DATASHEET
ISL80121-5
1A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator with Programmable Current Limiting
The
ISL80121-5
is a low dropout voltage, single output LDO
with programmable current limiting. The ISL80121-5 operates
from input voltages of 5V to 6V with a nominal output voltage
of 5V. Other custom voltage options are available upon
request.
A submicron BiCMOS process is utilized for this product family
to deliver the best in class analog performance and overall
value. The programmable current limiting improves system
reliability of end applications. An external capacitor on the
soft-start pin provides an adjustable soft-starting ramp. The
ENABLE feature allows the part to be placed into a low
quiescent current shutdown mode.
This BiCMOS LDO will consume significantly lower quiescent
current as a function of load compared to bipolar LDOs, which
translates into higher efficiency and packages with smaller
footprints. Quiescent current is modestly compromised to
achieve a very fast load transient response.

NOTES:
1. Add “-T*” suffix for tape and reel. Please refer to
TB347
for details on reel specifications.
2. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and 100% matte
tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations). Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.

DESCRIPTION
Output voltage. A minimum 10µF X5R/X7R output capacitor is required for stability. See
“External Capacitor
Requirements” on page 9
for more details.
Remote voltage sense for internally fixed V
OUT
options. Parasitic resistance between the V
OUT
pin and the load
causes small voltage drops, which degrade V
OUT
accuracy. For applications that require a stiff V
OUT
, connect the
sense pin to the load.
V
OUT
in regulation signal. Logic low indicates V
OUT
is not in regulation, and must be grounded if not used.
Ground.
External capacitor adjusts inrush current.
V
IN
-independent chip enable. TTL and CMOS compatible.
Current limit setting. Current limit is 0.75A when this pin is left floating. This default value can be increased by
tying R
SET
to GND, or decreased by tying R
SET
to V
IN
. See
“Programmable Current Limit” on page 8
for more
details. Do not short this pin to ground.
Input supply. A minimum of 10µF X5R/X7R input capacitor is required for stability. See
“External Capacitor
Requirements” on page 9
for more details.
EPAD at ground potential. Soldering it directly to GND plane is required for thermal considerations. See
“Power
Dissipation and Thermals” on page 9
for more details.
