RT9059
3A, Ultra-Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
General Description
The RT9059 is a high performance positive voltage regulator
designed for use in applications requiring very low input
voltage and very low dropout voltage at up to 3A. It operates
with a VIN as low as 1V and VDD voltage 3V with
programmable output voltage as low as 0.8V. The RT9059
features ultra low dropout, ideal for applications where
VOUT is very close to VIN. Additionally, it has an enable
pin to further reduce power dissipation while shutdown.
The RT9059 provides excellent regulation over variations
in line, load and temperature. The RT9059 provides a power
good signal to indicate if the voltage level of V
O
reaches
90% of its rating value.
Features

Note 1.
Stresses beyond those listed
“Absolute
Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and 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 may
affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured at T
A
= 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board per JEDEC 51-7.
θ
JC
is
measured at the exposed pad of the package.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
