The ADP7183 is a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), low dropout (LDO) linear regulator that operates from −2.0 V to −5.5 V and provides up to −300 mA of output current. This LDO regulator is ideal for regulation of high performance analog and mixed-signal circuits operating from −0.5 V down to −4.5 V. Using an advanced proprietary architecture, the ADP7183 provides high PSRR and low noise, and it achieves excellent line and load transient response with a small 4.7 μF ceramic output capacitor.The ADP7183 is available in 15 fixed output voltage options. The following voltages are available from stock: −0.5 V, −1.0 V, −1.2 V, −1.5 V, −1.8 V, −2.0 V, −2.5 V, −3.0 V, and −3.3 V. Additional voltages available by special order are −0.8 V, −0.9 V, −1.3 V, −2.8 V, −4.2 V, and −4.5 V. An adjustable version is also available that allows output voltages that range from −0.5 V to −VIN+ 0.5 V with an external feedback divider.The enable logic feature is capable of interfacing with positive or negative logic levels for maximum flexibility.The ADP7183 regulator output noise is 4 μV rms independent of the output voltage. The ADP7183 is available in an 8-lead, 2 mm × 2 mm LFCSP, making it not only a very compact solution but also providing excellent thermal performance for applications requiring up to −300 mA of output current in a small, low profile footprint.ApplicationsRegulation to noise sensitive applications: analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), precision amplifiersCommunications and infrastructureMedical and healthcareIndustrial and instrumentation

The ADP8140 provides high current control of up to four LED drivers. Each driver can sink up to 500 mA. The sink current is programmed for all four drivers with one external resistor.The device features a feedback output that controls an external power supply for optimal efficiency. The ADP8140 also protects the LEDs, power supply, and itself against thermal events, short circuits, overvoltages, and LED open circuits. Multiple ADP8140 ICs are easily connected in parallel to drive additional LED strings or higher current LEDs. The ADP8140 is available in a small, thermally enhanced, lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP).ApplicationsHigh brightness LED lightingLarge format LED backlighting

The ADP8870 combines a programmable backlight LED charge-pump driver with automatic phototransistor control of the brightness (LED current) and a PWM input to control the scale of the output current. This combination allows significant power savings because it automatically changes the current intensity based on the sensed ambient lighting levels and the display image content. It performs this function automatically, eliminating the need for a processor to monitor the phototransistor. The light intensity thresholds are fully programmable via the I2C interface.The ADP8870 allows up to six LEDs to be independently driven up to 30 mA (maximum). An additional seventh LED can be driven to 60 mA (maximum). All LEDs are individually programmable for minimum/maximum current and fade-in/fade-out times through an I2C interface. These LEDs can also be combined into groups to reduce the processor instructions during fade-in and fade-out.Driving these components is a two-capacitor charge pump with gains of 1×, 1.5×, and 2×. This setup is capable of driving a maximum IOUT of 240 mA from a supply of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. A full suite of safety features, including short-circuit, overvoltage, and overtemperature protection, allows easy implementation of a safe and robust design. Additionally, input inrush currents are limited via an integrated soft start combined with controlled input-to-output isolation.ApplicationsMobile display backlightingMobile phone keypad backlightingRGB LED lightingLED indicationGeneral backlighting of small format displays
