2A LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR
WITH ENABLE
DESCRIPTION
The UTC LR18120 is a positive voltage regulator with high
performance. It has low dropout voltage and low input voltage,
besides its output voltage can be fixed at 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, or 2.5V
depending on internal feedback resistors or ADJ (not connected to the
ground) with external feedback resistors. The input voltage of UTC
LR18120 can be low to 1.4V. There are two additional pin in the
LR18120. One is EN pin and the other is POK pin.
The UTC LR18120 is specially made for applications with low
input voltage, low dropout voltage, and low output voltage which is
almost the same as the input voltage. Typical applications include
motherboards, notebooks, set top boxes, network cards and
peripheral cards.
FEATURES

This pin will Indicate high under this situation: VO reaches 92% of its rating voltage.
Open-drain output.
2 VEN
The enable control Input pin. As while as this pin’s voltage falls below 0.4V ,the
LR18120 will stop working. When there’s nothing connected with this pin, for active
High version, the device will be enabled, for active Low versionthe device will be
shutdowned
3 VIN
The pin of input voltage.
Placing large capacitance closely to this pin is necessary. There should be
connected a 10µF ceramic capacitor.
4 VPP This pin is for input voltage to control circuit.
5 NC Connected nothing.
6 VOUT The voltage output pin.
7 ADJ
When this pin connected to the ground,VOUT will be set by the internal feedback
resistors. Otherwise, if using external feedback resistors to decide the VOUT, VOUT =
0.8(R1+R2)/R2 Volts.
8 GND Ground.
