The SP6200 and SP6201 are CMOS Low Dropout (LDO) regulators designed to meet a broad range of applications that require accuracy, speed and ease of use.

These LDOs offer extremely low quiescent current which only increases slightly under load, thus providing advantages in ground current performance over bipolar LDOs. The LDOs handle an extremely wide load range and guarantee stability with a 1μF ceramic output capacitor. They have excellent low frequency Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR), not found in other CMOS LDOs and thus offer exceptional line regulation. High frequency PSRR is better than 40dB up to 400kHz. Load regulation is excellent and temperature stability is comparable to bipolar LDOs. An enable feature is provided on all versions.

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. A VOUT good indicator is provided on all fixed output versions.

  • Low dropout voltage: 160mV @ 100mA

Distribution Date Description File
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.
