DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The SC112 is a 150mA ultra low dropout linear
regulator with a built in CMOS/TTL logic level enable,
designed specifically for battery powered applications
where low quiescent current and low dropout are
critical for battery longevity.

The SC112 uses a Semtech proprietary internal PNP
device for the pass element, providing a low dropout
voltage of 130mV at a load of 60mA.
The output noise is reduced to 30µV (typical) by
placing a very low leakage 10nF capacitor on pin 3
(noise bypass).
Low dropout voltage
CMOS/TTL compatible control switch
Very low quiescent current 60µA (ON, no load)
Internal thermal shutdown
Short circuit protection
Very low standby current 0.1µA maximum (OFF)
Low noise with external bypass capacitor

Each device contains a bandgap reference, error
amplifier, PNP pass element, thermal and current
limiting circuitry and resistor divider network for setting
output voltage.
The SC112 is packaged in a six lead SOT-23 surface
mount package for a very small footprint and it requires
only a 1µF capacitor on the output and a 0.01µF on the
bypass pin for a minimum number of external
components.

APPLICATION HINTS (Refer to Sheet 1):
(1) CIN (C3) is needed if the device is far from the supply’s filter capacitors, or for operation from a battery. A value of 1.0µF or greater should
be used. CIN may be tantalum or ceramic.
(2) CO (C2) should be a 1µF or greater tantalum or ceramic capacitor,
with an Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) between 10mΩ and 1Ω
over temperature. Larger value capacitors will improve the overall transient response.
(3) CBYP (C1 - required) should be placed as close as possible to pin 3
and ground. A 10nF ceramic capacitor is recommended.
(4) EN may be tied to VIN if the shutdown feature is not required. Maximum EN voltage = VIN.
(5) Connect both ground pins (2 and 5) to ground to maximize heat
conduction.
