and low dropout voltage, making them ideal for battery
powered applications. Their high PSRR make them
useful in applications where AC noise on the input
power supply must be suppressed. Space saving
USP6 package is attractive for portable and handheld
applications. They have both thermal shutdown and a
current limit feature to prevent device failure from
extreme operating conditions. They are stable with an
output capacitor of 2.2µF or greater.

300MA HIGH PSRR LOW DROPOUT CMOS LINEAR REGULATOR
FSP2134
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability
Similar to any low dropout regulator, the external capacitors used with the FSP2134 must be carefully selected for
regulator stability and performance.
Using a capacitor, C
IN
, whose value is>1μF at the FSP2134 input pin, the amount of the capacitance can be
increased without limit. Please note that the distance between C
IN
and the input pin of the FSP2134 should not
exceed 0.5 inch. Ceramic capacitors are suitable for the FSP2134. Capacitors with larger values and lower ESR
provide better PSRR and line-transient response.
The FSP2134 is designed specifically to work with low ESR ceramic output capacitors in order to save space and
improve performance. Using an output ceramic capacitor whose value is
>2.2μF
with ESR>5mΩ ensure stability.
A 10nF bypass capacitor connected to BYP pin is suggested for suppressing output noise. The capacitor, in series
connection with an internal 200kΩ resistor, forms a low-pass filter for noise reduction. Increasing the capacitance will
slightly decrease the output noise, but increase the start-up time.
Load Transient Considerations
The figure11 shows the FSP2134 load transient response. It shows two components the output response: a DC shift
from the output impedance due to the load current change and transient response. The DC shift is quite small due to
excellent load regulation of the FSP2134. The transient spike, resulting from a step change in the load current from
1mA to 300mA, is 20mV. The ESR of the output capacitor is critical to the transient spike. A larger capacitance along
with smaller ESR results in a smaller spike.
Shutdown Input Operation
The FSP2134 is shutdown by pulling the EN input low, and is turned on by tying the EN input to VIN or leaving the
EN input floating.
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
The FSP2134 features a 0.75Ω P-Channel MOSFET device as a pass transistor. The P-MOS pass transistor
enables the FSP2134 to consume only 65μA of ground current during low dropout, light load, or heavy load
operations. This feature increases the battery operation life time.
Dropout Voltage
A regulator’s minimum dropout voltage determines the lowest usable supply voltage. The FSP2134 has a typical
300mV dropout voltage. In battery powered systems, this will determine the useful end-of-life battery voltage.
Current Limit and Short Circuit Protection
The FSP2134 features a current limit, which monitors and controls the gate voltage of the pass transistor. The output
current can be limited to 400mA by regulating the gate voltage. The FSP2134 also has a built-in short circuit current
limit.
