3 Description

The TL5209 device is 500-mA low-dropout (LDO)

regulator that is well suited for portable applications. It has a lower quiescent current than most traditional

PNP regulators and allows for a shutdown current of

0.05 μA (typical). The TL5209 also has very good

dropout voltage characteristics, requiring a maximum

dropout of 10 mV at light loads and 500 mV at full load. In addition, the LDO also has a 1% output

voltage accuracy and very tight line and load

regulation that is comparable to its CMOS

counterparts.

For noise-sensitive applications, the TL5209 allows

for low-noise capability through an external bypass capacitor connected to the BYP pin, which reduces

the output noise of the regulator. Other features

include current limiting, thermal shutdown, reverse•

battery protection, and low temperature coefficient.

The TL5209 is available with adjustable output.

Offered in an SOIC-8 surface-mount package, the

TL5209 is characterized for operation over the virtual junction temperature ranges of –40°C to 125°C.
