Product Description
The CM3015 is a CMOS linear voltage regulator with low
quiescent current, very low drop out voltage and better
than 1% initial output voltage accuracy.
The quiescent current is typically 150µA at light loads and
only 165µA at 300mA. This is 5% more efficient than
equivalent Bi-CMOS devices that can waste up to 25mA at
300mA.
Load regulation is maintained for peak currents up to
300mA. This is useful for supplying inrush currents during
power-up and transient conditions. Continuous output
current is limited by package type and board layout.
A dedicated control input (EN, Active High) has been
included for power-up sequencing flexibility. When this
input is taken low, the regulator is disabled. In this state,
the supply current will drop to near zero.
The device also features reverse current protection. This
protects the device by blocking the pass transistors
parasitic diode when the output voltage is forced higher
than the input.
For low noise performance and increased power supply
ripple rejection a noise bypass capacitor can be connected
to the BYP pin. Connecting this capacitor will not
significantly delay the speed of power-up.
The CM3015 is fully protected, offering both overload
current limiting and high temperature thermal shutdown.
To reduce board cost and layout size the CM3015 was
designed to be stable with or without any output capacitor.
This includes tiny, low ESR ceramic capacitors.
Housed in a low profile MSOP8 package, or a SOT23-
5/SOT23-6, the device is ideal for space critical
applications.

Description
IN is the input power source for the regulator. If this input is within a few inches
of the main supply filter, a capacitor may not be necessary. Otherwise an input
filter capacitor of about 1-10uF will ensure adequate filtering.
Ground is the negative reference for all voltages
When this input is taken low (< 0.4V), the regulator is disabled. In this state, the
supply current will drop to near zero.
Reference Bypass Pin. Connect to an external capacitor for noise reduction. A
10nF-100nF size ceramic capacitor is recommended.
Out is the regulator output voltage used to power the load. No output capacitor is
required for stability. Output capacitance can be added to improve transient
response, noise performance and power supply ripple rejection for frequencies
over ~100kHz.
