The ADP3330 is a member of the Analog Devices， Inc.， precision low dropout （LDO） anyCAP? voltage regulator family of products. The ADP3330 operates with an input voltage range of 2.9 V to 12 V and delivers a load current up to 200 mA. The ADP3330 stands out from the conventional LDOs with a novel architecture and an enhanced process that enables it to offer performance advantages and higher output current than its competition. Its patented design requires only a minimum output capacitor of 0.47 μF for stability. This device is insensitive to output capacitor equivalent series resistance （ESR）， and is stable with any good quality capacitor， including ceramic （MLCC） types for space restricted applications. The ADP3330 achieves exceptional accuracy of ±0.7% at room temperature and ±1.4% over temperature， line and load variations. The dropout voltage of the ADP3330 is only 140 mV （typical） at 200 mA. This device also includes a safety current limit， thermal overload protection， and a shutdown feature. In shutdown mode， the ground current is reduced to less than 2 μA. The ADP3330 has an ultralow ground current 34 μA （typical） in light load situations. The 6-lead SOT-23 package has been thermally enhanced using Analog Devices proprietary chip-on-lead feature to maximize power dissipation.
