Diodes ZLDO485 User Manual
Zldo485, 85 volt ultra low dropout regulator

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The ZLDO Series low dropout linear
regulators operate with an exceptionally
low dropout voltage, typically only 30mV
with a load current of 100mA. The regulator
series features output voltages in the range
2.7 to 18 volts, this device provides an output
voltage of 4.85 volts.
The ZLDO485 consumes a typical quiescent
current of only 1mA and is rated to supply
load currents up to 300mA. A battery low flag
is available to indicate potential power fail
situations. If the input voltage falls to within
200mV of the regulated output voltage then
the error output pulls low. The device also
features an active high disable control. Once
disabled the ZLDO quiescent current falls to
typically 11
µ
A.
The ZLDO devices are packaged in Zetex
SM8 8 pin small outline surface mount
package, ideal for applications where space
saving is important. The device low dropout
voltage, low quiescent current and small size
make it ideal for low power and battery
powered applications. Battery powered
circuits can make particular use of the low
battery flag and shutdown features.
