The low drop-voltage and the SOT23-5L SOT-89 ultra low quiescent current make them suitable for low noise, low power applications and in battery powered systems. The quiescent current in sleep mode is less than 1A when INHIBIT pin is pulled low. Shutdown Logic Control function is available on pin n.3 (TTL compatible). This means that when the device is used as local regulator, it is possible to put a part of the board in standby, decreasing the total power consumption. The LD2981 is designed to work with low ESR ceramic capacitor. Typical applications are in cellular phone, palmtop/laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), personal stereo, camcorder and camera.

This capacitor must be selected to meet the requirements of minimum capacitance and equivalent series resistance. We suggest to solder input and output capacitors as close as possible to the relative pins. INPUT CAPACITOR An input capacitor whose value is 1F is required with the LD2981 (amount of capacitance can be increased without limit). This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 0.5" from the input pin of the device and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum or film capacitors can be used for this capacitor. OUTPUT CAPACITOR The LD2981 is designed specifically to work with ceramic output capacitors. It may also be possible to use Tantalum capacitors, but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost. By the way, the output capacitor must meet both the requirement for minimum amount of capacitance and ESR (equivalent series resistance) value. The figures 1 and 2 show the allowable ESR range as a function of the output capacitance. These curves represent the stability region over the full temperature and IO range. Due to the different loop gain, the stability improves for higher output versions and so the suggested minimum output capacitor value, if low ESR ceramic type is used, is 1F for output voltages equal or major than 3.8V, 2.2F for output voltages from 2.85 to 3.3V, and 3.3F for the other versions. However, if an output capacitor lower than the suggested one is used, it's possible to make stable the regulator adding a resistor in series to the capacitor (see Figure1 & Figure2 to choose the right value according to the used version and keeping in account that the ESR of ceramic capacitors has been measured @ 100KHz). IMPORTANT The output capacitor must maintain its ESR in the stable region over the full operating temperature to assure stability. Also, capacitor tolerance and variation with temperature must be considered to assure the minimum amount of capacitance is provided at all times. This capacitor should be located not more than 0.5" from the output pin of the device and returned to a clean analog ground. INHIBIT INPUT OPERATION The inhibit pin can be used to turn OFF the regulator when pulled low, so drastically reducing the current consumption down to less than 1A. When the inhibit feature is not used, this pin must be tied to VI to keep the regulator output ON at all times. To assure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the inhibit pin must be able to swing above and below the specified thresholds listed in the electrical characteristics section under VIH VIL. Any slew rate can be used to drive the inhibit. REVERSE CURRENT The power transistor used in the LD2981 has not an inherent diode connected between the regulator input and output. If the output is forced above the input, no current will flow from the output to the input across the series pass transistor. When a VREV voltage is applied on the output, the reverse current measured, according to the test circuit in figure 19, flows to the GND across the two feedback resistors. This current typical value is 160A. R1 and R 2 resistors are implanted type; typical values are, respectively, 42.6 K and 51.150 K. 11/17 LD2981 SERIES Figure 19 : Reverse Current Test Circuit 12/17 LD2981 SERIES SOT23-5L MECHANICAL DATA mm. mils DIM.
