DESCRIPTION
The Si91821 is a 300-mA CMOS LDO (low dropout) voltage
regulator. The device features ultra low ground current and
dropout voltage to prolong battery life in portable electronics.
The Si91821 offers line and load transient response and ripple
rejection superior to that of bipolar or BiCMOS LDO regulators.
The device is designed to maintain regulation while delivering
500-mA peak current. This is useful for systems that have high
surge current upon turn-on. The Si91821 is designed to drive
the lower cost ceramic, as well as tantalum, output capacitors.
The device is guaranteed stable from maximum load current
down to 0-mA load. In addition, an external noise bypass
capacitor connected to the device’s C
NOISE
pin will lower the
LDO’s output noise for low noise applications.
The Si91821 also includes an out-of-regulation error flag.
When the output voltage is 5% below its nominal output
voltage, the error flag output goes low.
The Si91821 is available in both standard and lead (Pb)-free
MSOP-8 packages and is specified to operate over the
industrial temperature range of
−40
_C
to 85
_C.

Function
Output voltage. Connect C

between this pin and ground.
Input supply pin. Bypass this pin with a 2.2-mF ceramic or tantalum capacitor to ground.
Ground pin. Local ground for C
NOISE
and C
OUT
.
For fixed output voltage versions, this pin could be connected to GND. For adjustable output voltage version, this
voltage feedback pin sets the output voltage via an external resistor divider.
Noise bypass pin. For low noise applications, a 0.01-mF or larger ceramic capacitor should be connected from this pin
to ground.
By applying less than 0.4 V to this pin, the device will be turned off. Connect this pin to V
IN
if unused.
This open drain output is an error flag output which goes low when V
OUT
drops 5% below its nominal voltage.
