Description

The FAN2504/05 family of micropower low-dropout voltage

regulators utilize CMOS technology to offer a new level of

cost-effective performance in GSM and TDMA cellular

handsets, Laptop and Notebook portable computers, and

other portable devices. Features include extremely low

power consumption and low shutdown current, low dropout

voltage, exceptional loop stability able to accommodate a

wide variety of external capacitors, and the compact SOT23-5

surface-mount package. The FAN2504/05 family of products

offer significant improvements over older BiCMOS designs

and are pin-compatible with many popular devices. The

output is thermally protected against overload.

The FAN2504 and FAN2505 devices are distinguished by

the assignment of pin 4:

FAN2504: pin 4 – ADJ, allowing the user to adjust the

output voltage over a wide range using an external voltage

divider.

FAN2504-XX: pin 4 – BYP, to which a bypass capacitor

may be connected for optimal noise performance. Output

voltage is fixed, indicated by the suffix XX.

FAN2505-XX: pin 4 – ERR, a flag which indicates that the

output voltage has dropped below the specified minimum

due to a fault condition.

The standard fixed output voltages available are 2.5V, 2.6V,

2.7V, 2.8V, 2.85V, 3.0V, and 3.3V. Custom output voltage are

also available: please contact your local Fairchild Sales

Office for information.
