General Description
The RT9079 is a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators with
enable function offering the benefits of high input voltage,
low-dropout voltage, low-power consumption, and
miniaturized packaging.
The features of low quiescent current and almost zero
disable current is ideal for powering the battery equipment
to a longer service life. The RT9079 is stable with the
ceramic output capacitor over its wide input range from
3.5V to 36V and the entire range of output load current.

Operation
Basic Operation
The RT9079 is a high input voltage linear regulator designed
especially for low external
component systems. The input
voltage range is from 3.5V to 36V.
The minimum required output capacitance for stable
operation is 1μF effective capacitance after consideration
of the temperature and voltage coefficient of the capacitor.
Output Transistor
The RT9079 builds in a P-MOSFET output transistor which
provides a low switch-on resistance for low dropout voltage
applications.
Error Amplifier
The Error Amplifier compares the internal reference
voltage
with the output feedback voltage from the internal divider,
and controls the Gate voltage of P-MOSFET to support
good line regulation and load regulation at output voltage.
Enable
The RT9079 delivers the output power when it is set to
enable state. When it works in disable state, there is no
output power and the operation quiescent current is almost
zero.
Current Limit Protection
The RT9079 provides current limit function to prevent the
device from damages during over-load or shorted-circuit
conditions. This current is detected by an internal sensing
transistor.
Over-Temperature Protection
The over-temperature protection function turns off the P-
MOSFET when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C
(typ.) and the output current exceeds 4mA. Once the
junction temperature cools down by approximately 20°C,
the regulator automatically resumes operation.
