Feature Low Drop-out Voltage, Low Output Noise Voltage, Low Inrush Current

IRVINE, Calif., June 17, 2014 — (PRNewswire) —   Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced two new additions to its TCR3D series of 300mA single output CMOS-LDO regulator ICs.  The new TCR3DMxx is housed in a small DFN4 (1.0×1.0×0.58mm) package; and the TCR3DFxx comes in a general purpose SMV(SOT-25)(2.8×2.9×1.1mm) package.

Both feature low drop-out voltage, low output noise voltage and a built-in low inrush current reduction circuit.

Toshiba offers more than 40 products with a fixed output voltage ranging from 1.0 to 4.5V to accommodate various applications, including smart phones, tablet PCs, portable audio players, digital cameras, game consoles and other small mobile devices.

CMOS-LDO regulators enable a low profile, low supply current and low dropout, making them a popular power management choice for mobile devices.  Toshiba's micro CMOS process helps the regulators improve the tradeoff between characteristics and size.  A small package size makes the new LDO regulators suitable for applications requiring high-density packaging, such as portable devices.

Features

• Low drop-out voltage: VIN-VOUT = 490mV (typ.) at 1.2 V-output, IOUT = 300mA
• Low output noise voltage: (VNO = 38μVrms (typ.) at 2.5V output, IOUT = 10mA, 10Hz ≤ f ≤ 100kHz)
• Wide range output voltage line-ups: (Configurable in a range from 1.0 to 4.5V in steps of 50mV)
• Built-in inrush current reduction circuit
• Over current protection
• Thermal shut down function
• Built-in output auto-discharge function
• Pull down connection between CONTROL and GND
• Small package: DFN4 (1.0x1.0x0.58mm), SMV(SOT-25)(2.8x2.9x1.1mm)

Notes:
Product density is identified based on the density of memory chip(s) within the Product, not the amount of memory capacity available for data storage by the end user. Consumer-usable capacity will be less due to overhead data areas, formatting, bad blocks, and other constraints, and may also vary based on the host device and application.
