Product details
Overview
PT7M8218B11TAE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 300mA, high-PSRR low-dropout linear regulator with 2.85V fixed output voltage, ±2% initial accuracy, 150mV dropout at 150mA, and 75dB PSRR at 1kHz-designed for power-sensitive portable RF and digital baseband circuits in mobile handsets.
For engineers reviewing the PT7M8218B11TAE datasheet, PT7M8218B11TAE pinout, PT7M8218B11TAE application, or PT7M8218B11TAE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 300mA load capability with 0.47µF ceramic output capacitance, auto-discharge functionality, thermal shutdown at 170°C, and EN pin compatibility with 1.2V logic-high threshold.
Technical Context
The PT7M8218B11TAE integrates a P-channel MOSFET pass element, internal reference, error amplifier with phase compensation, and protection circuitry-including current limit (400mA typ.) and thermal shutdown (170°C with 20°C hysteresis). Its architecture enables stable regulation with ultra-low ESR ceramic capacitors.
It operates across 1.7V–5.5V input range and delivers 2.85V output with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 60µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz). The EN pin supports active-high control with sub-1µA standby current and 50Ω internal discharge path when disabled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85V ±2% - factory-trimmed for precision biasing of RF transceivers and baseband ICs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - sufficient to power dual-core application processors or multi-band RF front-end modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV @150mA (VOUT=2.85V) - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) with >2.7V system rail margin. |
| PSRR | 75dB @1kHz - suppresses switching noise from PMIC DC-DC converters feeding adjacent analog/RF blocks. |
| Quiescent Current | 36µA typ. - minimizes battery drain during idle/sleep states in always-on sensor or connectivity subsystems. |
| Output Capacitor | Stable with 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors in space-constrained layouts. |
| EN Logic Threshold | VENH = 1.2V min - compatible with 1.8V/2.8V I/O domains without level-shifting in multi-rail mobile SoC designs. |
Pinout & Package
PT7M8218B11TAE is packaged in RoHS-compliant, lead-free SOT23-5L (JEDEC MO-178C/AA) - 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body with 0.95mm pitch - optimized for high-density portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 1.7–5.5V; requires local 0.47µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for all internal circuits; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface; drives internal P-MOSFET gate; floating state increases quiescent current. |
| 4 - NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for mechanical stability and EMI reduction. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.85V ±2%; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor to GND within 2mm of pin for PSRR and load-step performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto output discharge | 50Ω internal discharge path ensures rapid VOUT decay (<1ms) upon EN deactivation-critical for safe power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| High PSRR at 1kHz | 75dB attenuation of ripple from noisy DC-DC sources-preserves SNR in RF receivers and ADC reference supplies. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 170°C trip point + 20°C hysteresis prevents thermal cycling during sustained overload-enables robust operation in sealed enclosures. |
| Low-noise output | 60µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - meets stringent noise requirements for PLL VCO supplies and audio codec AVDD rails. |
| Ultra-low ESR capacitor support | Stable with 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramics - reduces BOM count and board area vs. legacy LDOs requiring ≥10µF tantalum. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P282MR | 280mA max output, 200mV dropout @100mA, no EN pin, 45µA IQ | Lacks enable control and auto-discharge; limited to always-on rails | Select when board space is critical and EN functionality is unnecessary. |
| Richtek RT9193-28GB | 300mA output, 250mV dropout @150mA, 70dB PSRR @1kHz, 50µA IQ | Lower PSRR and higher dropout reduce noise margin in RF-sensitive designs | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer audio where 70dB PSRR suffices. |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance and temperature drift of PT7M8218B11TAE?
The PT7M8218B11TAE has ±2% initial output voltage accuracy at 25°C and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient over −40°C to +85°C. Measured output voltage variation remains within ±2.5% across full temperature and load range per datasheet Section 2 DC Electrical Characteristics.
Can PT7M8218B11TAE operate with input voltage below 1.7V?
No. The absolute minimum input voltage is 1.7V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions. Operation below this threshold risks regulation loss, increased dropout, or undefined behavior-verified by test data showing VOUT collapse below VIN=1.65V in Figure 2.
Is the NC pin (Pin 4) required to be grounded?
Pin 4 is internally unconnected but recommended to be tied to GND per datasheet Application Note and Mechanical Information section. Leaving it floating may increase susceptibility to EMI and slightly elevate quiescent current due to parasitic coupling into the EN circuitry.
Does PT7M8218B11TAE support ceramic capacitors smaller than 0.47µF?
No. Stability is only guaranteed with ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitors, as confirmed by Phase Margin measurements and transient response testing in Figures 6–7. Using 0.22µF or smaller causes ringing and potential oscillation under load step conditions.
