Description
The LD3985 provides up to 150mA, from 2.5V to
6V input voltage.
The ultra low drop-voltage, low quiescent current
and low noise make it suitable for low power
applications and in battery powered systems.
Regulator ground current increases only slightly
in dropout, further prolonging the battery life.
Power supply rejection is better than 60 dB at low
frequencies and starts to roll off at 10KHz. High
power supply rejection is maintained down to low
input voltage levels common to battery operated
circuits. Shutdown Logic Control function is
available, this means that when the device is used
as local regulator, it is possible to put a part of the
board in standby, decreasing the total power
consumption. The LD3985 is designed to work
with low ESR ceramic capacitors. Typical
applications are in mobile phone and similar
battery powered wireless systems.

100mV below its nominal value. This specification does not apply for input voltages below
2.5V.
