RT987 A, Ultra-Low Dropout, Ultra-Fast CMOS LDO Regulator General Description The RT987 is a high-performance, A LDO regulator, offering extremely high PSRR and ultra-low dropout. Ideal for portable RF and wireless applications with demanding performance and space requirements. A noise reduction pin is also available for further reduction of output noise. Regulator ground current increases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging the battery life. The RT987 also works with low-esr ceramic capacitors, reducing the amount of board space necessary for power applications, critical in hand-held wireless devices. The RT987 consumes less than.μa in shutdown mode and has fast turn-on time less than μs. The other features include ultra-low dropout voltage, high output accuracy, current limiting protection, and high ripple rejection ratio. Available in the VDFN-8L 3x3 and SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Stresses listed as the above Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may remain possibility to affect device reliability. Note. θ JA is measured in natural convection at T A = 5 C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board of JEDEC 5-7 thermal measurement standard. The measurement case position of θ JC is on the exposed pad of the package. Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended. Note. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions. Note 5. Quiescent, or ground current, is the difference between input and output currents. It is defined by I Q = I IN - I OUT under no load condition (I OUT = ma). The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current. Note 6. Standby current is the input current drawn by a regulator when the output voltage is disabled by a shutdown signal (V >.8V ). Note 7. The dropout voltage is defined as V IN V OUT, which is measured when V OUT is V OUT(NORMAL) Σ mv. Note 8. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature by using a ms current pulse. Devices are tested for load regulation in the load range from ma to.a. Note 9. Performance at -5 C T A 85 C is assured by design. db -- --.3 % Start-Up Time TStart_Up RLOAD = 3, nf CBP.
