500mA ''CL Capacitorless'' CMOS LDO Regulator
The new XC6503 series from Torex, integrates internal phase compensation circuitry, removing the need for expensive output capacitors and dramatically reducing the necessary PCB layout area. Even with no capacitor, the XC6503 can deliver output currents up to 500mA and is readily available with fixed output Voltages from 1.2V to 5.0V in 0.05V increments.
PerfThe XC6503 is also very safe, with integrated short circuit protection; thermal shutdown and built-in current limiter. This clever LDO can also work with an Output Capacitor if required and includes an optional CL discharge function to immediately discharge of the Output Capacitor, ensuring that the VOUT pin drops down to ground quickly, should the XC6503 be turned off via the CE pin.
The super small USP-4 package, measuring only 1.2mm x 1.6mm x 0.6mm, makes the XC6503 ideal for space conscious applications. But when additional power dissipation is required, larger SOT25, SOT89-5 or TO252 packages are also readily available.
