LP2203
200mA,Dual Channel Ultra-Fast CMOS LDO Regulator
Features
General Description
Wide Operating Voltage Ranges : 2.5V to 5.5V 
The LP2203 is a dual channel, low noise, and low
dropout regulator sourcing up to 250mA at each
channel. The range of output voltage is from 1.2V to
3.6V by operating from 2.5V to 5.5V input.
LP2203 offers 2% accuracy, extremely low dropout
voltage (80mV @ 150mA), and extremely low ground
current, only 25µA per LDO. The shutdown current is
near zero current which is suitable for battery-power
devices. Other features include current limiting, over
temperature, output short circuit protection.
LP2203 can operate stably with very small ceramic
output capacitors, reducing required board space and
component cost. LP2203 is available in fixed output
voltages in the USP-6 package.

Applications Information
Like any low-dropout regulator, the external capacitors
used with the LP2203 must be carefully selected for
regulator stability and performance. Using a capacitor
whose value is > 1µF on the LP2203 input and the
amount of capacitance can be increased without limit.
The input capacitor must be located a distance of not
more than 0.5 inch from the input pin of the IC and
returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality
ceramic or tantalum can be used for this capacitor. The
