PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SPX8863 is a low-power positive voltage regulator with ultra low noise output and very low dropout voltage. In addition, this
device offers very low quiescent current of approximately 600uA at 100mA output. The SPX8863 initial tolerance is less than 1%
max and has a logic compatible ON/OFF switching input. The unique features of the SPX8863 include a reference bypass pin for the
best performance results of low noise.
This device is an excellent choice for use in battery powered applications such as cellular/ cordless telephones, radio control systems,
and portable computers. When disabled power consumption drops to nearly zero. The device also has a very low output temperature
coefficient, making it a low power voltage reference. The SPX8863 key features include protection against reversed battery, fold-back
current limiting, and automotive load dump protection.
The SPX8863 is available in many fixed voltages (1.8V, 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 4.0V, 4.5V, & 5.0V) or with an adjustable output.
This device is offered in a small 5-pin SOT-23 package, providing a small footprint with all the performance features with fixed or
adjustable output.

Note 1: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of maximum operating junction temperature, T
J (max)
, the junction to ambient thermal resistance, and
the ambient,
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature T
A
. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is given:
P
D (max)
= (T

- T

. Exceeding the maximum allowable power limit will result in excessive die temperature; thus, the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.

Application Hints
The SPX8863 requires an output capacitor for device stability.
The value required varies greatly depending upon the
application circuit and other factors. The high frequency
characteristics of electrolytic capacitors depend greatly on the
type and also on the manufacturer. Sometimes bench testing is
the only means to determine the proper capacitor type and
value. The high quality 2.2µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor
covers all general application circuits, this stability can be
obtained with a tantalum electrolytic value of 1µF.
In general, linear regulator stability decreases with higher
output currents. In some applications the SPX8863 may
operate at few milliamps. In these applications the output
capacitance can be further reduced. For example, when the
regulator is running at 10mA output current the output
capacitance value is half compared to the same regulator
that is running at 150mA.
With the SPX8863 adjustable regulator, the minimum value
of output capacitance is a function of the output voltage.
The value decreases with higher output voltages, since the
closed loop gain is increased.
Typical Applications Circuits
The SPX8863 provides access to the internal reference. A 10µF capacitor on the BYP pin will provide a significant reduction in
output noise. This pin may be left unconnected if the output noise is not a major concern. The SPX8863 start-up speed is inversely
proportional to the size of its capacitor. Applications requiring a slow ramp-up of output voltage should consider larger values of
C
BYP
. If the rapid turn-ON is necessary, omit bypass capacitor.
Figure 1 shows SPX8863 standard application circuit. The EN (enable) pin is pulled high (>2.0V) to enable the regulator. To disable
the regulator, EN < 0.6V.

The SPX8863 in figure 2 shows adjustable output voltage configuration. Two resistors set the output voltage. The formula for output
voltage is:

Resistor values are not critical as the Adj. pin has high input impedance, for best results use resistors of 47kΩ or less. A capacitor for
Adj to ground will provide improved noise performance.
