CAT6243
1 Amp Adjustable CMOS
LDO Voltage Regulator
Description
The CAT6243 is a low dropout CMOS voltage regulator providing
up to 1000 mA of output current with fast response to load current and
line voltage changes. CAT6243 offers a user adjustable output voltage
from 0.8 V to 5.0 V and its low quiescent current make CAT6243 ideal
for energy conscious designs. CAT6243 is available in a DPAK−5 4
and 5 lead packages and in a space saving 3 mm x 3 mm WDFN−6
package with a power pad for heat sinking to the PCB.

Description
The Enable Input. An active HIGH input, turning ON the LDO. This input
should be tied to V
IN
if the LDO is not intended to be shut off during normal
operation. A pull−down 2.5 MW resistor maintains the circuit in the OFF
state if the pin is left open.
Power Supply Ground; Device Substrate. The center pad is internally con-
nected to Ground and as such can cause short circuits to signal traces run-
ning beneath the IC. This pad is intended for heat sinking the IC to the PCB
and is typically connected to the PCB ground plane.
Bypass input. Placing a capacitor of 100 pF to 470 pF between BYP and
ground reduces noise on V
OUT.
This capacitor is optional and it increases
the turn−on time.
Regulated Output Voltage. A protection block eliminates any current flow
from output to input if V
OUT
> V
IN
.
Output Voltage Adjust Input. This input ties to the common point of a resistor
divider which determines the regulator’s output voltage. See Applications
section for details on selecting resistor values.
Positive Power Supply Input. Supplies power for V
OUT
as well as the regu-
lator’s internal circuitry.
