RT9008
Low Dropout Linear Regulator Controller with Soft-Start
General Description
The RT9008 is a wide input range, low dropout voltage
regulator controller with soft-start function. The part drives
an external N-MOSFET and can operate with VCC power
range from 4.5V to 13.5V. With this flexible topology and
wide input voltage range, the RT9008 is suitable for various
applications. The soft-start function can reduce the input
inrush current by adjusting the external capacitor. The
RT9008 uses the small footprint package of the SOT-23-6.

Note 1.
Stresses listed as the above "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for
stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may remain possibility to affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured in the natural convection at
T
A
= 25°C
on a low effective thermal conductivity single layer test board of
JEDEC 51-3 thermal measurement standard.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
