The RT9167B is a 300mA low dropout and low noise micropower regulator suitable for portable applications. The output voltages range from 1.5V to 5V in 100mV increments and 2% accuracy. The RT9167B is designed for use with very low ESR capacitors. The output remains stable even with 1μF ceramic output capacitor.
The RT9167B uses an internal PMOS as the pass device, which does not cause extra GND current in heavy load and dropout conditions. The shutdown mode with nearly zero operation current makes the IC suitable for battery-powered devices. Other features include a reference bypass pin to improve low noise performance, current limiting, and over temperature protection.
