Product Description
The CM3018 is a very low dropout, low noise regulator
that delivers up to 150mA of load current at a fixed out-
put voltage.
A dedicated control input (EN, Active High) provides
power-up sequencing flexibility. When this input is
taken low, the regulator is disabled. In this state, the
supply current will drop to near zero. An internal dis-
charge MOSFET resistance (300Ω) will force the out-
put to ground whenever the device is disabled.
An optional bypass pin is provided for further improve-
ment of noise performance and to maximize the power
supply ripple rejection.
The CM3018 is fully protected, offering both overload
current limiting and high temperature thermal shut-
down.
The CM3018 is available in a tiny 5 lead SOT-23 pack-
age or a 5-bump CSP and is ideal for space critical
applications. The CSP version of the CM3018 incorpo-
rates OptiGuard
TM
technology to provide increased reli-
ability at assembly.
All versions of the CM3018 are now available with
optional lead-free finishing.

DESCRIPTION
The input power supply for the regulator. If this input is within a few inches of the main
supply filter, a capacitor may not be necessary. Otherwise an input filter capacitor of
approximately 1µF will ensure adequate filtering.
The negative reference for all voltages.
A logic input control to enable the regulator output. When EN is asserted (logic high), it
allows output regulation to commence. When EN is deasserted (logic low), the regula-
tor pass transistor is forced into a high impedance mode, and an internal discharge
resistance (300Ω) is applied to the output.
This pin is connected to the internal voltage reference of the regulator. An external
bypass capacitor C
BYP
of 10nF is recommended to improve the noise performance
and to maximize the power supply ripple rejection.
The regulator voltage output used to power the load. A nominal output capacitor of 1µF
is sufficient to minimize any transient disturbances under normal operating conditions.
Additional output capacitance can be used to further improve transient load response.

Note 1: The CM3018 contains a thermal overload circuit that automatically disables the device thereby preventing excessive junc-
tion temperature. For example, a SOT23-5 packaged device mounted on a typical multi-layer board with a moderate heat
spreading copper area (2 square inches) will allow up to 0.315W to be safely dissipated, maintaining a safe operating tem-
perature. Please consult with factory for thermal evaluation assistance.
Note 2: Consult CAMD Technical Support to obtain detailed power dissipation information for the CM3018 packaged in the SOT23
and CSP packages.
