PRELIMINARY INFORMATION LOW-DROPOUT REGULATORS -- HIGH EFFICIENCY (subject to change without notice) July 13, 1999 Designed specifically to meet the requirement for extended operation of battery-powered equipment such as cordless and cellular telephones, the A8188S-- voltage regulators offer the reduced dropout voltage and quiescent current essential for maximum battery life. Applicable also to palmtop computers and personal data assistants, these devices deliver a regulated output at up to 250 mA (transient), which is limited only by package power dissipation. Regulated output voltages between 2.5 V and 3.3 V are trimmed at wafer probe. A8188SLT-xx GND 3 OUT 2 IN VR 1 Data Sheet 27468.8 8188 Dwg.

Under any set of conditions, do not exceed a junction temperature of +150C. See following pages. Fault conditions that produce excessive junction temperature will activate device thermal shutdown circuitry. These conditions can be tolerated but should be avoided. A PMOS pass element provides a typical dropout voltage of only 90 mV at 60 mA of load current. The low dropout voltage permits deeper battery discharge before output regulation is lost. Quiescent current does not increase significantly as the dropout voltage is approached, an ideal feature in standby/resume power systems where data integrity is crucial. Regulator accuracy and excellent temperature characteristics are provided by a bandgap reference. The A8188SL-xx includes ENABLE inputs to give the designer complete control over power up, standby, or power down. These devices are supplied, without the ENABLE function, in a standard 3-lead SOT-89/TO-243AA small-outline plastic transistor package (suffix `LT'). Dual regulators (A8188SL-xx) are provided in an 8-lead SOIC package. All devices are rated for operation over a temperature range of -20C to +85C.
