DATASHEET
ISL9021A
250mA Single LDO with Low I
Q
, Low Noise and High PSRR LDO
The ISL9021A is a single LDO, which provides high
performance, low input voltage and high PSRR. It delivers
guaranteed continuous 250mA load current and is stable with
1µF to 4.7µF of output capacitance (±30%) with an ESR range
of 5m to 400m.
The input voltage range for the ISL9021A is between 1.5V to
5.5V and the output voltage comes in many fixed voltage
options with ±1.8% accuracy over-temperature, line and load
ranges. The ISL9021A has typical PSRR of 75dB @ 10kHz and
50dB @ 1MHz.
The reverse current protection feature prevents current from
flowing back to the power source when the output voltage is
pulled higher than the input.
The ISL9021A is offered in tiny 4-bump 0.975mmx1.155mm
WLCSP and 1.6mmx1.6mm 6 Ld µTDFN packages.
