TS9001
300 mA CMOS LDO
Voltage Range 1.5 to 5.0 Volts
SOT-25
SOT-26
General Description
The TS9001 family of positive, linear regulators feature low quiescent current (30µA typ.) with low
dropout voltage, making them ideal for battery applications. The space-saving SOT-23-5 package is
attractive for “Pocket” and “Hand Held” applications.
These rugged devices have both Thermal Shutdown, and Current Fold-back to prevent device failure
under the “Worst” of operating conditions.
In applications requiring a low noise, regulated supply, place a 1000 pF capacitor between Bypass
and Ground.
The TS9001 is stable with an output capacitance of 2.2µF or greater.

Detailed Description
The TS9001 family of CMOS regulators contain a PMOS pass transistor, voltage reference, error
amplifier, over-current protection, and thermal shutdown.
The P-channel pass transistor receives data from the error amplifier, over-current shutdown, and
thermal protection circuits. During normal operation, the error amplifier compares the output
voltage to a precision reference. Over-current and Thermal shutdown circuits become active when
the junction temperature exceeds 150
o
C, or the current exceeds 300mA. During thermal shutdown,
the output voltage remains low. Normal operation is restored when the junction temperature
drops below 120
o
C.
The TS9001 switches from voltage mode to current mode when the load exceeds the rated output
current. This prevents over-stress. The TS9001 also incorporates current foldback to reduce
power dissipation when the output is short circuited. This feature becomes active when the
output drops below 0.8volts, and reduces the current flow by 65%. Full current is restored when
the voltage exceeds 0.8 volts.
External Capacitors
The TS9001 is stable with an output capacitor to ground of 2.2µF or greater. Ceramic capacitors
have the lowest ESR, and will offer the best AC performance. Conversely, Aluminum Electrolytic
capacitors exhibit the highest ESR, resulting in the poorest AC response. Unfortunately, large
value ceramic capacitors are comparatively expensive. One option is to parallel a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor with a 10µF Aluminum Electrolytic. The benefit is low ESR, high capacitance, and low
overall cost.
A second capacitor is recommended between the input and ground to stabilize Vin. The input
capacitor should be at least 0.1µF to have a beneficial effect.
A third capacitor can be connected between the BYPASS pin and GND. This capacitor can be a
low cost Polyester Film variety between the value of 0.001 ~ 0.01µF. A larger capacitor improves
the AC ripple rejection, but also makes the output come up slowly. This "Soft" turn-on is desir-
able in some applications to limit turn-on surges.
All capacitors should be placed in close proximity to the pins. A "Quiet" ground termination is
desirable. This can be achieved with a "Star" connection.
Enable
The Enable pin normally floats high. When actively, pulled low, the PMOS pass transistor shuts
off, and all internal circuits are powered down. In this state, the quiescent current is less than
1µA. This pin behaves much like an electronic switch.
