Product details
Overview
SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an adjustable-output 500 mA CMOS low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with integrated error flag and power-on-reset functionality. It operates from 2 V to 6 V input, delivers ≤150 mV dropout at 500 mA (for VOUT ≥ 5 V), supports 1.215 V–5.0 V output via external resistor divider, and features 100 µVRMS output noise with CNOISE capacitor. It is used in battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, low-noise, low-quiescent-power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 datasheet, SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 pinout, SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 application, or SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include adjustable output range (1.215–5.0 V), guaranteed 500 mA load capability, thermal shutdown at 165 °C, 1 µA max shutdown current, and MLP33 PowerPAK package compatibility with high-current PCB layout requirements.
Technical Context
The SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with a precision 1.215 V internal reference and feedback-controlled pass transistor. Its fast transient response (>50 kHz bandwidth) enables stable operation under dynamic load steps up to 500 mA with <30 mV load regulation deviation.
It integrates dual monitoring functions: an open-drain ERROR pin asserting low when VOUT drops below 95 % of nominal, and a DELAY pin enabling programmable POR timing via external capacitor. The SENSE/ADJ pin accepts a resistor divider (R2 = 25–150 kΩ) to set output voltage, with ADJ pin current ≤100 nA ensuring minimal divider loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Guaranteed 500 mA continuous - supports high-current microcontroller cores and RF modules without derating. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), dual-cell alkaline (2–3.2 V), and 5 V rail systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150 mV typical at 500 mA for VOUT ≥ 5 V - maximizes usable battery capacity down to ~2.15 V under full load. |
| Output Noise | 100 µVRMS (50 Hz–100 kHz) with 0.1 µF CNOISE - meets low-noise analog supply requirements for ADCs and RF ICs. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1 µA maximum - preserves battery life during system sleep modes in portable devices. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165 °C junction temperature threshold with 20 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Line Regulation | ±0.18 %/V - maintains tight output stability across wide input variations common in battery discharge profiles. |
Pinout & Package
The SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 uses the thermally enhanced MLP33 PowerPAK package (3.3 mm × 3.3 mm × 0.8 mm), featuring an exposed pad soldered to PCB ground for low θJC (4 °C/W) and 1.1 W power dissipation capability at TA = 25 °C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CNOISE (1) | Noise bypass terminal | Connects to 0.01–0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to reduce output noise by 50 %; critical for analog/RF supply rails. |
| DELAY (2) | POR timing control | Sinks 1.2–3.0 µA to charge external capacitor; sets ERROR pin assertion delay for synchronized system reset. |
| GND (3) | Power and signal reference | Common return for VIN, VOUT, CNOISE, DELAY, SENSE/ADJ, and SD; must connect to exposed pad. |
| VIN (4) | Main input supply | Accepts 2–6 V; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin to ensure stability and transient response. |
| VOUT (5) | Regulated output | Delivers adjustable 1.215–5.0 V; supports 1–10 µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitors for optimal noise and transient performance. |
| SENSE/ADJ (6) | Feedback input | For adjustable version: connects to resistor divider (R1/R2); ADJ voltage fixed at 1.215 V ±2.5 %, IADJ ≤100 nA. |
| ERROR (7) | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low when VOUT < 95 % nominal; doubles as POR signal when DELAY capacitor is present; requires external pull-up. |
| SD (8) | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (≥1.5 V) enables regulation; logic-low (≤0.4 V) disables output and reduces supply current to ≤1 µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What output voltage range does the SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 support?
The SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 supports an adjustable output voltage range of 1.215 V to 5.0 V, set via an external resistor divider connected to the SENSE/ADJ pin. The internal reference voltage is 1.215 V ±2.5 %, and R2 must be between 25 kΩ and 150 kΩ for optimal noise immunity and power efficiency. This range is confirmed in the "RECOMMENDED OPERATING RANGE" table of Vishay Document 71765.
How does the ERROR pin function on the SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3?
The ERROR pin on the SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 is an open-drain output that asserts low when VOUT falls below 95 % of its nominal value. It also serves as a power-on-reset (POR) signal when a capacitor is connected between the DELAY pin and GND. An external pull-up resistor is required, and the pin's low-state voltage is guaranteed ≤0.4 V at 2 mA sink current per the "SPECIFICATIONS" section of the datasheet.
What is the maximum dropout voltage of the SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 at 500 mA load?
The maximum dropout voltage of the SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 at 500 mA load is 300 mV for VOUT ≥ 5 V (tested at room temperature), and up to 825 mV for VOUT < 2 V. These values are specified in the "SPECIFICATIONS" table under "Dropout Voltage" with test conditions clearly defined for each output voltage range and temperature condition.
Can the SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 operate with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 is explicitly designed to be stable with 1 µF to 10 µF ceramic output capacitors, including X5R and X7R dielectrics. The datasheet confirms this in the "RECOMMENDED OPERATING RANGE" and "TYPICAL APPLICATIONS CIRCUITS", noting that ceramic caps deliver superior noise and transient performance versus tantalum alternatives.
What thermal protection features does the SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 include?
The SI9185DMP-AD-T1-E3 includes thermal shutdown at 165 °C junction temperature with 20 °C hysteresis, and built-in short-circuit protection. These features are documented in the "FEATURES" list and "SPECIFICATIONS" table, where thermal shutdown junction temperature (tJ(s/d)) is guaranteed at 165 °C across -40 °C to 85 °C ambient, preventing irreversible damage during overload or poor PCB thermal design.
