SOT-23-6
The SmartOR CM3151 is a low dropout regulator
that delivers up to 500mA of load current in the
MSOP-8 package at a fixed 3.3V output. Continuous
output current is only limited by the package and the
layout (150mA max current in the SOT-23-6
package). An internal threshold level (typically 3.9V)
is used to prevent the regulator from being operated
below dropout voltage. The device continuously
monitors the input supply and will automatically
disable the regulator when V
IN
falls below the
threshold level. When the regulator is disabled, the
control signal “Drive” (Active Low) is enabled, which
allows an external PMOS switch to power the load
from a battery. When Vin is not present, the device
only draws less than 1 A from the output preventing
from discharging the battery.
When V
IN
is restored to a level above the select
threshold, the control signal for the external PMOS
switch is disabled and the regulator is once again
enabled.
The Enable input allows to shutdown the regulator
as well as sets the Drive signal “High” disabling the
external PMOS switch.
The CM3151 is available in an 8-pin MSOP
thermally enhanced package, or 6-pin SOT23 ideal
for space critical applications.

Note 1: The SOIC package used is thermally enhanced through the use of a fused integral leadframe. The power rating is based on a printed
circuit board heat spreading capability equivalent to 2 square inches of copper connected to the GND pins. Typical multi-layer boards using
power plane construction will provide this heat spreading ability without the need for additional dedicated copper area. (Please consult with
factory for thermal evaluation assistance)
Note 2: The hysteresis defines the maximum level of acceptable disturbance on V
CC
during switching. It is recommended that the V
CC
source
impedance be kept below 0.25 to ensure the switching disturbance remains below the hysteresis during select/deselect transitions. An
input capacitor may be required to help minimize the switching transient.
Note 3: Ground pin current consists of controller current and regulator current if enabled. The controller always draws current from either V
CC
or
V
OUT
, whichever is greater. All regulator current is supplied exclusively from V
CC
.

Interface Signals
V
CC
is the power source for the internal regulator
and is monitored continuously by an internal
controller circuit.
Whenever V
CC
exceeds V
CCSEL
(4.30V typically), the
internal regulator will be enabled and deliver a fixed
3.3V at V
OUT
. When V
CC
falls below V
CCDES
(3.90V
typically) the regulator will be disabled.
During a V
CC
power up sequence, there will be an
effective step increase in V
CC
line current when the
regulator is enabled. The amplitude of this step
increase will depend on the dc load current and any
necessary current required for charging/discharging
the load capacitance. This line current transient will
cause a voltage disturbance at the V
CC
pin. The
magnitude of the disturbance will be directly
proportional to the effective power supply source
impedance being delivered to the V
CC
input.
To prevent chatter during Select and Deselect
transitions, a built-in hysteresis voltage of 250mV
has been incorporated. It is recommended that the
power supply connected to the V
CC
input should
have a source resistance of less than 0.5 to
minimize the event of chatter during the
enabling/disabling of the regulator.
An input filter capacitor in close proximity to the V
CC
pin will reduce the effective source impedance and
help minimize any disturbances. If the V
CC
pin is
within a few inches of the main input filter, a
capacitor may not be necessary. Otherwise an
input filter capacitor in the range of 1uF to 10uF will
ensure adequate filtering.
CM3151
V
OUT
is the regulator output voltage connection
used to power the load. An output capacitor of ten
microfarads is used to provide the necessary phase
compensation, thereby preventing oscillation. The
capacitor also helps to minimize the peak output
disturbance during power supply changeover.
When V
CC
falls below V
OUT
, then V
OUT
will be used to
provide the necessary quiescent current for the
internal reference circuits. This ensures excellent
start-up characteristics for the regulator.
GND
is the negative reference for all voltages.

Drive
is an active LOW logic output intended to be
used as the control signal for driving an external
PFET whenever the regulator is disabled. This
allows the voltage at V
OUT
to be powered from an
auxiliary supply voltage (3.3V).
The Drive pin is pulled High to V
CC
whenever the
regulator is enabled, this ensures the auxiliary
remains isolated during normal regulator operation.
EN
is the enable input. When set to a logic High, the
regulator is enabled. When set to a logic Low, the
regulator is disabled and the Drive signal is set to a
high level, which turns off the external PFET switch.
Therefore when Enable is set low (disabled mode),
both the regulator and the switch are turned off.
In
BYP
is the bypass capacitor input pin. This pin is
only available in the SOT23-6 package version. It
allows to connect an external capacitor (typically
10nF) to further reduce the noise on the regulator
output.
