GS2905
500mA CMOS LDO Voltage Regulator
Product Description
The GS2905 series is a group of positive voltage output, three-pin regulators, that provide
a high current even when the input/output voltage differential is small. Low power
consumption and high accuracy is achieved through CMOS and programmable fuse
technologies. Output voltage: 1.5V to 6.0V.
The GS2905 consists of a high-precision voltage reference, an error correction circuit, and
a current limited output driver. Transient response to load variations has improved in
comparison to the existing series.
The GS2905 incorporates both over-temperature and over-current protection. SOT-89 and
SOT-223 packages are available.

A 1µF (or greater) capacitor is required between the GS2905 output and ground for stability.
Without this capacitor the part will oscillate. Even though most types of capacitor may work,
the equivalent series resistance (ESR) should be held to 5 or less if Aluminum electrolytic
type is used. Many Aluminum electrolytic have electrolytes that freeze at about -30°C, so
solid tantalums are recommended for operation below -25°C. The value of this capacitor
may be increased without limit.
A 0.1µF capacitor (or greater) should be placed from the GS2905 input to ground if the lead
inductance between the input and power source exceeds 500nH (approximately 10 inches
of trace).
