RT9013A
120mA, Low Dropout, Low Noise Ultra-Fast Without
Bypass Capacitor CMOS LDO Regulator
General Description
The RT9013A is a high-performance, 120mA LDO regulator,
offering extremely high PSRR and ultra-low dropout. The
chip is ideal for portable RF and wireless applications with
demanding performance and space requirements.
The RT9013A provides quiescent current to be as low as
25uA to extend the battery life. The RT9013A also works
with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, reducing the amount of
board space necessary for power applications, especially
for hand-held wireless devices.
The RT9013A consumes typical 0.7uA in shutdown mode
and has fast turn-on time less than 40us. The other features
include ultra-low dropout voltage, high output accuracy,
current limiting protection, and high ripple rejection ratio.
Available in the SC-70-5 and SC-82 packages.

Note 1.
Stresses listed as the above
“Absolute
Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for
stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational
sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
remain possibility to affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured in the natural convection at T
A
= 25°C on a low effective thermal conductivity test board of JEDEC 51-3
thermal measurement standard.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 5.
Quiescent, or ground current, is the difference between input and output currents. It is defined by I
Q
= I
IN
- I
OUT
under no
load condition (I
OUT
= 0mA). The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin
current.
Note 6.
The dropout voltage is defined as V
IN
-V
OUT
, which is measured when V
OUT
is V
OUT(NORMAL)
- 100mV.
Note 7.
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature by using a 2ms current pulse. Devices are tested for load
regulation in the load range from 10mA to 120mA.
