150mA CMOS LDO
Regulator
(Preliminary)
Description
The
CYT6166
series of fixed output low dropout
linear regulators are designed for portable battery
powered applications, which require low dropout
voltage and low ground current.
Each device
contains a voltage reference unit, an error amplifier,
a PMOS power transistor, and resistors for setting
output voltage, and current limit and temperature
limit protection circuits.
The
CYT6166
has been designed to be used
with low cost capacitors and requires a minimum
output capacitor of 1.0µF. Standard voltage versions
are 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 2.8, 3.0, and 3.3V.
CYT6166
Features
Typical Low Dropout Voltage of 203mV at
