REG104 Regulator IC Chip

REG104(DMOS,1A Low-Dropout Regulator)

Introduction

The REG104 is a family of low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators with low ground pin current. Its new DMOS topology provides significant improvement over previous designs,including low dropout voltage (only 230mV typ at full load),and better transient performance. Additionally, stability does not require an output capacitor, unlike conventional low dropout regulators that are difficult to compensate and require expensive low ESR capacitors greater than 1μF.

Typical ground pin current is only 1.7mA (at Lout = 1A) and drops to 0.5μA in not enabled mode. Unlike regulators with PNP pass devices, quiescent current remains relatively constant over load variations and under dropout conditions.

The REG104 has very low output noise (typically 33μVRMs for Vout = 3.3V with CNR = 0.01μF), making it ideal for use in portable communications equipment. On-chip trimmin results in high output voltage accuracy. Accuracy is main-tained over temperature, line, and load variations. We test key parameters over the specified temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

The REG104 is well protected- internal circuitry provides a current limit which protects the load from damage. Thermal protection circuitry prevents excessive temperature from damaging the chip.The REG104 is available in the DDPAK-5 and the SOT223-5.
