This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered applications such as cordless telephones, radio control systems, and portable computers. The SPX1521 features very low quiescent current and very low dropout voltage. This includes a tight initial tolerance of ±1% max, and very low output temperature coefficient, making the SPX1521 useful as a low-power voltage reference. The SPX1521 is offered in 3 pin TO-252, SOT-223, TO-220 & TO-263 packages.

Note 2: Unless otherwise specified all limits are guaranteed for Tj = 25°C, VIN = 6V, IL = 1mA and CL = 2.2µF. Note 3: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation. Note 4: Line regulation for the SPX1521 is tested at 25°C for IL = 1 mA. For TJ = 125°C, line regulation is guaranteed by design. Note 5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential. Date: 5/25/04 SPX1521 300mA Low Dropout Voltage Regulator 2 ©Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation APPLICATION INFORMATION External Capacitors The stability of the SPX1521 requires a 2.2µF or greater capacitor between output and ground. Oscillation could occur without this capacitor. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic works fine here. For operations of below -25°C solid tantalum is recommended since the many aluminum types have electrolytes that freeze at about -30°C. The ESR of about 5Ω or less and resonant frequency above 500kHz are the most important parameters in the value of the capacitor. The capacitor value can be increased without limit. Reducing Output Noise It may be an advantage to reduce the AC noise present at the output. One way is to reduce the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output capacitor. Increasing the capacitor from 1µF to 220µF only decreases the noise from 430µV to 160µVrms for a 100kHz bandwidth at 5V output. The SPX1521, unlike other low dropout regulators will remain stable and in regulation with no load in addition to the internal voltage divider. This feature is especially important in applications like CMOS RAM keep-alive. If there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the AC filter capacitor, or if a battery is used as the input, then a 0.1µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed from the input to the ground.
