Regulators consume only 0.8uA in normal
operation
Ultrasmall LDOs are ideal for portable applications where space is at a premium, such as mobile phones, portable games, cameras, portable AV equipment and PDAs.
Designed to operate with input voltages up to 6.0V, CMOS LDO voltage regulators in the new XC6215 Series from Torex Semiconductor are ideally suited for battery-powered applications where small size and low power consumption are key design targets The new XC6215 voltage regulators consume only 0.8uA in normal operation, falling to less than 0.1uA in standby mode

The XC9128/29 series from Torex deliver efficiencies up to 93% over the entire load range, and can supply 500mA to a 3.3V load from a 1.8V battery supply.
In addition, LDOs in the new XC6215 range feature a CE pin that enables design engineers to shut down the device when not in use, thereby reducing power consumption even further.
Available in a wide range of ultrasmall USP-3, USP-4 and SSOT-24 packages, as well as SOT-25, devices in the XC6215 Series are ideal for portable applications where space is at a premium such as mobile phones, portable games, cameras, portable AV equipment and PDAs.
For the tightest of spots the XC6215P (no CE pin) USP-3 device measures just 1.2 x 1.2 x 0.6mm in size.
Output voltages can be factory set anywhere from 0.9 to 5.0V in 100mV steps, and the operating voltage range is from 1.5 to 6.0V.
The XC6215 LDOs are also compatible with low ESR ceramic capacitors, which give added output stability.
The maximum output current for devices in the XC6215 range is typically 200mA, and the operating temperature range is from -40 to +85C.
