POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC1454 contains two ultra low dropout voltage
regulators (ULDOs). It operates from an input voltage
range of 2.25V to 6.5V, and a wide variety of output
voltage options are available. One ULDO has a fixed
output, and the other is either fixed (SETA pin grounded)
or adjustable using external resistors. Each ULDO has an
independent enable pin.
The SC1454 has a bypass pin to enable the user to
capacitively decouple the bandgap reference for very low
output noise (50µVRMS typically).
Designed specifically for battery operated systems, the
devices utilize CMOS technology to require very low
operating currents (typically 130µA with both outputs
supplying 150mA). In addition, the dropout voltage is
typically 155mV at 150mA, helping to prolong battery
life further. The devices are designed to provide 400mA
of peak current for applications which require high initial
inrush current.
They have been designed to be used with low ESR
ceramic capacitors to save cost and PCB area.
