Operation
Basic Operation
The RT9077 is a low quiescent current linear regulator
designed especially for low external component systems.
The input voltage range is from 3.5V to 14V.
The minimum required output capacitance for stable
operation is 1μF effective capacitance after consideration
of the temperature and voltage coefficient of the capacitor.
Output Transistor
The RT9077 builds in a P-MOSFET output transistor which
provides a low switch-on resistance for low dropout voltage
applications.
Error Amplifier
The Error Amplifier compares the internal reference voltage
with the output feedback voltage from the internal divider,
and controls the Gate voltage of P-MOSFET to support
good line regulation and load regulation at output voltage.

Enable
The RT9077 delivers the output power when it is set to
enable state. When it works in disable state, there is
almost no output power and the operation quiescent
current is less than 0.1μA (typ.).
Current Limit Protection
The RT9077 provides current limit function to prevent the
device from damages during over-load or shorted-circuit
conditions. This current is detected by an internal sensing
transistor.
Over-Temperature Protection
The over-temperature protection function turns off the P-
MOSFET when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C
(typ.) and the output current exceeds 30mA. Once the
junction temperature cools down by approximately 150°C,
the regulator automatically resumes operation.
