This is preliminary information on a new product under
development. Micro Analog Systems Oy reserves the right
to make any changes without notice.
DESCRIPTION
MAS9168 LDO voltage regulator is optimized for
operation at low ground pin current: even at 50 mA
load current its ground pin current is only 40 µA.
This combined with the good overall performance
makes MAS9168 very suitable for providing
continuous supply in low power circuits. The
performance of MAS9168 benefits applications
where standby periods are long and where long
battery lifetime is essential.
In addition to the low ground pin current, MAS9168
excels in dropout voltage (220 mV typical at
150 mA). Even though MAS9168 does not use an
external bypass capacitor, the noise level
(100 Hz… 100 kHz) is only 70 µVrms with 1 µF
output capacitor.
The Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) range of
output capacitors that can be used with MAS9168
is very wide. This ESR range from zero up to a
couple of Ohms combined with no minimum output
current requirement makes the usage of MAS9168
easier and low in cost.
Enable/disable pin allows MAS9168 to be turned off
and on. In order to save power the device enters
the sleep mode when the regulator is disabled.
An internal thermal protection circuit prevents the
device from overheating. Also the maximum output
current is internally limited.
