ANALOG DEVICES ADP3309handbookRev C
The ADP3309 is a precision low‑dropout (LDO) linear regulator offering ±1.2 % accuracy, ultra‑low dropout voltage (120 mV typical at 100 mA) and operation over a 2.8 V‑12 V input range. It requires only a 0.47 µF output capacitor for stability and works with any capacitor type, including MLCCs.
Typical applications include cellular phones, notebook computers, battery‑powered systems, PCMCIA regulators, bar‑code scanners, and camcorders. The document provides functional block diagrams, pin descriptions, performance curves, thermal protection details, PCB layout recommendations, and example circuits for higher current or dual‑output configurations.
