Product details
Overview
PT7M8202B12TA5EX from Pericom Semiconductor is a high-accuracy, ultra-low-noise LDO regulator delivering 300mA output current with 270mV dropout at 300mA (for 3.3V output), 30µVRMS output noise at 1.2V, and 80dB PSRR at 1kHz-designed for RF-sensitive portable devices including GSM/CDMA mobile phones and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the PT7M8202B12TA5EX datasheet, PT7M8202B12TA5EX pinout, PT7M8202B12TA5EX application, or PT7M8202B12TA5EX equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise performance under 30µVRMS, EN-controlled standby current of 0.1µA, SOT23-5L package compatibility, and BP-pin-enabled noise bypassing for RF subsystems.
Technical Context
The PT7M8202B12TA5EX uses a P-channel MOSFET pass element with internal phase compensation optimized for stability with 1µF ceramic input/output capacitors. Its error amplifier compares a resistive-divided output voltage against a precision internal reference to maintain regulation across load, line, and temperature variations.
It integrates dedicated circuitry for quick start-up (~50µs), thermal shutdown at 170°C with 40°C hysteresis, and current-limit protection activating at 450mA. The BP pin accepts a 22nF capacitor to shunt reference noise, directly reducing output voltage ripple in RF power rails.

| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Common return for input, output, and BP paths; critical for noise control |
| 3 - EN | Enable Control | Active-high logic (VENH ≥ 1.5V); controls 0.1µA standby mode |
| 4 - BP | Noise Bypass | Connects 22nF capacitor to GND to reduce reference noise and improve PSRR |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 1.2V; requires local 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P122MR | 1.2V fixed, 300mA, 250mV dropout, but no BP pin; 45µVRMS noise | Lacks BP noise-bypass capability; unsuitable for RF front-end use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs RF noise requirements |
| Ricoh RP108L121B-TR | 1.2V fixed, 300mA, 200mV dropout, 25µVRMS, but requires 2.2µF output cap | Lower dropout and noise, but incompatible with 1µF ceramic-only design | Prefer where board space allows larger output capacitance and lower dropout is critical |
Compared with XC6206P122MR and RP108L121B-TR, the PT7M8202B12TA5EX uniquely balances ultra-low noise, BP-enabled filtering, and strict 1µF ceramic compatibility-making it optimal for space-constrained RF designs where reference noise coupling must be minimized at layout level.

FAQ
What is the function of the BP pin on PT7M8202B12TA5EX?
The BP (Bypass) pin connects to a 22nF capacitor tied to GND and provides a low-impedance path for reference voltage noise, reducing output voltage noise by up to 50%. PCB layout requires a direct, short trace between BP and GND to preserve this benefit-any added inductance degrades noise suppression.
Can PT7M8202B12TA5EX operate with only 1µF ceramic capacitors?
Yes-it is internally compensated for stability with 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors on both input and output, eliminating need for higher-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic types. This simplifies BOM, reduces footprint, and improves reliability in portable devices subject to mechanical shock.
What is the minimum input voltage required for 1.2V output regulation?
With a 270mV dropout at full 300mA load, the minimum input voltage is 1.47V. However, the absolute operating minimum is 1.8V per datasheet specifications-ensuring guaranteed regulation, PSRR, and thermal margin across temperature and process variation.
How does the EN pin behave during power sequencing?
The EN pin is active-high with VENH ≥ 1.5V and VENL ≤ 0.3V. It must not float: an unconnected EN increases standby current due to internal inverter leakage. Tie to VIN through a resistor or drive actively to ensure predictable startup/shutdown timing in multi-rail systems.
