Product details
Overview
PT7M8202B15TA5EX 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 power supply rails in mobile phones and portable wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the PT7M8202B15TA5EX datasheet, PT7M8202B15TA5EX pinout, PT7M8202B15TA5EX application, or PT7M8202B15TA5EX equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise performance for RF front-end biasing, EN-controlled quick start-up (50µs), thermal shutdown at 170°C, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic input/output capacitors.
Technical Context
The PT7M8202B15TA5EX uses a P-channel MOSFET pass element with internal phase compensation optimized for stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors. Its error amplifier compares a resistor-divided output voltage against a precision bandgap reference to maintain regulation across load, line, and temperature variations.
It integrates dedicated circuitry for EN control (high-active logic), BP pin-based noise filtering via 22nF capacitor, and dual protection: current-limiting (450mA typical) and thermal shutdown with 40°C hysteresis. The device operates from 1.8V to 5.5V input and delivers a factory-trimmed 1.5V output (per "B15" suffix).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.5V ±2% - factory-trimmed, stable over -40°C to +85°C with ±100ppm/°C tempco |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports RF transceivers and baseband ICs without thermal derating at ambient ≤85°C |
| Dropout Voltage | 270mV @300mA - enables operation from 1.77V input for 1.5V rail, critical for battery-powered systems |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - achieved via BP pin bypass; meets GSM/CDMA RF section noise floor requirements |
| PSRR | 80dB @1kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input |
| Standby Current | 0.1µA @EN=LOW - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable devices |
| Start-up Time | 50µs typical - ensures rapid power sequencing for wake-up events in mobile applications |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5L package (TA5 code), 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, lead-free and RoHS-compliant. Compatible with standard SOT23 pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Regulator input supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5V; requires local 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass to GND for stability |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for VIN, VOUT, EN, and BP; must be low-impedance plane |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | High-active logic: >1.5V = ON, <0.3V = OFF; drives internal switch to disable output |
| BP (Pin 4) | Noise bypass terminal | Connects to 22nF capacitor to GND; reduces output noise by filtering reference path |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.5V ±2%; requires 1µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| P-channel MOSFET pass device | Enables low dropout and eliminates need for external compensation components |
| BP pin with 22nF bypass | Reduces integrated output noise to 30µVRMS-critical for RF receiver LNA and mixer bias rails |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 170°C junction temperature and re-enables only after cooling by ≥40°C |
| Current limit protection | Clamps output at ~450mA to prevent damage during short-circuit or overload conditions |
| Stable with 1µF ceramic caps | Eliminates need for larger, higher-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P152MR | Fixed 1.5V output, 150mA max, no BP pin, 45µVRMS noise | Lacks noise-bypass capability and current headroom for RF PA bias | Choose only for non-RF, lower-current applications where cost is primary constraint |
| Richtek RT9193-15GB | 1.5V output, 300mA, no BP pin, 50µVRMS noise, 65dB PSRR @1kHz | Higher noise and lower PSRR reduce suitability for GSM receiver chains | Acceptable for baseband or digital logic rails, but not for RF analog sections |
Compared with XC6206P152MR and RT9193-15GB, the PT7M8202B15TA5EX uniquely combines 300mA drive, 30µVRMS noise, BP-pin optimization, and 80dB PSRR-making it the only option qualified for noise-sensitive RF analog supply nodes in portable wireless systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the BP pin on PT7M8202B15TA5EX?
The BP (Bypass) pin connects to a 22nF capacitor to ground and filters noise on the internal reference voltage path. This reduces output voltage noise to 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz). PCB layout requires a direct, short trace between BP and GND; long traces degrade noise performance and may cause instability.
Can PT7M8202B15TA5EX operate with input voltage below 1.8V?
No. The absolute minimum operating input voltage is 1.8V per datasheet specifications. Below this, regulation fails and output drops out of specification. At 1.77V input (for 1.5V output), dropout margin is exhausted-operation is not guaranteed and may result in unregulated output or thermal shutdown under load.
Is PT7M8202B15TA5EX compatible with 0402-size 1µF ceramic capacitors?
Yes. The device is characterized and stable with 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors in 0402 package (typical ESR <10mΩ). Layout best practice requires placing both input and output capacitors within 2mm of their respective pins, with solid ground plane underneath to minimize loop inductance and ensure PSRR performance.
Does PT7M8202B15TA5EX support reverse polarity protection?
No. The device lacks built-in reverse-voltage protection. Applying reversed input voltage (VIN < GND) may damage the internal P-MOSFET and ESD structures. External protection-such as a series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller-is required if system-level reverse polarity risk exists.
