CAT6243
1 Amp Adjustable CMOS
LDO Voltage Regulator
Description
The CAT6243 is a low dropout CMOS voltage regulator providing
up to 1000 mA of output current with fast response to load current and
line voltage changes. CAT6243 offers a user adjustable output voltage
from 0.8 V to 5.0 V and its low quiescent current make CAT6243 ideal
for energy conscious designs. CAT6243 is available in a DPAK−5
5−lead packages and in a space saving 3 mm x 3 mm WDFN−6
package with a power pad for heat sinking to the PCB.

Description
The Enable Input. An active HIGH input, turning ON the LDO. This input should be tied to
V
IN
if the LDO is not intended to be shut off during normal operation. A pull−down 2.5 MW
resistor maintains the circuit in the OFF state if the pin is left open.
Power Supply Ground; Device Substrate. The center pad is internally connected to Ground
and as such can cause short circuits to signal traces running beneath the IC. This pad is
intended for heat sinking the IC to the PCB and is typically connected to the PCB ground
plane.
Bypass input. Placing a capacitor of 100 pF to 470 pF between BYP and ground reduces
noise on V
OUT.
This capacitor is optional and it increases the turn−on time.
Regulated Output Voltage. A protection block eliminates any current flow from output to
input if V
OUT
> V
IN
.
Output Voltage Adjust Input. This input ties to the common point of a resistor divider which
determines the regulator’s output voltage. See Applications section for details on selecting
resistor values.
Positive Power Supply Input. Supplies power for V
OUT
as well as the regulator’s internal
circuitry.
