RT9030A
300mA, Low Input Voltage, Low Dropout, Low Noise Ultra-
Fast Without Bypass Capacitor CMOS LDO Regulator
General Description
The RT9030A is a high-performance, 300mA LDO regulator,
offering extremely high PSRR and ultra-low dropout. Ideal
for portable RF and wireless applications with demanding
performance and space requirements.
The RT9030A quiescent current as low as 25μA further
prolongs the battery life. The RT9030A also works with
low ESR ceramic capacitors, reducing the amount of board
space necessary for power applications, critical in hand-
held wireless devices.
The RT9030A consumes typical 0.7μA in shutdown mode
and has fast turn-on time less than 40μs. The other features
include ultra-low dropout voltage, high output accuracy,
current limiting protection and high ripple rejection ratio.
Features
Wide Operating Voltage Range : 1.5V to 5.5V
Output Voltage Range : 1V to 3.3V
Low Dropout : 300mV at 300mA

Note 1.
Stresses beyond those listed
“Absolute
Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and 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 may
affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured at T
A
= 25°C on a low effective thermal conductivity single-layer test board per JEDEC 51-3.
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.
