DESCRIPTION
The TJ4230 series of high performance ultra-low dropout
linear regulators operates from 2.5V to 6V input supply and
provides ultra-low dropout voltage, high output current with
low ground current. Wide range of preset output voltage
options are available. These ultra-low dropout linear
regulators respond fast to step changes in load which
makes them suitable for low voltage micro-processor
applications. The TJ4230 is developed on a CMOS process
technology which allows low quiescent current operation
independent of output load current. This CMOS process
also allows the TJ4230 to operate under extremely low
dropout conditions.

* TJ4230 can deliver a continuous current of 3A over the full operating temperature. However, the output current is
limited by the restriction of power dissipation which differs from packages. A heat sink may be required depending on
the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of application. With respect to the applied
package, the maximum output current of 3A may be still undeliverable.
* See Application Information.

Note 1. Stresses listed as the absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for stress ratings. Functional
operating 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 for extended periods may remain possibly to affect device reliability.
Note 2. The minimum operating value for input voltage is equal to either (V
OUT,NOM
+ V
DROP
) or 2.5V, whichever is greater.
Note 3. Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the input line voltage.
Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in load current.
Note 4. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature by using a 10ms current pulse. Devices are tested for load regulation in the
load range from 10mA to 3A.
Note 5. Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output drops 2% below the nominal value.
Dropout voltage specification applies only to output voltages of 2.5V and above. For output voltages below 2.5V, the dropout voltage is
nothing but the input to output differential, since the minimum input voltage is 2.5V
Note 6. Ground current, or quiescent current, is the difference between input and output currents. It's defined by I
GND1
= I
IN
- I
OUT
under the
given loading condition. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current.
Note 7. Ground current, or standby current, is the input current drawn by a regulator when the output voltage is disabled by an enable signal.
