage may be overridden
with an external resistor divider from 1.25V to
5V.
The MP8801 can supply up to 150mA of load
current. The MP8801 features thermal overload
protection and is available in a 5-pin TSOT23-5
package.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature T
J
(MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature
T
A
. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by P
D
(MAX) = (T

. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.

operating conditions.

Description
Power Source Input. IN supplies the internal power to the MP8801 and is the source of the
pass transistor. Bypass IN to GND with a 1μF or greater capacitor.
Ground.
Enable Input. Drive EN high to turn on the MP8801; low to turn it off. For automatic startup,
connect EN to IN.
Feedback Input. Connect a resistive voltage divider from OUT to FB to set the output
voltage. The OUT feedback threshold is 1.222V.
Regulator Output. OUT is the output of the linear regulator. Bypass OUT to GND with a
1μF or greater capacitor.
OPERATION
The MP8801 is a low-current, low-noise,
high-PSRR, low-dropout linear regulator. It is
intended for use in devices that require very low
noise power supplies and high-PSRR such as
PLL VCO supplies for mobile handsets and
802.11 PC Cards, as well as audio codecs and
microphones. The MP8801 uses a PMOS pass

element and features internal thermal shutdown.
The normally fixed output MP8801 may be
converted to an adjustable output device by
applying a resistor divider network as shown in
Figure 2. An optional feed-forward capacitor, C
BYP
,
may be added for an improved transient response.
