Low-Noise LDOs deliver PSRR performance of 60 dB at 100 kHz.
Press Release Summary:
Achieving 35 µVrms noise at 1.8 V output and 60 dB power supply rejection ratio at 100 kHz, ADP124 and ADP125 help battery-operated portable equipment run longer and more efficiently. LDOs operate from 2.3-5.5 V and provide up to 500 mA output current. While ADP124 offers 31 fixed-output voltage options from 1.75-3.3 V, ADP125 provides adjustable output voltage from 0.8-5.0 V. Quiescent current of 210 µA and 130 mV dropout voltage at 500 mA load further extends device battery life.

500-mA LDOs Double the Power Rejection of Competing Devices to Improve Portable and Battery-Powered Equipment Performance
Analog Devices'ADP124 and ADP125 high-performance low-dropout regulators provide low noise and high 60-dB power-supply-rejection ratio at 100 kHz.
NORWOOD, Mass.-- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications, today introduced two low-quiescent-current LDOs (low-dropout linear regulators) that deliver outstanding supply-rejection performance to help battery-operated portable equipment run longer and more efficiently. The new ADP124 and ADP125 LDOs have excellent PSRR (power-supply-rejection ratio) performance of 60 dB at 100 kHz, which is twice that of the nearest competing LDOs, and achieve low noise of 35 µVrms (micro-volts per root mean squared) at 1.8 V output. Operating from an input voltage between 2.3 V and 5.5 V and providing up to 500 mA of output current down to a 0.8 V output, the new LDOs also feature a low quiescent current of 210 µA and a 130 mV dropout voltage at a 500 mA load, which further improves portable equipment operating efficiency over a wide input-voltage range.

"Designing for portable products requires a small solution size, low power dissipation, and high power-supply rejection for the best mixed-signal processing performance, particularly during instances where the power supply is a hidden source of noise," said Walt Heinzer, product line manager, Power Management Group, Analog Devices. "By offering a superior 60-dB PSRR, these high-performance LDOs are 30 dB--or 30X better on a logarithmic scale--when compared to commodity LDOs that offer 25 dB or 30 dB. They surpass competitive alternatives by offering the best combination of very-low dropout, low noise, and high power-supply-rejection ratio at a very competitive price."
The ADP124 offers 31 fixed-output voltage options from 1.75 V to 3.3 V. The ADP125 LDO provides an adjustable output voltage between 0.8 V and 5.0 V using an external voltage divider. The ADP124 and ADP125 are specifically designed for stable operation with tiny 1 µF ceramic input and output capacitors to meet the requirements of high-performance, space-constrained applications. The LDOs are available in a compact 2 mm x 2 mm x 0.55 mm LFCSP package or an 8-lead exposed paddle MSOP package.
