OUTLINE
LOW DROP-OUT AND LOW NOISE
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
RN5RZ SERIES
OUTLINE
The RN5RZ Series are voltage regulator ICs with high output voltage accuracy, low supply current, low dropout
voltage and high ripple rejection developed through the use of a CMOS process. Each of these voltage regulator
ICs consists of a voltage reference unit, an error amplifier, output voltage setting resistors, a current limit circuit and
a chip enable circuit. (Provided two types of chip enable circuit ; “H” active and “L” active, that can be selected when
order.)
The output voltage of these ICs is fixed with high accuracy.
In addition to low supply current from CMOS process, the RN5RZ Series may lengthen battery life through low
dropout voltage and chip enable function thanks to the built-in low ON resistance transistor. Also when compared
with conventional regulators that employ CMOS process, these ICs have superior ripple rejection, input transient
response characteristic and load transient response characteristic thus making these product suitable for power sup-
ply for hand-held communication equipment.
Since the package for these ICs is the SOT-23-5 package, high density mounting of the ICs on boards is possible.
FEATURES
• Ultra-Low Supply Current ...........................................TYP. 20µA
• Ultra-Low Supply Current (Standby).........................TYP. 0.1µA
• High Accuracy Output Voltage ..................................±2.0%
• High Ripple Rejection .................................................TYP.55dB (f=1kHz)
• Low Dropout Voltage ..................................................TYP. 0.2V (I
OUT
=60mA)
• Low Temperature-Drift Coefficient of Output Voltage........TYP. ±100ppm/˚C
• Excellent Line Regulation ...........................................TYP. 0.05%/V
• Output Voltage .............................................................Stepwise setting with a step of 0.1V in the range of 2.0V to 6.0V
is possible (refer to Selection Guide).
• Built-in Short Current Limit Circuit ...........................TYP. 50mA
• Small Package ..............................................................SOT-23-5 (Mini-mold)
APPLICATIONS
• Power source for battery-powered equipment.
• Power source for cellular phones, cameras, VCRs, camcorders, hand-held audio instruments and hand-held com-
munication equipment.
• Power source for domestic appliances.
