CAT6242
1.3 Amp CMOS LDO Voltage
Regulator
Description
The CAT6242 is a low dropout CMOS voltage regulator providing
up to 1300 mA of output current with fast response to load current and
line voltage changes. CAT6242 has a fixed output voltage that is
factory programmable to a level between 1.1 V and 4.1 V with steps of
0.1 V. Other fixed values in the range are available on demand.
CAT6242 is packaged in a space saving 3 mm x 3 mm WDFN−6
package with a power pad for heat sinking to the PCB.

Description
The Enable Input. An active HIGH input, turning ON the LDO. A pull−up 2.5 MW resistor maintains the
circuit in the ON state if the pin is left open.
Power Supply Ground; Device Substrate. The center pad is internally connected to Ground and as
such can cause short circuits to signal traces running beneath the IC. This pad is intended for heat
sinking the IC to the PCB and is typically connected to the PCB ground plane.
Bypass input. Placing a capacitor of 100 pF to 470 pF between BYP and ground reduces noise on
V
OUT.
This capacitor is optional and it increases the turn−on time.
Regulated Output Voltage. A protection block eliminates any current flow from output to input if V
OUT
> V
IN
.
SENSE is the sense input of the circuit and is connected externally to the VOUT line.
Positive Power Supply Input. Supplies power for V
OUT
as well as the regulator’s internal circuitry.
