8 Applications and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component

specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are

responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should

validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

The LP5910 is designed to meet the requirements of RF and analog circuits, by providing low noise, high PSRR,

low quiescent current, and low line or load transient response figures. The device offers excellent noise

performance without the need for a noise bypass capacitor and is stable with input and output capacitors with a

value of 1 µF. The LP5910 delivers this performance in an industry-standard DSBGA package which, for this

8.2 Typical Application

Figure 25 shows the typical application circuit for the LP5910. Input and output capacitances may need to be

increased above 1-µF minimum for some applications.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.2.1 External Capacitors

Like most low-dropout regulators, the LP5910 requires external capacitors for regulator stability. The device is

specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These

capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance.
