Product details
Overview
FAN2502S30X from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 3.0 V fixed-output CMOS low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator in SOT-23-5 package, delivering 150 mA output with 150 mV dropout at full load, 25 µA ground current at 150 mA, and enable/shutdown control-designed for power management in portable battery-powered systems such as cellular handsets and notebook computers.
For engineers reviewing the FAN2502S30X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ultra-low quiescent current, thermal shutdown protection, bypass-capacitor–enabled noise reduction, compatibility with wide-ESR output capacitors, and precise 3.0 V ±2% output accuracy across temperature and load.
Technical Context
The FAN2502S30X employs a P-channel MOSFET series pass element with ~1 Ω on-resistance, enabling low dropout performance superior to bipolar LDOs. Its CMOS error amplifier features low input bias current and integrates a 1.32 V bandgap reference with ±6% accuracy over temperature.
Pin 4 is configured as BYP (bypass), supporting connection of a 470 pF capacitor to reduce output noise; loop stability is maintained across 10 mΩ–10 Ω ESR output capacitors, including ceramic, tantalum, and aluminum electrolytic types.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±2% over -40°C to +125°C junction temperature |
| Dropout Voltage | 150 mV at 150 mA load - enables regulation down to VIN = 3.15 V |
| Ground Current | 25 µA at 150 mA - minimizes battery drain in active operation |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA when EN ≤ 0.4 V - supports deep sleep modes |
| PSRR | 43 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses input ripple in noisy supply environments |
| Output Noise | <7 µV/√Hz (10 Hz–1 kHz) with 10 µF COUT and 0.01 µF CBYP - critical for RF/analog subsystems |

| 2 - GND | Power Ground | Reference node for all internal circuitry; must connect to low-impedance local ground plane |
| 3 - EN | Digital Enable | Logic high (≥2.0 V) enables output; logic low (≤0.4 V) disables output to <1 µA |
| 4 - BYP | Bypass Terminal | High-impedance node for 470 pF–10 nF capacitor to filter reference noise and reduce output ripple |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.0 V to load; requires ≥1 µF output capacitor for loop stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3002E/TT | 300 mA output, 1.6 µA quiescent current, no BYP pin, 600 mV dropout at 250 mA | Lacks bypass-capacitor noise reduction; better for ultra-low-IQ standby but higher dropout limits minimum VIN | Choose for lower IQ where noise is non-critical and input headroom exceeds 0.6 V |
| TCS2113-3.0 | 200 mA output, 35 µA ground current, thermal shutdown, no EN pin, 200 mV dropout at 150 mA | No enable control; fixed 3.0 V output only; slightly higher dropout and ground current | Choose when board space prohibits EN routing and 200 mV dropout is acceptable |
Compared with MCP1700T-3002E/TT and TCS2113-3.0, the FAN2502S30X uniquely balances ultra-low ground current (25 µA), low dropout (150 mV), and integrated noise suppression via the BYP pin-making it optimal for noise-sensitive, battery-constrained portable applications requiring precise 3.0 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the FAN2502S30X?
The FAN2502S30X has an absolute maximum input voltage of 7 V, with recommended operating range from 2.7 V to 6.5 V. Exceeding 7 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. The device maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + VDO (i.e., 3.15 V typical at 150 mA), making it suitable for single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) and dual-cell alkaline inputs.
Does the FAN2502S30X require an external bypass capacitor on the BYP pin?
The FAN2502S30X does not require an external bypass capacitor on the BYP pin for basic regulation, but connecting a 470 pF capacitor significantly reduces output noise - especially critical in RF, audio, or high-resolution imaging applications. Omitting it increases broadband noise by up to 3×; high-leakage capacitors must be avoided to preserve output accuracy.
How does thermal shutdown behave in the FAN2502S30X during continuous overload?
When the FAN2502S30X junction temperature reaches 150°C, thermal protection disables the output until the die cools below the hysteresis threshold (~135°C), then automatically re-enables. During repeated cycling, asserting EN = low reduces power dissipation to <1 µA, preventing thermal oscillation and enabling safe fault recovery without manual intervention.
Can the FAN2502S30X be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the FAN2502S30X is explicitly designed for stable operation with ceramic output capacitors ranging from 1 µF to 10 µF, regardless of ESR (10 mΩ to 10 Ω). X7R or Y5V dielectrics are recommended for best temperature coefficient performance; no series resistor or ESR tuning is needed, simplifying layout and BOM.
What is the output voltage accuracy specification for the FAN2502S30X over temperature and load?
The FAN2502S30X guarantees ±2% output voltage accuracy over the full operating junction temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) and load current range (0.1 mA to 150 mA), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This includes contributions from line regulation (0.3%/V), load regulation (1.0–2.0%), and initial tolerance - verified across production lots and process corners.
