RT2519
1A, Low Noise, Ultra High PSRR, Low-Dropout Linear Regulator
General Description
The RT2519 is a high performance positive low dropout
(LDO) regulator designed for applications requiring very
low dropout voltage and ultra high Power Supply Ripple
Rejection (PSRR) at up to 1A. The input voltage range is
from 2.2V to 6V and the output voltage is programmable
as low as 0.8V. A P-MOSFET switch provides excellent
transient response with just a 4.7μF ceramic output
capacitor. The external enable control effectively reduces
power dissipation while shutdown and further output noise
immunity is achieved through bypass capacitor on NR pin.
Additionally, the RT2519 features a precise 3% output
regulation over line, load, and temperature variations. The
device is available in the VDFN-8AL 3x3 package and is
specified from
−40°C
to 125°C.

Pin Function
Output of the regulator. Decouple this pin to GND with at least 4.7F for stability.
Feedback voltage input. This pin is used to set the desired output voltage via an
external resistive divider. The feedback reference voltage is 0.8V typically.
System ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and
connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
Enable control input. Connecting this pin to logic high enables the regulator or
driving this pin low puts it into shutdown mode. EN can be connected to IN if not
used. (EN pin is not allowed to be left floating.)
Noise reduction input. Decouple this pin to GND with an external capacitor can
not only reduce output noise to very low levels but also slow down the VOUT
rise like a soft-start behavior.
Supply input. A minimum of 1F ceramic capacitor should be placed as close as
possible to this pin for better noise rejection.

RT2519
Operation
The RT2519 is a low noise, high PSRR LDO which
supports very low dropout operation. The operating input
range from 2.2V to 6V and the output voltage is
programmable as low to 0.8V and the output current can
be up to 1A. The internal compensation network is well
designed to achieve fast transient response with good
stability.
In steady-state operation, the feedback voltage is
regulated to the reference voltage by the internal regulator.
When the feedback voltage signal is less than the
reference, the output current passes through the power
MOSFET will be increased. The extra amount of the
current is sent to the output until the voltage level of FB
pin returns to the reference.
On the other hand, if the feedback voltage is higher than
the reference, the power MOSFET current is decreased.
The excess charge at the output can be released by the
loading current.
Start-Up
The RT2519 has a quick-start circuit to charge the noise
reduction capacitor (C
NR
). The switch of the quick-start
circuit is closed at start up.
To reduce the noise from bandgap, there is a low-pass
(RC) filter consist of the C
NR
and the resistance which is
connected with bandgap, as Functional Block Diagrams
present.
At the start-up, the quick-start switch is closed, with only
35kΩ resistance between bandgap and NR pin. The quick-
start switch opens approximate 2ms after the device is
enabled, the resistance between NR and bandgap is about
224kΩ to form a very good low pass filter and with great
noise reduction performance.
The 35kΩ resistance is used to slow down the reference
voltage ramp to avoid inrush current at chip start-up, and
the start-up time can be calculated as :
t
SS
(sec) = 160000 x C
NR
(F)
(1)
opens the quick-start switch, the C
NR
will be charged
through higher resistance 224kΩ and takes much longer
time to finish the start up process.
Enable and Shutdown Operation
The RT2519 goes into sleep mode when the EN pin is in
a logic low condition. In this condition, the pass transistor,
error amplifier, and bandgap are all turned off, reducing the
supply current to only 2μA (max.). If the shutdown mode
is not required, the EN pin can be directly tied to VIN pin
to keep the LDO on.
Current Limit
The RT2519 continuously monitors the output current to
protect the pass transistor against abnormal operations.
When an overload or short circuit is encountered, the
current limit circuitry controls the pass transistor's gate
voltage to limit the output within the predefined range. By
reason of the build-in body diode, the pass transistor
conducts current when the output voltage exceeds input
voltage. Since the current is not limited, external current
protection should be added if device may work at reverse
voltage state.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The RT2519 has an over-temperature protection. When
the device triggers the OTP, the device shuts down until
the temperature back to normal state.
Under Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
The RT2519 utilizes an under voltage lock-out circuit to
keep the output shut off until the internal circuitry is
operating properly. The UVLO circuit has a de-glitch feature
so that it typically ignores undershoot transients on the
input if they are less than 30μs duration.
It is recommend the C
NR
value larger than 0.01μF to reduce
noise, and low leakage ceramic capacitors are suitable.
However, with too large C
NR
will extend the start-up time
very long if the C
NR
is not fully charged during 2ms and
