The SP6203 and SP6205 are ultra low noise CMOS LDOs with very low dropout and ground current. The noise performance is achieved by means of an external bypass capacitor without sacrificing turn-on and turn-off speed critical to portable applications. Extremely stable and easy to use, these devices offer excellent PSRR and line/load regulation. Target applications include battery powered equipment such as portable and wireless products. Regulators' ground current increases only slightly in dropout. Fast turn-on/turn-off enable control and an internal 30Ω pull down on output allows quick discharge of output even under no load conditions. Both LDOs are protected with current limit and thermal shutdown.

Both LDOs are available in fixed and adjustable output voltage versions and come in an industry standard 5-pin SOT-23 and small 2 x 3mm 8-pin DFN packages. For SC-70 100mA CMOS LDO, SP6213 is available.

01/25/2024 To improve manufacturing efficiency, MaxLinear has qualified the leadframes from AAMI in Chuzhou in addition to the currently qualified AAMI factories in Shenzhen and Malaysia, for use on the products listed above. There is no change to form, fit, function and reliability of the parts.
11/01/2023 To improve manufacturing efficiency, MaxLinear has qualified mold compound GE-1030S-CJ for use on the products listed above. There is no change to form, fit, function and reliability of the parts.
10/10/2023 Product Discontinuation Notice
07/17/2023 In 2023, MaxLinear will be converting all shipping labels for the parts noted from an EXAR format to MaxLinear’s label. During this transition customers may receive either label. This change affects only shipping and packing labels. This change will not affect the part number, part marking, manufacturing process or manufacturing sites. Only work in progress material will be converted. Existing inventory from MaxLinear’s warehouse, channel sales, distributor, and such, will not be converted. Hence, customers may experience receiving mixed shipments with both Exar and MaxLinear labels for some period until existing inventory of old labels is eventually cleared out. Situation is product to product with no predictable way to determine when all old labels will be exhausted. No change to product form, fit, function and reliability. ADDENDUM A: Fixed MBB label logo for DX204001 to MaxLinear logo. ADDENDUM B: Replaced ‘All other affected products outer box label’ with clearer pictures. Corrected Date Issued (from original PCN) issue date +90 days to August 30, 2023.
