The parts are optimized for stable operation with small output current. The low 135 mV dropout voltage at 150 mA 1 F ceramic output capacitors. The ADP121 delivers good load improves efficiency and allows operation over a wide transient performance with minimal board area. input voltage range. The low 30 A of quiescent current at full Short-circuit protection and thermal overload protection circuits load makes the ADP121 ideal for battery-operated portable prevent damage in adverse conditions. The ADP121 is available equipment. in a tiny 5-lead TSOT and 4-ball 0.4 mm pitch halide-free WLCSP packages and utilizes the smallest footprint solution to meet a variety of portable applications.
