NCP160
250 mA, Ultra-Low Noise
and High PSRR LDO
Regulator for RF and
Analog Circuits
The NCP160 is a linear regulator capable of supplying 250 mA
output current. Designed to meet the requirements of RF and analog
circuits, the NCP160 device provides low noise, high PSRR, low
quiescent current, and very good load/line transients. The device is
designed to work with a 1
mF
input and a 1
mF
output ceramic
capacitor. It is available in two thickness ultra−small 0.35P, 0.65 mm x
0.65 mm Chip Scale Package (CSP) and XDFN−4 0.65P, 1 mm x
1 mm.

Product parametric performance is indicated in the Electrical Characteristics for the listed test conditions, unless otherwise noted. Product
performance may not be indicated by the Electrical Characteristics if operated under different conditions.
4. Performance guaranteed over the indicated operating temperature range by design and/or characterization. Production tested at T
A
= 25°C.
Low duty cycle pulse techniques are used during the testing to maintain the junction temperature as close to ambient as possible.
5. Dropout voltage is characterized when V
