The CM3018 is a very low dropout, low noise regulator that delivers up to 150mA of load current at a fixed output voltage.

A dedicated control input (EN, Active High) provides power-up sequencing flexibility. When this input is taken low, the regulator is disabled. In this state, the supply current will drop to near zero. An internal discharge MOSFET resistance (300) will force the output to ground whenever the device is disabled.

An optional bypass pin is provided for further improvement of noise performance and to maximize the power supply ripple rejection.

The CM3018 is fully protected, offering both overload current limiting and high temperature thermal shutdown.

The CM3018 is available in a tiny 5 lead SOT-23 package or a 5-bump CSP and is ideal for space critical applications. The CSP version of the CM3018 incorporates OptiGuard™ technology to provide increased reliability at assembly.

All versions of the CM3018 are now available with optional lead-free finishing.
