Preliminary
CMOS IC
2A ULTRA LOW DROPOUT
LINEAR REGULATOR

DESCRIPTION
The UTC LR18220 series of high performance ultra-low dropout
linear regulators operates from 2.5V to 6V input supply and
provides ultra-low dropout voltage, high output current with low
ground current. These ultra-low dropout linear regulators respond
fast to step changes in load which makes them suitable for low
voltage micro-processor applications. The UTC LR18220 is
CMOS-based positive voltage and a very low dropout regulator IC
which allows low quiescent current operation independent of output
load current. This CMOS process also allows the UTC LR18220 to
operate under extremely low dropout conditions.

FEATURES
* 400mV Dropout @ 2A, VO=2.5V
* Compatible with low ESR MLCC as Input/Output Capacitor
* Good Line and Load Regulation
* Guaranteed Output Current of 2A
* Available in SOP-8 Package
* Over-Temperature/Over-Current Protection

Notes: 1. The minimum operating value for input voltage is equal to either (VOUT, NOM+VDROP) or 2.5V, whichever is
greater.
2. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature by using a 10ms current pulse. Devices are
tested for load regulation in the load range from 10mA to 2A.
3. Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output drops 2%
below the nominal value. Dropout voltage specification applies only to output voltages of 2.5V and above.
For output voltages below 2.5V, the dropout voltage is nothing but the input to output differential, since
the minimum input voltage is 2.5V.
