DESCRIPTION
The SP6203/6205 are ultra low noise CMOS LDOs with very low dropout and ground current. The noise
performance is achieved by means of an external bypass capacitor without sacrificing turn-on and turn-off
speed critical to portable applications. Extremely stable and easy to use, these devices offer excellent PSRR
and Line/Load regulation. Target applications include battery-powered equipment such as portable and
wireless products. Regulators' ground current increases only slightly in dropout. Fast turn-on/turn-off enable
control and an internal 30Ω pull down on output allows quick discharge of output even under no load
conditions. Both LDOs are protected with current limit and thermal shutdown.
Both LDOs are available in fixed & adjustable output voltage versions and come in an industry standard
SOT-23 5-pin and small 2X3 8pin DFN packages. For SC-70 100mA CMOS LDO, SP6213 is available.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS NOTES
Note 1:
Maximum power dissipation can be calculated using the formula:
P
D
= (T
J(max)
- T
A
) /
θ
JA
, where T
J(max)
is
the junction temperature, T
A
is the ambient temperature and
θ
JA
is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
θ
JC
is 6°C/W for this package. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die
temperature and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown mode.
θ
JA
is
191
°
C/W
for SOT-23-5, and is
59
°
C/W
for the 8-pin DFN. A part mounted on a PC board will deliver improved thermal performance based upon copper
surface area.
Note 2:
Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total
temperature range.
Note 3:
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Changes in
output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Note 4:
Dropout-voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its
nominal value measured at 1V differential.
Note 5:
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of
the load current plus the ground pin current.
Note 6:
Output noise voltage is defined within a certain bandwidth, namely 10Hz < BW < 100kHz. An external
bypass cap (10nF) from reference output (BYP pin) to ground significantly reduces noise at output.
Note 7:
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time “t” after a change in power
dissipation is applied, excluding load and line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 300mA load pulse at V
IN
=
6V for t = 1ms.
Note 8:
The wake-up time (T
WU
) is defined as the time it takes for the output to start rising after enable is brought
high.
Note 9:
The total turn-on time is called the settling time (T
S
), which is defined as the condition when both the
output and the bypass node are within 2% of their fully enabled values when released from shutdown.
Note 10:
For output voltage versions requiring VIN to be lower than 4V, timing (T
ON
& T
OFF
) increases slightly.
