The SP6205EM5-2.8 is a low dropout (LDO) regulator providing a fixed 2.8V output. Manufactured by Sipex Corporation (now part of Exar Corporation and subsequently acquired by Rohm Semiconductor), it is designed for applications requiring a stable and regulated voltage supply from a battery or other power source.

Applications:

• Cellular Phones
• Cordless Phones
• PDAs
• MP3 Players
• GPS Devices

Features:

• Low Dropout Voltage: Operates with a minimal difference between input and output voltage.
• Fixed Output Voltage: Provides a stable 2.8V output.
• Low Quiescent Current: Minimizes power consumption when idle.
• Short-Circuit Protection: Protects the device from damage due to short circuits.
• Thermal Overload Protection: Prevents overheating and damage to the regulator.
• Small Footprint: Available in a small package for space-constrained applications.

Benefits:

• Extended Battery Life: Low quiescent current helps to extend battery life in portable devices.
• Stable Voltage Supply: Provides a consistent and regulated 2.8V output for sensitive electronic components.
• Reliable Operation: Short-circuit and thermal overload protection enhance reliability.
• Compact Design: Small package allows integration into small form-factor devices.

Technical Specifications:

The SP6205EM5-2.8 typically accepts an input voltage range of 2.5V to 6.0V. Its output voltage is fixed at 2.8V with a typical accuracy of ±2%. Dropout voltage is typically less than 200mV at the rated output current. Quiescent current is typically in the range of 25μA. It incorporates short-circuit and thermal overload protection. The package is typically SOT23-5. Detailed specifications can be found in the manufacturer's datasheet.
