RT9169
100mA, 4µA Quiescent Current CMOS LDO Regulator
µ
General Description
The RT9169 series are 100mA ultra-low quiescent
current CMOS low dropout (LDO) regulator designed
for battery-powered equipments. The output voltages
range from 1.2V to 5V with 0.1V per step.
The other features include 4µA ultra-low quiescent,
low dropout voltage, high output accuracy, current
limiting protection, and high ripple rejection ratio.

Application Information
A 1µF (or larger) capacitor is recommended between
VOUT and GND for stability. The part may oscillate
without the capacitor. Any type of capacitor can be
used, but not Aluminum electrolytes when operating
below –25°C. The capacitance may be increased
without limit.
A 1µF capacitor (or larger) should be placed between
VIN to GND.
