RT9081A
500mA, 5.5V, Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator
General Description
The
RT9081A is a high performance positive voltage
regulator with separated bias voltage (V
BIAS
), designed
for applications requiring low input voltage and ultra low
dropout voltage, output current up to 500mA. The feature
of ultra low dropout voltage is ideal for applications where
output voltage is very close to input voltage. The input
voltage can be as low as 0.8V and the output voltage is
adjustable by an external resistive divider. The RT9081A
features very low quiescent current consumption for
portable applications. The device is available in the ZADFN-
6L 1.2x1.2 package.

Operation
The
RT9081A is using N-MOSFET pass transistor for
output voltage regulation from VIN voltage. The separated
bias voltage (V
BIAS
) power the low current internal control
circuit for applications requiring low input voltage and ultra
low dropout voltage.
In steady-state operation, the feedback voltage is
regulated to the reference voltage by the internal regulator.
When the feedback voltage signal is less than the
reference, the output current passes through the power
MOSFET will be increased. The extra amount of the
current is sent to the output until the voltage level of FB
pin returns to the reference. On the other hand, if the
feedback voltage is higher than the reference, the power
MOSFET current is decreased. The excess charge at the
output can be released by the loading current.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The RT9081A has an over-temperature protection. When
the device triggers the OTP, the device shuts down until
the temperature
back to normal state.
