STMicroelectronics LDLN015

The LDLN015 is an ultra low noise linear regulator which provides 150 mA maximum current from an input voltage ranging from 2.1 V to 5.5 V with a typical dropout voltage of 86 mV. With its 6.3 µ VRMS noise value in a band from 10 Hz to 100 kHz, the LDLN015 provides a very clean output suitable for ultra sensitive loads. It is stable with ceramic capacitors. High PSRR, low quiescent current and very low noise features make it suitable for low power battery powered applications. Power supply rejection is higher than 90 dB at low frequencies and starts to roll off at 10 kHz.
